I don't think anybody is claiming that it is an indication of the longer term sucess of the track. You can't extrapolate that from a day and a half worth of sales on iTunes. It is merely interesting to see when and indeed *if* she makes no.1. And I see this morning that she is still no.2.

There was indeed a delay until the Wednesday if there had been Monday Bank Holiday. In addition there wasn't a chart at all between Christmas and New Year. On the Sunday of this non-chart week, Radio One took the opportunity to broadcast the 40 best sellers of the year.

And this week 446,025. If these are representative sales figues for a Korean no.1, that's like approaching an X-Factor winner's first week sales every single week and with a population of 49m compared to the UK's 60m! In their chart singles in the mid 30s sell like an average no.1 here. Also, the ratio of sales of the no.1 track compared to those in the 30s seems to be a lot less there. Clearly a very different business model to selling singles. I wonder if it will ever happen here?

What's cheesy about the Safety Dance? I find it just a little bit 'creepy' if anything with all that Medieval prancing about and animal heads and stuff, but I guess I've watched 'The Wicker Man' (The original of course) too many times :)

I bought it because I really like it, not to keep something I don't like off no.1

They didn't quite ignore the song on TOTP, they just mentioned that Frankie Goes to Hollywood was no.1 with 'Relax' and then the programme ended. But is still made them look like completer numpties, TOTP traditionally ended with the no.1 song, not to show that was a huge sense of anti-climax, to say the least.

Fair enough, I know how precious the data is to the OCC. Of course you *can* calculate sales from the previous week from subtracting the last two figures but not for the *current* week.

Why not add the sales figure the track has obtain for that particular week, so people can get a broad view of which tracks are likely to overtake others in the following few weeks?
