I get my physicals from PLAY.COM as well - easily the best and quickest way to shop.
I get my downloads from 7 Digital . com because they are a UK company. I will never buy anything from I TUNES. |

I can't remember the last time I bought a newly released CD from Woolworths. Normally I get mine from Play.com because of the low prices and free postage. I do miss the old independent record shops. |

The week in which Woolies stopped selling any cd singles that was not in the top 30 was a very significant and dark day for music as a whole and is very under rated in this respect.
An incredible catch 22 was created of, how does one get into Woolies without being in a chart? |

I gather - yet to be confirmed - that Cliff did an exclusive deal with Woolies who haven't sold CD singles for ages and they sold 100% of the physicals. Details within days... |

The charts mean near nothing in this day and age. Certainly not what they did years ago, as Billboard and Music Week become even more irrelevant. Billboard has been on a downward spin since Tim White died, almost completely devoid of editorial integrity from my point of view, run by people that knew less and were less connected than many on this board.
A music #1 is as irrelevant as a movie #1, next week they'll both be different. Remember when the Godfather was #1 for like a year, or any great album that topped the charts for 3 or 4 months or more.
No more JK. The more hype the shorter the life. Little great music getting through. We need filters to get rid of the white noise, or how is a real tree falling in the woods going to make any noise.
As an industry we are not there yet |
