eureka! here's what i want (it's all in the subject, really...): i am interested in the top 1000 albums list and i keep an eye on it from time to time and the thing is IT IS VERY MUCH ALIVE; things are happening fast and furious in the bottom at least and I would love this site to focus too on that very list a bit and keeping track of the albums that leave and the albums that enter. please!?

A list of climbers and fallers could be shown beneath the overall chart in a similar way to individual user charts, but the overall chart gets updated several times a day and albums can drop out and then go back in (so if you missed an update, then the next update wouldn't show you what happened previously).

The overall chart history page might be more useful for what you are wanting to do as if you look towards rank 1000, you can already see the movement of these albums in and out of the top 1000.

Brilliant. TU. New feature for me, that. so there I could learn that we have 4 new albums in the top 1000 this week with Lorde - Pure Heroin the biggest climber.

Could maybe do this in the form of a weekly/monthly email or social media post etc, but let me have a think about how best to implement this because people may want to see this for different time periods e.g. week, month, calendar year etc Think and the interface would be cluttered if everything was shown at once.

The other way of doing this (which I'd forgotten about) is to view the overall chart at a point in time (e.g. show the chart as it was last week) and (at the bottom of the screen) it'll show you the biggest climbers/fallers since then. The only thing missing from that page is the new entries, but maybe this is something that could be added to that screen.

Last week there were no new entries on the top 1000 albums chart, but this week these are the changes:
in:
985 Joni Mitchell - The Hissing Of Summer Lawns (returning after two weeks in the cold)
990 Pharoah Sanders - Karma
out:
1,001 Cake - Fashion Nugget
1,018 Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ - Bruce Springsteen
Are there any particular weekday best suitedfor spotting these changes?

the stats are updated multiple times every day, so any time should be the same as any other. if you were going to track this on an ongoing basis, then obviously doing it at the same time each week would be the important thing (regardless of which time you chose). I could try and automate some type of forum or social media post to do this, but not sure how much demand there'd be. I could do something like this with a bit of tidying up:

Biggest climbers:
Rum, Sodomy, And The Lash by The Pogues Rank today: 741 Rank last week: 769 (+28 places)
Hand. Cannot. Erase. by Steven Wilson Rank today: 964 Rank last week: 992 (+28 places)
Mellow Gold by Beck Rank today: 887 Rank last week: 914 (+27 places)
Ghosts Of The Great Highway by Sun Kil Moon Rank today: 898 Rank last week: 925 (+27 places)
The Nightfly by Donald Fagen Rank today: 647 Rank last week: 670 (+23 places)

Biggest fallers:
LP1 by FKA Twigs Rank today: 986 Rank last week: 945 (-41 places)
The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys Rank today: 920 Rank last week: 898 (-22 places)
Giant Steps by John Coltrane Rank today: 613 Rank last week: 593 (-20 places)
Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. by Bruce Springsteen Rank today: 1018 Rank last week: 1000 (-18 places)
Curtis by Curtis Mayfield Rank today: 771 Rank last week: 757 (-14 places)

New entries:
The Hissing Of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell Rank today: 985 Rank last week: 1024 (+39 places)
Karma by Pharoah Sanders Rank today: 990 Rank last week: 1013 (+23 places)

Something like that would be pure gold for me, and I would guess there'll naturally be a lot of Listoholics in our members base. I was wrong about the Nora Jones Lp (changed it to Bruce Sprinsteen above; another return), but surely it has been inside very recently. The most interesting new changes discovered these three last weeks has been the tremendous climb of Lordes - Pure Heroine, and XTC's English Settlement who has done an impressing climb from around 1,500 over a period of just a couple years. Can anyone explain why?

to find the detail, you'd have to drill into the rankings of each album, but I've just spot-checked the two albums that you pointed out & I can't spot any gaming so they look legit from a bea point of view (looks natural).

here are monthly movements just for reference (compared to 30 days ago)

biggest climbers:
Ghosts Of The Great Highway by Sun Kil Moon Rank today: 898 Rank last month: 976 (+78 places)

The Slider by T. Rex Rank today: 876 Rank last month: 924 (+48 places)
Atrocity Exhibition by Danny Brown Rank today: 841 Rank last month: 888 (+47 places)
Section.80 by Kendrick Lamar Rank today: 926 Rank last month: 973 (+47 places)

biggest fallers:
Torches by Foster The People Rank today: 980 Rank last month: 936 (-44 places)
LP1 by FKA Twigs Rank today: 986 Rank last month: 944 (-42 places)
Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. by Bruce Springsteen Rank today: 1018 Rank last month: 978 (-40 places)

I too would love these sort of weekly/monthly updates.
Already found these two you have done interesting.

a problem with the above is that it's always going to pick up movers towards the bottom of the top 1000 as you simply won't see the same level movement towards the top of the overall chart. You'd therefore need to see other sections of the chart to give a fuller picture of what's going on e.g. the top 500, 250 & 100.

If it was split by week AND month, I think it would be information overload so perhaps just a monthly digest (as a weekly digest wouldn't pick up as much movement). Something like this might be helpful?
