UK's New Chart Rules Result In Fans Falling All Over Themselves To Repurchase Songs - Idolator
Additionally, they remind us that Moz was shut out of the number one spot in the charts for "Irish Blood" by Eamon, of the "Fuck It" song fame. Ouch.

Once upon a time you would have found me bouncing along at their gigs; that's before I discovered Marks and Spencer's supportive lingerie.

Even if buying a top-10 re-entry was really something to strive for, I think you are all being very naïve in thinking that this is going to work. Consider how Morrissey's singles can't even go number 1 in the week they are released, where ALL fans buy approximately 3 copies, and tons of casual fans buy at least one. How much money do you think each of you has to spend to make an impact on the charts in a random week with no real marketing and no real incentive for a fan to re-purchase a song they already paid for?
Even if somebody is crazy enough to personally spend thousands of pounds on this rather than a worthier cause - which is what it would take - it's still a pointless exercise, which isn't even news at this point, seeing as how it has circulated in any decent-sized band forum since the rules were changed.
Of course, if you enjoy yourselves...
