SyCo/Sony specifically requested that the performances be chart ineligible to avoid influencing the competition and compromising the narrative of the TV show.

When did they start ignoring 3" CD sales? In 1998, Garbage's 3" CD format for "Push It" counted towards its chart entry, as the Music Week chart commentary on the charting week specifically mentions the percentage of the sales that the 3" CD generated. The other 5 3" CDs were not counted because they were a fourth format so released a week after the other formats, in addition to exceeding running time. I'm pretty sure Catatonia had a 3" CD for their 1999 lead single too.

To be fair to I Believe In You's sales, the album it was on was released two weeks before it and has sold a million copies in the UK. Perhaps just Kylie's fanbase felt the need to buy the CD single and everyone else was content with their copy of Ultimate Kylie. Also it *was* 2004.

If often wondered if the cumulitive sales stated by TOCC ever include sales from shops which dont report sales for the charts (a lot of indie shops), and if this explains why the totals given by TOCC and Music Week dont always match sales figures released by labels, etc. (apart from the obvious reason of sales embellisment). And what about when shops sell import albums instead of the UK pressing (parrallell importing, which was much more prevalent in the 90s before UK labels started pressing discs with UK-only bonus tracks). Are those figures included in either the charts or cumulitive totals?

Thats strange why it would be in that book about Garbage if there was others predating it by a decade.

Just checked for clarity 30/05/1992 Shut Up And Dance ''Raving I'm Raving'' {2}-15->2 05/10/2002 Garbage ''Shut Your Mouth'' {20}->1 Garbage must have been the first single to spend a single week in the Top 20 and then not appear in the Top 75 again. It's mentioned in a few editions of the Guinness Book of Hit Singles, but I think I forgot the single week part. Not the most enviable chart record to have.

Shut Your Mouth was in fact the very first single to drop out of the top 75 directly from the top 20. In all fairness, it was a limited edition single of 15K copies and it hung around the 75-80 mark for its second and third week.

Garbage released five 3" CD singles from 1998-1999. Subsequently a few other artists released them, Catatonia a year later sticks out in my mind. In 1999, Suede released Electicity as a MiniDisc single, and if memory serves right, it was the first one to be allowed to count towards the Singles Chart.
