A better chart every week, this time, a top 60

After finding out how inaccurate my chart was last week, i have worked on a better chart, and now, here it is !


This week i have compiled the first 60 songs, i also compared my charts to other charts and i can confidentially say that i truly believe my chart is the most accurate


I really put great effort to say the word accurate, yet i assure you there is no accurate chart, if you are turning to sales, well... many people get there music from other places, From the internet, People with common characteristics connect to the internet for music biasing the sample again, Radio play, same goes for that (people who call), so i guess we will have to do with approximation....


so what i did was, i spent the day rovering many many music sites looking for there popular searches, then comparing there traffic and assigning weight to each website, i checked other charts and made sure my charts sound sensible, i took statistical measures, and finally, i came up with this. Now that i know where to go on the internet for charts, i am thinking about starting my own charts website ! Leave a comment on that and tell me what you think about the idea.



Also, rather than what's hot, lets see who is hot, the names, and the number of times they appear on the top 60 with either there songs, or they have been featured.


SANTANA - 3 times

NELLY - 2 times
ROBBIE WILLIAMS - 2 times

BUSTA RHYMES - 2 times

PUSSYCAT DOLLS - 2 times


Before we get there, some songs are not yet on the top of the charts, but they are shaking and climbing, you can't help notice them, the songs are


SUGABABES UGLY from the album TALLER IN MORE WAYS (2005) giving the suga's a second entry in the chart.

BACKSTREET BOYS CRAWLING BACK TO YOU from the album NEVER GONE (2005)

DEPECHE MODE A PAIN THAT I'M USED TO from the album PLAYING THE ANGEL (2005)


there are more big shakers, but they climb slower, the three above are climbing fast enough to be in a very respectable position next chart.


Enough already, lets get to the charts
