Morrissey has been dissing the way the official music charts are being compiled - and in particular the way download sales are incorporated in the stats. He's not alone in questioning how long the rather complicated digital stats system (whereby only digital sales the week prior to a physical release are counted) can continue to operate, although Morrissey seems to be more concerned about the way digital sales stats will affect his own chart position.
Speaking to fansite True-to-you net, Mozza says: "These absurd new chart rules will change soon, and it's worth remembering that they were introduced on the week that 'You Have Killed Me' entered at Number Three, so you can't blame me for thinking that someone is out to dislodge me. The song that ended up at Number One [which I think was Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy', the first song to go to number one on digital sales alone] wasn't even buyable in any record shop at the time! A very fair system." Whatever you say Morrissey.
