Unfortunately I have very few figures lower down the chart for 2004, but what I do have, suggests sales for the #75 are about *5 times* higher now!
August 5, 201014 yr Interesting, thanks for posting vidcapper. The #1 being double the #2 in 2004 looks odd - is there something underlying that (e.g. a plethora of charity singles) in 2004?

I'd guess Band Aid 20? Eamon also sold quite well. Sales just dropped off so massively week on week though back then :wacko: Thanks for this Vidcapper.

August 5, 201014 yr Also, perhaps minus Helping Haiti from this year, if you haven't already. This is interesting though. It appears from those figures that single sales are higher in 2010, and also that the charts are more closely contested now. Out of interest, does anybody know the year that had the highest average sales for a #1. Doing this with album sales would show quite a different story though, I suspect. :lol:

August 6, 201014 yr Author Id like to see this but vs 2006 sales *shudders* :lol: 2006 : 1 55969 2 29945 3 23232 4 20660 5 17791 6 15780 7 14344 8 13279 9 12208 10 10843 11 10108 12 9250 13 8988 14 8288 15 8051 16 7622 17 7180 18 6909 19 6521 20 6464
August 6, 201014 yr Author Something else, too - notice how ratio of lower position's sales, compared to the #1, has just about doubled in 6 years...
