I heard on the grapevine, that Great DJ by the Tings Tings was disqualified from the chart because, there were a lot of free downloads given away. Can anyone confirm this? :unsure:

but it was only a demo version that was free, and that track features on the NME disk as well - would this count?

I also find it strange that it was on iTunes, as a download up to 24, yesterday. :o

If it is True that is! lol

I haven`t been able to confirm this at all. I have spoken to Dave Taylor, but he doesn`t know either, but tells me that there was a printing error on yesterdays mrib chart. It should be that URBNRI record at 36, not The Ting Tings, he thinks. As Great DJs is at 26, at the moment on iTunes, I would expect it to be in the top 75 singles chart. Looking round the web, it doesn`t say anything, about the song being disqualified. The physical release is on the 3rd March. So, we will have to wait, and see what happens, in the meantime. The download has 2 tracks on it, and is declared an e.p.

It was the free download that got it to #26 on iTunes though, wasn't it. Therefore it would be ineligible, when properly released it should be allowed to chart
