OK, this is for all you label types out there busy transferring audio files to USB sticks after we reported yesterday that music sold on the memory devices would now count towards singles chart ratings, following the news Universal were planning their second USB stick release, with The Fratellis. Erm, how I can I put this? We were wrong on that. The Official Charts Company are talking to Universal about their USB stick releases, and are assessing the pros and cons of allowing the format to be chart eligible, but have not as yet reached a decision one way or another. So, put those USB releases you started planning yesterday on hold.
