According to my understanding of Uk Chart Regulations (according to the BPI) The following fit the defintion of a single; if I remember rightly from the time I worked in record shops and also reading music week. All other formats are not eligible to inclusion in the 'singles chart', but I don't think too many of us here are expecting to break th top 40 in a hurry! You might qualify for the 'Budget Albums chart'(i think is what its called) instead! (as did rock band 3 Colours Red with their Paralyse Ep in 1998, which at four songs, found themselves no.1 in the budget albums chart.) i)Three tracks or less on a 5" or 3" CD (must not exceed 25 minutes in total) ii)A DVD single featuring 1 Video track and no more than 2 audio tracks iii)Digital Download iv)7" v)12" not exceeding 25 minutes total vi)Cassette Only three of the above formats are eligible for inclusion in the UK charts, as specified by record company.Sorry if im wrong, but thats my understanding of it Graham __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
