@luminate_data This is very interesting. Might someone be available to come onto my radio programme to talk this through please? Thank you.

SO proud of these. Hundreds of talented musicians from the round here. All aired in the past twelve months through @bbcintroducing East Midlands. ** You can have a proper deep dive here: @beatonthebee4

... any of them on Spotify's Top 200! Which means the chance of this lovely National moment being reflected in the @officialcharts is slim at best. *** I miss these quirks in the chart. They kept it interesting and gave it character.

Yes. Some people say it’s because Ed Sheeran Adele et cetera haven’t released any records this year. But for me it’s the lack of those quirky quintessentially British songs in the chart this is doing the damage. Our chart definitely lacks any sense of being British at the moment. And that saddens me.

I am not disagreeing with any of this. I just think it’s a real shame that more British artists aren’t being noticed by overseas markets because of the chart. Time was when Britain, behind America was the most dominant force in world music. We can’t say this now with a lack of British music in our own chart. I’m looking into the reasons for it. I’ll be back after Christmas!

@martynmnw I have to agree. I’m beginning to suspect that we are just classed as one of the states of the USA as far as the algorithm is concerned. On some platforms anyway:

I’d like to think that this is ‘one off’; a freak result. But my instinct tells me otherwise. I fear that there will be a week in 2025 when, for the first time, there are will be no British artists in the UK’s own Top 40. They deserve better.
