CHART: CLUK Update 21.05.2005 (wk19) Last week I mentioned 31 exclusions: I wrote that they could either not be matched with a _current_ physical format or failed to sell enough units. The "current" was a reference to the one-year exclusion rule: Beyond requiring a physical release, the UK countdown also bars old singles which are selling on download unless they have been specifically reissued. After a year, all tracks are routinely disqualified from the chart. Although the exact wording and operation of this rule are yet to become public, I should also mention that the early midweeks charts (based on sales from Sunday nad Monday only) seem not to operate that new rule. Apparently the exclusions are executed at a later stage in the week. Most of the 30 tracks are again "re-entering" this week's midweeks chart, and again their LW positions are asterisked, ie. denoting that they were indeed excluded the previous week.

Nancy Sinatra (26:20). Likely new entries include: KT Tunstall, Faith Evans, Killers, DJ Tiesto, Tears, and Maximo Park Remarkably, one week ahead of the physical release, Coldplay drops 1:7. It is overtaken no only by last week's highest new entry (BEP), but five other tracks as well. Releasing the download four weeks in adavance may not have been that good an idea after all: apparently Speed Of Sound is in a very tight battle with that frog song for the number one spot this Sunday!
