Autumn used to be a bumper time for the record industry, with the big guns lined up to fill the shelves of every high street between now and Christmas. Up to 60 per cent of the industry's annual sales would be forced through a pressure cooker of frenzied activity to sell as much as could be manufactured, distributed and sold in the precious 12 weeks up to Christmas. Guessing the Christmas number one is a great British institution.
