Hmm, the change of date has wrecked the chart runs. Every album is on a current run of 2 weeks if you expand them. Can OCC fix this?

Because the data Official Charts are willing to release without a fee is unscrupulously limited.....another things which just strengthens Itunes monopoly. Wake up music industry, you've bee ballsing it up for 20 years now...................
