Posted March 12, 201114 yr This is using the same estimated sales I use for my YTD charts - it is calculated on a 52-week moving average. Pos Est.Av.Sales 1 98100 2 68050 3 55450 4 47950 5 43200 6 39200 7 35800 8 33400 9 30850 10 28100 15 19150 20 14800 25 12150 30 10150 35 8450 40 7200 45 6100 50 5400 55 4800 60 4300 65 3850 70 3500 75 3250 80 3020 90 2640 100 2320 125 1800 150 1500 175 1260 200 1100 Before you ask though, I don't have the same figures for albums.
March 12, 201114 yr Thanks for this! :) The way things are going, I could see the #1 getting to 100,000 soon. I think it's sold over 100,000 most weeks this year so far, and it happened a lot towards the end of last year too.
March 12, 201114 yr wonder if the no 40 will ever averag 10k?? in maybe 5 years the no1 will sell over 100k on average and the n40 maybe 10k - thats een more than the 90s highs.the no1 might not reguarly sell 250k but the overall chart is selling much more which is good.you can see even this year sales have went up a level when i thought they might even out!!

Less than 5 years probably. I'm pretty sure the average for a #1 in 2011 only is already 100,000. The #40 averaging 10,000 will probably take more than 5 years though! Infact, I don't think it'll ever happen. I can see sales starting to decrease before it ever gets to that point.
March 12, 201114 yr Author Less than 5 years probably. I'm pretty sure the average for a #1 in 2011 only is already 100,000. It's currently 102.8k, but Adele won't keep propping it up forever... :P
March 20, 201114 yr Author is this the average for 2011 or 2010? or isn't their much of a difference? As I mentioned at the start of the first post, it is a 52-week moving average, so it is part-2010 & part-2011. :)
March 20, 201114 yr At the same point last year (Mar 09 - Mar 10), what was the average for #1? I know there was that long run of the #1s selling over 100k, which included Cheryl Cole and RATM, so I'm guessing it could have been close to 100k?
