Set your chart as public or private
You can now set your chart as public or private. By default, your chart is public and visible to everybody else, but you can now choose to set your chart as private instead. If your chart is private, nobody else will be able to see and it won't count towards the overall rankings. This might be a useful option if you are in the middle of compiling your chart, and aren't quite ready to show it to the world!

Track ratings
The track pick algorithm has been updated so that no more than three tracks are highlighted on any album (& each of those tracks needs to have an average rating of over 85%). Before this change, there were too many 'track picks' listed on some albums, and the purpose was lost a little bit.

We now also show the overall average track rating for each album (i.e. the average rating of all tracks on an album). This is a secondary metric that appears near the track-listing for each album, and doesn't affect the rating of the album itself.

Data changes & pending corrections
Now added a 'status' filter to the latest data changes page so that you can view pending corrections, and/or approved or rejected changes. N.B. Data moderators can earn extra points by filtering this screen to show 'new' data corrections, and then approving or rejecting the submissions that are displayed.

Most of these ideas originally came from the forums, so thanks for your suggestions, and keep them coming!

Support us
If you'd like to support BEA, you can do so in any of the following ways:

  • Link to BEA from other websites. Talk about us on other websites, create a buzz and get people to check us out (but be careful not to do this in a spammy way!)
  • Buy your music via BEA. If you discover a new album or track, with help from BEA, use the iTunes, Amazon and eBay buttons on this site to buy it from your favourite store. BEA gets a small commission (pennies), and it helps to pay our hosting fees.
  • Subscribe to our newsletter. Keep up to date with the latest site news by subscribing to our FREE newsletter.
  • Use our chart widget. Share your chart on Facebook (or any other website)! You can find our chart widget on the resources page.
  • 'Like' us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter. Liking us on Facebook is a great way to promote BEA! If some of your friends see that you 'like' us, they might check us out too!

Enjoy the site and more soon...
