Chris with a Number 1 Single? (or a top 75 hit at least)#400494

Is there a chance that a song of the Parody Album could enter the charts? Say one of the songs is downloaded enough times of off itunes, will it enter the chart?

I could just imagine Reggie on the Chart Show: "And a new entry at number 39, it's Chris Moyles, Camilla Ice and Calvin Harris with their hit Dance Wiv Me!"

“And for those people who are thinking “Jesus it’s just a radio show, stop banging on about it” You don’t get it. And for everyone else who does get it, you know, it’s all about me!”

I think there is a Christmas single planned? If so, I imagine that will chart - possibly very creditably.

If it's available to download then yes it's very possible.

'Dog's don't kill people, wabbits do' reached number one a while back.

They're both the same now though aren't they? They both contribute to the overall charts?

I think downloads contribute to the main chart, but there's also a download chart... or iTunes have their own chart, one of the two.

I *think* that was before downloads were integrated into the main chart, but I'm not 100% on that...anyway. No reason at all why Chris can't have a chart hit - I'd say there's a good chance he will.

Correct I believe, the reason they integrated downloads into the main chart was because the sales of CD singles had dropped dramatically

Downloads used to only contribute to the chart if a CD-single version was also available to buy. Therefore popular album tracks couldn't appear in the singles chart.

However, as someone mentioned, due to a decline in CD sales any song available for download can now top the singles chart.

Yep, the download chart was totally seperate then and Chris' song was ineligible for the normal singles chart.

Also, 'Dogs Don't Kill People...' (which was novelty and download-only) had the advantage of competing with "normal" single downloads at a time when (I think) single downloads were not yet as popular as they are now.

I really hope that he'll do well with this parody album though, given all the publicity and hard work.

So which record company did he get to pay for the recording/PR/distribution etc.. of the album?

And lets be honest, Chris will ensure the album is suitably publicised to all CM listeners, if half of them buy/download a copy, he'll top the charts....

What a great stocking filler though for people this christmas, I know i'll be buying multiple copies to give to people as gifts.

I've actually met Chris n shook his hand. This fact is still causing slight issues in my trouser dept.... :wink:

Given that an early morning championing of John Barrowman singing "I made it through the rain" got it into the top 20, it wouldn't be a massive surprise.
