== Contradiction? == 

 It might just be me, but I've read this three times and it doesn't make sense to me: 

 "Shortly after the release of the album, the band released a statement on the social network service MySpace which explained to fans that their single "That's Not My Name" had reached number 1 in the UK Singles Charts, the statement went on to encourage fans to purchase legal copies of the single in order to keep at the top position for the official Sunday Chart release on May 18th." 

 So it was already at #1, and then they encouraged people to buy it to keep it at #1? 
 No, because it entered at #1 on May 18th, and then fell to #2 the following week (May 25th). 
 So I don't get this. Can anyone assist?
