Also it can be used as a discussion thread on the whole subject. I must admit they are beginning to be a pain in the arse lately, especially with newer albums, on the plus side its higher sales, but can be annoying seeing the likes of Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith dominating the top 5 week on week.

I think it could be a good idea for artists who are struggling to get top 10 that week. If Tove Lo manages to sell her album for 99p for one day next week I'm sure that would ensure that she got a very high peak as it always manages to shift a couple of hundred / thousand copies.

I actually agree. There is 1 album I really want at the moment Ciara's album I know the album will struggle, if the album was 99p for a day it could benefit having a higher position by the end of the week.
