As I recall, the very reason for the length of the "Blue Room" single was to poke fun at the silliness and arbitrariness of the UK chart rules. As time goes on, it seems the singles rules become ever sillier and _more_ arbitrary. I recall reading that this latest move was allegedly intended to reduce the number of dance singles on the charts, as those are the ones most likely to featur extensive remixes and long track lengths. -d.w.
