I've seen that stat quoted loads of times and don't believe it for one second.

 

It sold 88k in the Tuesday midweek, so if that 50k stat were true, it would have shifted 50,000 in the first 30 minutes and then 38,000 from 00:31 on Sunday morning to 00:00 Monday midnight/Tuesday morning, which just isn't right at all.

 

I agree, I've never believed this either...

Well according to the same source it had sold 96k on Wednesday's midweek meaning it shifted 8k on Tuesday! So a MASSIVE slow down in sales until the physical kicked in on the Wednesday is hardly out of the realms of reality. Nor 50,000 people staying up an hour and a half after the end of the final to download Leona’s single… :rolleyes:

Britney ahead of Take That on both albums and singles now.

Joking...

Does anyone have pop bars for the albums chart?? If they do exist anyway...

Nobody answered my question though :( Do pop bars for the album chart even exist? :unsure:

I don't think they do exist. We shouldn't really pay any attention to the iTunes album charts, they really don't make a big enough difference to warrant a mention. I think you could probably have a #1 album on iTunes and miss the top 40 with your album. (not entirely sure though)

Yes! Britneys closing in on take that!

 

Come on Brit! :P

 

To clear up some confusion - A Moment Like This was available as a download from the X-Factor's own website straight after the end of the final, so before midnight. However you weren't sent the track, only a pin number allowing you to download it after midnight from 7Digital to make all sales eligible for the next week's chart. In effect a pre-order.

 

On Xtra Factor after the final it was claimed that 20,000 people had "downloaded" it in the first 5 minutes with a later figure of 50,000 in 30 minutes being given at the press conference straight after Xtra Factor (by Cowell I think).

 

The song wasn't even available on iTunes until late Sunday/early Monday.

Woah @ Miley! :o

 

Maybe have a new peak with 7 Things now?

OMG!

GOOO BRIT!

 

She could actually do this if her sales keep up!
