Posted June 16, 200817 yr Does anyone know what the official line is with this exclusion? It seems really odd, surely EMI can't decide not to let it chart? This could be the bands first UK number 1 single and is excellent publicity for the album. I will be annoyed if it is the biggest seller this week and not get the number 1 slot :wacko:
June 16, 200817 yr Well, the only expalanation is: It was NCQ at the start of the week, but became eligibale part way through the week as an album track. I can only think the OCC excluded all versions for last week due to not being eligible all week. If its NCQ again this week, I may e-mail the OCC for an explanaation <_>

June 16, 200817 yr Author wahoo, who else thinks number 1?? Could be their week. What with Brixton & Radio1 support this week :cheer:
June 16, 200817 yr James Masterso said that was why and it should appear tomorrow... Yeah, I think someone else said it too....
June 16, 200817 yr Aah, just posted something about this in the Chart Commentaries forum, hang on Still curiously missing is the semi-title track 'Viva La Vida' which has for some weeks been one of the most popular online singles. It was previously disqualified from the singles chart owing to its status as a "free" track, downloadable as a down payment for those who had pre-ordered the album. We all expected this restriction to have lifted this week once the offer was withdrawn, but it was ruled that as the track had begun the sales survey ineligible it had to remain that way for this week's chart. Tentatively scheduled for a proper physical release sometime soon, the track should be free to chart next week which as far and away the best thing the often annoying band have ever recorded is nothing less than it deserves.

June 17, 200817 yr I'd love for this to be number 1 next week I haven't even heard it - I don't listen to the radio (except for the chart show), and since there's no video, won't have seen it on Sky. So... I had to 'Youtube' it - but IMO Violet Hill is far better. Edited June 17, 200817 yr by vidcapper
