Spice Girls - Mama The X Factor Finalists 2008 - Hero Artists Stand Up to Cancer - Just Stand Up! All because I liked the song. The charity will get so little profit off a £4 cd - or an 80p download. So I donate to the charity directly and then wait for the Comic relief song etc. to turn up on a Now.

Yeah this was back when there needed to be a physical CD still available for the downloads to count. When the rule was changed - and album tracks, prereleases and everything else were all allowed - Chasing Cars re-entered the charts. Possibly even in the top 10.

5 pts - Tommy Reilly - Gimme A Call 4 pts - Akon - Right Now 3 pts - Killers - Human 2 pts - MIA - Paper Planes 1 pt - Take That - Greatest Day

Would Amy be #1 if the two versions of the album were combined?

A new single released between albums. Or a new single that doesn't have an album following it very quickly. Razorlight released 'Somewhere Else' the summer after their first album. Then the next single and album didn't come out for another year after it.

No no no. The charts are the fairest reflection of the songs people buy that they've been for years. Yes, it's annoying that the same songs overstay their welcome but people are still buying them. We all complained when songs were excluded from the charts because they were download-only or because they had a free poster (for shame!). Now we complain because nothing's excluded. Basically, it's up to record companies to supply a wider range interesting product - and for radio stations to play them rather than playing 'Sweet About Me' AGAIN. That way, the charts still reflect what people buy - it's just people are buying a bigger range of stuff and the charts are more interesting again.
