:cheer: Sales are better than I thought for this album! Hopefully the rumours of them getting dropped are false :)

Me too :)

 

Glad to see Amy McDonald quite high, but it must hurt to not be top 20...

Surprising to see Dido ahead of Snow Patrol. I had the impression they had a much better chart performance. Altough both remain huge flops...

Dido is not ahead of Snow Patrol?! They have sold a decent 420,000 albums while Dido is struggling to reach 200,000!

I doubt Will's not that bothered who's sold more than him Olympus, be it Rhydian or anyone else, I expect he's just happy to still be here 7 years on and getting his fourth platinum selling album.

 

I agree with you.

 

Although I think Will might still outsell him. ;) I think Christmas is the biggest time for selling classical/classic-pop music. Rhydian will struggle to reach 2x platinum.

OMG Kylie is only at number 100!!!

Isn't it great how pop puppets who can get hit singles, but not albums, Britney and Beyoncé are also above Dido? :P

 

That Snow Patrol album she's above is their old one. :lol:

That's only sales for 2008 - she released X in 2007 where the rest of her sales are.

 

Others like Leona and Duffy reissued with extras and their sales combined. Good marketing ploy. Other than Amy W - for some reason her sales aren't combined so you've got two entries for the same album which gives her a lower placement.

are we going to have a new chart this week???

170,000 for Miley's album is absolutely amazing off the back of two small hit singles and without even really benefitting from Christmas sales...

are we going to have a new chart this week???

The YTD this week will be the official top 40 albums so yeah, it should be revealed between 4 and 6pm.

even though to start i thought snow patrol would sell so much more but its sales are quite good and it should eventually sell a million copies i think

Suppose Keane and Snow Patrol haven't been too big a flop, still not very good. Kaiser Chiefs, however.... :o

 

Shame because Never Miss A Beat is actually amazing :dance:

I agree with you.

Your prediction has experienced a fairly inauspicious start ;)

I also think Leona Lewis is the first Solo Female to have the same Album in the Top 5 of

the Year on more than one occasion. 'Spirit' was 2nd in 2007, & it is 4th in 2008.

The only other Females to manage it were the Spice Girls. 'Spice' was 3rd for both

1996 & 1997. Even Madonna has never managed it.

The following info has been added to the first post.

 

2008 Totals:

 

839,524 Rihanna - Good Girl Gone Bad (558,322 in 2007)

419,806 ABBA - Gold Greatest Hits

Anyone got the Top 100 Singles?

Top 40 Singles has been posted do far, they are in the chart forum somewhere.

 

I was surprised Alphabeat didnt make the top 100. Does anyone know how many it sold?
