V2 :

YTD Sales : Please read these guidelines before you request sales estimates, it makes my task a lot easier.

1. Be specific - please name the artist and title for each entry you'd like an estimate for.
2. I log sales for all albums that have charted this year, but only update those that have sold enough to reach my 200 position tracking range
3. If an album isn't in the current Top 100, I won't be able to update its sales until Tues. Also, please don't ask about ex-T100 albums too often - once a month at most)
4. Remember to check the thread before requesting estimates - they may already have been answered. Also, no more than half-a-dozen requests at a time, thanks.
5. Please note my figures are combined sales & streams, and since I have no way of separating them, I cannot provide a split.
6. While I am no longer estimating singles sales, I can provide YTD singles positions from C+, and I am still maintaining my sales archive based on published figures (PM me if you want to see it)


Thank you.

TGS snowing down now but should sell 400k with the gift buying season at the end of the year so can see it being a millionseller in 2018. George Ezra will hopefully overtake Ed before the end of the year!

I imagine it will start picking up again once the DVD/Blu-ray is out. Definitely think it has a good shot at hitting 1 million this year.

When's that out?

DVD and Blu-ray are out on May 14th so not long to wait - I think a million is more or less guaranteed by the end of year.

Current Top 3 could stay the same for rest of year although hoping the Arctic Monkeys can have a say.

Yeh you usually find these days a big early in the year release sells steadily throughout the year like TGS or Ezra! But yes there's usually a few albums released from sept in there by the end of December!
