Just to clarify for late joiners
*Please note, whilst the CD can be purchased from LFC Club Shops, only songs downloaded from I-tunes, or purchased from HMV will count towards the official chart position.
Seeing as HMV look like they've sold out if you're buying a copy from any of the club stores, make sure you do the iTunes thing as well for the charts.
I've just been checking out the rules and regulations regarding distribution of singles and albums.
The Officlal U.K. Chart Company state that they use a sample of distributors around the U.K. like Virgin megastores, HMV, Tesco's, e.t.c.
If one store name is picked it doesn't follow that all that names stores are used some stores may not be used as MAY be the case with the club shop !
It's not a fix !, if all the stores from one name were used then that named store could be targeted from all over the U.K. and it COULD be fixed to Orchestrate a particular release getting to No.1.
There are stores that are fitted with the means of recording sales that aren't used to prevent staff from stores doctoring the sales or indeed telling customers to use there store as it is one used by the chart company.
I hope this clears things up a little.
