Common questions
What goes in each section?
Tracks and Takes is built on the release and the tour behind it. Releases and Charts follow the recorded side, Live follows the touring calendar as it is announced, Artists collects coverage by act, and Industry covers labels, streaming and rights.
Do you sell tickets or link to resellers?
No. Live reports what promoters and named publications have announced about dates and venues, and there is nothing to buy here and no reseller links. For tickets, go to the promoter or the venue.
Where do chart positions come from?
From the chart compilers and the publications reporting them, credited by name in each piece with a link. Nothing is counted or ranked here, and a position is only as current as the chart week it came from.
Do you review anything yourselves?
No. The pieces summarise what has been reported about a release or a tour, and any critical judgement in them is attributed to the publication that made it. No rating is applied by this site.
Who is credited on an article here?
They are written with automated assistance and carry no personal byline, crediting the source publication where an author would normally be named. Nobody here is presented as a critic.
How do I get new pieces automatically?
Through the RSS feed at /feed.xml, which lists every piece in publication order. Any reader will accept it without an account.
