That's not what I meant. Record companies want us to believe what the hits will be from an album. For example on i-Tunes you can see that the music consumer decides if a track is a hit (succes) or not. For me as a radio man (who still loves that medium) the influence of a record company is declining. And that's a good development I guess. This year Peter Gabriel's 'The Book Of Love' made it up to the 17e stage in the EURO 200 almost entirely through the album 'Scratch My back'. The record company didn't release this single (again), but due to a small number of downloads and the album it could be a hit. :rolleyes:

Hi Ash, To be complete; the German National Top-50 isn't based on sales only, but includes also download-sales, airplay and additional album-sales. Acoording to Sony 'waka waka' is the best sold record in germany. There you mention a very important reason to use other sources than record companies. As a musicplanner for a Dutch radiostation I learned to deal with the "colored" information from recordcompanies. They have other interests. Their songs must be the popular ones. I also have to deal with listeners, which are the music consumers. Through downloads and album sales they determine an important part of the popularity of a individual track. Record-companies are not always glad with this influences. The airplay contributes to a collective experience of the track. If you combine this data then you have a more reliable reflection of peoples music preferences. That's a point of view I guess, which is shared by a lot of collegues.

Okay, have a nice day and best wishes from the Netherlands.

I don't think you get my point of view. It's nice to know how much copies a record sold, but it's an indication for the popularity of it, nothing more or less. To measure the popularity sales are not enough I mean. By the way Eminem & Rihanna were the #1 in the Year-end-chart from APC-stats too when they counted this week in their chart. Look at the new British National Top-50. :rolleyes: My example again: There are 2 records: one of them sells 40.000 copies in 2 weeks and the other one sells 40.000 in 30 weeks; which record is the most popular you think?

And there are 84.4 million Germans who didn't buy the record.................................! :lol: A lot of them liked it anyway I guess.................... :rolleyes:

The system is wrong (in your eyes) when you compare the results of these charts with sales charts only. For example in the Netherlands: When a song sold 40.000 copies it's the #1 song of the year measured on sales. It doesn't matter if the songs were played on radio- or TV. I guess "Lordi's - Hardrock Hallelujah" is a perfect example of it. These APC-charts are compiled on a wider level. In measuring the popularity of a song, the importance of sales is decreasing. When you use only sales for the EU-chart then perhabs the first 25 tracks in the Britsh top-40 are also the first 25 tracks in the EU-chart. I guess that doesn't fit too. For example this question: There are 2 songs in a year-en-chart: one has sold 40.000 copies in 2 weeks en the other sold 40.000 copies in 30 weeks. Which of both songs is popular you think? The point system is not a very strong one, I agree with you. I saw that they added another system in 2009. The songs total score has also been counted. It gives a complete other picture as you can see. I only want to say 'that charts only based on sales don't give the music-consumer or radio-programmer enough information about popularity. Have a happy new year and nice discussions too!

@ ashdeluxe: I guess you're system is a holy one? Everything can be discussed if you like. The system combines sales, downloads, airplay and albumsales. If you don't like it.........leave it. "Don't worry...be happy". It's the system of the future I guess, and that's my opinion. :yahoo:
