The song has been available for a week now, but having checked the Official UK Chart Company website (http://www.theofficialcharts.com/top40_singles.php), I’m afraid I can confirm that it didn’t manage to breach even the top 100 in yesterday’s chart.
Those involved are going to have to hope saturation playing of the song at Prestbury Park this week will make a difference, though whether physical format sales of the song (if a CD single version exists) in the Cheltenham gift shops actually count towards chart eligibility is a tickly issue – the racecourse may not, I suspect, count as a recognised music sales outlet! Still, sales are sales, and any such sales on course will doubtless be welcomed by the charities.
