Anyone remember the ITV Chart Show?.

[Chewbacca]

I can hardly remember ITV. When did that stop?

Senser were one of the earlier 'crossover' rap metal acts

Some of the songs off 'Stacked Up' were heavy as - especially Eject and No Comply

Pretty good that, seems like they had different styles and sounds on one album.

It was the guitarist of Compulsion who later became Jackknife Lee I think. Garrett Lee his real name is.

I used to love the top 40 in the 90's. Sunday dinner scranned then in my room with the charts on and computer. Top of the Pops was great as well. I remember the ITV thing on a Saturday morning existing but I'd be out playing football.

Definitely - 'Stacked Up' is a quality album, all sorts of styles on there

They tried to introduce a little bit of drum and bass into their next album 'Asylum' - wasn't quite as successful but still has some good stuff on it

Yes, used to watch it for the indie chart, because it was one of the few places you could see music like that on the telly, along with Snub TV and the short-lived Transmission. Used to show some good stuff. A lot of them are on YouTube.

Sure he sparked Liam Gallagher out once. Bands like Ride were part of the insanely average scene at that time. IMO anyways

For those first 4 EP's and Nowhere Ride were about as close to perfection as an indie band gets. They were fantastic live around then, too. They didn't sustain it unfortunately, but if they'd made the two records they've made since reforming after Going Blank Again they'd probably have a better legacy. One of few bands whose "comeback" has been completely worthwhile.

The drummer of Compulsion would later become the record producer Jackknife Lee, who produced Bloc Party and did the rock remix of Eminem’s “Cleaning Out My Closet”, that Kerrang TV would play loads once upon a time.

This chart does make me realise that it’s independent labels, so we have Senser despite being a rap group, as the indie No.1.

Don't know if The Chart Show used the same "indie" chart but The Backstreet Boys were often No1 in the NME Chart as they were signed to an "independent" label.

Oh yes. It was a label called Jive who were indie and later bought out by a major label and the name later seized.

The ITV Chart Show did have Jason Donovan in it a few times as well as Kylie for a while, as PWL was an indie label.

NME might not have used the official one and used a different compiling method and definition of what is indie.

What I have known as a fact for a few years now however, is that The Chart Show used the official one when it was on Channel 4, then during the ITV era phoned up independent record shops compiling a list of what singles they sold on an independent label and the quantity of each.
