Radio 1 Chart and MTV Awards Research

Radio 1 Charts

From looking at the Radio 1 chart, i have found that most of the songs in the top 40 our of the indie pop or Rap/Pop genre. i feel that because our song i in a similar genre as of most of the songs in the top 40 our song may become popular with this audience as it is of a similar genre and music taste.

This helps in our research and planning as this is our target audience and helps us base our song on the charts. I also looked at the Indie single top 40 charts, this showed me that most indie songs that are popular at the moment are
















MTV Awards

From these results I can see that majority of the nominees and the winner of the best video of the year are from the performance or spectacle genre. This shows that spectacle and performance are the best genres of music video as they engaging with the audience. 

Taylor Swift - Bad Blood music video uses a lot of clever camera angles and special effects. The genre is image and spectacle, I think the Bad Blood music video won the video of the year as it had a lot going on and kept the audience gripped, it also starred a lot of well known celebrities making people want to watch it again to spot the famous people for example, Ellie Goulding. 

The winner of the best editing was Beyonce '7/11' This video features many creative shots making the video very interesting when the location is only a hotel room. The editing is face pace and in time with the beat, i feel like this is very effective. I would like to use this in our video as i feel that it is very effctive and editing to the beat of our music could add a lot of interest and appeal in our video.
