Many of us have grown-up doing the Sunday evening ritual of ‘stop, start, record’ onto tape to capture favourite tracks in the charts from the radio, looking forward to Thursday’s Top of the Pops, & remembering to set the video player to record the Christmas Day show.
Whether it’s the big wait to see who’s No.1 of the ‘hit parade’, the Official Charts have been a central part of British popular culture for over 70 years. Things may have evolved over time, but it remains the UK’s only official, trusted weekly measure of what is popular in music right now.
Jo Gray recently met Matt side of stage at Victorious Festival. He works for the Official Charts & shares a little insight into his exciting job.
