Here are some of the basics:
You might wonder where are the charts?
Answer:
Like all good things done right – this will take some time.
What will your charts be based off of you ask?
Answer:
They will be based off of “100% Radio Play” only from AM & FM radio stations that report to Music Charts Magazine. Stations can report to whom ever they want but our charts will be based off of only the radio stations that report to us. All AM & FM radio stations are welcome.
I am an AM or FM radio station – how do I send my reports to you? – and what do we require?
Answer:
In order to have your station become part of Music Charts Magazine’s Music Charts please do the following for now..
Send an email to Report@MusicChartsMagazine.com
Email your call letters, name of person reporting from your station, and the genre of music your station plays.
It’s simple: we want your weekly top 10 plays – the artist name, the name of the song, and how many spins those top 10 songs received.
What is the deadline for your station to have these in?
Answer:
Friday at midnight every week. Week is based off of Friday through Thursday radio spins. Charts will appear on Monday mornings.
If you don’t make the weekly Friday midnight deadline your plays will not be counted on that upcoming weeks chart – when this occurs – no problem – you can pick up the next week.
Why should I be part of Music Charts Magazine?

Do y’all remember country music? I’m talking about REAL country music. The kind some of us (older folks) listened to back in the 50s, 60s, 70s, even the 80s… the kind of country music we watched as it changed from what it was then, to what it is now. Recently, I listened to a new CD by Tim Culpepper. The music is unquestionably country.I’m excited about this kid. His music is everything country music is supposed to be, and he sings great, too. I hope he wasn’t born 40 years too late for his music to find a place within the genre’ it was intended.
Artist: Art Pepper
Genre: Jazz
Title: Sankei Hall—Osaka, Japan: Unreleased Art Pepper, Vol. VII
Record Company: Widow’s Taste
Laurie Pepper, the saxophonist’s widow (hence, the name of the label), continues issuing previously unreleased material by her husband. Because Art Pepper’s career is well documented on record, one might wonder if additional releases are warranted. Yes, they are, primarily because Pepper was a major figure. He must have played some forgettable music along the way, but Widow’s Taste has so far released only music than enhances his considerable legacy.
This new two-CD set documents a 1980 concert that the audience obviously enjoyed. Backed by pianist George Cables, bassist Tony Dumas, and drummer Carl Burnett, Pepper plays magnificently throughout, whether the tempo is blistering (“Straight Life”), deliberate (“Over the Rainbow”), or medium (“Landscape”). Always lyrical, his playing occasionally reflects the oft-noted influence of John Coltrane, especially on up-temp pieces. This is true on “Cherokee,” for example: he distorts notes and plays notes at the upper limit of the alto saxophone, thereby adding intensity to his already impassioned music.
This release disappoints only because “Straight Life” ends abruptly, without resolution, probably because of an inadequate supply of tape at the concert. Laurie Pepper explains that she had to decide whether to include this incomplete performance on this CD. I believe she decided correctly.
A few extra-musical issues deserve comment. Pepper introduces “Ophelia” by saying that it constitutes his attempt to describe women. Does he mean that it is a programmatic composition? Whether he succeeds in musically describing women strikes me as irrelevant. It’s a lovely performance. Laurie Pepper proclaims that “George Cables’s character shines through every note he plays.” I do not know Cables, but, from hearing him play, I have no sense of his character. Perhaps this is my fault. Finally, Laurie Pepper seems to settle scores with Milcho Leviev, Art Pepper’s previous pianist, and Tony Dumas. While frankness is often admirable, her comments seem inappropriate in the context of this statement she makes about her husband: “He emphasized the importance of being courteous and compassionate.”
These are quibbles. What matters is Art Pepper’s music, which is masterful.
