Completely missed the chart show so wow at David Bowie charting! Would be nice if the OCC would revise the sales totals for all of the songs that fell foul of this rule previously!

 

Sales *totals* do include sales that were ineligible to contribute to a *weekly* chart position.

Any specific reason why Abba Gold is up more than 50 places to No. 51 in the last couple of weeks? (Besides the obvious fact that people are still buying it in large numbers 20 years later?!!) :)

While i am more than happy to see Bon Jovi back in the top 40 im disappointed its not on a higher position, i hope it can manage a 2nd week top 75 now.

'Teenage Dream' dropping out from #44 is bizarre, I thought it had gone to the budget chart but the OCC website for this week's chart reveals it actually dropped 44-101 (and then returned to the top 100 this week)!

 

I hope I've got the hit counts for Bowie and Bon Jovi correct :P
