October 28, 201113 yr Surely that figure for Labrinth is a bit low? It shifted 53k in its first two days, I'm sure it will have done more than 22k more in the 3 (and a bit) days since.

The chart doesn't include Sunday sales - that's why the sales are low (and it's also why songs with a large weekend effect always do worse than they should in it).

I think all of the sales are low tbh. They must be average sales of the past 5 years as stated in the post ;) I was thinking the same - given sales at the top of the chart have increased by (what?) 100% over the last 5 years, its a bit silly to use an average of the last 5 years as its a constant moving target - surely it would be better if the author has access to iTunes sales data to gross up to actual sales (as posted by music week), say, the iTunes sales for the top 10 from last week (or the last 5 weeks) and apply that "% gross up from iTunes sales -> actual sales" to the iTunes sales data from Monday-Friday that the author has access to.
