I found a link on the BBC News website from 4th Feb 2009 (I don't have enough posts to post a link) which explains the difference between the specialist classical chart (100% classical to qualify) and the ordinary classical chart (60% classical to qualify), but it still doesn't help me to understand why Joe McElderry's Classic doesn't qualify for the ordinary classical chart :huh:

Thought I'd seen somewhere that 60% of the album had to be classical to be eligible for the classical charts, but not sure where. Does anyone know if that's true?

Fair point, but since X Factor he's done Pop Star to Opera Star, he's now signed to a classical label (Universal Classic and Jazz) and 8 out of the 12 tracks on Classic are either opera or classical crossover songs.

Random question but does anyone happen to know why Joe McElderrys Classic album isn't eligible for the classic charts?

Thanks for the update :D Would anyone happen to know any sales figures of the top 5 since the monday update...or how close it is in terms of sales?

Thank you :heart: Been searching for about 3,000 years. I assumed (I know you shouldnt assume) that they gave daily figures but must just be weekly. Least I know where to look :P

Morning :yahoo: Does anyone know where the sales figures are hidden within MW? I've never been able to find them.

Teenage hormones :cheer:

Anyone know the difference in sales between 2 and 3? Just out of curiosity? :D
