Relight my fire... dum de dum

great moment in pop when lulu starts all that "woooooah you gotta be strong enough..." ranting.

[jameseuk]

I thought they were already counting legal downloads along with CD sales in the 'official' top 40, and just did a seperate one that was downloads only.

not to my knowledge.

[Dickie]

Jamese, that 'be rewarded' web-site in your sig doesn't deserve to be on the internet.

[Ickle Angel]

The colour is awful :S

[Toast]

Ever heard of HTML?

[jameseuk]

I know bits of HTML & the Be Rewarded site is Under Construction if you look

Lastly why r the 3 of u going off topic?

Is your knowledge supposed to mean something? I mean it isn't to my knowledge that someone in Iraq just did a turd as relevant as your post.

ur witty comments never cease to amaze me

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

Its funny because you never start to amaze me. Seriously do you have insider knowledge or have you just passsed the bbc building once?

I would like to state for the record I have no information on the merger of the download and regular singles chart.

* cough * http://www.htmlgoodies.com *cough*

Anyways back on topic, I read about the download chart etc on a BBC site (Newsbeat I think, but I can't find it now), and I've seen nothing else anywhere to the contrary other than on this board.

James WINS! :P

No, James does not win... Dominic Timms, David Wood and Google wins... FACT.

[DemonHorse]

Hmmm see the date.. JUNE!

My information was something I read on BBC website and more recent and it stated downloads had been included for at least a month now, as WELL as being counted seperately.
I figured out why I remembered it as newsbeat, coz it was also mentioned on the radio during 1 of Scott Mills shows, but I'm guessing it will be somewhere in general BBC news archive.

Oh looky here

"I think it's going to be a shot in the arm for music generally," he said. "This is not a competitor to the singles chart. It is a different kind of thing entirely.

Personally I trust BBC source over a newspaper on this one, even if the newspaper IS The Guardian.

James LOSES

[jameseuk]

Seb I win cuz I pointed out a merger & Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog challenged it.

Google doesnt win as Google itself isnt human.

And yes I used it to find the article but I didnt use Google to find the story originally.

[jameseuk]

We'll see what happens regarding a merger then ok?, still I think the Official Charts company etc are reliable sources

[jameseuk]

a more "up to date" article that mensions an expected merger

http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/netmusic ... 28,00.html

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

Yes, I feel disgusted with myself you truely do "win". In fact I believe all readers of the Guardian are already winners.

I dont read the newspaper & I only check out the site for radio & tv stuff

[Adam]

I think Westlife will stay at the top.

[jameseuk]

I think Westlife will stay at the top.

I hope not,Its an OLD song

[MK Chris]

But the point surely is that there may be old songs at the top, being the download chart, people do not take their files offline if they are old like shops take them off the shelves.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

Don't try explaining topher it will just confuse him.

[Ickle Angel]

Doesnt take much
