Well iTunes describes it as a single, and it is not part of any album. 134. Blossoms - Paperback Writer (In Isolation) - Single

134. Blossoms - Paperback Writer (In Isolation) Any reason this cover has been issued as a single?

On iTunes now, 1 +1 Amanda Holden - Over The Rainbow (Single In Aid Of NHS Charities Together) 2 -1 Live Lounge Allstars - Times Like These (BBC Radio 1 Stay Home Live Lounge) 3 = The Weeknd - Blinding Lights with ratios 1:0.5895:0.2793.

There was also a Channel 5 documentary on Abba on Friday. Great to see Drake deposed.

What is the probability of this happening? Both went Silver, then Gold on the same dates. Led Zeppelin Whole Lotta Love Atlantic Silver Single 21.04.2017 Beach Boys God Only Knows Capitol Silver Single 21.04.2017 Led Zeppelin Whole Lotta Love Atlantic Gold Single 24.04.2020 Beach Boys God Only Knows Capitol Gold Single 24.04.2020 Exactly 3 years to sell 200,000 copies. Another 3 years to go platinum? But which will get there first?

I totally disagree. It was the first ever record I bought - I love it. :yahoo: You must be an Everton supporter. :rolleyes: There are now several versions on iTunes chart. 1 NEW Michael Ball, Captain Tom Moore & The NHS Voices of Care Choir - You'll Never Walk Alone 46 Gerry & The Pacemakers - You'll Never Walk Alone 92 Marcus Mumford - You'll Never Walk Alone 132 Jamie Webster - You'll Never Walk Alone (Nhs Charity Single) 290 NEW Michael Ball & Alfie Boe - You'll Never Walk Alone 749 Gerry & The Pacemakers - You'll Never Walk Alone

The UK's favourite Lockdown Listening songs will be discussed on BBC's The One Show tonight (March 27).

From the OCC. With the UK on lockdown, a three-part tale appears to be emerging from the nation’s speakers right now as music lovers split between listening to uplifting classics, “apocalyptic” isolation songs and kids’ favourites, according to new Official Charts Company data. As Britain gets to grips this week with our new normal indoors, Official Charts Company streaming data tracking our listening habits through these extraordinary times, shows that we are a divided nation - tuning in to a mixture of uplifting classics and tongue-in-cheek isolation songs, while families are selecting familiar children’s sing-a-longs to keep spirits up. The Official Lockdown Listening Top 100 list tracks the fastest-growing catalogue songs this week, compiled from UK streaming data from a wide range of chart-reporting services, including Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, YouTube, Tidal, Amazon and many more. These extraordinary times have seen much of the nation turn to stirring, feel-good melodies. Among the most popular is You’ll Never Walk Alone the 1963 chart-topper for Gerry & The Pacemakers, football anthem and musical standard which has seen a near 150% week-on-week uplift in streams and downloads. Interest in the song surged after a number of radio stations across the UK and Europe including BBC Radio 1, Radio 2 and many more played it simultaneously in a show of solidarity against coronavirus last Friday (March 20). Official UK Lockdown Listening List Top 100 POS - TITLE - ARTIST 1 YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE - GERRY & THE PACEMAKERS 2 LOCKED UP - AKON 3 DON'T STAND SO CLOSE TO ME - POLICE 4 LOST - FRANK OCEAN 5 LONELY - AKON 6 MOVE YOUR FEET - JUNIOR SENIOR 7 IMAGINE JOHN LENNON 8 IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT - REM 9 REACH - S CLUB 7 10 EVERYBODY HURTS - REM Data based on Official Charts Company data analysis of tracks more than 5 years old with the biggest percentage uplift in UK streams week on week, excluding attributable anomalies such as the catalogue of the late Kenny Rogers. Data period analysed first 6 days of week 13, 2020. At the moment Gerry & The Pacemakers are no. 63 on iTunes downloads.

Looks like people are downloading a lot of movies for their kids in lockdown. From the OCC Frozen 2 has a mammoth first week on the Official Film Chart - landing the second biggest digital debut ever. With a whopping 218,700 downloads, Frozen 2 is bested in first-week sales only by Avengers: Endgame, which claimed 335,400 in August 2019. Avengers: Infinity War comes in at Number 3 with 214,300 in its first chart week.

From Music Week You can expect things to change significantly as the weeks of social distancing go by, but it’s already clear that physical sales are going to take a big hit. Last night, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that all non-essential shops would have to close, adding to already-announced shutdowns by the likes of HMV. Supermarkets will remain open but, even there, space for entertainment is being squeezed by unprecedented demand for groceries. Week 12 sales figures from the Official Charts Company show that, even without most of those developments, physical sales of artist albums dropped 12.2% week-on-week, to 261,272. Physical compilation sales were down 8.1% to just 60,954, while, overall, sales of all albums (including digital downloads) were down 10.9% to 394,050. That’s perhaps a smaller drop that some might have anticipated. And, indeed, the biggest-selling physical album of the week, The Shires’ Good Years (BMG) moved 9,793 copies of its total 12,011 sales on physical formats, with just 3.87% of ‘sales’ from streaming. Labels will be watching closely to see if that changes in the coming weeks as older consumers may finally make the shift to streaming services. But, in the first instance, it does not seem that the move to remote working for much of the population has led to a surge in music streaming just yet. In the singles market, audio streams edged up 0.5% week-on-week, while video streams rose 0.2%, for a total increase of 0.3%. But, in the albums sector, consumption of Streaming Equivalent Albums actually fell 6.2% week-on-week, to 1,265,809 units. It’s too early to say if that means the crisis will lead to reduced music consumption across the board and, even in the coming weeks, other likely factors such as a reduced release schedule will also have an impact.

From the OCC. Music acts are being forced to push back or postpone album releases they had scheduled in for the coming months. The current climate means artists are unable to conduct their full promotional schedules - including radio, TV and other public appearances - leading several acts to delay the release of their upcoming records. Another big factor is the closure of HMV, who announced they were temporarily shutting their doors from March 22 amid these "unprecedented times". Read HMV's full statement here. HMV, along with major supermarkets, are among the leading retailers for CD and vinyl in the UK. Supermarkets have stated they are currently not prioritising entertainment products in their shops.

BPI award today. Beatles - Abbey Road - Apple Corps - Platinum 3x - Album - 06.03.2020 - 09.09.2009 Sales (physical, downloads, streams) from 1994. But it should be 8 times platinum (or 2,400,000) for sales from 1969.

The Beatles - All You Need is Love - Silver - Released: 2010 Any idea of total sales since 1967?

Abba GOLD was released in the previous century. ".. the UK's Official Top 100 biggest albums fronted by female artists since 2000." Note the word "fronted".
