December 7, 201114 yr Author It is pretty dreadful. Is there any particular reason why sales are so low or is it just one of those freak things? It usually happens at this time of the year, sales takes a dip. I remember Katie Melua getting a week at #1 with a charity track at this time of the year, and I can't even remember the title of the track, it must have been forgettable.

Forgettable version maybe, but it was 'What A Wonderful World' :P

Its funny as the album sales are increasing that singles are decreasing. I guess you can't stick a download in someone's Christmas stocking eh. Take the point re no big releases too.
December 7, 201114 yr Author Could anyone tell me how much 'Down For Whatever' has sold so far? Thanks! 1 copy :( Keep on scrolling And again.... Seriously we don't have any other sales info, all the relevant sales info has been posted.
December 7, 201114 yr Its funny as the album sales are increasing that singles are decreasing. I guess you can't stick a download in someone's Christmas stocking eh. Take the point re no big releases too. That's it in a nutshell (from the Brazil nut at the bottom of the Christmas stocking). Even before downloads albums made better Christmas presents than albums. Downloads have just exacerbated that.
December 7, 201114 yr Author 31, as per the BBC Chart Update http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/update/albums Kevin Rowland :lol: HA
December 7, 201114 yr http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/update/albums Kevin Rowland I wish! - Kevin Rowland made considerably more interesting records than Kelly Rowland. Ignore the party nonsense of "Come On Eileen" and listen to the rest
December 8, 201114 yr Author Midweek Charts update: Sheeran album hits half million Source: MW 13:57 | Thursday December 8, 2011 By Paul Williams Ed Sheeran’s debut album + has this week surpassed half a million sales in the UK as it firmly establishes itself as one of the Christmas market’s biggest sellers.

December 8, 201114 yr Beyonce only #27 even with a big promo show on Sunday? That's a bit dissapointing. Don't think '4' will ever be back in the top twenty, never mind top ten.
December 8, 201114 yr Wonder if someone like the official chart twitter will help us out with the gap between Olly and x Factor at some point today? Wonder how many Lloyd has sold as well? Between those 3 IMO. The top 2 albums are pretty much set in stone but Olly could take over Rebecca.
December 8, 201114 yr Thursday Update Top 40 Only Singles 1 X Factor Finalists HTF can they *still* be #1 - they're just 11th on iTunes! :(
December 8, 201114 yr Author HTF can they *still* be #1 - they're just 11th on iTunes! :( That's what I thought, but we have been saying this every week for the current #1 to fall, it probably drop from the top by the end of the week. Maybe tomorrow, or even Saturday, physical sales must be holding the track up, by 1k at least.
December 8, 201114 yr That's what I thought, but we have been saying this every week for the current #1 to fall, it probably drop from the top by the end of the week. Maybe tomorrow, or even Saturday, physical sales must be holding the track up, by 1k at least. And if they were say 4th/5th on iT & not far off, that would be fair enough - but the iT #1 is now selling 5 copies for every 2 that XFF sells... :o
December 8, 201114 yr Yeah the X Factor single will be a stocking filler for some of the less discerning shoppers. There's now way Olly was gonna do 1600 yesterday after only catching up 200 the day before.
December 8, 201114 yr The wise money would be on Olly being no.1! It's reminscent of the Flo vs RiRi battle a few weeks ago. When she went past 1D her lead was too huge for Flo even if he was closing. Flo had more chance then Lloyd and T-Pain, as him and RiRi were selling larger amounts. The no,1 this week will barely clearly 50k.....DREADFUL! Don't worry - next week it might be 10 times that... ;) Could anyone tell me how much 'Down For Whatever' has sold so far? Thanks! Wrong thread, but anyhow... ~68.5k
December 8, 201114 yr 5 O'Clock is now number one on itunes, wonder if it can reach top 3/5 by Sunday.
December 8, 201114 yr Hmmm I wonder with the XF final and promo there whether XF can sneak a 2nd week Would've thought they would've dropped by now
