I'm buying on monday, to make sure.

Thanks for reminding me not to buy it.

Bought over iTunes

Deadbeat · 13 Dec 2009 at 09:29

Will buy on iTunes Monday, or possibly Friday, cos I get paid then. Might buy it from several places - a fiver's worth doing my bit, and it's a much better cause than that tramp I saw sleeping in vomit this morning.

I thought if you bought it today it would count towards todays chart?

Pretty sure the cut off must be midnight. After all, chart shows need to get their links and everything planned, don't they?

As long as people follow the rules it should easily make the top 3.

Or it could turn out like this

I got it from itunes

Spyke_UK · 13 Dec 2009 at 10:57

I thought the idea was to buy "after" the 13th so all sales will count towards the chart at Christmas? rather than this weeks/ todays chart?

Knubje · 13 Dec 2009 at 10:58

Just bought it from play.com

Awesome! Go RATM Go!

euro_scene · 13 Dec 2009 at 10:59

It might be no.1 in charts today

lol

Which would be an amazing achievement given that the X-Factor single hasn't even been released yet

Chart runs sunday to saturday. Wiki says so. Will check rules no chart site to confirm, but can't read a pdf on my phone.

Bought the album on CD for 4 quid, no point in buying the mp3, I already have it.

Love this album so no worries adding it to my collection.
