They changed the official top 40 chart last year to only relate to download sales though, so surely this is very old news?

However I also pay singles charts no time either. They have been pointless and worthless since the mid 90's in my view. These days mostly filled with lift musak! The album charts are a better reflection of the music people are really listening to in the mainstream. But even then it doesn't reflect the true diversity of music being released. For that you have to explore and experiment with different genres. Only then will you really enjoy music and find something you really enjoy.
