Following the news about Scott Mills finally becoming the permanent chart show presenter, it reminded me of this thread and I want to give it a bit of a bump (as it has taken me flipping ages to find it with the search facility :-p). I might update for the last three years at some point next week (away on holibobs this week).

I was talking about the chart show really though, following on from Sm1ffj's list, otherwise Scott wouldn't have been incoming, as he's been at Radio 1 for yonks.

Absolutely made up for Scott, they should have given him the show years ago! And a full 3hrs too. As for Dance Anthems, if it's meant to herald the weekend schedule , and the weekend now starts on Friday, wouldst that mean it would be on Thursday evening now? That's also an interesting list to see Scott will be the oldest incoming presenter, I guess Fluff would be the oldest for an outgoing one, and wasn't SImon Bates only ever cover rather than permanent.

1997

Two weeks, as Wham! will knock him off for xmas.

I guess this is the best place to ask this. Does anyone know what happened to www://spotifycharts.com? They had the various charts going back to about April 2015, albeit a few missing ones in the earliest months, but suddenly now nothing goes back before 01/01/2017, or thereabouts? I was in the middle of using the data to compile something, and have now wasted the hours I put into it as the data I need to carry on the project has vanished.

I'm pretty sure it means that the penalty will be applied from week 4, after three weeks of declining 'sales' are observed under SCR. Otherwise the single would in effect be given two 'sales' figures in the same week, the SCR to justify application of the rule, and the ACR to justify the final chart position.

Exactly, although what they said was nice they didn't really put him or his feats in any sort of context. Back in the day they would have said the years he presented from, Who replaced him when he left (Your starter for ten: anyone remember who that was?) and his achievements, including the five mile freefall and nelson's coulumn and so on. But being on once a week now I guess their time is far more at a premium during the actual broacast programme than it was back in the day, but maybe they should put a longer version on their webpage/iplayer for anyone interested. I watched the whole show today, and although it was a live outside broadcast (not sure how common either of those things are in the current series) I thought they did a good job, and Lindsey in particular was very good at ab-libbing around minor unexpected things, and came across to me as a really good presenter. Radzi seem pretty good too. Barney was the only presenter I've seen presenting before, but if this had been the only time I saw him then I wouldn't be sure what to think, as the other two seemed to do most of the show whilst Barney watched them. Barney certainly didn't seem like the senior presenter of the line-up today, but then I guess they've all been there a good few years now I suppose.

I watched throughout that era too! Although my earliest memories are of Mark Curry, Caron Keating and Yvette Fielding, and I think I have very hazy memories of the tail end of Simon Groom, Peter Duncan and Janet Ellis's era as it overlapped with Mark and Caron. Admittedly I was rather old for the show by the time of the likes of Matt and Liz! The thing is that even though he was well before my time I was still very aware of who John Noakes was at the time, as Blue Peter often referenced the things he'd done back then, showed clips etc. Plus I had (and still have) all the annuals and most of the other tie-in books, almost all the videos, the CD-rom etc I hope there is some sort of primetime tribute to John on the Beeb at some point. And any 60th anniversary celebrations for the show next year would be another opportunity for his legacy to be remembered. I would love, for example, a Blue Peter DVD, with complete films/segments or even full episodes from a given year or era, or themed ones drawing from all eras....

Blue Peter today paid a short tribute to the legendary John Noakes at the end of this week's show (yep, the show is only once a week now!). I wondered what people thoughts were on it. Given how far removed the current show is from the show of the 60s and 70s, and how long ago he must seem to the young target audience, I wasn't sure if he'd even get more than say a endcap with his pic and dates, so I was pleased(ish) to see that they had given over the last minute of the show to him, and especially to hear how genuinely heartfelt and respectful the presenters were when speaking about him (particularly when compared with the delivery style of the presenter (don't know her name) on Newsround on Monday covering the news of his death). On the other hand short clips used were fairly brief and some were a little random, so more than 1 minute overall might have been preferable. I seem to recall that Caron Keating's memorial in 2004 was more like 3 minutes (and she left in 2000, so she would have been relatively unknown to the target audience of 2004 too, so it isn't a case of her having greater relevance to the then audience than John would have to the current one). If you haven't seen it you can catch it on iplayer (am I allowed to link it here?) Also I would love to hear what buzzjacker's favourite memories of John Noakes were, regardless of whether you were an original viewer, or only saw some of his best bits being repeated in later years. RIP John, reunited with Shep and Patch now.

