David Bowie's new single 'Where Are We Now?' could still chart in Sunday's Official Top 40, despite earlier reports stating it wasn't eligible.

The track, which is currently number one on iTunes, is available for free when pre-ordering his forthcoming album The Next Day. This would have prevented it from entering the chart.

However, the Official Charts Company has since said that sales of the single track do count towards the official Top 40, meaning 'Where Are We Now?' will enter if it achieves enough sales.

'Where Are We Now?' marks the singer's first new release in over a decade and shot to the top of the download chart less than a day after its surprise release yesterday.

Bowie has also seen a surge in sales of his hits collection The Best of Bowie since news of his upcoming studio LP was announced.

Lady GaGa recently praised 'Where Are We Now?' on her Twitter page, calling it "a moment of bliss".

AP & CLOSED

We got this already.

They didn't change the rules, they just clarified their previous comment. They said that his single wouldn't chart because it was being given away free, however, it has also been made commercially available and so the paid downloads count towards his final week tally, but the freebies won't.

AP and misleading.
