How new is new ?

The Witchfinders of Ofcom want to re-define "New" Music on Radio 1 and 2. Here's their proposal, designed to biff chart-toppers.

A music track is to be considered “New Music” for a period of either: 
(a) 12 months from first release (whether by physical, radio, download or streaming means), or 
(b) 6 weeks after it enters the Top 20 of the UK Official Singles Chart whichever is sooner.

Next will come a new quota for Radio 1, from 45% to at least 50% 'New Music' in daytime. Busybodies.
