December 11, 200915 yr Thanks Dave Just got a job in London, so I know Christmas miracles do happen! So how's about Pet Shop Boys top 20 next week, and Olly to win the X Factor :kink:
December 11, 200915 yr RATM not Top60 No Muppets No George Michael even when he is listed #2 on pre-sales Chuckie/LMFAO not Top10 I reackon those are underestimate.
December 11, 200915 yr Lol @ Janet Jackson only making top 75 :lol: ..even despite the X Factor performance and her brother's death. :blink:
December 11, 200915 yr Great info as ever much appreciated , but I have to take umbrage at this quote by yourself: Lady Gaga on 63,000. Some 9000 more than the rubbish at #2 (and biggest con of the year). Take away the dvd, and it falls to #8, and didn`t actually make #1! So a charity record that it well within the OCC chart rules that actually has a quite brilliant video where a lot of effort and creativity has been put into it that makes an excellent stocking filler which donates 64.15% per sale to its designated and very deserving Children In Need charity is a bigger con that an awful cover of an old R.Kelly song made famous by Michael Jackson which paraded children from the Great Ormond Street Hospital on the prime time ITV show to promote the record which donates just 25p per sale to GOSH; Whilst most of the rest helps goes towards filling Simon Cowell's over full pockets which earnt him $157 million in 2008. Well I think most posters would disagree with your statement. I can't wait for next week's chart to see how George Michael & the Pet Shop Boys Christmas singles do. I expect to see Robbie Williams and Cheryl Cole receive a significant boost from appearing on ITV prime time over the weekend. Plus the anti-X-Factor RATM campaign in full swing could see an unlikely #2, behind an uninspired cover of some awful Disney dreck bought by 300-500K brain dead zombies. http://bobsaget.files.wordpress.com/2007/05/shaun-of-the-dead-zombies-small.jpg The X-Factor fanbase outside of their local supermarket 16/12/2009 awaiting to get their hands on a nondescript cover of a Miley Cyrus song

Well I think most posters would disagree with your statement. Got to address it properly...I mean that dvd sales should not count to the singles chart if they can not be played on a CD player. How is a dvd...a record? I do think the singles charts of today are a complete mess. Reflecting the average 12 year old only. Hence the state of Radio One`s Chart Countdown. Wouldn`t it be just great if it were like the old days of all ages buying singles?
December 11, 200915 yr Author RATM not Top60 No Muppets No George Michael even when he is listed #2 on pre-sales Chuckie/LMFAO not Top10 RATM will climb further by Sunday Obviously no Muppets...no downloads on them yet, not released until next week George Michael not released until Monday (again) Chuckie/LMFAO are top ten...If you look properly

Wouldn`t it be just great if it were like the old days of all ages buying singles?to be fair Dave, you can't play a vinyl record on a CD player... the format of delivery doesn't make a single less eligible for the chart. To me, they all count as singles regardless of method of delivery.
