This is the official chart update from BBC Radio 1

There are very little songs, if any, included in the Top 40 which fit into my genre of Indie/Folk music. This is mainly because this genre of music isn't mainstream and will only appeal to a niche audience, but with my music magazine, I would be hoping to introduce this genre of music to more people so that everyone can enjoy and appreciate it. I want to do this without making it too mainstream that the original fans lose interest because it's 'too public' and I don't want this music to be 'ruined and overplayed' as some people view most mainstream music.
