Writer, pontificator and all round enthusiastic commentator on all matters relating to the UK charts. I started on usenet in 1992 before being hired by dotmusic.com to write about the UK singles chart every week. Since then I've been with every iteration of the site, as it changed hands to BT and subsequently to Yahoo! until it closed in September 2011.

Currently writing weekly for top40.about.com to a worldwide audience of thousands.

Weekly podcast on all chart matters downloaded by over 2000 subscribers each month. Available on iTunes and other content aggregators.

TV appearances include "Zero 30" (BBC News), "Entertainment 24" (BBC News), "The 100 Worst Pop Records" (Channel 4) and "Pop Charts Britannia" (BBC Four).

With over 20 years experience, one of the longest standing and most-read music writers online.
