Because this year's Eurovision entry for Malta sounds a lot like 'Let Me Go'

There was that show on BBC1 the other night, 'When Corden Met Barlow', I'm guessing it's to do with that.

Definitely this. Very good it was too. I'm more curious as to why Meatloaf's Bat out of Hell is back in. Brilliant album and played to death by me when first out in 1978. But why has it suddenly charted again?

I think that would make it exempt from the album chart.

Not really...Lily Allen had an offer for 99p of her brand new album this week and its going number one this week and that's a brand new album! Garys is six months old.

It was that tv show, one of Max Clifford's final piece of media manipulation (hopefully). Showing Barlow to be a great bloke who does so much for charity.
Hopefully the album drop like a brick now that "Cameron's mate" has been ordered by a judge to pay the £20 million he and his mates have stolen from the public through tax avoidance schemes. In America he would have gone to prison. In the UK he'll probably get a knighthood as "The People's Tax Dodger". Hopefully Cameron will rip into his Tory funder the way he did into Jimmy Carr. |

Unless rules have changed since this was published they are exempt:-
http://www.officialcharts.com/media/...hart-rules.pdf Google may have paid more than 99p for the albums but because they sold them to the consumer for that price, the albums are still eligible to chart. |

The Official Charts Company confirmed that Lily's 99p sales would count because the minimum eligible price for an album to chart in the UK is set with the dealer, rather than the end price with the consumer.

The big downside is that we will be stuck with Take bloody That for years to come now as the try to pay the bill off. |

Hated him and his "music" before this news broke and now find him beyond contempt. The rest of us have to pay our way, why do these rich types think they can get away with it?

The BBC show was an advertisement in disguise
