haha, you all slated me in my previous thread, now it's confirmed you can all apologise to me

 

All the purchases of DWUW, as of this week, will mean NOTHING. The song will not chart at all.

 

Here we go guys... this is just the beginning.

The song is still selling, right ?

as most of you have noticed, it's probably a huge mistake they've made, since DWUW is 0.99$ (price for just a song on iTunes) while Applause is 1.29$ (price of a single), but you shouldn't be mad guys.... enjoy the music ffs

Meow said this on page 2, but don't think anybody picked up on it.

Basically the reason it can't chart is because in the UK automatic downloads from Pre-orders are not allowed to chart.

So, that means that DWUW will not be allowed to chart, Venus won't be allowed to chart and every other single from ARTPOP too...

Maybe singles after ARTPOP's release can chart if they get strong enough sales, but since the album will already be out by then I doubt that this will happen.

It looks like some kind of agreement was required that in their rush interscope didn't get

 

Quote from Digital Spy

 

Offering a response to the absence, the Official Charts Company tweeted: "Want to know why Lady Gaga isn't in the #ChartUpdate? The label decided to release Do What U Want in a way that makes it chart-ineligible."

 

The announcement comes after the Official Charts Company changed their rules earlier this year to include instant grat tracks as part of their sales figures.

However, the free downloads would only be counted as long as pre-agreed criteria are adhered to.
