DVD Outsells CD For The First Time In Australia

by Paul Cashmere

 

July 19 2006

 

For the first time ever in Australia, the number one music DVD has outsold the number one CD.

 

The battle of the week was between Muse and Pink Floyd.

 

The Floyd DVD 'Pulse' has been one of the most anticipated releases since AC/DC's 'Family Jewels' and The Eagles 'Live From Melbourne' but had the luxury of being a year down the track for greater impact.

 

And it did …

 

Pink Floyd's 'Pulse sold more than 16,000 units in Australia last week compared to around 14,700 for Muse 'Black Holes and Revelations'.

 

DVD sales rarely top 10,000 units in a single week in Australia with the average number one title normally achieving often around 3000.

 

'Pulse' captured Pink Floyd's 1994 Division Bell tour.

 

It featured the Floyd line-up of David Gilmour, Richard Wright and Nick Mason.

 

The highlight of the disc is an entire performance of the 'Dark Side of the Moon'.
