Founder and webmaster of Chartmasters, tasks Guillaume lead include estimates of album sales and digital sales plus the writing of articles.

Role:                      VP Monster sellers
From:                     UK
Favorite Artist:       Led Zeppelin

Even with Guillaume, Hernan and Anthony actively working on it, publishing articles of monster sellers is always an extensive task. As a result, we still haven’t tried Frank Sinatra who will require a titanic work. Martin is a Rock fan. Coupled with his interest for accuracy and charts & sales, he aims to complete researches on all major sellers. He joined us on that mission to prevent articles on these artists from freezing the website for too long!


Name:                    Raffi
Role:                      Spokesman
From:                     Hong Kong
Favorite Artist:       Mariah Carey

One of our first dedicated readers, Raffi is now part of our team. For many months he was always the first one commenting all articles with very detailed messages. Not to mention he was the first to point out every typo, even the less obvious ones. His interest in all artists, his understanding of CSPC’s mechanics and his ability to explain nicely everything does wonders in the comments section. He answers various comments, acting as our spokesman. Feel free to ask for detailed information as he can access all our Excel sheets when needed!


Name:                    Stephen James
Role:                      VP Update – Divas
From:                     Mexico
Favorite Artist:       Britney Spears

His highly-educated comments on Spears’ articles have made Stephen one of our well-known readers. Considering how many relevant artists are still missing on our CSPC studies, the already published content is rarely updated in spite of your requests. To make up for this issue, Stephen stepped in to update articles on Divas / Pop Culture stars on a much more regular basis!


Name:                    Thomas Christiansen
Role:                      VP Update – Classic Rock
From:                     Denmark
Favorite Artist:       AC/DC

Known for many years online as Dane, the dedication of Thomas to collect information about artists with a long-lasting appeal is impressive. While Stephen does his best to answer the huge demand for updates on divas, legendary Rock stars who sold mind-blowing quantities of records are equally important. As a fan of the genre himself, Thomas takes care of these updates. Moreover, he can also take the lead on writing some of the articles.
