November 21, 201014 yr Can u give the #1 % increase with Charity and the X Factor winners single removed from both years?
November 21, 201014 yr Not surprising when this year we've had tracks around no. 7 selling near 50k. In comparison a fair few weekly sales tallies for no . 1 hits in 2008 struggled to sell that amount.
November 21, 201014 yr Even more than "fair few": basically most of 2008 #1 weeks were under 50k: 01 12 Jan 32.098 Leon Jackson When You Believe 02 19 Jan 35.112 Basshunter Now You’re Gone 03 26 Jan 47.930 Basshunter Now You’re Gone 04 02 Feb 43.841 Basshunter Now You’re Gone 05 09 Feb 38.356 Basshunter Now You’re Gone 06 16 Feb 35.739 Basshuner Now You’re Gone 07 23 Feb 38.366 Duffy Mercy 11 22 Mar 40.778 Duffy Mercy 14 12 Apr 49.690 Estelle featuring Kanye West American Boy 15 19 Apr 39.376 Estelle featuring Kanye West American Boy 16 26 Apr 40.364 Madonna feat.

November 21, 201014 yr No, I mean KOL. P!nk did it as well I see. In fact, a few others did it. Basshunter, Duffy, Estelle, Madonna, Dizzee. :o Yep. I actually missed out the second week (it was the 3rd week I'm looking at). Whoopsie. :kink:

November 21, 201014 yr Do you have a list of the best-selling singles since you began tracking sales vidcapper? I think it would be interesting to see, thanks in advance.
November 21, 201014 yr Author Can u give the #1 % increase with Charity and the X Factor winners single removed from both years? It doesn't alter much - just up 10% to 96%, although don't forget that it was RATM, not an XF or Charity single that had the highest sales last Xmas...
November 21, 201014 yr Author Do you have a list of the best-selling singles since you began tracking sales vidcapper? I think it would be interesting to see, thanks in advance. This is my usual list, sorted by total sales, rather than YTD - its the best I can do at short notice. 1 Black Eyed Peas I Gotta Feeling 1088400 2 Kings Of Leon Sex On Fire 1044400 3 Lady Gaga Pokerface 1009500 4 Cheryl Cole Fight For This Love 920200 5 Lady Gaga Bad Romance 860100 6 Lady GaGa ft Colby O'Donis Just Dance 857000
November 21, 201014 yr It doesn't alter much - just up 10% to 96%, although don't forget that it was RATM, not an XF or Charity single that had the highest sales last Xmas... Is that (96%) with or without RATM?

November 21, 201014 yr Erm, they didn't. They sold seven fewer copies. They did: they sold seven fewer copies on their 3rd week than on their 1st. But this list excludes their 2nd week because they sold more than 50k that week, while I was talking about the weeks where #1s were under 50k.

November 21, 201014 yr Erm, they didn't. They sold seven fewer copies. Look again - the first week listed is week 37, the second week listed is week 39. On week 38 they sold over 50k.

November 21, 201014 yr Most of the 2008 songs that increased their sales in their 2nd week at #1 were due to the song's physical release (Basshunter being an exception).
November 22, 201014 yr Interesting figures, the top 10 as far as singles go in the UK has definitley changed drastically, i'd be even more curious to know the increase in sales % from 2004/05 vs 2010, seeing as how recentley some acts have had to sell over 30k just to peak at #10 when back in 04/05 thats how much the average #10 single sold in its entire chart life.
