DISCUSSION FORUM
Forum - Personal Charts: Your Special Occasion Charts - PMC's Novelty Countdowns (incl. Broadcasts)

Hi guys. As promised after the conclusion on my EOY for 2015, I vowed to make regular broadcasts. Well that time has come now, I have completed the first broadcast for 2016 and it's ready to be heard!

This is the thread where I'll post the countdowns each time I do one. You'll find the info you need on this thread basically.

I'm happy to announce that the first Countdown will be:
"The Top 50 songs with colours in the title"

These countdowns are of personal taste, so no stats or anything to go off of, just purely my personal 50 favourites. The broadcast will be on next Saturday the 19th of March from 7:30 pm. SO make sure you join in the fun!

I've composed some Chartifacts that may give some hints to savvy people who may pick up on them... And feel free to post anything you may think of after reading the Chartifacts. Because we all know I can be fairly obvious with hints at times , anyway:

"Top 50 songs with colours in the title" Chartifacts:
1. 13 songs with 'Black' in the title, including 1 as 'Blackout'
2. 13 songs with 'Gold' in the title, including 3 as 'Golden'
3. 7 songs with 'Red' in the title
4. 5 songs with 'Blue' in the title
5. 3 songs with 'Purple' in the title
6. 3 songs with 'Rose' in the title, including 1 as 'Roses'
7. 3 songs with 'White' in the title
8. 3 songs with 'Yellow' in the title
9. 1 song with 'Crystal' in the title
10. 1 song with 'Hazel' in the title
11. 1 song with 'Lime' in the title
12. 1 song with 'Silver' in the title
13. There are 3 songs with two colours in the title, and 1 song with three colours in the title
14. There is only one female act in the top 6, at #6
15. The top 3 artist's first letter begin with 'M'
16. The oldest song in the 50 is from 1974
17. The most recent song in the 50 is from 2015
18. There is a recent Eurovision song in the 50
19. There is a cover of a song, and it's original, that both feature in the 50
20. There are only 3 ARIA #1's amongst the 50, one from the 80's, one from the 90's and one from the 00's
21. There are only 6 Australian acts in the 50
22. The shortest song clocks in at 2:17
23. The longest song clocks in at 5:13

Cheers guys
I hope you can tune in!
Ooh, just based on some of the colour selections I can tell there are things I've never heard of!

Also glad you've picked that date as I was planning on doing my next EOY on the Friday just before, just haven't locked it in because I'm still putting it together
This could be interesting. I hope that one of the songs with Yellow in the title is what I think it is.
What do you think it is LIFTER?
*Insert favourite band here*
Aaaaaah yes. All will be revealed
Count me in as always PMC. Wouldn't dream of missing it,also it sounds a lot of fun.
Just a reminder that this is on tonight! As always, I'll be broadcasting a little earlier so feel free to join from about 7:00 as I play some new songs I'm liking (and Post show too!). The countdown will begin at about 8... Should be awesome and I hope you can join in the fun!
I'm guessing the Eurovision song is the one with Golden in the title
Pre-show stream is up! Less than an hour to go!

Can we get the top 5 posted PMC. I know you're probably recovering from your ABC party (don't ask,folks!). Also if a bottom fifty exists can we get that too? Thank Yew
Top 5 updated! I actually forgot all about not doing the last 5 songs lol.

And yes, I'm actually still recovering. It was a massive night Jesse lol. Hectic!

A bottom 50 doesn't exist... I only had a shortlist of about 75-80 if I can remember... But I deleted them and only kept the 50 so that info is long gone sorry

Time for the second novelty countdown! And this time, it's "The Top 50 songs with questions in the title".

This will be broadcast from 8:00 pm this Saturday night (23rd of April). Tune in a bit earlier to hear the pre-show, where I play some songs that just missed and some tunes I'm loving at the moment of course! This should be super fun!

I've again compiled some Chartifacts to satiate your minds until the big countdown!

8 songs that start with ‘What’
8 songs that start with ‘Why’
6 songs that start with ‘Are’
5 songs that start with ‘Do’
5 songs that start with ‘How’
5 songs that start with ‘Who’
2 songs that start with ‘Is’
2 songs that start with ‘What’s’
2 songs that start with ‘Where’
And 1 song each, that atart with:
‘Does’
‘Have’
‘Will’
‘Isn’t’
‘Don’t’
‘Wouldn’t’
‘Whataya’ --- I think we can guess what this one is ---
4 Australian acts in the Top 50, including just 1 in the Top 20
The oldest song in the Top 50 is from 1953
The most recent song in the Top 50 is from 2016
50’s have 1 song
60’s have 2 songs
70’s have 5 songs
80’s have 3 songs
90’s have 4 songs
00’s have 15 songs
10’s have 19 songs
There is a cover of a song that features 10 years after the 1961 original, in 1971
There is a cover of a song, and the original, that both feature, separate from the one above
There is a remix of a song that places Top 10 from 2014
There is a significant rise from the first novelty countdown from 3 ARIA #1’s to 10, including the #1 song!
There are 7 songs that peaked at #2 on ARIA, from the decades 60’s, 80’s, 90’s, 00’s and 10’s
There are two artists that feature with two songs a piece
There’s not a single song with a colour in the title!
No artist that featured in the ‘Colours’ countdown, features in this one…
The longest song clocks in at 4:55
The shortest song clocks in at 2:05

Phew. So, I hope to see you all in the chat from about 7:00 ish for the pre-show, and then at 8:00 ish for the start of the broadcast!

