Talking to several bands and artists over the years, the artists couldn't care less. It's the labels and people scared they'll lose their jobs if a band doesn't make Top 10 etc. As a fan I couldn't care any less about chart position. The ONLY people who care anymore are the one's scared they'll lose a job if something doesn't sell. Why do we even have charts anymore? I never hear anyone talking about it anymore. Most record stores wouldn't display it. There's virtually no countdown or Top 40 hits shows anymore. I can see charts becoming extinct soon enough.
