October 26, 200618 yr Author Damn right they are. She'll get coal if she's lucky. Good idea. Functional and easy to wrap.
November 10, 200618 yr Author All tracks will be eligible for the singles chart as of this January. So 'Christmas' should make at least the top 75 in 2007.
November 11, 200618 yr Author :o Are you sure? Yep. There was a thread in the Chart forum. James Masterton then wrote at length about it.
November 11, 200618 yr Author Isn't there like a rule about how old the song is though :unsure:? That's going too. So songs can stay on the chart for more than 52 weeks now. So I assume that songs that are older than 52 weeks are eligible too. That may be worth checking though. This is the extract from James Masterton's commentary: "At the end of last week something big happened. A nondescript press release from the Official Charts Company announced that the final stage of the digital revolution will take place in the new year. From January 1st 2007 the rule tying a downloaded single to its physical equivalent will vanish. If a track sells, the singles chart will rank it - effectively turning the UK chart into a "songs" listing in the same manner as the US Hot 100 is already. For the haters of the "one week before release and two weeks after deletion" rule which in the past year has led to Top 10 selling singles not actually appearing in the Top 10 it is very welcome news. It should also mean the singles chart becomes the most democratic it has ever been. For the first time the record industry will not control what does and doesn't count as a "hit". In the past year golden oldies from the likes of Mariah Carey and Kate Bush have charged into the iTunes Top 10 but did not register on the singles chart - a situation that will not exist next year. Keep counting the weeks until the new year. At that point we're going to have to learn the singles market all over again." He mentions Mariah explicitly - so I guess 'Christmas' will be eligible next year.
November 12, 200618 yr Author Oooh imagine the chart run this track will have 2020. :lol: Indeed: 20-8-X-20(RE-50)-8-X-20(RE-50)-8 The chart purists will hate it!
November 12, 200618 yr Indeed: 20-8-X-20(RE-50)-8-X-20(RE-50)-8 The chart purists will hate it! I know! That's why I love it! :wub:
November 12, 200618 yr I wonder if it will make top 10... maybe Sony will do a single re-release of it too?
