Friday Chart Update - In The Ghetto Entered Billboard Chart

Great news. However, it must be noted that the chart concerned is the POP 100 and not the HOT 100. The difference is as follows.
Pop 100: The Pop 100 is a songs chart created in February 2005 and released weekly by Billboard magazine in the United States. It ranks songs based on mainstream radio airplay, singles sales, and digital downloads.
History: The chart was created as an answer to criticism of the Billboard Hot 100, the most popular Billboard singles chart. Many complained that the Hot 100 was biased against non-rhythmic songs, making it difficult for a pop, rock, or country song to reach the top ten. In fact, every number-one in 2004 was by a hip-hop or R&B artist. To illustrate another extreme, at the time the Pop 100 was first published, only one country act in the previous 20 years had reached #1 on the Hot 100 (Lonestar in 2000 with "Amazed"; Carrie Underwood would hit #1 later in 2005 with "Inside Your Heaven").
When the Pop 100 was first published, the Hot 100 changed its format as well. Digital downloads were incorporated into the equation which tabulates a song's rank on the chart. Prior to this, only radio airplay and singles sales were used to determine positions. A Pop 100 Airplay chart was created alongside the new Pop 100. It measures mainstream radio airplay.

Does anyone know if this will be released as a physical CD? Especially in the UK where I am? Thanks.

I'm in the UK bray and I don't know about you but I think that there are too many titles to be issued at the present time with the current singles box set. I think it should be released in CD form, it is to good an opportunity to miss but perhaps near or at the end of this campaign?

Yes its near impossible to keep up with all the CDs, DVDs, books, magazines and Box sets appearing in UK shops at the moment. Too much maybe. I'm not collecting the singles this time after the fiasco of last time plus I dont have the money, I've bought the new DVD box set instead. This duet is a different idea though and might appeak to the general public more than the reissues.

I know the feeling but at least you don't need to chase the singles like you had too with the previous box set! Today I bought a crackin' double album from Woolies with all the sun and early RCA tracks for just two quid!, Ok I have the titles but at that price I have plenty to listen too in the car. They had Blue Suede Shoes as their number one by the way!

Blue Suede Shoes at No.1 ? Shame it won't be replicated in the Official Chart. TCB

Yes a great pity, but at least there could be a chance with one or two of the other releases yet to come, not forgetting the In The Ghetto duet if it is ever released on a single

Since this is a charity single. RCA-BMG- Or Lisa's Record Label should also release this CD single to Retail Music stores. The more opportunities to buy the single the better!!
