Frequently Asked Questions
| Q: What are the BPI Sales Awards? | |
| A: The BPI is the British Phonographic Industry, they are the industry body that verifies record shipments and awards silver, gold and platinum discs. The BPI Sales Awards section in ChartsPlus lists every week which records have been awarded silver, gold, platinum and multi-platinum status in the previous week. | |
| Q: Why do you call it a "newsletter"? Is it not a magazine? | |
| A: If we said "Magazine", then most people would expect a glossy colourful magazine, with advertisements, news, backgrounders, etc. The content of such magazines is often influenced by the wishes of the advertisers. We use the phrase "Newsletter", because we provide factual information for our subscribers, without being controlled by advertisers. UKChartsPlus contains facts, and facts only. No ads - Just facts! | |
