Lady 748 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Apparently the UK charts have a new rule about "immediate downloads" from album pre-orders where the song isn't eligible to chart on the official UK singles chart. This also apparently happened with Katy's "Walking On Air". If this is the case, then Venus, the official second single, is not eligible to chart either. Completely and utterly ridiculous rule, IMO. I now get why Katy's team didn't release the second single until the album was out. That's like.....EXTREMELY ridiculous if true! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spicemuncher 1,708 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 That's like.....EXTREMELY ridiculous if true! Australia has a rule close to this too. An excerpt from Walking On Air's Wiki page: "In Australia the song was not eligible to chart on the ARIA Singles Chart and so charted on the ARIA Digital Track Chart at number 18."DWUW down to #12 in the UK. Either an error from kworb, or the huge spike in sales was from pre-orders and now it stabilized. WTH is going on there... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoomKack 6,586 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 DWUW down to #12 in the UK. Either an error from kworb, or the huge spike in sales was from pre-orders and now it stabilized. WTH is going on there... For me it still says it's at number 1?According to Digital Sales Data the gap between Royals and DWUW has widened by 1000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Digital Sales Data the gap between Royals and DWUW has widened by 1000 Error on Kworb's part. It's fixed now but the gap has decreased slightly as DWUW is losing sales after the pre-order surge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimus 298 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 This will be TEOG 2. A wasted hit tbh. She should have released Venus as the lead single and DWUW as the second single. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
