Beyonnaise Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 I hate Billboard but "the industry chart" concept seems fishy.

The UK chart (the OCC) was created / is owned by organizations representing the UK music industry. Billboard is a private company. The OCC in the UK decades ago replaced charts magazines like NME would put out.

They have a new one ? the UK charts are run by the Official Charts Company (OCC). the OCC is owned by the british phonography industry (think RIAA, but british) (aka BPI). because they're basically owned by the industry and not owned by a third party (in the US's case, it's the latter, as its owned by billboard), they make decisions that don't really reflect popularity an example of this is their recent infamous accelerated chart ratio rule. basically, any song charting that has seen a decrease in market performance for three consecutive weeks has its streaming ratio increased from 150:1 to 300:1. this causes songs to tumble fast. this is reminiscent of when common practise in the UK was to release songs to radio for months before putting it for sale in hopes of maximising sales. that's why so many damn songs went #1 in the UK until it slowed down in 2015. another example is that they also recently put in a new rule where one artist can chart a maximum four songs at once, with record labels being able to actually manually reset the count, which is pretty shady. one final example is that video streams don't even count on the chart they make these arguably bad decisions because record labels want all of their artists to have the honour of being #1 on the chart. this is the reason why people in this thread are wary of the industry actually making their own chart and forcing it into the forefront, because it arguably wouldn't be as accurate as a chart run by a third-party private entity, e.g. billboard.

The industry is now seriously considering making its own chart, as is done in the U.K., and getting out of business with you. Tick tock. = The music industry, out of its hatred for YT as a private company, may do what the UK did when they in the UK formed the OCC, and make a whole new chart (whatever it'd be called) ran by the industry itself, to takedown Billboard for legitimizing Youtube.
Suga&Grits Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Is any of it that serious just go back to music video countdowns
