Why are people charting Roam by the B52's was this charting in the US when Love shack was doing well here? I just know it's their next hit here later in the year?

Yes it was at number 4 in the USA this week.

Shame that people chart it now as when it actually charts, those people probably wont rechart it, so it will get a lower position

True, but everyone does what they like at the time, for me if the USA chart hit predates the UK hit I just wait until the UK chart entry, if it doesn't chart in the UK I chart the US hit.

I don't do that, but if I know a song will enter the UK top 40 I will wait until it does, rather than chart it when it's in the top 75. But if I know it won't, I chart it when it's in the top 75. So They Might Be Giants have to wait until it gets into the top 40 before I chart it.

My chart is based on the UK top 100 and a little beyond, I chart them the week they chart now. Back in the day I charted songs when I heard them which could be 2 months before release but for these recreated charts thats too hard to calculate.  US hits I chart them when they go Top 50 in Billboard as long as they didnt chart here. But I have charted a few early in error but only ones that I didnt realise charted at #97 in the UK or something never big hits like 'Roam'
