You're right, Peter. The new book lists the record label and catalogue number, except in the case of a download-only track - where it states "Download." e.g. Sugababes "Denial" - download ...which of course it wasn't! If the track has a peak position of #40 or above it will have its Top 40 weeks listed against it. If it doesn't go Top 40 it has no weeks listed whatsoever. If a track re-enters under the same catalogue its initial entry is all that is listed, even if a track may repeak on a subsequent occasion. Re-issues, re-mixes and imports are listed separately. Descriptions of acts are limited: e.g. Girls Aloud - UK group and no weeks in chart totals are listed for the acts in this book either.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Sugababes' "Denial" wasn't download only was it? The book says it was. If wrong, there's your first error! EDIT: What's the cut-off date for the book? *confused*

I think Alesha could be heading for #2 with her single (I would have said #1, but Help For Heroes will almost certainly be in the way).

These are great. I found these a couple of weeks back whilst searching for OMD. I've listened to 1981 in its entirety now. Fantastic stuff.

Aah.. but it also has the evergreen favourite "All I Want For Christmas Is You" on it as a bonus track! :D

Glad to see my AC/DC prediction on Haven is vindicated here! Interesting that two compilations take the top spot though. Surprised to see Geraldine as high as #7 in singles - I'm guessing this will be outside the Top 10 by Sunday, mind.
