A truly global chart show

It'll be interesting to see what sort of chart the link-up between Channel 4 Radio and Last FM will bring: the pledge is a truly global chart of what people are listening to, although the charts last.fm currently publishes aren't really that interesting: people are listening to the Arctic Monkeys and The Beatles.

There's a further promise that the link-up will offer:

The strategic alliance will see the parties working to identify new opportunities for music exploitation on digital platforms. Last.fm will be able to track and share the music that all 4Radio DJs are playing, allowing listeners registered on Last.fm to interact with shows and compare their own music taste with that of each DJ.

Although, to be honest, you could do that by listening to the shows, couldn't you?
