TWO NEW
NUMBER 1s ON THE HOTDISC CHART
Barry Kirwan's cover of the Vince
Gill hit "Whenever You Come Around"
is no longer at the top of the Hotdisc chart
after 5 weeks as it drops to 3, and
it means that Heidi Raye grabs the
top position after leaping from 4
last week with "Worth A Shot" to
give her her first number 1 with her
first single on Hotdisc.
The
Diablos shuffle up to 2 which means
they also land their seventh number
1 single in the British & Irish Top
10 with "East Coast Run" which will
be featured in the upcoming movie,
"The Beast."
The Hotdisc Top 20 TV
Programme is on
Sky TV Channel 389 where
people can watch the programmes
every Sunday
afternoon at 2pm, Thursdays at 4pm and
on Saturday mornings at 1am. This means the show hits
different audiences, as well as
being available to record on Sky
Set-Top Boxes and of course being
available online in HD. The
programme is also on FreeSat Channel
516 and FreeView Channel 87. It's
all part of the 24 hour country
music channel, "Keep It Country."

The Hotdisc charts are compiled from DJs and industry professionals' ratings
of songs currently being promoted on the Rush Released CD. They are not airplay charts, as airplay charts cannot
work in Europe as there are no terrestrial country stations in this area. The hundreds of country shows are likely
to play a particular song only twice at most in a three month period, therefore rendering airplay charts insignificant
in Europe. It works well in America where there are plenty of non-stop country stations but it cannot work here.
The Hotdisc charts are therefore put together weekly using ratings supplied
by DJs who give scores to every song on the last three months' editions of Rush Released. The scores are totalled
up and averaged out per week to give an accurate guide to the songs which are being championed by the industry.
The aim is to showcase the songs which the DJs and media people are pinpointing as top quality songs, which is
a very useful exercise, particularly to all our clients and DJs as it is free of politics, hype and rigging and
done on merit!
