I thought the purpose of buying a signed single waa if it was something special and not when there are a few hundred thousands of them in the market

I think even Westlife have 1 billion streams in the UK..

Not good enough.. heard it once and that was it… ofc we are severe judging him cause he is ed sheeran but ….

Chat GPT when I asked for some clarification between record sales and chart units…. The answer is interesting: "Sales" is a general term that refers to the act of selling a product or service. In the music industry, this term can refer to the overall number of units sold of a particular album or song, which can include physical copies (such as CDs or vinyl records), digital downloads (such as MP3s), and streaming numbers (such as those from Spotify or Apple Music). On the other hand, "record sales" specifically refers to the number of physical copies of an album that are sold. This can include CDs, vinyl records, and other physical formats that are typically associated with music sales. Record sales have traditionally been the primary metric used to measure an artist's commercial success, but with the rise of digital downloads and streaming services, this metric has become less significant. In summary, "sales" is a broad term that encompasses all types of product or service transactions, while "record sales" is a more specific term that refers to the number of physical copies of an album that are sold.

Outselling 2:1 means one sold 4k and the other 2k?

really? Also Westlife would never reach the No1 in albums if they hadn't released Coast To Coast but Spice Girls would, clearly Spice Girls are the Chuck Norris of music.

Whats that mppv tv? Can I contact them in any way?

This is the answer i got: Thank you for your e – mail regarding TV Hits Awards 1999. All our liner and on - line broadcast rights have expired and Channel 5 has no plans to renew them and we don’t have any copies sadly. MPPV TV the production who made the programme for us are no longer trading.

how can I contact Channel 5?

Hi guys, i've spent years to find some footage of those awards since I used to have them on my VHS but its not possible to view it anymore. It's highly important for me cause those are the very first awards I watched on TV when I was a little child. More specifically I am interested for Westlife's award nominations and presentations/interview. Anybody who possible has this recorded or can help me find what I am looking for would be extremely appreciated! Many thanks in advance!

I doubt the public would care that much for an exclusive b side, especially nowadays with all this mass-consumption, so the companies would be forced to release them online eventually..

Fantastic job Jay! Well Done! So proud to see Westlife at no3 and no2 in singles and albums. They are the biggest artist in those lists coming from the Europpean Union.

who?

Great article! Clearly very unlucky for older groups which didnt get the streaming push.. Are you planning to do the same for boy bands?

But this is top 40 most streaming and not best overall

Merry Christmas dude... why you are still here is one of the 8 wonders of the World...

Where is the top 40? :)

Hey guys, when thos updates from MTV are being disclosed? Is it random or what? How can I know of there was an update more recently or when will it be? Its been a while since i got some updates for Westlife :(

No1 would be steve mac mostly because of westlife and ed sheeran

Robbie and Nicole must have 125k streaming equivalent sales based on sales of it in 2014 ( 378k ) and this year (505k). Any further information would be interesting ;)

No17 in itunes for greatest hits. I am wondering if that would be enough to appear in tomorrow’s update

That was covered by Westlife

I will dare to estimate total sales: ;) Estimated total albums sold: 13,850,000 Estimated total singles sold: 14,350,000 Estimated singles and albums Total UK: 28,200,000 Disclaimer: This is only personal estimations and are done for fun. I hope to have some official update and evaluate how close I am.
