Last night as I slept I dreamt I met with Behan, I shook him by the hand as we passed the time of day.

Well ... I know that buying the online downloads counts, so I would be very surprised if any of the other formats did not count.

cheers - had a look at the UK Chart company website but it wasn't very clear. It refers to downloads and "physical CD singles" but doesn't say anything about DVDs as far as I can make out.

FTONY now third favourite at 36 on Betfair behind X-Factor and Nizlopi(Irish descent lads-check the Christy Moore reference in the song).There is a top 3 market which has Fairytale at 4.9.Get on!

I finally got round to putting a fiver on FONY at 50/1 at BetDirect. Oddly after I placed my bet, it now says suspended next to the selection, as if you can't choose it anymore. I'm not very familiar with betting, why would this happen? Maybe the odds are changing or something.

Also the bet says it has to be #1 on Radio1..is this the same chart as TOTP etc use?
