Hey there pop pickers. With the recent deaths of Alan ‘fluff’ Freeman and TOTP, we realise you need to get your chart fix from somewhere. So we’ve formed an alliance with Last.fm which will now provide you with a weekly chart of what the Pranksters listening to.

Here’s this weeks offering’s

Pay attention now, here comes the science bit…
Head over to their site and download their scrobbler. Then, whenever you listen to a song through either Windows Media Player or iTunes, it uploads info about the track and starts logging. Pretty soon you build up a listening history which compiles charts for you and also pairs you to similar listeners. It also learns what you like and starts recommending new music for you to peruse. Interesting way to while away the hours (if you use your computer to play tracks, that is!)

...and it’s free. bonus !
