UK: Music Charts Have Lost Credibility

British people believe the UK music charts have lost credibility and reflect the marketing power behind overhyped artists rather than the nation’s musical tastes, a poll has found.

Almost three quarters (74%) of British people believe the importance of the UK music charts has diminished in recent years.

Almost half (40%) believe the “stars” of shows like the X Factor lack real talent and 65% condemn reality TV talent shows for creating a generic style of music.

The survey questioned 1,500 people aged 16 to 55 online about their tastes in music.
