Laura Johnson Leave a comment

green_day_js_080916

So, Green Day have managed it, they’ve knocked festival favourites Biffy Clyro off the top spot and down to #6.  Completing the rest of the top five we have Olly Murs, Frankie Valli, Justin Bieber and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

This week we welcome some new names to the chart, including Lucy Spraggan, The Next Step, Jimmy Eat World, Marvel Universe Live, Shawn Mendes and Christine and the Queens, among others. The new blood has meant we’ve had to say goodbye to some acts, but we’ve still got some familiar faces who are holding firm in the top 20,  such as The Cure, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Twenty One Pilots and Dave Chappelle.

We’ve had a big re-jig this week, so it’s anyone’s guess as to what next week’s chart will look like, especially considering there are tickets going on sale for Elton John, Korn (co-headline with Limp Bizkit), Bon Iver, The Pretty Reckless and Taking Back Sunday.  Check back in with us to see if any of them manage to steal the #1 spot from the punk trio.

Bruce Springsteen Returns To #1 On Stereoboard’s Hot Ticket Chart

Laura Johnson Leave a comment

bruce_springsteen_js_041215

You can’t keep The Boss down for long, that much is clear as we see Bruce Springsteen back at #1 on Stereoboard’s Hot Ticket Chart, closely followed by Coldplay, Adele, Kasabian and Beyonce, who have all held top spot in recent weeks.

Meanwhile, Stevie Wonder has risen from #9 to #6, but the Summertime Ball is not having as much good luck, having dropped all the way from #2 to #7. However, AC/DC are climbing their way back into the top 10, going from last but one last week to #8 this week. Could they be heading for that #1 spot again? We’ll see!

Over the next week I think it’s fair to say there’s something for everyone, with tickets going on sale for Jake Bugg, Birdy, Goo Goo Dolls, Don Broco and Gary Numan, among others. Reckon they’ve got what it takes to boot The Boss off the top spot? Check back in with us next week to find out.

The Boss has done it, he’s knocked The Next Step off the top spot, where they’ve been for two weeks, and down to #12. In second position is Stevie Wonder, followed by Coldplay, AC/DC and new entry Donny Osmond.

This week we also welcome to the chart Corey Taylor, Euro 2016, Shawn Mendes, and The Stone Roses. New entries have meant a bit of a re-jig and we see Beyonce and The Tenderloins swap places, Jeff Lynnes ELO go from #6 to #11 and previous chart queen Adele go from #5 to #13.
