Midweek Music Charts Going Public In March

The UK singles and albums charts are set to have their official midweek updates broadcast every Wednesday ahead of the weekly Sunday rundown.

Currently midweek sales figures are sent to members of the music industry – but from March 10 a midweek update will be broadcast on BBC Radio 1 from 3:30pm to 4pm.

The Official Chart Update will feature in a 30-minute slot in Greg James’s Radio 1 afternoon show, highlighting the biggest new entries and highest climbers in the top 40.

“The launch of this official chart update will mean that, for the first time, music fans will get a reliable insight into how the race for Number One is shaping up,” Martin Talbot of the Official Charts Company said.
