I asked last sunday when it was published that they had entered at #49, but as I got no answer, I'll try it again.

 

CSF was #74 in itunes on Sunday 17th and peaked at #51 on Saturday 23rd. It was rising between these positions during the week.

 

I looked in other minor download sites like HMV digital and they were top 90, no sign of the song in Tesco or Woolworths.

 

How come do they end up in #49 in the combined chart???? They did not even reach 49 on iTunes alone until yesterday!

 

If you look at Sugababes new single, Denial, it was between 90 and 82 in iTunes during the week, and even higher than CSF on HMV.

 

They entered at #138 in last Sunday chart. That's 90 places of difference when the difference in iTunes was of about 30 spots.

 

 

Anyone got an answer to this????? Thank you very much.

Napster might be selling it well :unsure:

People are downloading the album track, don't forget people like to cherry pick tracks of albums, that's why its hardly registering on download sites. I'm sure someone can word it better.

And i don't think Itunes works the way you think it does. When you look at the charts, at the end of Saturday, the charts go back to the beginning whereas on Itunes i think its done by popularity, as in it doesn't have a cut off day. That means a song which may have slowly climbed up the itunes chart because its popularity has been getting stronger whereas other songs popularity is weaker. I think this is how it works. Basically it just keeps fluxuatating and is more of a stable of how popular a song is, not where its gonna chart

Yes. itunes s more complex than people think. If not a single person downloaded duffy this week, it would probably be thursday or friday before she moved off no1.

The iTunes chart is based on 24 hour sales though, if no one downloaded Duffy it wouldn't be in the chart.
