Readers of the "Chart Analysis" forum may know that one of my main projects there in the last few years has been the "Europarade" - a "chart of the charts" top forty which combines the top fifteen hits of eleven Western European countries. In recent months I have been compiling these weekly charts for the period since the beginning of 2004, using the same approach that was originally applied a few decades ago. But this week, I caught right up with the present - so, instead of compiling maybe as many as twenty of these charts in a week, from now on I'll just be doing one!
So I thought I would also like to do something similar for the Personal Charts forum - bringing together the most recently-posted charts of all of the regular contributors (whether daily, weekly, monthly or whatever) into a single combined weekly chart. As far as I can tell, nothing quite like this has been previously attempted - although a while ago there were threads into which posters copied the top end of their own charts, and these (these ones only!) were amalgamated into a single chart. However, this new thread will not require that kind of input (although comments will be very welcome!) - instead, I will just collate together all the necessary data from everyone's individual threads, every Sunday.
But there are considerably more than eleven people who post their own charts here (how many do you reckon?! The answer is coming up at the end of this introduction.......) Therefore, to keep the workload manageable, I'm basing this combined chart only on everybody's most up-to-date personal top five. Each number one will score five points, each number two scores four points, each number three gets three points, each number four gets two points and each number five has one point. The combined points totals are used to produce the chart - with hits with the same points total ranked alphabetically by title. No tracks will ever be excluded - for as long as anybody is charting them, they will still score points! - although if anyone has not updated their own chart for six weeks or more, they will drop out until a new one is posted. And I am expanding the chart to sixty positions, in the hope that this will at least enable everybody's number one to reach the bottom end - even if no-one else has it in their top five.
So that's the plan - I hope forum members will find the results interesting. And here comes the first "UKmixParade", based on the fifty-six current personal singles charts posted here in the last few weeks......
