Blues 0 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 From atrl: You're only allowed 2 songs from a pre-order album to chart. That's why Katy's WOA didn't but DH did. I'm not sure if you can choose to swap, though. i.e. When Venus is released, they can choose for DWUW to drop out and Venus to replace it. No idea how the UK works, someone confirm?

geo 0 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Dark Horse charted? I think they changed the rule so that only two songs can chart from an album pre-order, hence Roar & DH charted but WOA didn't despite being top 10 on iTunes as said above.

They must have something planned as I'm sure they're not stupid enough to book an X Factor performance if it's not eligible If it robs Gaga off a #1 though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo 40,746 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 From atrl: No idea how the UK works, someone confirm? Chart where though? Top 100? Top 40 (cause Applause isn't top 40) I hope this doesn't become a mess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmm 979 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 That is such a strange system... If that's true, maybe that's why gaga hasn't tweeted about dwuw much, she may have "chosen" it to not chart, to allow venus to do so? Idk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo 40,746 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I really hope that means the highest ones (Venus + Applause) will be the 2 that are picked. A song can't be #1 on iTunes and be denied of a #1. I'm sure they'll just not let DWUW chart. That would be one of the biggest corruptions in her career.

If it does deny her of a #1 then they might change the rules during the week. Earlier this year the rule was no pre-order songs eligible to chart full stop, but then David Bowie went #1 on iTunes and was nowhere to seen on the midweek update. People were confused and then by Sunday the OOC conveniently changed the rules and made out like it wasn't ineligible from the start Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry 26,836 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Omg imagine if Venus wasn't allowed to chart and they didn't realise The MELTDOWNS would be like nothing we've seen before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo 40,746 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Omg imagine if Venus wasn't allowed to chart and they didn't realise The MELTDOWNS would be like nothing we've seen before I would have the biggest Gaga meltdown EVER. I'm SURE they'll only let the highest 2 chart. It doesn't make sense at all to not let a song at (hopefully) #1 not become #1 when Applause or DWUW (OR BOTH FOR ALL I CARE) can be removed from the chart. Ok, so when WOA was released, Roar and DH were the only ones to chart. Was DH still selling more when WOA was released? Does anyone know? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexxx 5,494 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 i hope Polydor know what's going on concerning Venus and pre orders. Hopefully it'll be fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry 26,836 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I find it hard to believe that we would've clocked onto this before people that actually work in the industry. They probably know the chart rule book backwards. I'm sure they'll have something planned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
