August 3, 2024Aug 3 Think the new format is great! And thanks for posting the info so promptly every week.
August 3, 2024Aug 3 For the umpteenth time, this doesn't include the original sales before 1994. It's original sales were 910,000 pushing the new total to 1.51M. If we know what the pre 1994 sales figures are why can’t they just be added to the totals for all songs?
August 3, 2024Aug 3 If we know what the pre 1994 sales figures are why can’t they just be added to the totals for all songs? From 1994 to 1996, after Millward Brown took over chart compilation duties from Gallup to compile the charts for what is now the OCC, the research company began to increase the amount of record shops that supplied sales information to them. The intention was to get enough shops that sold records to provide sales information that there was no need to estimate sales under the old method (chart panel sales x multiplier). By 1997 about 99% of all shops that sold singles were providing sales information to Millward Brown. However in 1994 it was only about 75% or so and during the period 1994 to 1997 it increased every few months. The outcome is that the OCC sales database (which is used for certification purposes) only contains the actual sales data it received from all these stores. Remember that in February 1994 this only accounted for about 75% of all stores, increasing over time to 99% in 1997. As a result the sales data held by the OCC underestimates what singles sold in the period 1994 to 1996.
August 4, 2024Aug 4 But we don’t know what pre-1994 sales were for many records, only some record company shipment figures. I got an email from BPI several years ago suggesting they were trying to add pre-1994 sales to present day digital sales but found it too difficult due to large amounts of missing “sales” and record companies no longer in existence. This idea was therefore abandoned. Doubt if we will ever get complete sales figures. The 1994-1997 situation applies also to album sales. (but probably worse than singles). The OCC said a few years ago that the 1994 Beatles album, Live at the BBC, sold 480,000 but other sources at the time said it had shipped around 800,000 copies. A great under-estimation.
