YTD Sales : Please read these guidelines before you request sales estimates, it makes my task a lot easier.

 

1. Be specific - please name the artist and title for each entry you'd like an estimate for.

2. I log sales for all albums that have charted this year, but only update those that have sold enough to reach my 200 position tracking range

3. If an album isn't in the current Top 100, I won't be able to update its sales until Tues. Also, please don't ask about ex-T100 albums too often - once a month at most)

4. Remember to check the thread before requesting estimates - they may already have been answered. Also, no more than half-a-dozen requests at a time, thanks.

5. Please note my figures are combined sales & streams, and since I have no way of separating them, I cannot provide a split.

6. While I am no longer estimating singles sales, I can provide YTD singles positions from C+, and I am still maintaining my sales archive based on published figures (PM me if you want to see it)

 

 

Thank you.

Can see George Ezra getting to 750k hopefully and a million by the end of next year!

750k would mean 40k/week? Not happening, it sold under 20k last week.

Hopefully for a couple of weeks he will sell 50k and make up the slightly lower sales from this week, we will see I guess.

Didn't realise TBH&C had already been out of the top 100 for a month.

 

Dear oh dear.

Updated to T40

I thought Kylie Golden may slip but looks like it could overtake a few in front of it if momentum in lead up to Xmas can keep going. top 30 for the year would be brilliant but happy with top 40.

Edited December 4, 20186 yr by SmileyKylie

It's quite close up there so Golden should make it with the current single promo!0

Do you have an estimate for Dancing Queen by Cher? My estimate is about 52.6k.

The mother in top ten <3

Am I the only one who thinks the Jess Glynne album is underperforming?

Usually the question is how many albums will sell a million but this year I’m guessing is how many albums will sell enough to go platinum

Yeh I'm sort of delighted we had a consistent huge seller in the year in between an Adele/Ed Sheeran release which sold well over a million as this papers over the cracks.

Jess's first album was already loaded with hits before it came out.
