Anyone know where Jay Sean & Alesha Dixon are?

984. Every Little Part of Me (feat. Jay Sean) - Alesha Dixon

 

When is the release date ?

 

6th March, so a while yet!

Chris Brown up to #4 :wub:

3. Indestructible - Robyn

 

As if this is still in the Top 10 in Sweden, it must have sold bucketloads! :o

If only she could repeat that success here :(

 

Anyway, hope Jessie can climb back and make it 2 weeks, and I hope S&M makes top 10

It takes about 2 copies to make the top 10 in Sweden, so doubtful that its sold bucketloads (although maybe a bucket in Sweden is smaller than a bucket in the UK?)

:D

 

Getting a lot of tv airplay now too.. Nice to see him being supported, although I remember I can Transform You & Crawl getting quite bit of support from music channels too

Obviously. I mean, when a #1 sell 50,000 in the UK, we're all like "Oh dear, that's pathetic", but I bet that'd be really good sales for a Swedish #1.

 

And does Robyn always have something top 10 in Sweden? :lol:

Yeah, I meant by normal Swedish music sales is it a bucketload :lol:

She must be such a huge star over there

I think Chris is doing amazing atm, I thought Yeah 3x was an achievement to get into the Top 10 out of no where and when it got 7, I thought it was it's peak the fact that it keeps climbing and is steady on itunes, rather then dropping fast, is simply great for him.

Moment for life, looks like a hit for Nicki Minaj, I am so pleased it's climbing also

Really good? Try incredible. Platinum certification in Sweden is only 20,000, so to sell more than that in one week must be basically unheard of... :lol:

What's the population of Sweden? And what fraction or percentage of sales do they have compared to the population. (eg. UK = #1 Sales Average = 75,000, Population = 65,000,000)

Wow! But musn't it be really easy to get into the charts in Sweden then? Like you could just release a song, ask all your friends to buy it, and you'd chart at #73 or something? :lol:

I don't think anybody knows weekly sales for Sweden, but Gold is 10,000 while Platinum is 20,000 for singles as I said, so based on that I'd be surprised if they got much over five figure weekly sales, and even that's probably rare, so all in all the ratio is probably fairly similar to that of the UK's.

 

For albums it's 20,000 for Gold and 40,000 for Platinum, according to this:

I hope Chris can make it to #3 :wub:

looking at some of those countries, In some places you could probably get a number 1 with less than 100 copies in a quiet week :o

I hope Coming Home can climb to #9, so S&M doesn't knock it out. :(

Well accordingly to this site link, September sold 102 copies on the 6th Feb to be #1 on Swedish itunes, so it probably sells around 700 copies for #1 (obviously it may be more or less depending on the week). I dunno how reliable the site is but it seems quite accurate to me (it lists all countries for itunes on the left), its a good read whether you believe it or not. In Luxemburg you only need about 10 copies a day to be #1 :P

Looks like guessing to me - surely if you only needed a few copies a day to get top 100 on iTunes like this site claims, you'd see some way more random entries lower down there for no reason at all?

Interesting site but I don't believe those sales for a second! That would mean that #1000 on iTunes would sell either 1 copy a day or nothing (how would it even compute what to chart at the lower end?). I read that the average #1 sale in Sweden is between 3,000-5,000 copies a week, although this is vastly inflated when it's Melodifestivalen season. I read last year that Anna Bergendahl sold about 10,000 copies the week after it won the competition. They have a population of 9.3 million so this is the equivalent of a UK #1 selling about 65k with the average #1 selling 20-30k so sales are a lot lower comparatively, but not as low as that site would suggest.

 

Sales though are low enough there to ensure that an act that does a physical single signing tour can quite easily score themselves a top ten hit which has led to some very random top ten's in recent years, which crash out of the top 60 altogether the following week.
