It applies to older releases too,so for instance we could bring Oxygene 4 back into the charts 30 years after it was released!!
or any of Jarres singles back catalogue
But I'm not sure it would work in the way we would all like it !!!Essentially if we were going to re-ignite Jarre's work to help promote it to others who weren't sure of his work,then we'd all have to download those tracks in which case would mean paying for the tracks that we already have paid for in past CD purchases....
Personally it would be a Better idea for future releases,then it intrigues people who maybe haven't heard of him to want to download older tracks
I know I for one wouldn't want to pay to Download Jarres previous singles just to take it back up the Chart,as much as I'd like to bring Jarre into the forefront,I've already got the Discography!and I like many others would rather have an Official CD release in my collection than a virtual download on the computer or Ipod!
Jarre and other similar musicians tend to have an elite following rather than gain new Audience's all the time,Most fans of Jarre would have been following him for many years and tend to buy the new releases as soon as they come out ,so it pushes then in and out of charts far too quickly,personally I don't hink Jarre will ever be a huge chart act,even from Virtual charts sales not that he needs to be anyway,but for me Jarres tracks just don't suit your "3 min 40 second throwaway pop song format,and he has far more succes from album sales anyway..
If Jarre were to never release a "single" in the charts ever again, I doubt it would affect his promotional aspects or popularity
But at least this new system of chart sales could have a positive effect on his Legacy at least
