Mart To all those "muso-minnows" reading the figures and saying "Oh no, we`ll never chart at all now!".
Look at the bigger picture.
You might actually shift a decent whack of copies at this rate, it`s all very well people endlessly buying new(audio) equipment, but they do need new things to play on them.
And thats your job, firstly,it`s positive.
JK2006 Well yes in the really old old days (1965) I once did 60,000 in a day with Everyone's Gone To The Moon which was pretty phenomenal.

But this week's sales are a delight and show there's life in the old dog yet.
Small but...... Don't worry I well remember the real 'old' days as JK will testify (the first chart I had personal involvement in was in 1978!) but I thought it was encouraging that sales (irrespective of the product)were so strong given the current/recent declines. Any positive signs are always welcome as far as I'm concerned and thanks to Olive Oil for those figures, it makes this weeks sales look even more impressive.

200,000 sales like the old days? Umm .. not very old days. Some of us remember when that wouldn't even get you into the top 20.

An improvement on a year ago though.


Christ, some people are negative!! The sales figures are fantastic. 10 years ago, the No.1 only sold 189k in the full week (Aqua - Barbie Girl), and 15 years ago Pato Banton's Baby Come Back was No.1 with 76,000 sales. And these are FULL WEEK SALES!
Mart Love "If I Can Dream", the classic biiiig ballad!
An exhausting performance.
