[TheMysteriousMan]

He has a thread on pulsemusic.proboards.com
https://pulsemusic.proboards.com/thr...s-sales-thread

maybe someone who has an account asks the members there?

[brianc33710]

He s not checking his mails for weeks and has not even been able to post a message here despite many people worrying about him, so I don't think he s well at all, sadly.

I messaged him & haven't heard back either. I'm praying too.

[brianc33710]

OK from what I read the person in question died 23 May. Oldbloke last posted on here 28 May. So whomever died that was mentioned on the other site wasn't oldbloke.

He wasn't an active user at Pulse. He quietly updated that thread when he could.

I sent him a message on Pulse, but I have not heard back.

I feel bad. oldbloke would love these mid-year stats.

[SmittyRoc70]

I've been holding off for quite some time thinking maybe Mr. oldbloke was on vacation or just needed some time for himself. But now for the first time, I'm having a bad feeling about this as well. This is deeper than any hit singles or which album sold the most on the charts.

[WolfSpear]

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you there. I noticed his account was in 'deleted' status over on Pulse, so that may be a sign that someone has been informed of something. It really saddens me to think it's true, but his lack of presence is very unusual. All I can say is hopefully we can gain more insight. After all, I and many of us here have greatly appreciated his dedication and love for music and the charts. I'm sure I'll find myself reading through his YTD threads, the same way I do with Hanboo's "Chart Histories"... but it wouldn't be the same.

[braindeadpj]

Did anyone know who oldbloke was? Probably a crazy idea but what if he was Joel Whitburn? We all know he passed away on Tuesday 14th June and had been battling illness recently - "He had been having some serious health issues recently, but his passing still comes as a shock". Oldbloke's last post (on this thread anyway) was May 28th.

[iHypeMusic]

I also have a bad feeling, I just want to take the time to say how grateful I am for the years he was able to given us all this information he collected.

I had the same thought.
i still think it was him.

[arab]

It makes sense tbh. JW was a chart guru so is oldbloke. JW was 82, so nickname oldbloke may be some indicator. Anyway, still hope it's not true and he is/will be fine...

[iHypeMusic]

In oldbloke's absence I wanted to at least try to keep the 2022 YTD thread going in his memory. I've been keeping track of my own estimations for Billboard 200 Year-End, and I'll try to post YTD estimations sometime.

iHypeMusic thank you so much for trying to keep us updated on the charts.

Did anyone know who oldbloke was? Probably a crazy idea but what if he was Joel Whitburn? We all know he passed away on Tuesday 14th June and had been battling illness recently - "He had been having some serious health issues recently, but his passing still comes as a shock". Oldbloke's last post (on this thread anyway) was May 28th.

Oldbloke's location on his profile at ukmix is listed as Loughborough, England. While locations don't always mean anything, it seems a bit random for someone from another country to choose a location which isn't particularly well known, even to many people within England.

Looking at his Pulse profile (for melody56, his username on those boards) he says in his early posts, back in 2008, that he is from England. His early posts were also of the UK, not US, charts and include a post that was copied from long-defunct UK music board CHC Media (the board that splintered off into BuzzJack in March 2007 and then closed down later that year). I'm assuming he was also a poster there.

One of his early posts at Pulse reads:

I live in England, and started buying the UK music papers in the mid-70's, and began collecting the charts they printed. These also included the "USA" charts, some were Billboard, others Cashbox. They were never the complete chart, just the top 30. 40 or 50. In the 80's, PC's and spreadsheets arrived, and I began my computerized collection of music charts. Eversince, I have been gradually building up this collection.

I wonder if the 56 part of his username at Pulse is a reference to the year he was born? It would possibly tie in with him starting to buy music papers in the mid 1970s as he would have been around 19/20.
