L'SHANA TOVAH: HERE'S WHYHITS WILL BE COMING OUT ON MONDAYS FROM NOW ON

With the Friday global release date, we're all transitioning from a Tuesday business to a Friday business. So we're changing our magazine publication schedule.

Henceforth we'll be putting the magazine to bed when the charts are finalized and speeding it your way for Monday delivery, with a fresh chart as well as our usual editorial crapola—er, news and information. We'll be updating you on chart developments in the ensuing days via HITS Daily Double and Rumor Mail eblasts.

In other words: Same crap, different day. You're welcome.

For you Goyim, the first half of the above headline is a greeting related to Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, a time of renewal when we dip apples in honey in hopes of a sweet year. As the High Holidays approach, commencing the Days of Awe that will end with Yom Kippur, it seems an apt moment to pause, reflect and tell you when you'll be getting our lousy magazine.
