2014 Free Money - £59.84 Topcashback
2015 Free Money (so far) - £186.33 Topcashback
Why should the people who voted have to pay even more to get his single. They should give it free to everyone who registered a vote for him.
Apparently anything under 40p doesn't count towards the charts. Have a looksie - http://www.theofficialcharts.com/docs/Official%20UK%20Singles%20Chart%20Rules%20August%202009.pdf

MSE News: How NOT to buy Joe McElderry's X Factor single for 29p but buy RAGE instead
HI Chris (and all),
We've checked this out and added it to the news story. The Official Charts Company say the following:
"The rules do not specify a minimum retail selling price for the sale of a single to be eligible for inclusion. However, they specify a minimum published dealer price (what a retailer pays a record label for the song).
"This does not affect the ability of a retailer to carry out price promotions. Any genuine consumer purchases made as a result of a retailer promotion will be eligible as long as the single meets all other applicable chart rules."
Hope this helps
Dan
If you spot a rate change that we haven't already mentioned or added into articles or tips, Please send me a PM about it
They'll be giving them away come end of week
But, it will count for Radio 1.
