Page 50 exercise 2:

The British charts were started in 1952. The top twelve records were listed by a
magazine called New Musical Express. One of the magazine’s managers phoned twenty
record shops every week to find the information. The harts were popular and they were
copied by other magazines.
These days the official charts are prepared by a specialist company. More than 5,000
shops are connected to a computer and the information is processed every week. Apart
from the general charts, there are also charts for hip hop, indie, country and other types
of music.
In the future, more Internet shops will be connected to the carts system, as people buy
more music online.
