January 9, 201510 yr Author I calculated the % of total sales figures myself, so there may be some errors (I've double checked them and they look ok). Now 50, Jack White, Lana Del Rey - an estimate of their totals was used to calculate the %.
January 10, 201510 yr Lana did very well in vinyl sales, especially Born to Die!!! I wish Ultraviolence did better in total album sales though.
January 10, 201510 yr Author Lana did very well in vinyl sales, especially Born to Die!!! I wish Ultraviolence did better in total album sales though. The estimate for Ultraviolence is 450k.
January 10, 201510 yr I hope Ultraviolence manages to push gold when her third album comes out. Hopefully it's a success. The album sales are obviously terrible compared to 2013 but for a while it looked like we'd only get 1 million seller so getting 4 could be worse. Very mediocre year on the singles front though :(
January 10, 201510 yr Wow at Pentatonix managing to sell over 1 million in the latter half of the year though :o It was pretty much stable for the entire run up to christmas.
