The #9 entry will apparently be disqualified of the charts. It seems it's a rerelease too close to the first entry, but I don't get how this works.

Thats because NOTB is 3 times better than WD
Well.... more than 3 times in my opinion...

Well.... more than 3 times in my opinion... [right][snapback]95291[/snapback][/right]
True but it's an old song that has been released before on a single.
Ok, I'm not editing the main news for I'm skeptic about the numbers, but if you believe these, a few sales on Fri/Sat could push Maiden to the top spot:
01. ELVIS PRESLEY – "Jailhouse Rock" - 29,854
02. STEVE BROOKSTEIN - "Against All Odds" - 29,101
03. IRON MAIDEN - "Number of the Beast" - 29,065
04. BAND AID - "Do They Know It's Christmas" - 28,552
05. SCISSOR SISTERS - "Filthy/Gorgeous" - 26,697
06. ERASURE - "Breathe" - 21,900
07. DANA RAYNE - "Object Of My Desire" - 18,779
08. KASABIAN - "Cutt Off" - 18,211
09. BLUE - "Get Down On It" - 17,210
10. SEAGULLS SKA - "Tom Hark" - 16,126
