November 1, 201213 yr I've wondered this myself, can someone clear it up? I suppose they count towards certain country charts such as the Australian and German ones. But either way they have to be included in worldwide sales. I'm sure that the international country will have no idea that an album has been bought from the UK (for example)
November 1, 201213 yr I presume those are just lost sales. They don't count towards UK sales totals, and they don't count towards the international countries total sales. I'm not sure, I assume just lost sales. I know they deffo don't count towards UK chart though, as Melanie C tweeted about it or her team did in response to a question about her limited edition CD singles she sells off her site if purchased by non UK residents and they don't count.
November 1, 201213 yr I'm quite gobsmacked dumbfounded at Robbies sales for Candy, it's been around for ages already, maybe it won't hang around for long after the album release, if Robbie Williams can sell 73k in midweeks after an x-factor performance, what the heck will Olly Murs sell? he'll prance and march around the stage just like Robbie, but will he lap dance Louis?:lol: It will fall fast - should be no3/4 by next weeks chart as BYB is already gaining on it due to its more stable sales over the week but Robbie still has GN on friday night!!
November 1, 201213 yr With a 8,000 sales lead Kylie is sure to get that number 2 position.However, i wouldnt totally rule number 1 out as she has reduced Calvins lead by 2,500 in just a day so she is doing well. I would agree the album should hold steady over the next while due to some good promotion. This is looking ever likely to become another platinum selling album for Kylie. I really think the record company should not have gone with that recent best of and instead added it as a bonus disc to this abbey roads as it would have helped add more sales in my opinion.

I really think the record company should not have gone with that recent best of and instead added it as a bonus disc to this abbey roads as it would have helped add more sales in my opinion. I think this refers to yesterday's chart - Calvin never was 5,000 ahead of Kylie, he was always only 2,500 ahead. There were conflicting reports from OCC and Music Week yesterday.
November 1, 201213 yr People normally get confused when it comes to CDs (singles) and LPs sold on artists websites, they may sell 2,000 copies of it but only those that are posted to a UK address count towards the UK chart. Timebomb had 5,000 CD singles sold from the website didn't it? This from Music Week in July "Meanwhile, eight weeks after reaching number 31 following its release as a download, Kylie Minogue's Timebomb has been issued on CD and recovers 147-42 (6,172 sales)." Presumably most of the 5k CDs were sold to UK people? Actually the mixes were out on iTunes that week too so who knows the split!

This will never be a platinum album. Gold at best.
November 1, 201213 yr I think if The Abbey Road Sessions manages to remain top 40 around the christmas period, that could bolster its sales really well. I think it'll easily do over 100,000 in total but there won't really be anything to stabilise or return it to the chart once it's gone.

Presumably most of the 5k CDs were sold to UK people? Actually the mixes were out on iTunes that week too so who knows the split! I'm pretty sure it must have sold more than 1,172 digital copies that week, given as you as the remixes were released to Itunes that week.

November 1, 201213 yr If it holds up over Christmas it could end up doing 300k Only with promo. Is that looking likely?
November 1, 201213 yr Only with promo. Is that looking likely? She's doing Strictly Come Dancing, Children in Need and Royal Variety. Promo is key though - the album shot up the charts last week after she sang a verse and chorus of Never Too Late on Jonathan Ross
November 1, 201213 yr She's doing Strictly Come Dancing, Children in Need and Royal Variety. Promo is key though - the album shot up the charts last week after she sang a verse and chorus of Never Too Late on Jonathan Ross The Abbey Road version of On a Night Like This is being released as a single on 17 December, so Radio 2 will inevitably playlist that which will help the album.
November 2, 201213 yr This will never be a platinum album. Gold at best. It in my opinion stands a great chance of platinum, she will open with decent sales of at least 50,000 this week, her promotion is lined up over a period rather than all in one go and its the style of music that fits in with the Christmas market, this album will surprise even Kylie fans with its success.
November 2, 201213 yr Midweek Charts update: Robbie hits highest sales since 2000 Source: MW by Paul Willams Candy has become Robbie Williams' fastest-selling single in the UK in 12 years having sold more than 100,000 copies in just five days. His first single since switching to Island Records had shifted 100,209 units by the end of business on Thursday, according to the Official Charts Company, to put it on course to give him a seventh solo singles chart-topper on Sunday. The last single by Williams to open with more sales week one was Rock DJ, which debuted at No 1 in August 2000 with 199,334 copies sold. Although Candy is unlikely to come anywhere near that, it does have two more days to add further sales to its current tally this week. The huge demand for the single - which is co-written by Williams with Gary Barlow and Terje Olsen - follows a perfomance of it on last Sunday's X Factor results show and provides a perfect set-up for his first Island album Take The Crown, released next week. Performed on The X Factor the previous weekend, Syco act Labrinth's Beneath Your Beautiful featuring Emeli Sande drops 1-2 in the midweeks, while the One More Tune/Warner-Bros issued an You Hear me (Ayayaya) by Wiley with Skepta, JME and Ms D is new at 3. Adele's XL-issued Bond theme Skyfall is now reviving following the film's debut last week with sales up 62% on the week to lift it 7-4 on Sales Flashes. On albums Columbia act Calvin Harris has extended his lead at the top with his newly-issued third album 18 Months, which by the end of trading on Thursday was around 8,000 sales ahead of nearest challenger, The Abbey Road Sessions by Parlophone's Kylie Minogue. At the beginning of the week Harris was just a few hundred sales ahead. Virgin act Emeli Sande drops 2-3 with Our Version Of Events, while Atlantic/Fueled By Ramen's Fun rally 33-4 with Some Nights following an X Factor appearance. Its sales are 427% up on the week so far. Harris and Minogue are joined by three other brand new releases in the Top 10 artist albums positions at this point in the week with ATCO/Rhino's Mick Hucknall at 6 with American Soul, Matt Cardle at 8 with his first non-Sony release The Fire on the So What label through Silva Screen and Madness's first Cooking Vinyl outing Oui Oui Si Si Ja Ja Da Da at 9.
