Guest Danny86 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 MJ mystery solved: Michael Jackson’s King Of Pop compilation deserves a mention for an impressive 55-20 leap despite a 5.5% dip in sales to 14,280. It is on sale at iTunes for just £3.95 and 78% of its sales (11,138) came via downloads, a record for a Top 20 album.

Guest Danny86 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Q4 album sales up on 2007 Source: MW 00:20 | Wednesday January 7, 2009 By Ben Cardew Album sales in the fourth quarter of 2008 were up 0.9% on the same period of 2007 thanks to a raft of strong releases from the likes of The Killers, Take That and Now! 71. The result means that total album sales in 2008 were down just 3.2% on 2008 at 133.6m units, according to OCC data. Digital album sales grew 65% to 10.3m units, while sales of physical albums fell 6.4%. Singles sales were up 33.0% on 2008, largely thanks to download sales, which now account for 95.8% of the total singles market, up from 90.1% at the end of 2007 BPI chief executive Geoff Taylor says that these figures are remarkably resilient, given the problems of the UK’s music retail sector at the end of 2008, with retailers Woolworths and Zavvi, and distributors EUK and Pinnacle. falling into administration. The BPI says that, despite a slowdown in consumer spending and the pressures on the high street, the figures show that demand for new music remains high. In addition, it says the business has further cause for optimism in 2009, with the UK Government set to introduce new policies to combat unlawful downloading in the first half of the year. The trade organisation also points to the success of UK acts abroad in 2008, including MIA, Leona Lewis and Coldplay, as evidence of the strength of the UK music industry. The biggest-selling single of 2008 was Alexandra Burke’s Hallelujah (Syco); the biggest album was Duffy’s Rockferry (A&M). The highlighted part surely gives the "haters" an explanation why Madonna couldn't land a top 20 hit with physical sales only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeroco Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 The ENTIRE article proves Madonna's DELUSION that you don't make money from records anymore. True, but while the percentage drop isn't huge the drop in value will be bigger. Take That was £5.97 is Asda and £3 on Amazon download. In fact, Amazon reduced loads of download releases to £3. Album downloads still only account for less than 10% but they are growing fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loomer Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 So 4 Mins actually sneaked into the top 10 then but did the fug Sam Sparro overtake her?

loomer Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 1 Into The Groove 2 Like A Virgin I KNEW ITG and LAV were still her best sellers, despite some thinking CFY and Holiday with their reissues overtook them. It said on that old best selling artists TV show countdown that ITG did 800K, I think. It is pretty shocking that Vogue was only gold considering she had the best selling single of that year in America with it and double platinum, which matches the old pre-1988 2 million sales for platinum singles certs. It's annoying she hasn't had a million seller. One Kylie fan on youtube said Kylie was better cause she had 2 million sellers and Madonna had none but then neither have ABBA (though Dancing Queen has a chance if it gets enough digital sales).

Well woolies gone now so no more physical sales at 20p! I Think if wolies never sold them cheaper then the goin rate of around £3.99, Alexndra would never have sold a million copies.

fak Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Sparro has overtaken 4 Mins in overall sales incl 2009, but in 2008 4 Mins was ahead. Radio 1 is where the official top 40 is counted down each week. This is the same chart that Music Week will use and its the official chart. Radio 1 best selling singles of the year is always counted down on new years eve and im guessing this will be the same chart Music Week will use. So 4 Mins actually sneaked into the top 10 then but did the fug Sam Sparro overtake her? Cause that Radio 1 chart is premature... the actual Music Week year end figures aren't out yet are they?

One Kylie fan on youtube said Kylie was better cause she had 2 million sellers and Madonna had none but then neither have ABBA (though Dancing Queen has a chance if it gets enough digital sales). Madonna, like ABBA has always had excellent album sales on the back of a strong lead single, hence the lack of a million seller single. I agree about Dancing Queen possibly picking up digital sales and I'm sure I read ITG was closer to 850,000. I read in Number 1 magazine that Warners planned to release it as a single in Sep 1991, in a similar format to the Holiday Collection, with the other singles not included on TIC - Angel, Dress You Up and Gambler - had they stuck to that then I'm sure she could have cleared close to 200,000 to take it past the million mark.

Guest Hafo Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 4M re-entered the Top 200 2 weeks ago and the Airplay Chart last week, maybe due to year end shows. Song at #75 sold 4.5K and #155 sold 1.7K, so 4M should be anywhere between. Total sales should be well over 430K. Singles 118.

Yes! I remember that and thought it would be a massive mistake/overkill. But then maybe not for the reasons you say. They should have just reissued "Groove" in the first place, fuck Holiday! Which was already a hit twice anyway. But then it has that universal "summer" theme, so it was an easy choice. And you're right about the sales, Wikipedia says it sold 843,561 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loomer Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Some interesting archive interview footage also. at Kylie Minogue saying she had "Ray of Light" on repeat on her kitchen stereo. Damn, I tried getting this on the BBC iPlayer a couple of days ago and just missed it! No surprise with what Minogue said about ROL, considering she did a virtual remake with "Light Years". I also recall on Radio 1, her 3 favourite songs were played and ROL was one. I think she also said she was listening to "Music" and Coldplay's "Parachutes", when she was asked what she listening to in 2000. She seemed to have lightened about Madonna in recent years, cause in the "Confide In Me" era whenever she was asked about Madonna by the press she would get very shirty.
