Intriguing news that Last.fm and Channel 4 TV are going to collaborate on a global music chart show (via cityofsound). I can't find many details on this, but it will be intriguing to see how they present the data, because a lot of the Last.fm charts are, well, not very interesting. I checked the current charts for the UK and found that the Arctic Monkeys are occupying the whole of the Top 12 — so I tried France, a country with a proud tradition of cultural independence. As you can see (image on the right, click to enlarge), the story is only slightly better there.
