Kylie Minogue - Extension: The Extended Mixes (Dec 8)

It seems to me playlists shouldn’t be used for chart purposes if nameless person is choosing what to stick on it- they are creating this situation - and given it involves peoples careers how really can it be allowed without greater transparency. Its ripe for abuse in my opinion.

I don't think streaming playlists are too different from getting listed on radio stations. You basically have major record companies taking whoever owns those playlists to champagne lunches, just like with radio.

I agree it's not fair but that's capitalism.

Or record store stockists. If they didn't stock your song, tough luck.
I'm quite glad the old gatekeepers and hall monitors of the singles chart are either long gone, or largely ineffective now - Woolworths, MTV, NME, the Sun's Bizarre column, Cowell and ITV1, but also sad that they've been replaced by even more nebulous and invisible ones. Who even knows who's sitting with Spotify and promising them free trips for a high 40 in the New Music Friday position.

At least major labels chucking fifteen grand at Intermedia to plug their new singles at regional radio got me some snazzy second hand promo CDs turning up on eBay at the end of it.
 
I geiunaly did not get any sleep last night mostly because I couldn't stop Padaming.

So I doubled up on my Vyvasne and am now getting ready to start my day with the determined strut that can only be brought on by a homosexual caught in the rapture of a glorious new obsession with a glittery electro bop.
