January 13, 201610 yr It's so strange, this mentality of people mass buying music by someone just because they die! Did they not think to buy it before? Are they actual fans or are they just jumping on the bandwagon? I did have a listen to some of my favourite Bowie tracks on Spotify yesterday but it hasn't made me rush out and buy his albums... am I just being too insensitive?  I wouldn't say they're mass buying. The numbers are just up. It's not as if millions of people are buying his albums. It's gonna be 20 or 30 thousand for most of them at most and it'll be concentrated in the most popular 10 or 15 albums. That's 450,000 - which in ordinary sales terms is amazing but when you consider the population of the country it's hardly mass buying.  I wonder if we'll get a figure on his total sales this week - my rough estimate could be far too low.

January 13, 201610 yr Any chance of a Craig David climb? More than likely, considering how well he did in the monday mids update

January 13, 201610 yr Where's 1D in both Singles/Albums chart? Please Joe :D Still a none mover for History, Perfect 36, DMD top 60. Made in the AM is just outside the top 10 :o Adele falling to No. 4? The floppage :o I did a double take! Ellie's "Army" in retreat out of Top 40 Singles? It's sadly only just top 50 now.
January 13, 201610 yr Hopefully this is the last week Bieber is at #1. I'm still loving the song but it's time to let someone else have a go (hopefully Stitches)Â Good to see Snakehips and 99 Souls holding up. Secret Love Song needs to get a move on though :wub:Â The Slayage of David tho *.* :dance:
January 13, 201610 yr Oooh, climbs to new peaks for 99 Souls and Robin Schulz. Nice! I can't believe Adele is now below JB in the albums.
January 13, 201610 yr Justin Bieber overtaking Adele :o I reckon David Bowie's new album lost quite a few sales yesterday as most places had sold out, so that could pick up again once shops get more stock in.  Are Coldplay still in the Top 10 albums?
January 13, 201610 yr I hope Adele is saving her money because it seems she won't be making much of it this year (cos she's a flop!!11 lmafo!!1)
January 13, 201610 yr Stitches only sold ~500-600 copies less than Love Yourself yesterday, and with its constant increases on iTunes and Spotify, it should definitely secure the #1 next week :D
January 13, 201610 yr Within touching distance of the top 40! I bet they'd still be in there if you take out the David Bowie songs
January 13, 201610 yr Wish people would stop saying Adele had flopped ! The albums sold 2.5 million in 8 weeks far from a flop ! Stop going on! It's getting boring ! Edited January 13, 201610 yr by Mart123
January 13, 201610 yr Wish people would stop saying Adele had flopped ! The albums sold 2.5 million in 8 weeks far from a flop ! Stop going on! It's getting boring ! They'll never learn. It's the same people who always perpetuate it and think it's 'hilarious'.
