No idea - but I did used to compare the chart positions every week between the sales-only chart (on Radio 1) and the sales/airplay chart (on 'independent radio':D as it used to be called). And found that whatever was higher on sales but lower on airplay I always liked more, whatever was about the same position was a song I thought was okay but not as good and whatever was lower on sales but higher on airplay was disliked by me in virtual absolute proportion to the difference in positions. They used to have Top 10 pure sales on both. Position number 11 in the airplay chart, that had in fact fallen way down to 20-odd or 30-odd on sales only, was always my most disliked song. Whereas if something had gone Top 10, but just fallen out (on sales), it always went way down the sales/airplay chart if it was a song I liked. I promise you this was done, by me, my tastes - you either like something or not and how much etc. - in advance of the positions even materialising.

I think it's why I really dislike it now - it's very scientific, again we (or more to the point, I:D) talk about marketing and consumer psychology and scientific analyses of consumer behaviour and how most people shop - which the stores do know and they do, very scientifically, determine how they price and promote etc. - as well as positioning in the store (which I've mentioned before, e.g. £1 r'backs on aisle ends) - I dislike it now because, slowly over time, it had the effect of transforming everything into something the total opposite of my taste, in order to get radio play, they must conform to a particular type of sound, producers who do not will find their music not played and therefore they have to change to do that and to get sales (albeit that some of my songs were getting sales without airplay, but that was just because they were 'club' records that DJs bought). Apparently not conforming to current trends and not following 'the sheep' is also an Aspergery trait.

Anyway, I'm a free spirit and who cares about chart positions now? I could not even physically listen to what is in the charts, whatever they are, as it is too thoroughly unbearable to me. Unlistenable.

And it does all sound the same. And the variation in the timbre pallet has reduced demonstrably:rotfl:.

It all sounds the same - more 'modern' stuff - and here's the scientific evidence:

The old songs are the best anyway
