a million vinyl singles are sold a year (averaging about 19,000 a week) according to this article. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7750581.stm

USA are not a push over theyve beaten Spain and gone 2 goals up against BRAZIL! England might be lucky of they can scrape a draw :(

I dont think weve ever had a vinyl free top 40, 20 years after they were sopposed to have been killed off, so i'll doubt well ever have a cd free top 40.

Quarter 1 2002 1- 249525 5- 32925 10- 18300 20- 8700 30- 5200 40- 3250 50- 2150 75- 950 Quarter 2 2002 1- 125400 5- 32125 10- 19150 20- 9250 30- 5725 40- 3600 50- 2325 75- 1025 The no.1 sale for Quarter 1 is very high because of Pop Idol Winner Will Young massive first week sale.

Ken Dodd charted 18 top 40 hits between 1960 and 1975. All of which are instantly forgettable :lol:

expanding to a top 400- so what do you base it upon, if you dont mind me asking? :)

Do you have the full top 100 of the seventies from Record Business? :). Dave Taylor kindly posted up the top 75, but the bottom 25 positions had been torn out of the magazine, so were missing.

I wonder if the the average sale for a no.1 will ever break 100k for the whole year ? The last year this happened was 2002.

I think I may have found a missing no.2. John lennon Happy Xmas war is over, had a look on the list and coudnt find it?

Acker Bilk no.1 by a mile, it wasnt even close ! :o Thanks for the chart Dannyboy, brilliant work Look forward to the no.1s :)

wasnt Curtis Stigers related to michael Bolton.. :unsure:

nickelback, I was just about to say them ;)

I know The Cheeky Girls are no.2 :o

KOL @ 3 Elvis hound dog @2 Acker Bilk @1

most of the songs in the top ten so far have had more than one chart run. free, chubby checker, elvis etc

Elvis's Hound dog will be in aswell!, which was the other side of Heartbreak Hotel when it was re-issued in 1971

Rule the world only no.7 :o

I think the top 3 will look like this 3 take that rule the world 2 Kings Of Leon Use somebody 1 Acker Bilk Stranger on the shore

Go and lay down for awhile :lol:

Greg Lake is at no.777. Just missed the the top 20 then :lol:

I think its between Kings Of Leon, Take That and Acker Bilk for no.1

Little Eva completley wiped the floor with Kylie's version of Locomotion then..coming in 542 places higher :lol:

love these 7. Rembrandts - I'll Be There For You 8. Cardigans - Lovefool 9. Sneaker Pimps - Six Underground 17. Katrina & The Waves - Love Shine A Light 34. Seahorses - Love Is The Law

two brilliant songs from 1983 8. David Bowie - China Girl 14. Heaven 17 - Temptation

I think I have seen the 50's one is it from the Top 10 Of Music? I read a Record Mirror article that said that Merry Xmas Everybody sold a million in 1980, certainly I think that is when it was certified platinum.
