New wave music
–
New wave is a genre of rock music popular from the late 1970s to the mid-1980s with ties to 1970s punk rock. New wave moved away from smooth blues and rock and roll sounds to create pop music that incorporated electronic and experimental music, mod, initially new wave was similar to punk rock, before becoming a distinct genre. It subsequently engendered subgenres and fusions, including synth-pop, college rock, common characteristics of new wave music include the use of synthesizers and electronic productions, the importance of styling and the arts, as well as diversity. In the mid-1980s, differences between new wave and other genres began to blur. New wave has enjoyed resurgences since the 1990s, after a rising nostalgia for several new wave-influenced artists, subsequently, the genre influenced other genres. During the 2000s, a number of acts explored new wave and post-punk influences, such as the Strokes, Interpol, Franz Ferdinand and these acts were sometimes labeled new wave of new wave. The catch-all nature of new music has been a source of much confusion. The 1985 discography Whos New Wave in Music listed artists in over 130 separate categories, the New Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock calls the term virtually meaningless, while AllMusic mentions stylistic diversity. New wave first emerged as a genre in the early 1970s, used by critics including Nick Kent and Dave Marsh to classify such New York-based groups as the Velvet Underground. It gained currency beginning in 1976 when it appeared in UK punk fanzines such as Sniffin Glue and newsagent music weeklies such as Melody Maker and New Musical Express. In November 1976 Caroline Coon used Malcolm McLarens term new wave to designate music by bands not exactly punk, the term was also used in that sense by music journalist Charles Shaar Murray in his comments about the Boomtown Rats. For a period of time in 1976 and 1977, the new wave. By the end of 1977, new wave had replaced punk as the definition for new music in the UK. As radio consultants in the United States had advised their clients that punk rock was a fad, like the filmmakers of the French new wave movement, its new artists were anti-corporate and experimental. At first, most U. S. writers exclusively used the new wave for British punk acts. Music historian Vernon Joynson claimed that new wave emerged in the UK in late 1976, in the U. S. the first new wavers were the not-so-punk acts associated with the New York club CBGB. CBGB owner Hilly Kristal, referring to the first show of the band Television at his club in March 1974, said, furthermore, many artists who would have originally been classified as punk were also termed new wave. A1977 Phonogram Records compilation album of the same name features US artists including the Dead Boys, Ramones, Talking Heads, New wave is much more closely tied to punk and came and went more quickly in the United Kingdom than in the United States

Cherry Red Records
–
Cherry Red Records is a British independent record label founded by Iain McNay in 1978. The label has released recordings by Dead Kennedys, Everything But the Girl, The Monochrome Set, in addition to releasing new music, Cherry Red also acts as an umbrella for individual imprints and catalogue specialists. Cherry Red is listed by Music Week as one of the UK’s top ten companies in Q12015 for sales of artist albums. Cherry Red grew from the promotion company founded in 1971 to promote rock concerts at the Malvern Winter Gardens. The latter was the labels biggest seller until McNay invested $10,000 in the recording of the studio album by San Franciscan political punk band Dead Kennedys. Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables and its attendant singles sold well worldwide, McNays view aimed for Cherry Red to be a label that offered a space for artists who would otherwise not fit the image of some of the more succinctly defined and stylised independents. Cherry Red Records was always about musical individuality, diversity, character, commitment and passion and they also marketed other smaller independent record labels, like Bristols Heartbeat Records, who recorded the Glaxo Babies. Cherry Reds role as one of the labels of the early 80s independent scene was confirmed by the success of a budget compilation album compiled by Alway. Retailing for 99p, Pillows & Prayers topped the independent charts for several weeks, Cherry Red continued to sign contemporary artists but increasingly moved into the reissue market from the late 1980s onwards. It has a number of subsidiary labels dealing in genre-specific releases, curating many critically unloved musical genres, the company has also signed agreements with a number of specialist reissue labels, which operate with a degree of autonomy using Cherry Reds logistical and financial support. Mark Stratfords RPM Records label focuses on pop music from the 1960s to the advent of punk, esoteric Recordings, headed by Mark Powell, specialises in progressive rock and folk catalogue. Mark Brennan heads 7Ts Records, which reissues albums by that decades glam/glitter generation, él Records continues under the auspices of Mike Alway, alongside other labels including Poker, Giant Steps, Mortarhate, Now Sounds, and Ork. In 2007, the company launched a television service, cherry red TV. It also publishes a magazine and an in-house publishing division. In early 2015, Cherry Red Records and PWL reissued the first four Kylie Minogue albums, Kylie, Enjoy Yourself, Rhythm Of Love and Lets Get To It, as deluxe CD/DVD and LP boxsets. In 2016 Cherry Red had their highest Top 40 chart position and they are also due to release the brand new studio album from Van Der Graaf Generator in September. In June 2008 the Pillows & Prayers box set won the Best Catalogue Release category at that years Mojo Honours.

