How do you know that 2004 is the bottom end extreme year if you don't have the data for any of the other years?!

I never buy clothes :P not unless the ones I have are falling apart. Advantages of living at home and seeling alot of stuff on ebay I guess.

 

 

Between Spotify and Music TV I cherry pick my favourite songs and make MixTapes. I've been making mixtapes like that since I was 12* when I realised that at best I liked half the songs on a compilation album. I can churn out a 20 track CD maybe 4 times a year when the going is good. During the mid-00's (04-07) it was lean, I was getting 2 to 3.

 

*with Downloads I can now do it legally!

 

I still buy albums though, the albums have to be really good though. I've bought more albums this year than ever before.

Something else to ponder...

 

In 2004 only 4 singles sold over 300k. :o

 

In 2011 54 have already passed 300k, with 5 weeks still to go! :)

 

IRO 200k, it is 16 vs 104, and 100k : 44 vs 165

The £5 CD won't disappear. It will perhaps take longer to discount. You can get Noah and the Whale's- Last Night on Earth and Tinie Tempah's- Disc-Overy for under £4 at Amazon now. That is the type of deal that will become the £5 CD.

 

I can't see how this is going to help retailers though. HMV itself is going through a bad time even with a thriving online business. This is just going to reduce profits for them even more and lead to more closures of stores. If HMV can't survive, there is no hope for the indies anyway.

It should reduce the differential between online prices and shop prices. That may help retailers such as HMV.

What does this mean?

What does this mean?

 

'In Respect Of'

'In Respect Of'

 

Oh. Shouldn't that be 'to', not 'of'?

What is the point of this thread? We know that single sales are higher in 2011 than they were in 2004, why go on about it? :huh:

Becase this is a chart forum, and this thread is about the charts? :rolleyes:

Not really - 'to' doesn't start with an 'o'. :P

No.

'Of' is when you are referencing something.

'To' is when you are relating to something.

 

I seem to remember being 14 and feeling to the correct every bit of language I didnt feel comfortable with, but there is no such thing as 'wrong english', or 'incorrect'.

"In Respect Of" is the commoner phrase of the two though (though "with respect to" is even more common)

So basically what I just said?

Whats the difference in actual sales revenue, as opposed to sales units. Remember most downloads are at least half the price of physicals.(even allowing for inflations its even less)

So if someone sells 100K in 2004 and 150K in 2011, they have more units sold, but less revenue.?.

 

 

 

No.

What - you mean I'm anti-rap for nothing? ;)

Dosen't mean that you have to patronize me by using that emoticon -_-

Any chance we could get back on topic, instead of this petty squabbling?

 

I was wondering about sales revenue v quantity..(see my previous post).

THanks

 

 

No.

There is very much such thing as 'wrong English'. This isn't an example of it and I was clearly mistaken to think it was ('with respect to' sounds more natural to me although I guess that doesn't come with a catchy acronym :lol:) but that doesn't mean nothing can be 'wrong' in English. English is a language, if you speak/write/type it grammatically incorrectly then it is 'wrong English'.

I have no idea about revenue - sorry.
