Who You Are - ! - really rocking, drums cymbal, electronic guitar riff driving intro - then breaks to just voice and electronic piano - then rocking verse with lots of falsetto - chant like "who you are" repeated chorus - back to just voice, piano, and some drums entering, then back to rock etc and chorus - then stops and goes skewed guitar - this will sound good on radio

Yeah but will 'Who You Are' be on the radio?
Gosh I'd love to hear 'I Still Miss Us' right now too, but I'll wait till 18th August I think.

ha ha ! i saw it in a broken links version. I've just emailed David Champion to confirm ratings. oh, just saw first review now....5 stars....yes, very useful ;D I love how prominent the button is on the iTunes homepage..and I'm really looking forward to seeing 22 steps in the Top 10 downloaded songs ...but am still worried my purchase wont count yet *paces, waits* ..also think I read somewhere that multiple downloads on iTunes dont count (ie it will only count as one sale)...but that could be my paranoia at work!  |

Remember that the ARIA chart calculation is not exactly ... scientific"Chart FAQs How is the ARIA chart calculated? ARIA collects recorded music sales data from the majority of Australia's music retailers. The data from each store is matched with the ARIA database and the sales figures are extrapolated to achieve a 'best estimate' of the actual overall sales of each title. Titles are ranked according to their 'weighted' sales figures." yes...but I thought a fundamental was the DATES in which the sales are recorded: The ARIA charts are calculated once a week on Sunday. They are based on retail recorded music sales within Australia for the week from the preceding Saturday to the Friday prior to calculation. The new charts are usually uploaded to the website on Sunday night Eastern Australian time.www.ariacharts.com.au/pages/charts_faqs.htmso.....22 Steps is due for release on July 21, which is smart as it is a Saturday. Sales will count for the week from Sat - Fri according to their website. sooooo....if I make a purchase today, Tuesday....where will the purchase count if the chart is Sat-Fri? And 22 Steps wont enter the chart till next week? Or does this special case with iTunes mean that iTunes sales will count before the release date? Also: www.aria.com.au/pages/aria-charts-combinedsingles-chartrules.htm10.Product sales are aggregated on the basis of unique purchasers, as reported by contributing DSPs.So I took this to mean DSP= downloaded sale provider or similar. What I think this is saying then is that multiple digital purchases wont count towards the chart from the same retailer, because, per DSP, they will only count 1 sale per purchaser. I cant seem to download the Code of Practice that details the process more (it explains a little more than what is on the site - which is basic to say the least ).... I guess it doesnt matter anyway....a)as if anyone is going to wait to download it (even I may not hold out that long!) and b) i guess chart positions dont really mean that much? |

The release date on Itunes of the EP is wrong - it appears to say 3 July 2007 - I'm wondering if it is a little bit of a stuff up?