I do see what the OCC people mean though. Look at this week's sales chart, or the download chart, and you'll see that Ed's tracks are being downloaded individually enough times to enter the top 50, so even if we go back to a pure sales chart there would still be a sort of mini invasion anyway. If you define a single as only the tracks that have been paid for individually enough times, and only add streaming to those (with perhaps a separate album tracks chart, or just all other streams counting to the album chart), then the invasion would only get stronger, even if you attempt to minimise streaming's impact by not counting individual track streams from a complete stream of an album. In any case I suspect that only a relatively few people streamed the entire album from start to finish, just as people who buy a CD album don't necessarily play the whole thing every time they listen to it (and even if they started off doing so may well routinely skip a track or tracks once they get to know the album and what they do/don't like). I also don't think that those playlists are the entire problem, as they are just the industry trying to control what gets into the chart in the same that it did with prominent walls of discounted new entries in the 90s, or multiple formats or free gifts for a physical release etc, though admittedly those were eventually tackled in the chart rules, but they didn't make new chart rules for them as soon as the first instance of heavy discounting, excessive multi-formatting or overly generous gifting was noticed. I don't like the idea of forcing the record companies to nominate a small or fixed number of tracks to be singles, but I do wonder if it should maybe it should be the case that the album tracks have to be paired up, since lesser tracks would be the b-sides in the olden days. If record companies had to tell the OCC which tracks went with which I think that would allow the record company some flexibility to change the official singles to reflect any unforeseen popularity of an album track, whilst preventing a flood of tracks. The trick for the record company would be to ensure that they either paired up the ones they expect to be most popular with ones they thought wouldn't do so well, in order to ensure each of the better tracks can chart separately, or else if they think that only a couple of tracks would ever be popular (or the artist does not have the material for a full album) then they could pair them together as one single to maximise the one single's chart impact but thereby lose the possibility of marketing that second popular track as a separate chart-eligible single. I think this pairing up of album tracks would actually hark back to the early days of the album, when it was literally a paper album (think photo album or whatever) into which multiple shellac discs (i.e. singles) would be bound, yet it could also be a better way of defining what a single is in the modern download and stream led era. I think no-one would be able to complain about unfair advantages as all tracks would be part of a pair and all artists/labels would have had the chance to decide their pairing strategy in the first place, to either try for multiple hits from the album, or maximise the impact of the best 1 or 2 tracks instead.

I believe they devised a system whereby any particular countries televote could be constructed as a sort of average of it's neighbours choices, but I hope they use a few careful provisos if that's the case, as otherwise if either the Azerbaijan or Armenia televotes were to fail they could find themselves awarding televote points to a country they have been at war with and whom they never previously ranked above bottom place in either jury or televoting. San Marino is simply not big enough to provide a statistically valid televote, but other countries sometimes fail to have a valid televote on either economic grounds or through problems with the comms infrastructure in that country, though this tends to only be a problem in parts of former Yugoslavia, and some other Balkan countries, most notably Albania.

When Bucks Fizz won in 1981 it was virtually no countries actual favourite, but all countries thought it was 'kinda nice', whilst most of the various countries true favourites were seemingly either loved or hated based on the varied points awarded or not awarded. So it is demonstrably possible to win by being the most 'tolerable' entry rather than being truly loved by anyone, but maybe that strategy doesn't work as well these days with so many more countries voting.

Having said all that it's just occurred to me that, as far as I understand it, the juries awarded their points on separate performances on Friday night, so my arguments above don't apply, but also if this juror did make this mistake then there was more than enough time to correct the mistake before the results were used during the show.

They have tried larger juries (notably one year when they first increased the jury size, then overturned the change at the last minute, resulting in different countries using different sized juries that year), but they found that a larger jury takes longer to collate its results, increasing the chances of not declaring in time (the infamous "I don't have it" moment comes to mind, from the year of the jury size confusion), though admittedly that shouldn't apply so much now that individual jurors scores are recorded first and the televote is not added into it.

Did you use the 2009 system (combining the top 10 jury and top 10 televotes for each country's overall result) or the 2010-15 system (combining the entire top 25/26 jury and televote results for each country)? I laboriously calculated the latter over night and have a slightly different listing to you. Perhaps you disregarded the made-up televotes in countries were the actual one was invalid, although have they even confirmed these yet? 1 315 Australia 2 279 Ukraine 3 242 Russia 4 178 Bulgaria 5 162 France 6 155 Sweden 7 139 Armenia 8 103 Lithuania 9 90 Belgium 10 77 Netherlands 11 76 Latvia 12 71 Austria 13 69 Italy 14 62 Hungary 15 61 Serbia 16 55 Georgia 17 53 Azerbaijan 18= 49 Poland 18= 49 Cyprus 20 35 Spain 21= 27 Israel 21= 27 UK 23 23 Croatia 24 18 Malta 25 8 Germany 26 1 Czech Republic

16/20, but should have done better really as I count myself a Eurovision fan.....

@ TOP40 I've only just seen your message so excuse the late reply. I did indeed source all the producer credits from genome, as I freely admitted earlier in the thread (presenter credits were cross-referenced elsewhere on the net where possible). I was also fully aware of the limitations of the data (not reflecting holiday/sick cover or sudden changes of incumbent right away etc) and had made that point earlier in the thread, although admittedly I only made the point in reference to the presenter lists that were/are the focus of this thread, and perhaps in hindsight those warnings would have been worth repeating when I added the producer list as a bonus. I'd be very interested to learn more about your book.

I had no idea buzzjack was doing this, so I've already missed one streaming day. I'll try to remember to stream 10 times very day, I just hope the track is reasonably endurable as I've never heard of it. I probably won't buy though as my iTunes hasn't worked for months (holding about £30 to ransom in the process) and my amazon hasn't worked since they changed everything for streaming.

Surely it depends which copy of the track I click on as to which album (if any) my stream contributes to? If I choose the single/EP/remix release then it only benefits the single/track, if I happen to choose the same track but from the parent album it benefits both the single/track and the parent album, and if I select it from a GH album or a compilation it benefits the single/track and the GH or compilation as the case may be. So in a sense a parent album and a GH could both benefit from having the same popular track on it, in that some people will stream it from the parent album and some from the GH, but one single individual stream can surely only benefit whatever single or album release is is selected from at that moment by that user.

Isn't Dragostea Din Tei by a Romanian act (or possibly acts as I think there may have been two competing versions)? Pretty sure the lyrics are in Romanian anyway.
