Download-only Single Becomes UK Number One

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bit-by-bit dept.

Stuart Gibson writes "As predicted, the Gnarls Barkely single 'Crazy' has reached the number one spot on the official UK charts, based solely on legal downloads. The CD version of the single will not be released until tomorrow. This is the first single to be eligible for the honour as, until last month, download sales would only be counted if the track was also available to be bought as a physical copy."

    Because super means above. It's above nature.
