January 21, 20169 yr Thanks for these! Looks like streaming will make trickle-sales harder to guess if a song could potentially manage as much as 100k a year without ever reaching the Top 200.
January 21, 20169 yr Author Thanks for these! Looks like streaming will make trickle-sales harder to guess if a song could potentially manage as much as 100k a year without ever reaching the Top 200. I estimate 29 songs sold over 100k without charting in the top 75 all year! :o
January 21, 20169 yr Love checking these stats out - the non-top 75 hits are impressive - especially Tenerife Sea which is just obv being streamed as a fans fav and then the oldest hit being Wonderwall. Any xmas song sales updates?
January 21, 20169 yr Amazing to see such consistent 2k a week sales for Wonderwall even after all these years :o
January 21, 20169 yr 'Post To Be' nearly going silver with a #74 peak *.* wish it was bigger but it's got great sales considering. yay for 'Wake Me Up' trickle selling really well too!
January 21, 20169 yr Author Love checking these stats out - the non-top 75 hits are impressive - especially Tenerife Sea which is just obv being streamed as a fans fav and then the oldest hit being Wonderwall. Any xmas song sales updates? Most of them have pre-1994 sales I don't know about, so any figures I could come up with would be incomplete. Amazing to see such consistent 2k a week sales for Wonderwall even after all these years :o I'm amazed that song has sold 2k in *total*... :teresa:
January 21, 20169 yr I'm amazed that song has sold 2k in *total*... :teresa: :cry: -_- I take it you weren't the Britpop fan then :(
January 22, 20169 yr Author :cry: -_- I take it you weren't the Britpop fan then :( I wasn't following chart music at all back then - Britpop was only a small part of the reason why. :)
January 22, 20169 yr Insane to see the non-top 75 entries. I remember when a top five single was lucky to pass 150k!
January 22, 20169 yr Author Insane to see the non-top 75 entries. I remember when a top five single was lucky to pass 150k! I reckon 82 songs sold over 100k without making the top 30 (at least in 2015 - some did before).
January 22, 20169 yr Author Further info - here are my estimates of the average sales per chart position : Pos - Singles - Albums 1 - 103,000 - 84,000 (*) 2 - 72,000 - 37,000 3 - 56,500 - 28,000 4 - 48,500 - 22,500 5 - 44,500 - 17,500 10 - 32,000 - 10,500 20 - 21,500 - 5,500 30 - 15,500 - 4,000 40 - 12,000 - 3,000 50 - 9,800 - 2,200 75 - 5,800 - 1,400 100 - 4,300 - 1,100 125 - 3,500 - 900 150 - 3,000 - 800 175 - 2,600 - 700 200 - 2,400 - 600 (*) Pre Adele, this average was just 40k :o
