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.

Edited January 2, 20196 yr by vidcapper

you gonna do a top 100 considering its the last one of the year?

I always do. :)

So pleased for George Ezra.

I hope Cher is top 65. :cheer:

Is that 2018s sales then or do they count next week?

 

Quite happy with my November estimate for Staying at Tamaras - it'll be over 700k by Monday and I predicted 750k!!

Is that 2018s sales then or do they count next week?

 

Since 28-31st Dec is four days, i.e. a majority of a week, then theoretically there should be a 53rd week counting towards 2018 :thinking:

I would say the OCC will count Friday 28th - Thursday 2/1/19 as the first week of 2019 or perhaps due to the majority of days being in 2018?

Well, Take That are in top 10 - you can't place them outside top 10 just because of the alphabetical order. They are gonna overtake Eminem, anyway, this week.

10th place should contain 2 artists and then put on the 11th place the one with the next sales.

Yes, i would think Take That are ahead of Eminem even if just slightly.

My raw data has TT ahead by ~400, but I normally reckon on a 0.25% error margin in my YTD figures...

I think that this is it for 2018. Looking historically any chart dated 10th January (as this Friday's will be) have been Wk 1 of the new year not Wk 53 of the previous one. See 2004, 2009 and 2015 as evidence :dance:

 

IF the OCC is being consistent of course......

Not this week, unless my interpolations are very badly out.

Oops, I meant *behind* by that much... :blush:

Ah, but the chart date switched from Sunday to Friday, so not really comparable...

ASIB comfortably #7, yay! Should be able overtake both B&B and Scorpion early next year.

Why would that matter? The chart date, not the chart day, is the relevant point

It may be telling the the OCC haven't yet published their y/e T40's. :unsure:

Well Done Kylie Minogue! Great return to form.

I'm thinking we won't get the Y/E charts from the OCC until Friday then and that they'll include this week (which means the singles one will be different to the one R1 announced :drama:)
