Why would there be a version without the B-side?

 

 

Because the B-side is not eligible to chart, its a OCC error, that was not corrected in the morning version. I can't word it any better.

Why would there be a version without the B-side?

You only have to look at the iTunes Top 100 to see that Joe's B-side is nowhere in sight.

 

But, because the OCC are incompetent, they add digital bundle sales (and possibly physical sales) to the track listed as the B-Side, giving it a Top 40 placing.

 

So, halfway through the week, they remove the B-Side from the Top 40, then at the end of the week, they allocate the sales correctly in time for the Sunday chart.

 

 

 

 

:blink: Cliff Richard number 3 must be alot of grannies in there scooters going down to HMV.

Why is it surprising to you that Cliff Richard's album is top 3? Any album Cliff releases, promoted or not, is guaranteed at least #5, even in 2010.

 

Although this album I've heard nothing about at all, I don't think he even did a single.

He's only had two top 5 albums with new material in the last 20 years :P

 

Only reason he is top 3 is because album sales are still quite low, Robbie and Tinie aside. Still kudos to him for taking advantage and most probably grabbing his highest-charting album in 17 years :o

Cliff Richard is performing at the Royal Albert Hall for 6 days, expect his album to climb even further. :thumbup:

Who would want to listen to Cliff for six days?

Shame about The Ting Tings' brilliant new song, but not at all unsurprising as it's been criminally ignored almost everywhere

The production is brilliant but I think some of the lyrics especially the chorus let it down. I loved their first album because of how clever some of the songs were and this is just a good 80stastic song so it doesn't really stand out like their first album songs hence why its not doing so well.

 

Shame really as I really wanted it to do well. Seen them live and loved them, Katie is gorgeous up close :wub:

 

Lol at Joe though :lol:

Joe gets a good song yet a cheesey video and an x factor performance and doesn't get to number one... bit disappointed! Although a bit more promo could have helped!
Glad to see Coldplay climbing- would be great to hear it on the chart show on sunday :wub:

 

and Usher top 30 :puke: I thought we were finally rid of it :(

coldplay? which song is it? viva la vida again?

Just *how* close are we talking? :naughty:

 

I am disappointed at how weakly the single is selling, too.

 

PS, what has happened to their album - I assumed it would follow immediately after the single, to catch the Xmas market?

Surely joe wont hold at #4 despite being #9 on itunes and probably lower by saturday..

Surprised Joe has not fallen from his position at #4. Must be his physicals that's keeping it at #4

 

 

Ting Tings OUCH, I can see it just charting inside the top 40 only just by Sunday. They don't seem to be that popular now.

 

 

I knew the ting tings wouldnt repeat their success, it was so obvious..

According to the Press Association, the OCC has said Robbie's album is outselling the rest of the Top 5 albums combined. :D I would love it to outsell Eminem's 140K first week but I doubt it will sell more than 120K. It's great to see the Special Edition with the B-sides/Rarities CD selling so well too - so many fantastic songs on that third disc inlcuding the criminally underrated and brilliant Top 10 hit ''My Culture' with One Giant Leap :wub:

 

It's shocking how poorly Joe is doing considering. Apart from the XF performance I have not heard the song on radio or seen it on TV though. :huh:

Looks like joe wont get top 5, which is quite funny considering his video has been out a couple of weeks, and he performed on x-factor.

Its quite embarresing considering Jedward got number 2! :| With no x-factor performance, and their video was released around about the same week as the single! :|
