THE Official Chart Company has been blasted after it scrapped the Scottish singles chart. For years, alongside the top 40 for the UK as a whole, the firm has produced a weekly rundown of what Scots music fans are listening to. But last month they quietly dropped the Scottish hit parade, with the last chart produced on November 27. Scottish bands and music fans have now signed up to a petition urging the industry body to think again. Journalist and radio broadcaster Jim Gellatly tweeted: “It s very disappointing @officialcharts seem to have ditched the Scottish Chart. “It was a great platform for acts like @TheSnuts @LukeLaVolpe and @joshua grantt to boost their profiles with No.1 hits early in their careers.”
