Singles rules offer hope: Charts body agrees changes to chart rules and agrees to explore launch of download chart.(Singles)
The singles fight-back has received official approval for the first time, in the form of a series of chart rules changes designed to make the single more attractive to consumers.
The Official UK Charts Company's chart supervisory committee agreed a series of initiatives last Tuesday aimed at reviving the format, which has experienced a sales decline of almost 40% this year.
The meeting agreed:
* new rules for a two-track single, including a reduced minimum dealer price of around 1.20 [pounds sterling];
* a relaxing of content rules to allow other CD singles to include additional content; and
* the creation of a download chart committee to examine the prospects for the launch of a download chart in the next six months.
The measures are the first fruits of the OCC's Future Of The Charts project, which has run since the spring, drawing on discussions with more than 100 executives from across the business.
