Posted April 4, 200620 yr The physical release of Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy (Warner Bros) will ensure the single remains at the summit of the single chart this weekend, after registering almost 50,000 over-the-counter sales yesterday. Retail reports suggest the single, which famously reached number one last week based solely on digital sales, has already trumped last week’s sales total after just one day’s physical sales. It is outselling the rest of the top 15 combined, and is keeping Mary J Blige & U2’s One (Geffen), which itself climbs from number 19, from number one. The Zutons’ Why Won’t You Give Me Your Love (Deltasonic) heads a brace of new entries from Michael Jackson (Epic), Franz Ferdinand (Domino), Belle & Sebastian (Rough Trade), The Charlatans (Creole) and Larrikin Love (Infectious). The albums chart enters a new phase this weekend, with legal downloads counting towards eventual chart placings for the first time. This ruling is unlikely to stop Morrissey scoring his first number album since 1994’s Vauxhall And I, with new effort Ringleader Of The Tormentors (Attack) beating a host of Top 40 debuts from Pink (LaFace), The Flaming Lips (Warner Bros), Stereophonics (V2), Lacuna Coil (Century Media) and Secret Machines (Reprise). Massive Attack’s Collected looks set to remain at number two, while The Kooks’ Inside In, Inside Out is experiencing a 58% sales increase that will see it rise within the Top Ten. Lower down the chart, Gorillaz’ eponymous album has rebounded back into the Top 20, where it sold just one copy less than current album Demon Days yesterday.

April 4, 200620 yr I'm assuming about 150k plus :o feck me WOW, I knew it would do well! an I'm glad as it shows that the physical single stil has the power! :lol:
April 4, 200620 yr Larrikin Love - Edwould :wacko: wow! in the top 40! nearly bought this yeasterday, but got belle as it was on special offer
April 4, 200620 yr I expected this-when I was in the queue to buy it in Virgin yesterday every single person in the queue had a copy of it in their hand :-0 So 50,000 physical sales +probably 10,000 digital sales (including sundays). So 60k in one day-this song will surely sell 200k by the end of the week :-0 Just proves that it doesn't have to be a chartiy record/talent show winner to produce excellent sales
April 4, 200620 yr Just proves that it doesn't have to be a chartiy record/talent show winner to produce excellent sales I know, its strange really - I wouldn't call it a novelty record either yet its outselling every single this year (I think). :o

So 60k in one day-this song will surely sell 200k by the end of the week :-0 Just proves that it doesn't have to be a chartiy record/talent show winner to produce excellent sales to be honest that sounds about right 200k, it stands a good chance to be the best selling single of the year, and Shayne Ward has got no chance of reaching NO.1 in a fortnite, me thinks its got a good 5 week run at No.1.
April 4, 200620 yr Will be nice to see a song get more than 2 weeks at No.1...high turnover so far this year (though not like last year...)
April 4, 200620 yr to be honest that sounds about right 200k, it stands a good chance to be the best selling single of the year, and Shayne Ward has got no chance of reaching NO.1 in a fortnite, me thinks its got a good 5 week run at No.1. :dance: I hope you are right, Mikey! 50k in a day- woah! :o I was hoping it would sell loads, but not that much!!
April 4, 200620 yr Brilliant sales for Gnarls Barkley and I'm glad that there finally is a big selling single. I think this could probaby be at the top for 4 weeks.
April 4, 200620 yr WOW! :o Never expected that at all :o At least it shows the physical single still has power :cheer:
April 4, 200620 yr WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? unbelievable? What the hell? what's going on? Goodbye Shayne!
