UK's aptly named Official Chart Company has a fairly progressive idea for how to more accurately tabulate the sales success of musical artists on its Official Download Chart -- by
including the sales statistics for tracks offered as downloadable content for rhythm titles such as
Rock Band,
Guitar Hero: World Tour and
SingStar.
To compile and include this data, it would take a great deal of negotiation between the record companies, the Official Chart Company and the game's developers, but we think it's definitely worth the trouble -- if only so we could try to get
Stephen and the Colberts on the UK Weekly Top 40.
