Well that's good, I'm relieved that I did my bit to try and get the Pet Shop Boys as high up the charts as possible with their latest single.

i believe it's mp3's that are sold for under 40p don't count toward the chart, from any retailer.

Short answer: yes, Amazon sales count towards the chart. |

Wrong. As long as the retailer itself has purchased the song for more than 40p before re-selling it, it counts. Amazon sells the tracks for under 40p, but the sales still count towards the chart as Amazon purchsed the song for 40p (or more).
Short answer: yes, Amazon sales count towards the chart.

Amazon must have a screw loose in their profit/loss calculator.
