Oldest Music forum- new release info

[TheThorne]

Does anybody know where the oldest surviving music forum is, I suspect Haven and Moopy were near the first surviving early 2003. Digital Spy has been around since 2001 but it only seems to have music updates from Feb 2003 as well.

I am trying to find new release schedule for January- early Feb 2003 or earlier if possible. Would they have been posted anywhere else apart from Dotmusic before that time?

Without knowing otherwise I would have said UKMix.

Not sure about music forums or anything like that, but I’ve used this site to scroll through album releases by year.

www.albumoftheyear.org/2003/releases/

Not sure it’s any use but maybe it is

Dom Robinson (known as Dominator in his usenet days) used to maintain a weekly list of new releases from 1997 until a few years ago. These are archived at his website (dvd-fever.co.uk). At one time all the old posts were in date order and so were easy to find. It looks like he has overhauled his website and the old posts now have to be found via a search through key words which makes his older posts harder to find.

Trying a key word search on "new singles releases info 2003" returns dvd-fever.co.uk/?s=new+singles+releases+info+2003 . Searching through the returns I found

dvd-fever.co.uk/mu010203/#NRS which lists new singles releases for January 20, 27, February 3, 10, 17, 24, March 3, 10, 17, 24, 31, April 7 (all 2003). The list isn't comprehensive but may help you find what you are looking for.

dvd-fever.co.uk/mu281202/#NRS adds in releases for January 6 and 13 2003.

Interestingly there's a number of posts which have all the midweeks (with sales) for January and February 2003 (plus for subsequent months).

dvd-fever.co.uk/news0103/ (January 2003)

dvd-fever.co.uk/news0203/ (February 2003)

From the above link, the midweeks chart for this day (1 February) in 2003 was

The Top 10 singles are:

1 (-) tATu – All The Things She Said (50,840)
2 (-) Kelly Rowland – Stole (33,854)
3 (1) David Sneddon – Stop Living The Lie (14,425)
4 (2) Jay-Z & Beyonce Knowles – Bonnie & Clyde (13,653)
5 (3) Jurgen Vries & Charlotte Church – The Opera Song (Brave New World) (11,423)
6 (-) Camron – Hey Ma (10,321)
7 (6) Eminem – Lose Yourself (9,666)
8 (4) Busted – Year 3000 (9,549)
9 (7) Panjabi MC – Mundian To Back Ke (8,979)
10 (8) Daniel Bedingfield – If You’re Not the One (8,885)

The Top 10 albums are:

1 (1) Justin Timberlake – Justified (26,516)
2 (3) Busted – Busted (17,469)
3 (2) Avril Lavigne – Let Go (15,794)
4 (6) Christina Aguilera – Stripped (13,135)
5 (9) Bee Gees – Greatest Hits (10,917)
6 (5) Daniel Bedingfield – Gotta Get Thru This (10,575)

9 (13) Royksopp – Melody AM (8,733)
10 (8) Red Hot Chili Peppers – By The Way (8,533)

Might not be much TheThorne help but I've been building my own using the top 1000 singles lists on rateyourmusic.com, which also has some release dates included, cat45, wikipedia my mp3 collection and my own best of playlists, songs that charted aren't a problem to find, they are well archived so these are just songs I liked that didn't chart (a few may have reached the top 200 or scraped in an American rock chart), the release dates are to the best of my knowledge, some are guestimates but most I found release dates for on cat45, wikipedia or rateyourmusic.com.

OMG how dumb am I , I should see what comes up now when I filter my mp3s for 2000 as, they should be all pretty much there from this point on, maybe even sooner

Just thought this thread should maybe be in Music

[ManicKangaroo]

Done

[Earl Purple]

Nice to see all those Cinerama songs listed. Lollobrigida wasn't very good but did have a good B-side "Sly Curl".

Quite a lot of NM #1s in there (not just Cinerama ones)
