My Favs Monthly Top 40 (January) by superiore93

by **xypwftugpyqcss** » Wed Oct 19, 2011 3:53 pm

This is my new chart and I will post it once a month. It's based on my favourite songs' popularity, quality, sales, airplay and Youtube views. This is my first one, waiting for every kind of comments, suggestions and questions !

(Based on Italian sales and airplay)

by **irishguy28** » Wed Oct 19, 2011 3:54 pm

Wow - now *that's* a user name!!!! Does it have a meaning (or how on earth can you remember what otherwise seems to be a totally random sequence?)

You say you'll post it monthly, but is it really a weekly chart? The graphic says "last week" and "Number of weeks".

And how exactly is it "based on Italian sales and airplay"? It looks like there are a lot of "recurrent" or old hits in there that presumably are not currently as active at Italian retail or radio as the chart would indicate (Cheryl Cole's Fight For This Love, Oasis' "Don't Look Back In Anger" for instance). Is it really just a genuine personal chart - with the acknowledgement that, being in Italy, you will be largely influenced by Italian sales and airplay?

Also, a column for artist might be more useful than having the "Number of weeks", change in position, points totals, etc. Is "The Flood" by Katie Melua, Take That, or (as seems most likely) Cheryl Cole?

Including chart runs in a chart table also seems a bit unusual - several weeks/months into this chart, the table is going to look completely messy when long strings of numbers are included for most of the entries on your chart!!!!

Finally, it's frowned on to "quote" an image so that it can be seen in its full width. You should choose an image size that naturally fits within the constrained width of the forums. (Getting rid of some extraneous columns, or just saving the image to be narrower, would avoid this).

I like the presentation. Please include a column for the artist. I don't know what Coming home is. Or are all the tracks originals or covers by Lady GaGa?

by **irishguy28** » Wed Oct 19, 2011 4:05 pm

Or, to continue with my criticism of Chart Runs from above, you could list the Chart Run for all songs that have fallen off the chart each time you post an update, as just normal text in a separate post.

Such as:

This week's drop-offs

Take That - The Flood : 11-08-02-01-01-01-02-01-01-01-01-02-03-04-05-04-02-03-07-11-13-16-18-20-20-19-27-38

This is my first error, while writing I confused weeks with months, I'll repair this from next chart :lol:

As I said this chart is compiled with my favourite songs so it's more probable to see months or years-old tracks on it than new ones.

For sales factor I use an estimated overall total for each song and for airplay I use an unofficial chart.

Thanks for suggestions, next month I'll try to get it better!

always @irishguy28

You're right for chart runs and quoting images. I'll try to correct the chart now so I can post it ASAP in a better way

P.S.: "The flood" is the one by Take That :lol:

Thank you @chun1702. The songs are only original tracks and Coming Home is by Diddy :lol:

By the way now I'll correct it and I'll insert Artists

Much better. And there can be done even more. If you can, save it as .gif or .png, not as .jpeg.

See the difference? The upper one is .jpeg :wink:

And back to topic, you have a nice Gaga-taste, one of my favorites is also Bad Romance, also love Dance In The Dark and Monster.
