Big changes coming to the charts

The UK music charts are set for a shake-up from Sunday, with downloads and sales in shops in the same chart.

Any track downloaded from a legal website or single bought from a shop from Monday will be included in the first chart on Sunday 17 April.

With downloads making up around 45% of total sales it's hoped the new chart will better show the UK's fave single.

Tony Christie and Peter Kay are currently number one on both the singles chart and the download chart.
