We are proud to announce that will are launching our very own Official Chart Jukebox!

The Official Charts Company have partnered with Soundnet / Sound Leisure and Gamestec to launch the Official Charts-branded jukeboxes, which are set to be installed in 250 venues across the UK over the next 12 months.

The contract – the biggest of its kind in recent history - was announced at a press event at London’s O2 this afternoon (Tuesday, January 21).

The Official Chart Jukebox will be updated with the weekly Official Singles Chart Top 40, as well as the all the tracks from the Official Albums Chart, and will feature exclusive music news and artist content from OfficialCharts.com.

The history of the humble jukebox and the charts are inextricably linked; the invention of Justus P. Seeburg’s Selectophone in 1928, which featured ten records, provided the blueprint for what has become the Top 10. As machines became more sophisticated in the 1940s and 1950s, their capacity increased to hold 40 records, which lead to the advent of the Top 40 we all know and love today.

“The Official Charts Company first partnered with Soundnet in 2006, and since that time our business together has grown steadily,” comments Giles Jones, head of commercial for the Official Charts Company. "In 2013 Soundnet doubled the presence of the Official Singles Chart within its estate to 12,500 jukeboxes, covering 65% of the UK market. We’re thrilled to further build upon this key partnership and add the Official Albums Chart to Soundnet’s jukebox estate, and also work with Gamestec to exclusively launch the Official Charts Jukebox.”
