It's been broadcasting for about five months now according to a Tweet today so sounds like it's coming up to the end of the third cycle; apparently it takes 50 days to play all 15000 hits.

The first one that came to mind was The Prodigy's album 'Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned' which was released the week before lead single 'Girls' got its full release - you could argue a very limited edition of 'Girls / Memphis Bells' had been released earlier. I do recall The White Stripes album 'Elephant' was released before lead single 'Seven Nation Army'. (Previous album 'White Blood Cells' charted well ahead of the release of its lead single 'Hotel Yorba'.)

*Warren G - 'Prince Igor' on Now 39 has a fair bit, despite being the 'Radio Edit' from the single (same on the music video). *Tasmin Archer- In Your Care (Now 24) ('son of a ...!') depending on perhaps context or what you think of the word, I suppose, although performed on TOTP on radio as per.. in turn, the Meredith Brooks song on Now 38..

Pinkees – Danger Games – 1982 This is back on Spotify :)

I was pleased to see I had charted "Rocking Music" with a peak of No.17 in May 2004. Nothing else unfortunately, but I can just about remember "Everybody" when it was out.

Keep a backup of all your .M4A, .M4P, .M4V files rather than rely on the iTunes cloud.. I can still play the purchases from 'back in the day' that dropped off the iTunes catalogue. ("Everybody" by Brown Eyed Girls feat. Bog Tone being one of them!) I have yet to upgrade my old Windows XP machine so that I can continue to play my OD2/Napster/Tesco legal purchases from 2003-2005.. even though I burnt most of them onto CD, I will hold onto those licenses as long as possible.

11 months - yes, it was a monthly chart. #26 -May 98- 'Someone' : SWV 27-43-46-40-26-27-34-35-36-44-41 8 months #22 -May 05- 'Emily Kane' : Art Brut 22-24-25-26-30-32-44-46 [hm..] 7 months #24 -Jan 99- 'Enjoy Yourself' : A+ 44-24-42-32-38-32-48 #26 -Apr 00- 'Private Emotion' : Ricky Martin 26-31-45-36-45-35-48 #25 -Nov 00- 'Time To Burn' : Storm 31-37-27-25-48-41-41 #33 -Apr 01- 'Don't Panic' : Coldplay 43-36-33-36-50-34-45 #29 -Jan 03- 'Luv U Better' : LL Cool J 32-43-33-32-29-31-46 #22 -Feb 05- 'Banquet' : Bloc Party 50-22(Re)-26-31-50-31-43(Re)

I did chart 'Wisemen' (peaked at #3) at the time and then in June 2006 'You're Beautiful' managed to scrape in at #37.

Back when I had a chart, Jul 2008 'Paris Is Burning' peaked at #5 Sep 2008 'Dusk Till Dawn' peaked at #6 Nov 2008 'My Delirium' peaked at #5.

Just searched my archives, 'Lucky Star' (with Basement Jaxx) in December 2003, reaching #26; 'Off 2 Work' in March 2005, reaching #41. (Hadn't heard that in years, so just rediscovered it on YouTube)

Art Brut's top 75 chart career consists of four one-week hits (between 2004 and 2005) but that was a good find with Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, and they just beat That Petrol Emotion's most hits without going top 40.

I was wondering how people stored their charts as I have just taken my text files and (after some reformatting) imported them into a database I can search.

Back when I did a chart, it was monthly May 2008 L.E.S. Artistes #3 [19-5-4-4-{3}-4-14-44] Nov 2008 Say Aha #32

Thanks to the handy searchable web database I just set up.. March 1998 #13 Show Me Love May 2007 #4 With Every Heartbeat April 2008 #26 Who's That Girl?

I love "Let's Go Surfing" but I had stopped doing my chart before it was released.

When those tribute songs went top 40, did Reggie (or whoever presented) play those versions or the actual song? I wasn't listening during those weeks :)
