	Wikipedia: UK Singles Chart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To add to the confusion, the chart used by the BBC on their popular shows Pick of the Pops and Top Of The Pops was actually calculated by averaging out all the others, and so didn't agree with any of them, and was prone to tied positions.
		There were also charts, such as that used in the mid 1960s by the "pirate" station Radio London (the "Fab 40"), which, because of the size of the audience, were influential, but were essentially playlists and bore no relation to sales.
		Singles that climb the charts and spend a number of weeks at a high position are now rare, and usually denote 'super' singles, which manage to enter the public consciousness and appeal to a wide range of people.

	The new UK digital singles chart tries to avoid the old hype - currybetdotnet - 7 January, 2007
		From Percy Dickins’s first UK Singles Chart back in 1952, through the rock'n'roll years, the swinging sixties and the bulk of the 70s it was all pretty straight-forward.
		The single ruled supreme, and I spent a good chunk of my childhood pretending to be a radio DJ doing chart countdowns armed only with a record-deck equipped with an auto-changer, and my dad's pretty comprehensive set of great singles from the 50s and 60s.
		The singles chart in the UK is nowhere near as important to me now as it used to be, but that is partly a function of age and distance.

	Downloads to transform UK singles chart
		The most dramatic change to the charts taking place on 1st January is the lifting of transitional rules which have meant that downloads have only been included in the Official Singles Chart if a physical format of the song is also made available.
		For the past 54 years a single was a track selected by a record company to be pressed on plastic and distributed to stores on a particular date.
		Alongside the rule change for downloads, the Official UK Charts Company is also relaxing one of the restrictions on physical singles in a move which is expected to boost sales and lead to a revival of the EP.

	International Market Research - UK MUSIC SINGLES CHART TO INCLUDE MUSIC DOWNLOADS — MAY 2004
		Official UK Charts Company has been working with record labels to stop record businesses downloading their own singles to boost their chart positions — a technique known as ‘hyping’.
		UK download sales already account for 10% of total singles sales and are growing rapidly.
		Singles that may not be on mass release or readily available in the UK but have a large following could quite possibly benefit from this move.

		The change means songs can make it as chart hits even if retailers have no CD version to stock.
		The singles chart has, theoretically at least, become a “tracks chart,” with any recorded song that is available online factored in – from current favourites such as Leona Lewis to all-time favourites such as Jerry Lee Lewis.

		The singles chart has, theoretically at least, become a "tracks chart," with any recorded song that is available online factored in - from current favourites such as Leona Lewis to all-time favourites such as Jerry Lee Lewis.
		It is more likely, therefore, that the digital releases charting most prominently will be those from current acts who enjoy the marketing might of their record labels and the airplay that goes with it.
		The Official UK Charts Company, which compiles the 54-year-old weekly bar-ometer, first computed digital sales in April 2005, so long as a CD version was available at the same time.

		Their third single, "The Power Of Love" did not quite manage to equal the success of its predecessors, but spent a week at the top and was only knocked off by Band Aid, which went on to sell over 3.5 million copies.
		Their first single only reached #17 in the UK charts in 1962, but by 1969, they had scored that many UK #1's, become a global phenomenon and clocked up 7 million selling singles in the UK, of which their first was their largest.
		It is extremely difficult for an act to replace themselves at the top of the UK charts seeing as one single must be popular enough to last at the top until the next song is released, however releases can come quicker due to posthumous releases and re-issues marking certain occasions, including deaths of an act.

		Black Eyed Peas and NeYo charted* early as a result, and on April 2 2006, "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley became the first song to top the charts on music download sales alone[1].
		As part of the revised rules, singles would now be removed from the chart two weeks after the deletion of the physical formats, which meant "Crazy" fell out of the chart nine weeks later from number 5.
		Crazy Frog, no stranger to controversy and hate, snatched the top spot in early 2005 with Axel F, much to the displeasure of Coldplay, whose single "Speed Of Sound" had been outsold 3 to 1, and many tabloids and the general public, who felt that it had achieved a Number 1 through advertising overkill.

		The new single from Thom Yorke was new in at 23, which when you consider how much more mass press he and Radiohead get that Moz is someewhat of a surprise.
		Basically, singles are supposed to be adverts for the album, and nothing by Moz that charts outside the top 10 or 15 will have been bought by anyone other than hardcore fans, so it's a bit of a pointless exercise really.
		Most of the bands in the charts are shit anyway, and the people who listen to that music must be idiots if they think that is music.
