This is a list of
the Top 40 Most Popular Songs released on the Rush
Released promotional CD. Each week DJs and media people who receive
Rush Released send back their reaction sheets
where they are given the chance to rate every song from 10pts to zero. This
chart records the songs with the highest ratings. It is exclusively for
clients of the Rush Released CD. The Biggest
movers and highest new entries each week are shown in yellow. The
chart is published weekly here, and also in Up Country, Scottish Country Music &
Dance, Country Routes, Cross Country, Pathfinder and Southern Country magazines.

Back to TopThe Hotdisc Top 20 programme
presented by Jackie Storrar on CMR Nashville Radio will return for a new series
soon and is clickable from our website
at www.hotdisc.net and don't forget Hotdisc Radio has been launched
so you can hear live country music from around the world as well as special
features available from our home page. Look out too for Hotdisc Television which
has now launched.
The Hotdisc charts are
compiled from DJs and industry professionals' ratings of songs currently
being promoted on the Rush Released CD. They are not airplay charts, as airplay charts
cannot work in Europe as there are no terrestrial country stations in this
area. The hundreds of country shows are likely to
play a particular song only twice at most in a three month period, therefore
rendering airplay charts insignificant in Europe. It works well in America
where there are plenty of non-stop country stations but it cannot work here.
The Hotdisc charts
are therefore
put together weekly using ratings supplied by DJs who give scores to every song
on the last three months' editions of Rush Released. The scores are totalled up and averaged out
per week to give an accurate guide to the songs which are being championed by
the industry. The aim is to showcase the songs which the DJs and media
people are pinpointing as top quality songs, which is a very useful exercise,
particularly to all our clients and DJs as it is free of politics, hype and
rigging and done on merit!
