Harry 26,836 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 The Official Charts Company has changed the rules for the UK singles chart. Tracks offered as a free download when pre-ordering a digital album - also known as instant grat tracks - will be chart eligible from this week. As long as pre-agreed criteria is adhered to, instant grat tracks will be considered the same as traditional downloads from digital stores such as iTunes, reports Music Week. The change was unanimously passed by the CSC committee, which consists of retailers and labels. The move brings the UK singles chart in line with most of the other international charting rules regarding instant grat eligibility. The move follows confusion back in January when David Bowie offered his new single 'Where Are We Now?' as a free download for customer who pre-ordered upcoming album The Next Day. The new rule begins in the week commencing February 10, 2013 and will be reassessed periodically to monitor its impact on the overall chart. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/ ... chart.html is this true? That's a different rule. The rule that is the concern now is that apparently only 2 tracks released in this way from each album are eligible to chart. For example, Roar and Dark Horse were allowed to chart but Walking On Air wasn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
