1st UK Number One From Downloads Only

[GhostShip]

I wonder what take the BPI and their RIAA colleagues will say about this

Crazy by Gnarls Barkley has made pop history as the UK's first number one song based on download sales alone.
Until this month, download sales could only count towards a chart position if the song could also be bought in shops.
But under new rules, downloads can be counted as long as physical copies go on sale the following week.

Hmm I blame the filesharers for causing this terrible event that proves they are making plenty regardless of the sales of Compact Discs.

it still means that in order to be considered in the charts you have to sell CD's, and that basically means going to the cartel...
