Why would you include sales that took place LAST WEEK in this week's charts for this single, but then no others? Stupid!!

Seems the powers that be at Embrace are nervous about their current situation
email from the mods at Embrace:

Hello Embrace forum users.

We need to keep the fantastic news about the Nature's Law midweek OFF the forum. The information is strictly embargoed by the chart commission and we don't want to end up in a situation like The Modern the other week when they're single was banned from the chart.

Feel free to discuss the midweek elsewhere, just not on the official forum.

Thanks for your understanding.

J McNamara

PS - Nature's Law out now! :o)

No the point being if it had been released on download & physical this week it would have been at 1....not 2 as it is this week

Any promotion is good publicity. But I do understand the dilemna.

The chart has become more of a game to use loopholes than whether you sell music.
I can envision a time when SALES and CHARTS have no connection whatsoever.
Ooops... it's here already, as Gnarls will tell you.
