New Charts?

[Kilroy]

Firstly I wanna say that your site is getting better and better. Great job guys.

And secondly, I have a question. Are you going to put some new charts? (for example from Eastern Europe - Polish, Russian, Czech, Hungarian).

If you want I can help you with the Polish chart. We don't have a official sales chart, but there's a Polish Airplay Chart. It's based on 100 radio-stations' playlists. Here's a link: http://www.pifpaf.com.pl/airplay/krajowa.html (it isn't always updated there). The Chart is shown every Saturday on Polish biggest TV station.

I´m interested in eastern european countries charts too and in latinamerica charts. Perú, Colombia and Mexico have airplays charts.

Yes

Kilroy is right, Latin American and Eastern European countries do have airplay chartsand some of them even have singles sales charts too.
So it would be great too see them here too along with the EU countries.

Keep the good work!

Jose, many users contact us about more Latin charts. But there aren't 'safe' sources about the Latino-american charts. Especially about newest music styles like Latin rock, or latin RnB. Also, it is impossible to know everything about any music style/field, and even we don't know to determine the markets' needs.
Kilroy and Euterpe, our biggest problem with the Eastern europe, is Cyrillic alphabet :confused: And ofcourse the demandf of the market. 4 months now we are trying to establish a "Russian" chart, but the problem of names/titles etc is remaining. Anyone help?
This kind of problem (alphabet) it was China's chart. If everything goes well thanx to a forum member we will have solve it and after the DB/SQL tests it will appear within February.
Thanks all for the kind words :)

Hi Paris.

BTW: Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania have official airplay charts and they use the same alphabet, "occidental".

Hi Jose,
thank you for the URL, I didn't notice ever.. :)
Brilliant job, good for you!

But our problem is remaining within your format:
Look what I mean (copy/paste):]
1 - Песня Идущего Домой - Вячеслав Бутусов & Юпитер

The No1 spot with the 'cyrillic' writting. Is is possible to trasform the 'characters' and NOT the mean? Is there any possibility to REPLACE the 'cyrillic' characters with english?

Let's give an example from the 'Latin' field and how this trasformed in english:
Thalía --> Thalia
Beyoncé --> Beyonce
Álex Ubago --> Alex Ubago or
Dónde Estará --> Donde Estara
That's our problem which is related to our DB SQL.

Well yeah, i put every week in my site the russian top 100 in "our" alphabet, while the Cyrillic is available in the chart archive.
Now is up to date, I had to make that change because of people's demand last year. Hope you enjoy the charts

Thank you very much, I am going to start the tests about the characters and Russian chart again, even tommorow!
If everything goes well, then you 'll recieve a 'private' message by me within forums.
Thanx a lot, Jose! ;)
