UK To Get Music Download Chart

Posted by timothy on from the bbc-one-bbc-two-bbc-three dept.

theOtherFool writes "The Observer reported today that BBC Radio One is to broadcast a chart of legally downloaded music. This is a big deal because the station is the broadcaster of pop music for our sceptered isle; it legitimises downloading and seems to show that the industry (or at least the BPI, our equivalent of the RIAA) is starting to accept it, rather than ignoring it and hoping it might go away."

    Right, because that's all we listen to here. It's great to hear informed comment from people who've never even been to the UK.

    Besides, you must be thinking of Belgium.