RIP Prince.

The show must go on, and this is an unashamed bump for this thread!

Tomorrow night from 7 pm!
Ok, I've gotta work a bit longer today, so the broadcast will commence from about 7:30 ish with a shortened pre-show. Hope you all can join me tonight!
I thought the bump in this thread was you saying you have to cancel...so glad it's still going ahead.
Stream is up! Get ready guys! Tune in!

Tried tuning into the Mixir stream but no stream was available.
I appreciate you wanting to tune in! But the countdown was last night. Stay tuned for more streams soon though

I've mentioned in passing in the past that an aus-charts station where people could listen again to these (and other) broadcasts would be a good idea for the future. Problematic though,so never was too serious bout it
Just a teaser guys... May's broadcast announcement is imminent! (Hint: It's Eurovision 2016 inspired... but probably not in the way you are thinking).
And a special, additional countdown will be following VERY soon after.

Plus: I have a few announcements for the impending 2016 half-year mark

Stay tuned...
Ooh fun, just for the record I've already called dibs on the 27th

OK. So I've been conspicuously absent of late but I'm planning on getting this train back on track!

I have bought a mic (and a pop filter to boot!), so my broadcasts will now have me talking... and further down the track when I get more confident in what the hell I'm actually doing, I might do a live broadcast in real time... but for now, my pre recorded, edited voice and broadcasts will have to do lol

Anyway, Saturday the 6th of August will be my third list, and it will be my all time favourite songs from Swedish artists. My #1 is a song that I really have an obsession with! This will start at 9:00 EST, of course, with a pre-show before that starting about 7:30...

Following that, Friday the 12th of August will be my updated EOY list from last year (It will probably be a Top 30 or 40 as opposed to the normal Top 50)... This will be accompanied by songs that I've enjoyed this year so far... this will begin at 8:00 pm... with a pre-show from 7:00

Then Saturday the 20th of August will be my Top 50 Max Martin songs. A countdown in which he either wrote or produced or both each song that features. A pop extravaganza. Trust me! This will also begin at about 9:30 pm with a pre-show from 8:00 pm.

All this whilst you listen to my glorious voice!
And if you are to tune in, I will be broadcasting and chatting in the chat on Mixlr, so sign up free on the site and tune in to my page! But I'll post more details on that later...
This is gonna be fun and I seriously can't wait to get back in to it... I hope a great big chunk of you can join me!

Questions, comments welcome.

Plus I invite you all to nominate a novelty countdown list you would like to hear, just PM me if you have a suggestion (I'm asking for a PM so it can remain a surprise until I announce it). We will collaborate on your suggested list and I will merely host the broadcast whilst your list is playing, even if I don't agree with the songs on the list lol :p

Plus, I'll namedrop you in the broadcast!

Thanks for your time Aus charts community!
A Sweden countdown and a Max Martin countdown, so you'll be playing the same list twice? I kid, looking forward to this.
A really sincere apology due to some Telstra related technical issues (being, the f***ing internet is down in my area since this morning), I'll have to postpone this to next week. So all will remain the same at this point, just pushed back in order of listed broadcast... Again, sorry guys.
If that's the case then we need to work something out because I was pinning down the 19th for my own EOY broadcast at roughly the same time.
Jinx, the 19th I have nothing planned
Oh? I interpreted your change of schedule as pushing everything a week back, so your 12th broadcast would be a 19th broadcast, I'm misinformed?
Lol. Yeah, maybe I wasn't clear enough then

Friday 12th August - Swedish Artist Top 50
Saturday 20th August - 2015 EOY re-visit
Friday 26th August - Max Martin Top 50

A pain in the ass this internet being down. I was really looking forward to broadcasting tonight!
Ah gotcha! All good then.
This is the first of three obligatory bump posts. Friday night pre-show beginning at 8:00... before my Swedish Top 50 countdown from 9:00 ish...

Can't wait to hang with you guys again!

BUMP!
We might start this earlier actually... Say 8:30 pm tomorrow night with pre show music streaming for most of the arvo I guess...
Don't forget to sign up to mixlr (free!) and we will have a chat in there... Would you rather that or you would you rather chat in our Aus Charts chat room? I'm good with either...
