October 7, 20222 yr Author Speaking of pure sales, ouch at As It Was being the runaway biggest seller of the year with 59,000!
October 7, 20222 yr Ed Sheeran needs to double up on his usual 30k of signed CDs to take advantage :kink: LadBaby may actually take the top seller after falling short in previous years, if indeed they do another one this year.
October 7, 20222 yr This isn't a thread about pure sales With a title of '2022 year to date estimates' its not not a thread that includes discussion of pure sales either. The majority of the posts are about the 'chart sales' calculated by the mushing together of real individual purchases and the collective multiple listening/playlist streaming equivalents, but there's no harm in discussing real sales for the purists amongst us. WE know there have been multiple weeks when the no.1 was only so because of the real sales (probably even more so in the albums). Unfortunately real sale data is hard to come by.

November 8, 20222 yr I noticed that Ed Sheeran has re-overtaken Harry Styles in the past few weeks in the album chart. So I'm wondering if he can overtake in time for the year-end chart. Although Harry might benefit more from Christmas sales as his album is actually from this year. Taylor Swift might be the year-end #1 by the looks of things though anyway. I'm glad Dance Monkey has dropped out. I've asked people why they like this song and the usual response is that it's apparently insanely catchy. Well, I am glad there are modern pop songs out there which people enjoy, but I genuinely never found it catchy in the slightest and never once wanted to play it for myself.

November 8, 20222 yr I can see Harry selling better due to the new single even with Celestial and Merry Christmas being re/added over the last two months. ‘Go’ very impressive to be no4 in the singles!
November 9, 20222 yr What are the sales of 'Perfect' and 'Shape of You' as a matter of interest please? Could 'Bad Habit' overtake one day?
November 9, 20222 yr It's now looking touch and go whether Kate will make the YE top 5 with Shivers closing the gap in the weekly charts. As it stands, the top 10 accounts for 28 weeks of the official #1 during 2022, although I expect Bruno with 7 of those will drop out. Sweater Weather in the top 100, love to see it, also 505 on course to finish the year above its official peak of 73 I hope? I expect Anti-Hero will make the final 100 but not very high. At least there's now a potential three-way battle at the top of the albums.
November 9, 20222 yr Author What number is What Else Can I Do? Many thanks! Sorry had missed that in the dropouts list My heart goes #74 362k (690k) Black magic #92 338k (1.07m)
November 9, 20222 yr Author What are the sales of 'Perfect' and 'Shape of You' as a matter of interest please? Could 'Bad Habit' overtake one day? SOY 5.72m Perfect 4.71m Bad habits 2.80m Long way to go haha! I doubt it will ever catch those up really - I can see it doing fairly similar weekly numbers as Perfect within a couple of years. But the battle for #1 of the decade between Bad Habits and Blinding Lights is interesting, with the latter on 3.62m.
November 9, 20222 yr Harry's House looked certain for #1 album of the year but not anymore since the bloated 25-song version of Equals was released Crazy how different would be things without playlist streams!
November 9, 20222 yr Taylor sold more than that on physicals alone in one week so not quite (also most of Harry's numbers do come from people streaming the actual album)
