YTD Sales Estimates – Helpful suggestions :

 

Please check these notes before you request sales estimates - it makes my task a lot easier (apologies to regulars for the repetition).

 

Important : Most of the big hits from before 2012 will now have dropped from my tracking range after the Y/E reset, so the Y/E 2012 thread should be your first port of call for those now.

 

1. Please state clearly which artist + title of single/album you want an estimate for (as they are held on separate spreadsheets), and whether YTD and/or total sales

 

2. I'd be grateful if you could try to keep requests down to a reasonable number - say no more than a half-dozen or so.

 

3. I only track singles/albums that debut, or have charted significantly in the current year, with the proviso that they are also in my tracking range (roughly YTD T200). Also, please don't ask for anything that debuted before 2009 - I won't be able to help..

 

4. Finally, please check the thread before requesting estimates - they may already have been answered.

 

Regards,

 

**********

 

Sales other than ones quoted by MW will be extremely speculative this week, but at least I know the *positions* will be correct. :)

Including these sales, is 925,000 about right for Olly Murs Incase you didnt know album?
If a song comes back into the chart during a specific year like say - The Script - The man who cant be moved last year - how do you get an approximate figure for sales in intervening years - just hope MW come up with a tally?

Only if aroumnd 12k of his sales have disappeared... :P

 

I bet this weeks YTD were hard. :P

 

Positions were easy (though there's always a chance a budget album may slip in unnoticed), but whenever there are few NE's or sales increases, it makes extrapolating unknown sales a PITA. :(

Basically, yes. I keep a summary spreadsheet where I log all the total sales figures that MW/OZAP etc post.

 

Fortunately, steady trickle-sellers like this tend to remain in the top 200, so I can track them week-by-week.

Total sales for all 3 new Green Day records, Alicia Keys - Girl On Fire album and Glassheart - Leona please.

Total sales for wings single, DNA single please

 

Have you got sales for Bright Lights and Halcyon?

 

These will have to wait until later in the week - I *did* mention about total sales in the line before the word 'Singles' in my notes.

 

Thanks.

Random snippet - I have ~336k charting sales logged for DJ Fresh-Gold Dust, plus 37 weeks outside the charts - I would therefore guess 360k +/- 5k in total.

Seems odd that 'Halcyon' has sold around the same as 'Believe' overall and will likely overtake it this week.

Could I trouble you at all for

 

The Killers - Battle Born total

The Killers - Runaways total

 

And if you have them

Hurts - Happiness total

U2 - No Line on the Horizon total

 

Thanks a lot!
