Is Mozart Set to Break Into the UK Top 40 Music Chart as a Result of New Chart Rules
Oxford, UK (PRWeb) January 11, 2007 -- From the beginning of this year, any music download will count towards the Singles Chart, even if it is not available on the high street. This means that almost any track now has the potential to be a hit.
Max Capener, a 23-year old student from Oxford, has been quick to jump on the new changes. His campaign, branded the 'Top 40 Experiment', aims to generate enough buzz to propel a Classical piece of music into the Top 40 Chart.
"Like most things, it started over a conversation in the pub, but now it seems to have captured people's imagination," said Max. "Ultimately the Top 40 Experiment is just a bit of fun, but if the momentum continues, then perhaps we can create a little bit of chart history."
The classical piece itself is yet to be decided, and Max is urging readers to visit the website to cast their vote and find out more. If the campaign is successful, it could set a record for the oldest track ever to make the charts.
Some are citing the new rule change as a watershed for the music industry. "This new ruling changes the nature of a single and puts the consumer in the driving seat," said Steve Redmond, director of the UK Official Charts Company.
January and February are the two of the slowest months for Singles' sales, which definitely plays into the hands of the Top 40 Experiment.

Country Western Music Is For Everybody To Appreciate
I could without difficulty believe that everybody appreciates music to a certain extent. Everyone has their views. We begin forming likes and dislikes when we are very young. Several of our opinions are formed based on our own experiences and others we get based on what we hear from the people around us. Children readily pick up what the grown up close to them are stating. This is why most family members belong to the same political party and observe the same religion; it is what they grew up with. A lot of what we care comes from what we were exposed to as children. Later we find that we change our opinion on something that we have experienced for ourselves because the opinion was based on what we were taught rather than from our own exper...
