Edited December 30, 200717 yr by Music Maniac

this is odd, Believe again has dropped from number 6 to 11 (5 spots) this week

still number 5 with physical sales but down one to number 14 on downloads

 

here is something i do not understand. DON'T HOLD BACK by The Potbelleez was number 20 on physical sales compared with BA at number 5. on the downloads The Potbelleez were number 11 and BA was 14.

 

so how were they number 10 and BA was 11? do downloads count more than physical these days?

 

also THE WAY I ARE by Timbaland Feat. Keri Hilson is at number 6 on the overall. how does this work when the song isnt in the top fifty physical and is number 3 on downloads? shouldnt BA be higher in the overall chart?

Nice to see Delta move back up the album chart...shame about the single falling :(

Full sales report ala Mikey this week:

 

Timbaland Ousts Eagles In Final Chart of 2008

by Paul Cashmere - December 31 2007

 

 

Timbaland has crept in front of the Eagles for the final chart of 2008.

 

 

Timbaland's 'Shock Value' sold 23,563 units including 661 downloads. The Eagles 'Long Road Out Of Eden' moved 21,960 units including 130 downloads.

 

Aussie Christmas trees were loaded up with Delta Goodrem, Matchbox Twenty and Justin Timberlake CDs.

 

Delta's 'Delta' moved back up to No.3 after shifting 19,562 units (with 283 downloads).

 

Matchbox Twenty 'Exile On Mainstream' stayed steady at No.4 with 19,469 units sold (including 267 downloads).

 

Justin Timberlake's 2007 hit 'FutureSex/LoveSounds' was at No.5 after moving 18,101 units (with 330 downloads).

 

The rest of the top 10 was:

 

6. Guy Sebastian 'The Memphis Album'

7. Human Nature 'Get Ready'

8. Tina Arena 'Songs Of Love & Loss'

9. Michael Buble 'Call Me Irresponsible'

10. The Veronicas 'Hook Me Up'.

 

Compilation albums are not included in the Album Chart.

 

When including compilations, the real biggest selling album in Australia last week was 'So Fresh: The Hits of Summer 2008 + The Best of 2007'. The 'So Fresh' compilation sold 33,705 units in total.

 

Digital sales for music in Australia have never been higher and the combination of Christmas and the iPod has accelerated that.

 

 

Music sales for single tracks last week accounted for 84.3% of the Top 40. In the week before, digital sales made up 62% of the chart and 61.8% the week before that.

 

Of the 197,821 Top 40 singles sold last week in Australia, 166,899 were digital and only 30,922 were physical CDs.

 

In the previous week, 48,437 CDs sold compared to 79,248 digital tracks on total sales of 127,685 for the Top 40.

 

81.3% of the 21,116 units sold for this week's number one song 'Apologize' by Timbaland were digital. 'Apologize' sold 17,172 downloads. At No. 6, 99.4% of Timbaland's 'The Way I Are' sales were downloads.

 

The digital download also put Silverchair right back in the Top 40. 98.2% of the sales of their single 'Straight Lines' were digital. On the 42 physical CD sales the same song sold, it song did not even make the Top 100 physical CD chart.

 

For the overall Top 100, 85.9% of sales were digital. Some titles even charted without selling a single CD single.

 

A number of songs in the Top 100 sold 100% as download sales with zero for CD sales.

 

They were:

No. 44 '1234' by Feist

No. 49 'Crank That' by Soula Boy

No. 67 'Long Road To Ruin' by Foo Fighters

No. 69 'Sleep Through The Static' by Jack Johnson

No. 73 'Rehab' by Amy Winehouse

No. 75 'Nobody Knows' by Powderfinger

No. 87 'Open Your Eyes' by Snow Patrol

No. 98 'Stranger' by Hilary Duff.

 

The news is both positive and negative for the music industry. It certainly heralds the death of the CD single but the music industry cannot survive on $1.69 purchases alone.

 

The trend is yet to carry over to albums. Only 2.1% of the 555,944 album sales from last week's Top 100 were digital.

 

1.8% of the 410,593 units in the Top 40 albums and 1.4% of the 175,921 units in the Top 10 albums were digital sales.

What are delta's total album sales now? Platinum is 70k.. isn't it? She must be nearing 140 by now? surely.

What are delta's total album sales now? Platinum is 70k.. isn't it? She must be nearing 140 by now? surely.

 

Definitely a good estimate. Undercover hasn't posted her sales every week though, so I'd give a good estimate of 130,000-145,000 copies. Definitely enough to rank in the top 15/20 best selling albums of the year on the Aussie Year End chart.
