Streaming music to chart!?

Apparently, plays on Spotify, legal Napster etc. may one day be included in the UK charts.

So far, the official charts have always been driven by those who at least make the effort to fork out cash for product - even if it's just digital data these days.

Airplay charts exist here and there, but who cares what some DJ decides to play to you? Now, if what I decide to listen to for free gets included, I'm worried that I may tread more carefully with what I click.

Unfortunately - I think we'd start to be 'rickrolled' whilst clicking on Spotify URI's, expecting to hear something we want to hear, but end up listening to something else. That won't be good...not good at all.

I guess I shall say now...I don't approve! in fact, who gives a crap about the charts anymore, I'd rather have a random top 40 anyway of what's just generally out.

There - I've redefined music. Easy huh?
