January 10, 201313 yr The OC C are now saying that they are not changing the rules just because it is David Bowie. They say in a tweet that Madonna (to use their example) would have charted if they had been given the data "The rules are the same this week as they were for MDNA.If sales data is delivered to us from the retailer, it will be counted" I agree with what they state, tbh. And also brit.i.am is back at No.1 on iTunes when combined, so I don't think David Bowie will be able to top the charts come Sunday. It'll be interesting to see how much it'd have faired, though. I hope MW provides the info.

I thought it was Milward Brown's job to collate sales & deliver them to the chart company....Thank goodness I know people, that can deliver charts, that make sense. What a joke. You look round to see what #1 is & the record has been ignored this week! What a great Country, we live in. Or is it Cuntry?!

Or is it Cuntry?! brit.i.am is already back at No.1 with its main version, so even if elegible, I don't think David Bowie stands a chance to top the charts come Sunday.

It wouldn't have got to #1 anyway... :huh: With S&S selling 24k before Wednesday, it would be on course for 55-60k for the week. With it selling 8k a day on average, Bowie would have had to have been selling consistantly over 10k every day this week and since it's already dropped (pretty quickly actually) it has ZERO chance.
January 10, 201313 yr It will be interesting to see where Bowie would have charted if the rules allowed it to, my reckoning is something like #8, which would have been his first T10 hit for almost 20 years - missed opportunity there. :( Got to say I agree with the OCC standing their ground, not necessarily with the rule though of course.

Surely the real target of your anger should be his record company, not the OCC - they *knew* the rules, yet chose to release the song in such a way they knew would make it ineligible! Besides, if you're a Bowie fan you're gonna buy the album *anyway*, therefore pre-ordering is irrelevant... Edited January 11, 201313 yr by vidcapper
January 11, 201313 yr The OC C are now saying that they are not changing the rules just because it is David Bowie. They say in a tweet that Madonna (to use their example) would have charted if they had been given the data "The rules are the same this week as they were for MDNA.If sales data is delivered to us from the retailer, it will be counted" So basically, if data is sent to the OCC as individual track purchases and pre-order data is left with iTunes (so if they were split), then the track would be able to chart seperately. But as all data is being sent to OCC, the exclude it. Makes sense to me as if it charts, more could possibly be intended for the album than single, or vice versa.
January 11, 201313 yr Exactly, for once this isn't the OCC to blame. Blame I tunes or the record company if you will, the OCC are trying to be fair to all
January 11, 201313 yr Wait, so is the info that's sent to the OCC split between track downloads and album pre-orders? Because if it is, it's their fault - simple as.
January 11, 201313 yr Update is in, yes Brit stans, Scream & Shout is #1 :rolleyes: Has Bowie charted at all?

January 11, 201313 yr The only reason I wanted David Bowie to be eligible was that Scream and Shout is such an awful song.
January 11, 201313 yr The only reason I wanted David Bowie to be eligible was that Scream and Shout is such an awful song. It wouldn't have stopped it from getting the No.1 spot, though. So you have the right to remain pressed :P
