Hi Sam - just for the "record" we do not get any money for pop ups or advertising of CDs and no the charts are not fixed . They are based on online sales & retail sales .

The only things that we do get (or you as the visitors) are a few promo CDs every now and then - to give away

So to set the record straight once and for all the charts are not fixed but based on online and retail sales for the past week .

Also a number of you have already mentioned that pops up help push sales well does help but a great many actually turn off pop ups. Also remember that we do have an exclusive samples section that ppl listen to hence the Albums get promoted even before they are released hence a pre-order sales boost for the week in question
e.g
week 1 - samples on exclusive page
week 2 - pre-orders can be made
week 3 - cd released (means pre-orders can be dispatched and add to the weeks sales figs)
week4 - charts time for Week 3 CDs
and hence week 4 top ten charts entries

We feel that based on the above we are providing a fair chart listing.

Remember everyone has their likes and dislikes so a cd that one person likes 10 others may not

Also does it really make business sense to promote a cd that is no good and does not sell ?? far better to have a number 1 cd that sells like hot samosa's which means more money for us !

In summary the charts are as honest as our sales figs

Ignore the charts, theres no 1 chart to judge sales by, but its obvious that if nex man is payin this site there going tobe put at no1. sorry stste of affairs but true,

[vinny]

i dont fink so lots of other ppl seem 2 like the album , i have been using the charts to buy my cds and they have always been reliable

[Randip]

The charts are a decent guide, but c'mon, be honest every album that has a pop screen on the charts section seems to get to no1. Blazin is not bad, but again its an other album about 1 song!! weak!!
But the chart thing, jus think about the pop ups and then see who's no1

[Kamlee]

I'm preety sure the charts are geniune.
If you think about it like Randip says the pop ups do help give a album presents etc, and that in return is gonna help a album sell.
J.skillz was numba 1 on the charts , but he had no pop up nor did RDB or Zeus, but they still got to numba 1.
Plus the fact that you have a promo track for people to listen to helps out as well.
Also the fact that I'm just finishing my marketing dregee helps as well.
It's all about good hype & publicity.
Look at the mainstreme Emon was numba 1 for about 4/5 weeks now his ex has got it Frankie ;D

lol. These charts have always been reliable. Big up Punjab2000. Blazin has got some hot joints like Dil, Hasdi HAsdi and Chardi. It deserves to be at number1.

If thats what the public are buying then cool.

The charts are not true to sales at all!! Not just the blazin album but others too, This site is good for reviews and gig info and tony u doing a real good job, but you have to admit that no chart in the uk is geniune, every site or radio station has hit fave. artists and thats what they push, Buy the original and be like the artists IGNORE THE CHARTS!!

[Chartbuster]

Then Whats The Point Of Having a Chart On Punjab2000? lol

Ps - its good to have this kind of feed back so that we can understand and respond to you about how you feel Punjab2000 is running

PPs - just remembered if the charts were fixed and we felt your posts underminded us then it would have been easier for us to delete the whole thread and make ppl think the whole thing had never happened !
