ZooTV 3rd week in a row at No 1 in Australia.
Just a heads up about Australian charts from now on. Currently ZooTV is listed as Platinum x 2, but since the end of May the Aria charts, which counted all cd/dvd sales has had a split with three of the biggest music stores. All Sanity, HMV and Virgin sales are no longer counted on the Aria charts, thus making the Platinum x 2 figure not an accurate reflection of true sales. Sanity and HMV make up around 340 retail outlets in Australia.
They are going to keep their own charts, ZooTV is listed at No 1 on their charts as well, but they don't display Platinum figures as of yet. This is going to make it very difficult to display an accurate figure of all sales for any cd/dvd from here on in. It could possibly mean the dismantling of Aria all together. I'll paste a quote that describes it in more detail.
============================================================================================
THE Australian pop charts are at the centre of a music industry war that has spawned a rival list.
Music retail chains Sanity, HMV and Virgin have withdrawn their sales figures from official chart compiler ARIA, the Australian Recording Industry Association.
The battle over technology throws the weekly ARIA chart into disarray.
Sanity, HMV and Virgin Megastore, all owned by Brazin, will stop sending their CD sales information to ARIA today and instead produce their own rival instore chart.
That means any CD sold from any of Brazin's 340 stores across Australia will not count towards the ARIA chart.
ARIA issued a statement yesterday saying it was disappointed with Brazin's decision but insisted it will not affect the production or accuracy of its weekly charts.
Brazin CEO Greg Milne said he doubted ARIA would be able to produce accurate charts.
"I don't know how they can say that considering HMV, Sanity and Virgin account for a fairly big chunk of the market," he said. "I'm not sure how it won't impact."
Brazin used data-compiling company GFK to track sales through its stores.
Mr Milne said GFK's systems were more sophisticated than ARIA's.
"Rather than a chart that will be a week old before it hits the street, we'll have a chart that will be updated every day," he said. "In today's world it's time we took it to the next level."
Mr Milne denied industry rumours his company wanted to charge ARIA for its sales figures.
"There's no ulterior motive. We're not trying to steal the industry away," he said.
The ARIA charts will be compiled from sales at more than 850 shops, including JB Hi-Fi, independent music retailers and department stores Target, Big W and Kmart.
Industry insiders said the Brazin-free ARIA chart could reflect music from an older demographic if it relied on sales mainly from department stores, which are usually slow to stock new or alternative music.
"This is bad news for new Australian rock acts," Undercover music website owner Paul Cashmere said yesterday.
"They will be struggling even harder for a chart position."
