The UK chart-rules format limit dropped from four to three recently -- my guess is sometime this past spring -- but the rule does exist. Many artists will release further formats once a single is slipping in the charts, if they have enough of a following to sell them. -- ::: Lazlo (lazlo@swcp.com; http://www.swcp.com/lazlo)
