Ahh 2005, when download sales alone wouldn't get an act charting. As Shayne's CD wasn't available until Wednesday, I don't think he appeared until Thursday midweeks! Assuming this was the same for Leona Lewis too.

 

Oh and Leon Jackson had sold 497,596 of When You Believe by October. Basically half a million by now.

Wow! RATM at number 1! :D

 

but Joes CD is out tomorrow so he could overtake them easily :(

 

Still, great to see that X factor isn't guaranteed to walk it this year and a full chart battle is coming

 

I dont think Joe will match Alexandras first week sales of 500k+, I think he will manage 350-400k at most

 

he looks unlikely to beat LG to best selling single, and since the charity song sold relatively low this year, it looks like Gaga has the best seller! :yahoo:

 

 

yeah i see now. wow shaynes sales. i still think around 300k maybe 350k. has anyone got leonas firstw eek sales? so it looks like joe will possibly sell less than shayn, alex and leona.. making him the 4th best selling x factor winners single.

but Joes CD is out tomorrow so he could overtake them easily :(

Actually as everybody is 'speaking the truth' here constantly... since when did physical sales matter, in any case? :unsure:

Leona sold around 500k if I remember correctly.

Thanks for the figures Jay. :)

 

Presume its now (mid-December) very close to 0.5 million, or just past it?

Joe has physicals coming, which will no doubt be a stocking filler like Peter Kay's 'Children In Need' single.

 

Today is realistically the only chance Rage has.

Eat your words :P :P :w00t:

Joe will do about 400k by the end of the week I think. :D

 

I'm just really happy that there are lots of strong songs and contenders for the top 10 this year!

Most interesting Christmas chart in a while just to see the top 2's final sales and if Journey can stay top 10/how high 3Oh!3 can get etc.

Thanks for the figures Jay. :)

It's 29p on Amazon this week so if it hasn't quite passed 500k, I suppose it could with that offer!

By the way, Leona's first week sale was 571,000 - 5k less than Alexandra. I don't think there were any midweek figures for Leona to keep track!

Actually, I got my figures from a poll that was done nationwide last week which stated that 60% of Joe voters were in the 60+ range.

 

older people are more likely to vote, younger people will buy the cd/download

Leona sales:-

 

Tuesday: 88k

Wednesday: 96k

Thursday: No figure

Friday: 360k (241k physical (67%))

Sunday: 571k (432k physical (76%)).

as rage against the machine is catching joe on i tunes, is there any chance they could be number 1? joes gonna be a head this time 2moz in the mids, then thurs mids will have the cd single incl. i guess it all depends on how the news spin it. because its ALL OVER the news this morning whihc will encourage RATM capaign and will probs get afew joe supporters ready for a fight as well. maybe joes sales will increase by all this extra media hype. god its all exciting stuff.

Then why is it #2 on their chart, far behind KITN? Why doesn't it have any effect? -_-

But did you the latest headlines:

"I really fancy Cheryl Cole and want to be George Michael..."

 

I think it's opposite... "I really fancy GM and want to be Cheryl Cole..." :whip:

These midweek sales were posted on DS

was sales data missing for wednesday? i mean only 8k seems very low, you can see though her downloads were very very frontloaded, i would expect the same with joe.

i cant see joes physicals being as big as leona. so i guess tomorrow we will have a better idea! so did leona sell almost 20k less that alex and pulle dit back to with in 5k. i cant wait! exciting stuff.

Then why is it #2 on their chart, far behind KITN? Why doesn't it have any effect? -_-

 

You're not keeping track of the conversation - that comment was about Leon Jackson and his ability to pass 500,000 total sales, lol.

Hasn't it been confirmed the biggest X Factor physical in modern days was 100k for "Hero"? :huh: It's never gonna be bigger than that, and supermarkets are not gonna gross much because roughly 95% of the clients hate the song -_-

Alexandra is bound to have sold more physicals than 100,000, well I'd have thought so. It had Woolworths' closure on its side. I doubt she sold 900k+ downloads.
