  1. The Birtish are getting a maxi CD for the following tracks:

    1. Celebration

    2. Celebration [Paul Oakenfold mix]

    3. Celebration [benny Benassi mix]

    4. Celebration [Paul Oakenfold dub]

    5. Celebration [benny Benassi mix edit]

    6. Celebration [Johny Vicious club mix]

    Whereas the rest of the European are getting this:

    1. Celebration

    2. Celebration [benny Benassi Remix]

    3. Celebration [benny Benassi Dub]

    I wonder if they will get another single that includes Oakenfold & Johnny's remixes?

  2. Wrong! Just like airplay which is free it counts when an agreement has been made!

    THE ISSUE OF FREE DOWNLOADS

    Dear Fred,

    Recently, you said that free downloads for specific songs issued by a label do not count toward the Hot 100 chart.

    Last week, Mariah Carey saw over a 100% rise in downloads. This can be attributed mostly to the remix of the song "We Belong Together" which was available exclusively on iTunes and was made available for free at Carey's official Web site, www.mariahcarey.com.

    According to reported numbers, the remix of "We Belong Together" sold 27,000 copies, outdoing the original, even though it never once broke [the] top 50 on iTunes. This is impossible given that the original version of the song sold less and was sitting up in the top 30 all week.

    According to the iTunes discount purchase plan, a label has to purchase 25,000 copies of a single to offer it to fans for free. Are you sure that Billboard didn't accidentally count these singles when [compiling] the Hot 100?

    Mathematically, something doesn't add up.

    Dear Laney,

    I did state Billboard policy last week regarding free downloads not being counted for the Hot 100. Your e-mail and others like it prompted me to ask Billboard's director of charts, Geoff Mayfield, about "We Belong Together."

    I hope you will appreciate Geoff's response, as he is as concerned about the accuracy of all Billboard charts as much as you and I, if not more. Here's what Geoff had to say:

    In these fast-changing times, there are rare occasions when we have to adjust chart rules on the fly. At the point when Fred asked me about free downloads last week, it was the not the intention of either Nielsen SoundScan or Billboard to include free downloads in our tabulation of Hot Digital Songs, The Billboard Hot 100 or the Pop 100 unless they met the conditions that we outlined: that the merchant gets paid full price and the consumer can use the premium to buy any available download.

    However, as the day wore on, it became apparent we did not have a sufficient filter in place to enforce that policy until after the chart was tabulated, this after we had already held up processing more than 24 hours beyond normal deadlines. Had we been able to install that filter last week, Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" would not have risen to No. 1 on the Hot 100 until this week.

    Now, the filter is in place. The policy that we stated in Fred's "Chart Beat Chat" last week and repeated above is becomes effective with this week's charts.

  4. Hey guys

    I read on the Mariah site that you can go to Amazon.com and get a copy of any song you like for up to $1.29 and when you check-out enter the code FIRSTMIL to get the song for freeeeee

    Help Madonna get #1!!!

    Download CELEBRATION

    Free download will not be counted towards Hot 100 chart points.

  5. Well the day its relesed on those sites, i'll fucking stream it.

    So what other sites are counted? Isnt AOL and MSN counted too??

    It seems like these streaming site doesn't care where you from, that's why Lamb from all over the world have been streaming Obsessed day and night, and it made it to #1 on video streaming eventually.

  6. So if Her Madgesty is a deal sealer for you to tune into the VMAs, we're told it very much could happen. She'll have wrapped the second leg of her Sticky & Sweet Tour, and on top of her love for M.J., Madonna coincidentally has her new single, "Celebration," to promote. When it comes right down to it, every publicity appearance is calculated for someone of her stature, capisce? Plus, we're sure she'll be in the NYC neighborhood since that's where her love nest is with "love of her life" Jesus Luz.

    What say you all? You want Madge onboard the Jackson-centric show? Or are you slightly over all this M.J. exposure?

    Looks like a great opportunity to promote Celebration but it's a MJ tribute, it's gonna be like "sad"... performing "Celebration" sounds inappropriate to me. :confused:
