Music Charts. Do they exist anymore? When was the last time you heard radio mention the music charts? I haven’t heard anymore count down shows. Do the music charts still exists? What is this weeks most popular song? I have no idea. What is the best song for the year today? What are the top ten songs now?

I took a look into iTunes. The first song I see listed under songs is Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas Is You. Most of the songs that I see listed, I’ve never heard them before.
When music charts were mentioned in the past, I knew every song on the chart. It’s not like that anymore. Everything seems different today. Everybody is making their own playlist when they use Spotify or Pandora. Then there is iHeart, Tunein, & RadioTunes. There is just so much variety.

Plus, music is so much more complexed. We have independent music artists. Are they hitting the charts? Do we need the music charts anymore? It’s not like the days of James Brown, Michael Jackson, and The Bee Gees.

It has been said that music artists are not making money from their music. Technology brought that change. I don’t hear talk of songs becoming big hits anymore like in the old days. There are a lot of us still talking about the old music. Old songs are new songs again.

I’m Gail Nobles. In my opinion, the music charts may not be needed any longer.
