We run it back, just as much disoriented commentary on the hits or thereabouts of the year before, a lot more struggling to steer around corners. Same rough time, same channel etc.

I don't want to give anything to them, but I can't help but be fascinated. Imagine someone giving this the tick of approval to post it and be seen by tens of thousands of people (maybe more)

Don't know why this came to me

End of an era: The 18 month recurrency rule comes for the Eagles Greatest Hits compilation that's been enjoying free advertising space on the Kiwi charts since early last year

This is the 9th time she's done this but the 'umm, album tracks in Singles???' brigade are out in full force. Wait until they find out that Brisbane & Gold Coast are in the Victorian Football League, or AZ & IL both won Eurovision last decade

How to avoid discourse: Listen to artists who achieved Platinum success 20 years ago just in Australia

Great night, though. There's a young teenage me who'd never believe the opportunity would arrive. 2006 was a life changing year.

Like I'm looking at this week's ARIA Chart and the fact that sombr's singles didn't even move the needle on album release week means that very few people care about the album, and thus it'll hold the best out of this pack, might even climb next week!

Been getting these Warner pressers since the start of the decade, the GPT slop pandemic has hit them too

Hoping to manifest some magical video game/music chart trivia next week

ARIA really missed a trick by not announcing the new chart rules like this

I ♥ Australian music
(I will not spoil my blog however)

Yesterday on Bandle, the music clip guessing game they used Amy Macdonald's "This Is The Life", a song that was massive in mainland Europe but nowhere else. I tracked the guess rate through the day that re-affirms this (getting it in 6 is tantamount to not knowing the song)

There's a sentiment that Christmas playlists are shifting the default order of Christmas hits (esp. Wham! vs. Mariah), so I looked at the Spotify numbers of the biggest Christmas songs and how well they do...in April. A surprise result!

I broke my world record again last week

The last Chaeri unlocked.

I'm too zonked out to write much about it at present, but the finish line is here

The numbers are all there to spell it out, but if you're just quickly looking at Spotify, you might be tricked into thinking it must be popular off the back of one song, and who's to say that won't eventually translate to more people listening to the album?

The most peculiar bit of reality blurring in "Better Man" is when they're listening to the radio announcing that "Never Ever" by All Saints has debuted at #1. In an era when nearly every #1 hit debuted there, they picked the one song that took months to get there!

Need someone to make a clickbait article/video about 'THE BIGGEST THING PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT MUSIC CHARTS', and it's the prevalent 'didn't chart high in country x' = 'did nothing in country x'. This image is just the tip of the iceberg

Getting real close now

At this point it's mandatory to post every time I get another 10 cherries. Fret not, at most 2 more of these images in my feed to go...probably.
February 5, 2025 at 7:19 PM
Just another UFO 50 update to say we're up to 20 cherries.
January 27, 2025 at 4:01 PM
10 down!

Humble beginnings.
