That is a record, proving that downloads are taking over totally. Last week when Ting Tings, hit the top the physical copies sold, only just hit over 4,000. That is the lowest ever a physical, has sold for a Number one selling single. Missing from this top 40 are: DUFFY (WARWICK AVE), COLDPLAY, NEYO, SARA BAREILLES, TAIO CRUZ, FRATELLIS, ALPHABEAT, ZUTONS, FALL OUT BOY, LIL` WAYNE, and SNAP! VAMPIRE WEEKEND would also be at 43, on their download alone hit.
May 21, 200817 yr Shouldn't Fall Out Boy included in your downloads alone list? It was top 30 in the mids :o
May 21, 200817 yr Author Shouldn't Fall Out Boy included in your downloads alone list? It was top 30 in the mids :o Correct Ben. Printing error yesterday! 13 downloads alone in there, ain`t it a sign of the times! Not leased the shape of things to come. Soon the whole top 40, will be all downloaded tracks totally. The Wednesday update is now up, as of 5pm.
May 21, 200817 yr If I've got it right, then even with downloads included, Gabriella Cilmi is heading for a new peak. Fingers crossed!
May 21, 200817 yr Author If I've got it right, then even with downloads included, Gabriella Cilmi is heading for a new peak. Fingers crossed! Well, I will give you an idea and say there are 3 dowload alones, in the top 20 and 6 in the top 30! :yahoo:
May 22, 200817 yr Kids In Glass Houses are improving slowly on iTunes all the time. I doubt they'll make top 40 but would be lovely to see them in the top 50 by the end of the week. Great band <333 Such a dull chart though :( I'm really sick of the 'Billboardised' chart we seem to have going these days, the whole download thing was good at first now it's just the same songs clogging up the top 10 FOREVER and most of them are $h!t <_<
May 22, 200817 yr Sadly I'm seeing the cd single literally phased out altogether soon, they are so hard to find these days, I find it easier ordering them online, as you find what you want.
May 22, 200817 yr Author Here were today`s (Thursday`s) HMV Top physical singles 01 Ting Tings 02 Rihanna 03 Madonna 04 Will I. Am 05 Wiley 06 Nelly 07 Estelle 08 Royworld 09 September 10 Ashley Simpson Strange but true...If you included the pre-order physicals, in the actual physical sales chart, Paul Weller, Fratellis and Duffy (Warwick Avenue) would be in the top 15. In HMV, Andy Abraham sits in the top 20, as well. HMV also like the pre-order of Alanis Morrisette (Underneath), pre-orders place that in the top 30.
