Absolutely! And here is a recording of a BBC World Service edition of "The Vintage Chart Show", that Jimmy presented there from March 1987 - November 1989. Of course previous too this, his "Old Record Club" on Radio One, attracted over 12million listeners each week, between January 85 & September 1987. Jimmy, the very first person in Britain to run a Retro chart type show. Which he first introduced on Radio One in October 1973. http://www.mediafire.com/?3vm272o679u3b4o

He tells me, that as of last Sunday, they were a little under 75,000 & come this Sunday they will be nudging the 100,000 mark. The chart run would have been (18th Sept 15, 24, 22, 21, 24, & so far 13 this week)...Top 10 enevitable next week & an Official inclusion too, & the big sales of "Mylo Xyloto", as well. Don't forget to join Mike Robinson & Jason Scott for the evergrowing band of followers to "The Fresh Hit40" countdown, & the "Ones To Watch" across internet stations & many FM RSLs growing in & around the UK & Europe every Sunday.

It's a combo. iTunes is in, plus a surmised average figure for other sites (when added together) from an average 5 year period in week 42.

I wonder how the physicals will be be for The Wanted during the rest of the week? If they are thousands, then like you say, they will beat Rihanna for some days certainly.

Well Bre, mate...I don't think the singles chart has much relevance today anyway. What have we got? X Factor dominated re-entries & re-climbing week after week. Hyped up other songs by singers that rely on "fornication" to sale their stuff... I was talking to one of the DJs at the BBC, the other day & they basically agreed. They said the official chart has lost all credibility. Youngsters can't keep on track with the latest #1 because it changes nearly every week & the Radio One Top 40 hasn't got more than a million listeners. 25 years back it got 14 million listeners from the age of 11 to 50 every Sunday. You've got Independant Radio, with an even more dodgy chart than ever, that gets nearly 3 times the amount that Radio One does. And that was from the mouth of a 23 year old. You may find it hard to believe, but across Europe, the chart that Mike Robinson does for Jason Scott on the net, has now got a bigger weekly audience than R1. Which does actually tell me that our DJ friend is right. Anyway there are other chart companies, apart from OCC. OCC are just the oversight for Milward Brown & the BBC (who actually do their research for them). Like I said "we don't claim it to be "Official". If you wanted total guesswork, then you should of heard the Radio Luxembourg chart in the 70s & 80s...Now, that really was made up. Our's is based on mathematical ethics, average positions from download sites & actually uses some proper sales figures, abeit those from iTunes. So it ain't total guesswork. If it was then, it wouldn't be that close to Official mids etc. In any case how can you go to Hell & die...If you,ve gone to Hell, then you must already be dead. Don't get that quote.

Face it...Radio One is crap! You pay your licence, for ego & idiots. End of story. Try asking them, why a song that has featured at #1 on iTunes for 3 complete weeks (though not together) isn't playlisted or try asking them, why Coldplay's "Paradise" is not allowed in the Official chart. They can't answer either question. I know, I've asked both.

The Monday Chart is based on an average of positions from 4 major download sites, & average monday sales from the last 5 years plus a quotation of physical sales. It does not claim to be "Official", though may be close & does include every single download song, without giving a "false" impression by not including tracks i.e. Coldplay is not included by the Official Charts Company, although it has actually sold some 45,000 copies in 3 weeks. It's not pure guesswork, as this non chalant below says because it does actually entail a lot of adding up, & besides we do have some 40 years of working in the record business & market research in & around the music industry. Trouble is some take the word "Official" as it says. If a chart is so "Official" then every song downloaded & paid for, would be included in the chart. Obviously it can't be so "Official", because it doesn't include every paid for download rendering the whole thing a farce. Try asking Radio One, why Coldplay are not in the "Official" chart...they can't answer it. I know, i've even done it.

Maybe they were fans of The Sound Of Music...As Reach For The Stars goes "I Reach For The Stars, as reach I for your heart" or something. Then "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" is like "Climb Ev'ry Mountain, Walk ev'ry hillside". Two of the most awfully mind numbing songs you'd ever hear anyway....Some charts say it made #1, but it didn't really.

Eric, Reach For The Stars was the proper A side of this Shirley Bassey Record, & Climb Ev'ry Mountain was the other side...in other words they are 2 different songs, as it was a Double A sided record, hence the / bit. And of course it was featured in the Sound Of Music later on. No connected with S Club 7.

I think Mike means the Fresh Hit 40. The chart that's always ahead of the game.
