Charts & Sales -Do You Follow Them?

[Wayne]

I'll admit wholeheartedly that the main reason for me starting a forum in the first place was somewhere to publish my work - I'm an AVID charts/sales follower (some say expert

), and spent some years building up a sales database for the biggest-selling acts in the world (around 150-175, and counting), and I follow the charts each week.



This is like a confessional; anybody else follow charts/sales?! lol

No I don't, I used to when I was a teenager but not now. Although I did buy Killing In The Name, and listened to the official charts on the radio that Sunday for the first time in yeaaarrrs

No. I just follow by how well it sounds.

Well at least I know who to ask if I want to know the name of a song I've heard on the radio

Radio? What is that?

 

[Wayne]

LOL. Well radio plays a HUGE part in the US Singles Chart (it actually makes up 45% of an acts chart position). The US singles chart is based on points

Just thought I'd say lol!
