Channel 4 is to launch a chart show, focusing on albums, which'll feature a number of performances filmed at London's Koko venue.
The show will be broadcast twice on Saturdays - once in the afternoon and then again after the pubs kick out - and will count down the top twenty albums each week. June Sarpong is apprently in the running for the presenter role. We'd rather Simon off Popworld ourselves, but whatever...
Neil McCallum, Channel 4's Commissioning Editor For Music, said:
"We are delighted to be doing an album chart show that features some of the finest live performers at such a fantastic venue as Koko, particularly at a time when sales and interest in the album chart are on such a high."
I'm afraid we can't say for sure when the show will begin its run, but when we do, you'll know...
