Everything about Uk Indie Chart totally explained
The
UK Independent Chart or
Indie Chart is a chart of the best-selling independent record releases in the UK.
History
In the wake of
punk, small record labels began to spring up, as an outlet for artists that were unwilling to sign contracts with major record companies, or were not considered commercially attractive to those companies. By 1978, labels like
Cherry Red,
Rough Trade, and
Mute had started up, and a support structure soon followed, including independent pressing, distribution and promotion. These labels got bigger and bigger, and by 1980 were having top 10 hits in the
UK Singles Chart.
To be included in the indie chart, a record had to be distributed independently of the corporate framework of the major record companies; the genre of music was irrelevant. Large independent distributors emerged such as Pinnacle and Spartan, and there later emerged
The Cartel, an association of regional distributors including Rough Trade, Backs, and
Red Rhino.
