I have produced the number ten new entry!

That song's growing on me. It's also good to see Whiter Shade in there. I wonder if it's been re-issued after the recent publicity. I saw Procol Harum on BBC4 last night. That Julie Stanciu might have nicked a guita part from T-Rex but I love her song too.

Congrats on number 10.

Whats great about the Fab chart is how far I have already been able to circulate the track via this format.
Mr Harding rang me thirty minutes ago in tears about actually being listened to.
And the other British eccentric lovers amongst you, will be delighted to know that we have sent cd`s to as many British Legion clubs as we can find, and the song adored by young and old!

But it's against When Christmas Trees Were Tall. Seems a Christmas theme is upon us.

Prefer yours Martin. We'll see next week, shame there's no Fab Chart middies

I do like the Fab Chart, it's a good selection. Don't like all the songs but I see why they're included. Proto new-music business model on the web emerging?

Congrats to Martin and Rob.

Great!

Good to hear Rob is enjoying it

Just to show how important any chart position is, and this is the board that cares about them a lot,"Pope" has just got it`s first enquiry from a Californian DJ, for use in his show.
I could bet, I could have personally spammed him with Myspace links etc, and got nowhere.
Stick a chart position, however obscure, in front of a song, and a few more ears prick up.
Californian eccentric DJ+Quaint English Gentleman with chart position = airplay it would seem.

Excellent news Martin. Good for Rob. It is great that he's getting listened to, no wonder he's a bit overwhelmed.

Are there any more like Fab Charts? By like I mean it seems to be a quality selection and diverse. Others seem to be less well considered.

Whoever is doing it is doing a good job.

I hope that in the same way a few bloggers have established themselves without (despite of?) the main media that a site like the Fab Chart gets well deserved attention - and I hope that attention won't swamp it and make it impossible to continue.

There are bound to be imitators trying to copy the Fab Chart but like most things on the t'internet trying to follow/copy/imitate after the event doesn't work.

oooppps.. gone a bit(?) off topic here ... once more congrats to to you Martin and to Rob. Rock n Roll!

I thought the FAB Chart site had disappeared when I looked in today. I was confronted by a blank page and had to scroll down to see the usual display. Now I find that it's the same on all Tripod web sites, so hopefully it's something they'll sort out soon.

Problem with tripod sites only seems to be via my AOL connection. Still strange that it's only tripod though. Other sites work fine.

Nat West online banking doesnt like Aol either, you have to use Explorer for that too.

Well done Martin and nice one!

There must be lots of charts now - and which ones will rise to the top will be interesting ...

The Dastards are topping the charts in this obscure German music & chart site www.SoundSuche.com (in more than one category) and I have no idea why or how ... or even how the tracks got on there!

Nice site but I have to register to hear the music - which I'm not going to.

It's like online shops that won't tell me the postage without giving my details, bad move. People don't like doing it and they'll take their custom elsewhere.

Cheers for posting the link anyway.

PS Martin... Firefox www.mozilla.com I use Natwest and it's fine. Lots of reasons not to use IE7.

Cheers Zoo, I must say I have another reason for not banking at the "trendy wine bar" as well.( answers by personal e-mail only)
And re; online shops, my doctor and you lot will despair at this, and yet maybe not, I risked buying very cheap imported cigarettes online, and they arrived.
The good news, they are here and I was wasnt ripped off.
The further good news? They are absolutely disgusting , rough as hell, and I am giving up.
Apologies to Big End, ignore my previous tip by e-mail.
Advice to all addictive smokers, don`t buy the patches or chewing gum, buy cheap cigarettes, they are horrible, and will achieve in the final goal.
I do have nicotine withdrawel today, but a 5th one of these I think would put me in bed for a further week!
