It's now available to download on hmvdigital.com

I Believe In You seems to have been fading out. The arrival of a plethora of Kate Bush albums in the lower end of the albums chart perhaps pushed KMO out?

I guess it's a case of relative sales given the year. With IBIY being released at end of 2004, the majority of it's sales were split over 2004/5 and probably amounted to roughly 125-130K (at a guess) That figure would've placed it at about #40 or better in the Year-end chart for 2004 or in the lower 30's for 2005 Year-end chart Comparing this to the Year-end for 2013 the #30 track sold 437K and the #40 track sold 365K Even in the YTD for 2004 IBIY was #63 with 81K sold, YTD for 2013 had the #63 track selling 284K

Yeah, April 2005 before the downloads were included in the chart. And even then it was all a little complicated - a physical version had to be available in shops etc etc

I was always curious as to whether this included the download sales for the track which weren't chart eligible at the time (pre-downloads inclusion in chart calculations). It did well on the separate download chart at the time
