Do CD's bought online count in the charts?

Do CD's purchased from online stores count towards the album charts? I would assume that ones purchased from companies like Play (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump2.php?url=http://playcom.at/thedvdforums?DURL=http://www.play.com/) & Cd-wow (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump2.php?url=http://www.cd-wow.com/&affid=15561) don't as they are overseas, but how about the UK based companies like Amazon.co.uk (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump2.php?url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/redirect-home?tag=thedvdforums-21&site=dvd)?

Some 6,500 UK retail outlets contribute sales data.
I would expect Amazon to be one of them, they probably sell more than any shop. Also:

[The OCC ]aims to collect data from any retailer who sells more than 100 chart items per week.
