The Alternative Top 40 is a monthly music chart shared across multiple music blogs, and a great way of discovering music you might not have heard elsewhere. You can contribute to the #AltTop40 by simply naming your favourite tracks of the moment - for full details of how to nominate music, see the latest post about the chart at Universal Horse.
The Alt Top 40 is not based on sales, or radio play – or, indeed, any form of objective measure. Instead, anyone who wants can simply tell us the tracks they want to see in the chart, and the more people we hear about a track from, the higher up it goes. So there are two ways that you can contribute to and directly influence future editions of the Alternative top 40:

If you have a website, zine, podcast or similar and would like to host the chart there too, get in touch at alternativetop40@gmail.com. Firstly, if you tell us what you think are the best 5 tracks in the world this week, we’ll compile them into the next edition of the chart. At the end of this post there’s a contact form where you can fill your choices in, or just email your selection to alternativetop40@gmail.com - best one first. You can pick anything you like – from any time, and any place – with the exception of your own music or a band you work for. Five is the maximum: if you can only think of a couple you want to name, send them in anyway. The deadline for the July chart is midnight on Sunday July 6th...
This month's chart was shaped by
DrunkenWerewolf - God Is In The TV - Neon Filler – RW/FF - Monolith Cocktail
