Posted September 6, 200717 yr Can anyone tell me which stores' sales (especially online stores) count towards the UK album and singles charts? Also if you can tell me which online stores definetely don't count towards the UK charts that would be good too! Thanks!
September 6, 200717 yr Play.com, don't count, anything that is shipped from Jersey, but I could be wrong, hopefully someone can answer you
September 6, 200717 yr Play.com, don't count, anything that is shipped from Jersey, but I could be wrong, hopefully someone can answer you HMV.com is shipped from Guernsey, do they count?
September 6, 200717 yr Download sites that submit sales data for inclusion in the chart are - HMV, Tesco Downloads, Virgin Digital, I-Tunes, 7 Digital, Xpress Beats, BeatPort, Napster, Woolworths, Wippit, Easy Music, The Music Engine, Karma Download, Bleep. Retail stores vary but the following do submit data - HMV, Virgin, Woolworths and most independent retailers. Hope that helps :)
September 7, 200717 yr No I don't think Play.com do as they ship from Jersey. Also CD-WOW deffinitely don't count as their most US Imports anyway (no bonus tracks - most the time)
September 7, 200717 yr so does play.com or not? x Neither Play.com or CD Wow submit sales data for inclusion in the charts.
September 7, 200717 yr No I don't think Play.com do as they ship from Jersey. Also CD-WOW deffinitely don't count as their most US Imports anyway (no bonus tracks - most the time) does that rule out HMV.com?
September 7, 200717 yr Author Thanks everyone. So does Amazon.co.uk count for sales - and what about hmv.com?
September 8, 200717 yr Last I heard, hmv.com does count. I read it on an OCC PDF or something like that!
October 5, 200717 yr Thanks everyone. So does Amazon.co.uk count for sales - and what about hmv.com? amazon.co.uk do count. hmv.com online I believe are off shore and therefore don't count. Buying from an HMV stores of course is fine ;)
October 5, 200717 yr Last I heard, hmv.com does count. I read it on an OCC PDF or something like that! Would be interested to see such a document. HMV would seem to be Guernsey http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/navigate.do?ct...mp;pPageID=1071
October 6, 200717 yr http://www.theofficialcharts.com/docs/Info...202007%20v2.pdf Which retailers contribute sales data to the chart? 'The retailers on the Chart Panel include all the major high street chains such as HMV, WH Smith, Virgin and Woolworth’s, Supermarkets such as Tesco and Asda, as well as a large number of Internet Retailers such as Play and Amazon. Major digital Music retailers such as iTunes, Napster, eMusic and mobile download providers like 3 and Orange are also a valuable part of the Chart Panel.' On that document there is a HMV.co.uk logo which suggested the site counted as does its high street store... maybe people interpret it differently... anyway check out the document.
