Why?
If you go to www.dotmusic.co.uk and then to the charts page you can look at other countries charts.
Why is it that Britain is the only one where singles chart at their highest position and then fall and fall and fall. In these other countries about half of the top ten had moved UP the chart. Is our entire chart based on HYPE? |

There shouldn't be 3 or 4 months between a single getting general airplay etc for the first time to its release date. This leads to most people who want it buying it on the week of release and very few after, thus the immediate tumble down the charts.
If a single was released say 2 weeks after getting its first airplay many people would still be hearing it for the first time after its released and the spread of people buying it would be over a number of weeks allowing for potential growth in sales week by week. |

Do you know who's fault it is? Paul Weller's.
It was the Jam that started all the releasing the records to the media weeks before just so that they could say they'd gone straight in at number one. |