The Best Sellers In Stores, Most Played by Jockeys and Most Played in Jukeboxes charts continued to be published concurrently with the new Top 100 chart. The week ending July 28,1958 was the publication of the Most Played By Jockeys and Top 100 charts. On August 4,1958, Billboard premiered one main all-genre singles chart, the Hot 100 quickly became the industry standard and Billboard discontinued the Best Sellers In Stores chart on October 13,1958.

Chicago house
–
Chicago house refers to house music produced during the mid to late 1980s within Chicago. The term is used to refer to the first ever house music productions. Following Chicagos Disco Demolition Night in mid-1979, disco musics mainstream popularity fell into decline, in the early 1980s, fewer and fewer disco records were being released, but the genre remained popular in some Chicago nightclubs and on at least one radio station, WBMX-FM. Some of these DJs also made and played their own edits of their songs on reel-to-reel tape. Some even mixed in effects, drum machines, and other rhythmic electronic instrumentation in an effort to give songs more appeal and these edits and remixes were rarely released to the public, and even then were available only on privately pressed vinyl records or on mixtapes. One DJ, Jesse Saunders, ran a vanity record label through which he released original dance music productions which emulated various popular styles of the day, in 1984, the label released, on 12-inch single, a song called On and On. Saunders composed the track with Vince Lawrence in order to replace a record which had stolen from Saunders collection. Saunders success with the relatively unpolished On & On inspired other Chicago DJs to try their hand at producing and releasing songs in a similar style. These producers were aided in their efforts by the availability of affordable, mass-produced electronic music instruments, including synthesizers, compact sequencers, drum machines, although there are conflicting accounts of the terms etymology, by 1985, house music was synonymous with these homegrown dance music productions. Mainstream record stores often did not carry it, as the records were not available through the record distributors. In Chicago, only record stores such as Importes Etc, state Street Records, JR’s Music shop and Gramaphone Records were the primary suppliers of this music. The Hot Mix 5 shows started with the launch in 1981. Trends in house music soon became subgenres, such as the lush, slower-tempo deep house, deep houses origins can be traced to Chicago producer Mr Fingerss relatively jazzy, soulful recordings Mystery of Love and Can You Feel It. Which, according to author Richie Unterberger, moved house music away from its posthuman tendencies back towards the lush sound of early disco music. Acid house arose from Chicago artists experiments with the squelchy Roland TB-303 bass synthesizer, and the styles earliest release on vinyl is generally cited as Phutures Acid Tracks. Phuture, a group founded by Nathan DJ Pierre Jones, Earl Spanky Smith Jr. the groups 12-minute Acid Tracks was recorded to tape and was played by DJ Ron Hardy at the Music Box, where Hardy was resident DJ. Hardy once played it four times over the course of an evening until the crowd responded favorably, the track also utilized a Roland TR-707 drum machine. Several house tracks became #1 hits on the UK Singles Chart, at least three styles of dancing are associated with house music, Footwork, Jacking, and Lofting
