Oh no Im being thick - no idea why I said "not" :wacko:

 

I meant the sales are now stated as being "3"

:o 3?!?! Wonder what the hell they're doing with that. If it was taking sales away from Beat Again, I can see why they'd exclude it, but only if it was threatening Beat Again's position @ #1 (which it clearly isn't as Beat Again will be #1 easily).

 

If it's not taking sales away from BA, why is it excluded? Its all very odd, must be some sort of chart rule; I'm not surprised MW listed it yesterday though as they always show everything as a stand-alone entry in the Tuesday midweeks prior to any combining of songs in the Wednesday midweeks (remember it happening with Better In Time with the physical and download being listed separate in the Tuesday mids before being combined in the Wednesday mids).

Unless you count 'Diva's #72. :P

 

Technically it doesn't count cos it wasn't really an official single :D

 

But it did get reasonable TV airplay and was available to download so it wasn't at a huge disadvantage. It just generally didn't suit the UK market.

 

Currently, i can only think of Listen to chart lower than #15 but even that rebounded.

LOL at no Umbrella. :huh:

 

I predict that Pitbull is one step closer to Top 10. :kink:

 

Good to see GD in Top 40. :cheer:

Master Shortie (DE) 85-1

Melanie Fiona (GITMR) 40+2

Britney Spears (Radar) 130+2

Ciara (Work) 52+3

Metro Station (SF) 110-1

Thanks! :)

Go Chicane, VV, Greenday, Beyonce & shame to see Jordin not looking to get top 10 wth Battlefield. I hope it becomes a huge hit regardless of reaching 11 as its peak because its a good song that deserves it :D.

 

Ry Ry do you know where James Morrison - Nothing Ever Hurt Like You is & Red by Dan M :D

Yep, they've actually climbed 1 from the loss of JLS and overtaken Keri Hilson, but have dropped one due to Chicane overtaking.

You mean as in 3 units :mellow:

 

So where are the sales gone for umbrella :wacko: :blink: I'm completely lost surely they didn't add the sales to Beat Again, nah.... that can't be right, I'm so confused.com

 

I must be going thick in my old age....

Thought I'd leave a comment...

Apparently 'Umbrella' has been removed due to Rihanna's copyright restrictions.

Well it's clear Umbrella hasn't sold only 3 units because it's #18 on iTunes unless the majority of the top 100 have only sold 1 or 2 copies :lol:

 

I would say either Rihanna and co. have got it removed or there's a major cock-up with the music source thing

Source?

 

It's on digitalspy. It's either that or it has been removed by chart officials. Either way it's something to do with Rihanna's copyright restrictions.

I agree, they can't have added the sales to BA. That would be against chart rules, even if the single was a double A-side which AFAIK it isn't.

 

It must be excluded due to some chart rule. If that is the case though, why are the sales listed as "3" and not "0" or the actual sales it has generated so far so at least any user can track them? Or maybe, just maybe, the 3 sales are from last week (i.e. the track was available just prior to the cut-off point for last week's chart) and they've zeroed the sales for this week only, therefore showing a cumulative total of 3 all of which relate to last week? (RyRy could you check?)

 

What are BA's cumulative sales and do they tally with this week's sales so far?

I'm glad their version of 'Umbrella' has been removed, it's awful and has nothing on Rihanna's original. -_-

I'm on DS and can't find it. Can you provide a link please?

What gets me though, Umbrella had sales attached to it yesterday, it did 5.5k, the question is... where on earth did those sales go, you can't just strip a track of its sales, they must have gone somewhere, plus its still showing on iTunes, it has not been removed, people are still downloading it, so where are the sales going. :wacko: :blink: completely madness.

Although i like their version and think that it shouldn't have been removed, i totally agree with you that Rihanna's version is miles better (most probably because her vocals were so captivating and infectious :wub: )

But that doesn't answer where have all the sales have gone for the track, people are still downloading the JLS version, the sales must be there, its logical, if I went to download the track, that's a sale. The plot thickens...

Well, it wasn't No 1 for 10 weeks for nowt :) Modern classic..
