Chart Company revamp website
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 29 April 2010
The most official of chart companies, The Official Charts Company, has launched a lovely new website full of chart-related nonsense.
So, the charts themselves (slightly confusingly dated by the end rather than the start of the chart week), download sell-through via 7Digital and TuneTribe, videos courtesy of MUZU, and ticket offers for the British Music Experience. There’s also a stack of chart trivia, including past chart data for hundreds and hundreds of artists, which is how I know Black Duck’s one song ‘Whiggle In Line’ peaked at 33 in December 1994.
Launching the new webby site, OCC MD Martin Talbot told CMU: “As the home of the UK’s Official Charts, it was important that our new site was as advanced as the charts now are – it is designed to be the ultimate destination site for anyone looking to find out what is happening in music right now, as well giving the option to delve into five decades of British music history. Even before the launch of our new site, music and chart fans descended on our old website in their millions every year. But now we have added so much new functionality, we expect to see even more of them turning up – and staying for longer”.
