Checking out 'I'm with stupid' on itunes and it's not in the Top 100 daily songs!?
I noticed under TOP ARTIST DOWNLOADS the first one is 'Girls Don't Cry', then 'The Resurrectionists', plus a couple of 'I'm with stupid' mixes. The single version is the 5th listed.

Which versions of 'I'm with stupid' need to be downloaded in order to count towrds the singles chart? Surely purchasing one of the b-sides won't contribute? What about the remixes? Do they count?

I think each remix = 1 sale.

But if you just buy The Resurrectionist for example, does it count as one sale?

If so, then surely it's increasing the impact of downloads on the chart as buying both TR and I'm with stupid will count as 2 sales whereas if I just buy the CD it'll just be one?

Or am I very confused???

Be good if someone on here could inform us of the exact workings of downloads contribution to the singles chart.
