The charts do not strictly reflect national sales - they are extrapolated up from sales in a small selection of stores. If the stores in question manage to become known, only a relatively small number of CDs need to be bought in order to push the song up the charts. I don't know if this has happened with this particular 'song', but I know for certain that this has happened with other chart pop bands.
