It was sold out.  It was in stock. People tweeted about it being in stock. Everyone bought it. It went out of stock.

Yeah, I'd considered that but I'm still convinced Amazon are atrificially holding it longer in the charts to promote it. Let's see how long it take this to drop.

They aren't. It only reached 3rd this time so if my theory is correct it should fall down the charts quicker because it didn't have a huge day of sales to hold them high up the charts once out of stock like original shipment. 

Like I said before, the weekly and monthly represent actual 1:1 sales so look at those if you want a better picture. The hourly definitely represents sales of a week or more but the older the sales the less weight they have on the charts.
