Quite sobering when you realise the catastrophic decline in bands appearing in the charts.
Richard Osman says that a 'group/band' has occupied the number one spot in the UK charts for just three weeks in the last five years. The American guy Rick Beato reckons that just 3 bands - that have formed in the last ten years - feature in the top 400 rankings (in monthly listeners) on Spotify.
Tastes change, technology advances, budgets are squeezed and I feel very, very old
If you want to find your new favourite band fronted by a fellow Addick. You should check out my band "Simmons And The Stags" out....
And an even bigger plus is we're playing an EP Launch next month in London so you can come see us live for just £6 with a discount for Charlton fans only. Just send me a message if you're up for coming or I'd be happy to reply in here!

Costs a lot more to record and promote a band. More syncs for other genre of music in TV, Film & Radio Ads. But also I don't think the Charts reflect anything anymore since the change in adding streaming numbers. All you need is to be placed in X amount of big playlists and you'll chart higher than someone who has sold 1000's of records that week. It's crazy and not realistic anymore.
