I must bring to everyone's (particularly Mr Moyles) attention, something that has been overlooked. This is the blatant attempt at chart rigging recently by Mr Moyles by "persuading" the (gullible individuals) to download a particular Bille Piper record to boost its position in the chart listing.

This is nothing short of chart rigging. In years gone by when the likes of Mr Edmonds, Blackburn, Hamilton etc were radio disc jockeys this practise would be somewhat frowned upon if not breaking radio broadcasting moral ethics if not legality.

I have emailed Mr Moyles for his comments on this but he has not seen fit to reply - an admission of guilt one may say.

How can to days listening public take the record charts seriously when artificially hyped old records are being used to both increase Mr Moyles's own sense of BBC immortality and line the pockets of often meagre talented one hit wonder artists of yesteryear.

Surely one (if one had the inclination and money ) could bring quality vocal artists such as The Hollies, 10CC, The Beatles etc back into popularity by multiple downloading of past recordings.

I aim to seek legal guidance and contact both the BBC management team and OFCOM for this practise to be exposed for what it is. Maybe Mr Moyles has a financial interest in certain artists becoming chart hits.

I awsit his comments
