July 2, 201015 yr Well if you look at the mathematics of it - if it's been in the Top 100 each week then it has a fair chance of being in the Top 100 of the year. *each week bar one :kink: That would make more sense if the amount each song sold in the top 100 went up steadily each position - Sex On Fire has only been as high as #30 this year, which wouldn't have got it many sales (though having said that it was in a very high sales week) and has spent most of the last few months in the lowest quarter of the top 100, so I would expect at least 100 other songs which got higher for a few more weeks but didn't necessarily hang around as long to have eclipsed KoL's YTD sales... That made no sense, but I hope you understand my point :lol: Nonetheless, pleased to see SOF top 100 YTD, but it'll probably fall out next week.
July 3, 201015 yr Author Could I have the total sales of 'Commander' please? ^_^ I have 42.7k, but it may have sold a bit more than this, since it didn't chart on the first week it was available on iTunes.
July 3, 201015 yr Author Miley Cyrus can't be tamed sales must be something like 70k :| that's quite bad! Then you won't want to hear that even that figure is an over-estimate... I have 65.4k for it.
July 3, 201015 yr Author Yeah, I think Fireflies would be a good year-end number-one, even better than OMG. There are many other good songs, but they don't stand a chance. :( ATM, it doesn't look like selling more than about 650-700k in total, which I suspect will be too few to be the year's best seller. OMG is likely to catch it in a couple of months, anyway.
July 3, 201015 yr Author No they won't! :lol: Their last comeback single, 'Greatest Day', didn't sell much overall, and wasn't even in the top 40 of 2008! :lol: It's still trickle-selling steadily though - probably 20k so far this year...

It's averaged 3.6k/week in 2010, which is the average sales equivalent of #70.
