Max bet would be low on this surely as you could effectively buy yourselve the Xmas number one spot?

439k copies last year

If you give me 5000/1 on a £1k Peeleeeeno

I will be Xmas number 1

Could be epic

'copies' isn't what you think it means. to sell 493k copies there were prolly 1.4m sold actually.

if you try to buy it, you can't.

Explain please

What would happen if I put a two pound coin in every cd case and sold for £1

like it's weird. things are weighted differently...so...

buy on itunes, you might 'sell' 1.2 copies, buy in tesco, maybe 0.6 copies, but only one copy per two minutes counts (just examples)...so imagine you and I are in our local tesco and buy it at the same time. You even buy another copy for the dog. Tesco sells 3 copies in those two minutes, but only 0.6 copies were sold. stuff like that. (edit: that's how it works in lots of europe, I'm assuming same in UK but can't be sure)

you defo can't promote by having anything worth money inside.

Wasn't it New Order that made the packaging for the Blue Monday 12" so elaborate that it ended up costing them a quid for every copy they sold.  It went on to be the best selling 12" ever...talk about run bad.

Probably being posting less recently, no particular reason for it.
