Wow, this is VERY strange... but it seems Radio 1 may have been alerted to this, as they seemed to change last minute to the chart of the week, and they only announced this week's top 10 singles in the show...

 

The OCC will put the 'Revised' Singles & Albums Charts on their Site,

next Week. Stored in their Archives, as the usual Top 40's.

 

In the meantime, the 'Revised' Top 40's are on the Radio 1 Site:,

Here are the 'Revised' Sales of the Top 10 Albums

(The 1st figure is the original Total. The 2nd is the

'Revised' Total - which is also the CORRECT Total).

 

The UK's Top 10 Albums - W/E 1st January 2011

The Sales for each of these Titles have been 'Revised' downwards

by roughly a Fifth of the initially reported Totals.

 

 

I'm just going to post the sales in the proper sales thread
The OCC will put the 'Revised' Singles & Albums Charts on their Site,

next Week. Stored in their Archives, as the usual Top 40's.

 

But what about the rest of the chart? I assume it'll be correct when Chartsplus sends out the top 200s later in the week

 

According to M!key the only other changes in the singles chart are Not Afraid/Better Than Today, Sex On Fire/Shame and Don't Stop Believin'/Bad Romance swapping.

Charts+ have said they will publish the revised chart. However, that means it may be a little late this week.

Thanks.

 

Those original sales *seemed* too good to be true - and they *were*. :rolleyes:

 

Averaging 19.5% high - I guess that provides a basis for correcting my YTD calculations, at least.

They really were. :( The top 3 albums still sold more than the US top 3 though, that's something at least.

I'd imagine that 18-20% of the market for top albums is a decent estimate for Tesco, especially at Christmas time. If it was to do with a supermarket then I'm guessing their sales will have been counted twice for whatever reason. It also stands as a lot of the albums that have fallen are typical supermarket fodder, you probably wouldn't find Deadmau5 or Daft Punk in a supermarket, which is why they've both gone up 6 places.
shows how ridiculously CONTROLLED the chart is nowadays with singles and albums stocked at supermarkets having a much better chance of being sucessful!!
