End-of-year chart news

[Panda]

Here's an update on the progress of my end-of-year chart.

Due to recent events, I won't start compiling the chart until the end of next week. It should be ready either just before or just after Christmas Day.

Unlike last year, there won't be a December Hamster Hits chart. Having gone through 2 weeks of new releases, I've only heard 8 songs I'd even consider listening to again.

This year's Hamster Hits charts may give some clues to what will be at the top end of the chart but it's worth mentioning that the last two #1s in my end-of-year chart didn't reach #1 in my monthly chart.

Looking forward to it.
