125-150k. Probably towards the upper end of that scale :) I think perhaps 140k.

I think people are hugely overestimating Madonna right now. There is very little buzz about her new single.

For the songs that haven't been tracked, do you know where I might find their totals before tracking ended?

Could I have total sales for Lady Gaga's pre-BTW singles? Just Dance Poker Face Paparazzi Love Game Bad Romance Telephone Alejandro Thanks in advance, but if not that's fine :)

It matters to me a lot of the time. I find myself enjoying, but never connecting, with songs that Rihanna and Katy release. But I can connect with Gaga's music on so many levels, because it is so personal to her, and I feel her emotion through the music.

New website for top 100 popbars :) http://kworb.net/popuk/ Dark green = large increase Light green = small increase White = steady Light red = small decrease Dark red = large decrease

Gaga killed it :smoke:

15. Marry the Night - Lady GaGa (+1) 216. Marry the Night - Lady GaGa (-14) #15 combined, approximately 0.5% away from #14

The reason I asked was because when I originally checked, the artist update hadn't yet been posted. Apologies for coming across as being so stupid.

Has Gaga re-entered the top 40?

Think top 5. Want top 20. It isn't a good song, but I like Rihanna and don't want her to flop.

I am so disappointed with Rihanna's new single...

But there was a big deal about Germany overtaking the UK as the world's 3rd-largest music market? Either way, Y&I has only just started getting decent airplay in the UK, and there has been no promotion apart from the video. I think it'll climb.

Germany is the second largest market behind the US in the western world. And, in Germany, Y&I has been climbing steadily into the top 30, so it is doing fine there considering TEOG is still huge. Also, Japan isn't involved in subscription based services. This is nothing to do with Gaga, who doesn't sell many physical singles in Japan. The high numbers you see per week are actual purchases. The official Japanese singles chart (Oricon) counts only physical CD sales. Each CD sale costs about as much as an album in the US. And people buy the singles in droves. This week's #1 sold 1.354million copies. South Korea has subscription based services. Japan does not, which is why it is a far bigger music market than the UK.

So Beyonce is at approximately 14k and Adele around 10-10.5k...
