Hundreds of copies Sir Paul McCartney's latest album will not be eligible for the UK charts, the BBC has learned.
The music legend has just released his 21st solo album, Memory Almost Full, on a label run by coffee chain Starbucks.
But Starbucks' 533 UK stores are not registered with the Official Chart Company - which means CDs bought there will not count towards the top 40.
The company said it had no immediate plans to contribute sales data to the chart compilers.
Memory Almost Full is still likely to make the Top 40 this weekend, however, as it is also being sold through traditional high-street retailers and download services like iTunes.
It is currently number seven in Amazon's top-sellers list - but it is being outsold by The Beatles' Sergeant Pepper album.
