The Official UK Charts Company (OCC), the organisation that maintains the UK’s music sales tables, will include albums sold on USB Flash disks in its tallies from next Monday, 29 October, Register Hardware has learned.

In an email sent by the OCC to labels and seen by Register Hardware, the organisation gives notice that it will recognise two types of what it calls DMDs – Digital Memory Devices. “Standard DMDs” will have a storage capacity of no more than 512MB, enough for a standard album’s selection of tracks and bonus songs and/or 25 minutes of video content. Standard DMDs can contain multimedia content too, just as so-called Enhanced CDs do today.
