Pedro Costa - The Light #15 :)

[pedrocosta]

Still can't believe my song has charted
Thank you to all of you for your help and support.

[Miszon]

It's easier get on the chart than stay on it. So next week will be more important.

[Dede]

Congratulations Pedro! First step already done. I cross my fingers for the further results. Miszon is right that now it's more difficult to stay on the chart for longer but just think how many songs haven't even appeared in Top 50. I wish you to climb with your song to the basic Top 30 at least. With my best regards

Thanks a lot Dede. I hope so. Imagine an unsigned artist making it to the top 30, that would be pretty big. This list is very unique in the world in that it allows the public to vote, and is not pressured by the big labels. Thanks again

[Dede]

This list is very unique in the world in that it allows the public to vote, and is not pressured by the big labels.

That's why this list has so many close fans being connected with the list for many, many years. I don't know if you have already been told about LP3 chart in short notice. It's almost 27 years old and, for example, I listen it since July 1991 and there are some guys from the forum listening LP3 from the very beginning. I hope you will enjoy it and stay with us for good.

So, Piotr Baron actually encouraged people to vote for me on the show?
What exactly did he say?

[nemo]

hi Pedro,
Piotr Baron said that the incredible thing has happened - meaning that you wrote to us, the forum users. He described the situation, saying that you asked us to explain how come that your song appeared among some 180 other songs to vote for, and that you wanted to know the name of the hit list. He then asked us to tell you that you are in “Poczekalnia” and that you are welcome to come to Poland one day and be the host of the list. Piotr Baron’s latest guest in this role was Katie Melua (see photos: http://lp3.polskieradio.pl/zdjecia/)

[pedrocosta]

That's awesome. I wonder why he hasn't responded to my emails though.
I wish I could communicate with him to thank him for this opportunity.

[pedrocosta]

What did he mean by in “Poczekalnia”
Thanks guys.

[Robinson]

What did he mean by in “Poczekalnia”
Thanks guys.

Poczekalnia (waiting room) is made up of #31-50. These are the songs with a chance to enter the Top 30, which is the real hit list.

[Miszon]

"Poczekalnia" = "Waitin-room".
Chart is divided.
There are positions 1-30 and 31-50. If song in 1-30 drops down than 30th - it's out of the chart and cannot back on it.
31-50 - song can drop out of 50 and then back, even few times.
Also, there's no doubled positions in Top 30.
Songs in Poczekalnia: played shortened - at 7 to 8 p.m. CET
Songs in Top 30: if up - played whole song, if down - shortened, if at the same position as previous week: in Top10 - usually whole, others - shortened. Top 30 - played after 8 p.m. CET

There are also some statistics differences (number of weeks in Top30 is counted separately than in Poczekalnia, songs in Top20 get points to all-time summary; songs in Top30 - year summary, and so on, etc. ...).

[pedrocosta]

I understand. Thanks guys. Still haven't heard from Piotr Baron though
I wish he would respond but I guess he is a busy guy.

[Robinson]

He gets lots of e-mails. I have written to him about 10 times during the last year and maybe I got just 1 or 2 replies. However, he sometimes replies on the air, not in writing.

Piotr Baron is playing your song just now In his program TuBaron

Cool
Thanks for letting me know nemo.

[pedrocosta]

Has anyone heard my song played on different shows? or only with Piotr Baron?
Thanks just curious whether getting on the chart made a difference.

[nemo]

I haven't been listening the whole day, but I guess today it hasn't appeared so far.
You now, today Trójka celebrates its 47th birthday, and there is a lot of old material (that is, fragments of programs, interviews with guests and presenters, and older songs) on air. There was also a special birthday concert given by Raz, Dwa, Trzy, which has just ended.
Don't worry, it's going to be ok with your song

[pedrocosta]

47th birthday?
They should have celebrated by playing #47
Thanks nemo. I'm anxious to see what happens on Saturday.

[nemo]

I had the same idea in the morning

[Miszon]

haha! That was good - #47 for 47th .

[pedrocosta]

Looks like I am still on the chart this week

It says two weeks in the chart now.
We will see tomorrow if I was able to go up

[Robinson]

Well, good luck then!
Hope you join us here tomorrow just after 7 p.m.
