Hi
All!
Sorry again, but neither last week's
nor this week's ECHOES has arrived yet. Postal delivery times are usually quite
reliable, but there were a number of public holidays in Britain & Germany
last week (I really hope that's the cause!!), so be
patient!
Meanwhile I'll post the
following charts:
1. The JetStar Top 10, as
broadcast by DJ Goldfinger last Saturday.
JetStar
is Britain's largest specialist
Reggae distributor (although it has lost
the
exclusive rights for its largest label Greensleeves earlier this
year).
As their chart is produced in-house
it records only records distributed by
JetStar, and therefore differs rather a lot from the Echoes
chart.
2. Billboard US Reggae CD Sales Top
15
3. Three charts from Merton McKenzie's
Dancehall Reggae Web-site:
