       DD's UK Charts Analysis Rules

       Since I returned to CTE And Adding Charts I've noticed there are
       a lot of singles and albums that the OCC indecate are the same
       Release but they seem to bypass the checks.
       In my view
       [list type=decimal]
       [li]If A Release Changes Cat No But The Track Listing remains
       the same this should be treated as the same release
       [/li]
       [li]Where A Release was originally released with x Tracks but
       the new release has a different track listing that then becomes
       a new release[/li]
       [li]Where a release was originally released with a set of mixes
       but then reenters chart with same number of tracks but a
       different set of mixes it should be treated as a new
       release[/li]
       [li]Where a release is released with addition cd's I.E. It
       changes from a single disk to a multi disc it shoudl be treated
       as a new release.[/li]
       [li]Should the credited artist(s) Change then this will be
       treated as a new release.[/li]
       [/list]
       While designing CTE 2525 I have been able to Develope technology
       that allows me to add all 10 of my tracked charts in between 2-3
       hours that's 960 Entries into my db.
       If you have been checking out the UK Charts Analysis you'll
       notice I have been able to include a vast amount of information,
       I can only do this because of the extra time my systems give me,
       the main Albums and singles charts I check every new entry with
       a number of sites, This is what lead to this poll.
       I am currently updating the data starting with the first
       Physical Albums Chart in 1994 Adding Information to each new
       entry this is not a small job but am correcting issues as I go.
