Posted November 12, 200816 yr ok so at around... Top 5 - 50-30K Top 10 - ? Top 20 - Top 30 - 15-10K? Top 40 - 10 - 4K Top 50 - Top 75 - Top 100 - Of course estimates/ruff figures, can we fill in my blanks? I tried looking in statistics but music week dosnt cover much..
November 12, 200816 yr What are you talking about, singles or albums? Which year? If its singles in 2008, Top30 is under 10k
November 12, 200816 yr for singles in 2008, you need roughly 15k now to make the top 10 on an average week...it can go as low as 10k or as we have seen, as high as over 26k! I wouldn't have thought we'll ever see another No.1 single sell under 20k...not in the near future anyway...
November 12, 200816 yr It also depends on the time of the year, Christmas sales will push the average sales, January to March goes thru a dull period sales could be very low, you can't really put a definitive sales figure, you could have a very dull month anytime.
November 12, 200816 yr Author sorry singles... Does anyone have a statistics on the past years numbers for each position i posted? Would be nice to see it that way instead?
November 12, 200816 yr sorry singles... Does anyone have a statistics on the past years numbers for each position i posted? Would be nice to see it that way instead?figures for past years are at http://www.zobbel.de/ At that site choose Selected Chart Statistics on the right hand side of the page (about half way down, under the The Statistics Pages heading). It lists the average sales needed to be at numbers 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 75 from 1991 to 2007. Some interesting statistics there. Average weekly sales needed to reach numbers 1, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 75 for selective years are: 1993: 68,250 (1) / 28,175 (5) / 17,400 (10) / 10,325 (20) / 5,600 (40) / 2,025 (75) 1998: 140,700 (1) / 53,075 (5) / 32,600 (10) / 17,725 (20) / 7,250 (40) / 1,825 (75) 2003: 70,169 (1) / 23,038 (5) / 13,288 (10) / 6,519 (20) / 2,550 (40) / 731 (75) 2007: 55,363 (1) / 17,881 (5) / 11,331 (10) / 6,444 (20) / 3,388 (40) / 1,706 (75) Edited November 12, 200816 yr by Robbie
November 12, 200816 yr 2001 and 2002 with inflated #1 single sales thanks to the idols and reality TV releases
November 12, 200816 yr I personally think Jan-March is a lot stronger these days. Well it was this year saleswise and songswise and in 2007 too. The summer months seem to be the dried up and boring time on both charts over the past few years.
November 12, 200816 yr I agree, it seems that the first 4 months of the year are about fresh new talent (e.g. Duffy, Adele, Ting Tings this year) and then the last 4 months are about the big comebacks (Britney, Killers, Pink, Girls Aloud etc...) so the middle 4 months of the year are often filled with artists releasing 2nd/3rd singles from albums, hence not a very strong musical period or sales period...this is certainly true of both 2007 and 2008

The summer months seem to be the dried up and boring time on both charts over the past few years. Completely agree there. After christmas at the end of last year sales went right up, and never really went back down since then until the summer.
