December 4, 200817 yr Sales for today's mids: 85.5k Looking like hitting 150k almost on the nose :) that's impressive :D
December 4, 200817 yr Author Also, has Catfights and Spotlights gone up since Tuesday's midweek position? We only have top 40 updates after Tuesday
December 4, 200817 yr Any news on Lemar and PCD - Hate this part :D Lemar single down 9, album not top 40 PCD down 2
December 4, 200817 yr Leona is so gona push britney to 4 by sunday aswell. Good that GA are still no9, fan-dabby!
December 4, 200817 yr im not desprate im sick of these people taking the p*** out of oasis !! Whoops sorry, thought this was an oasis fan free zone. Anyway, it was more about it being at #1 at the start of the week, when everyone was going "WTF".
December 4, 200817 yr Leona is so gona push britney to 4 by sunday aswell. I'm not so sure. There were only 54 copies between them yesterday with Leona rapidly closing the gap yet Britney is still ahead today. There was talk that Britney was suffering from the stocking problems after EUK went into administration with some stores having received no advance supplies so maybe that's been addressed. Wonder if some albums are starting to benefit from the Amazon MP3 Store launch which received huge publicity yesterday. They're selling some of the top albums for just £3 there - Take That, Girls Aloud, Kings Of Leona, Snow Patrol but not others such as Britney, Leona. Edited December 4, 200817 yr by 6weeksatnumber7

I also wonder if Britney is starting to benefit from the Amazon MP3 Store launch which received huge publicity yesterday. They're selling her album for just £3 there (along with some of the other new releases) but Leona's deluxe isn't available from the online store. Does anyone know if these hugely discounted albums will be allowed to count for the chart?
December 4, 200817 yr Does anyone know if these hugely discounted albums will be allowed to count for the chart? I thought there was £5 rule in place but having a nagging suspicion that they might have lowered that for digital albums earlier this year.
December 4, 200817 yr I thought there was £5 rule in place but having a nagging suspicion that they might have lowered that for digital albums earlier this year. Oh right, there must be a way of finding out. It would be a shame if they didn't count because I can see Amazon clocking up huge sales with this offer. There are several albums I'm planning to get - 3 for the price of one physical :D
December 4, 200817 yr Great to see Will's album as climbed 9 places this week especially with all the new entries :cheer:
December 4, 200817 yr This was posted by Nicola on Devoted: 3.3 Albums Chart: Budget Albums Budget albums are excluded from the published Album Charts and are shown on the printed chart report with their sales index and asterisks (***) in place of a chart position.http://www.theofficialcharts.com/docs/OCC_...es_Edition9.pdf I thought there was £5 rule in place but having a nagging suspicion that they might have lowered that for digital albums earlier this year. If that's so then it makes a nonsense out of the whole thing. A reduced cd is just that - surely - regardless of format and all should be included in the rules. Edited December 4, 200817 yr by munchkin
December 4, 200817 yr But that surely means older CDs and cheap compilations and such, not new releases?
December 4, 200817 yr Just looked it up on the OCC site: 3.0: Albums Definitions Summary Product Dealer Price ___________________________________________________________________________ a. Physical Albums (Budget) 0.50 - 3.75 (Mid price) 3.76 - 5.99 (Full price) 6.00 or over b. Digital Albums (Full price) 3.75 or over For market share purposes a digital variant meeting the above minimum dealer price will be allocated as a full-price album. ========= So Budget physicals are excluded but mid and full price aren't. Depends if dealer price refers to the price it is sold to the customer or by the record company to Amazon. I've emailed the OCC for clarification and will post any reply if I get it, but my reading of it is the minimum price must be: Physical £3.76 Digital £3.75 Edited December 4, 200817 yr by 6weeksatnumber7
