DJones	Can this be true: Nearly 7% of all chart music bought this year has been downloaded through a mobile service, according to the Official UK Charts Company (OCC). (news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4854740.stm) In this article there is a prediction that by the end of this year 20 per cent of all music sales will be made digitally. Maybe 20 per cent of single sales but not of ALL music sales.
JK2006	Morrissey sold 5,500 "but under 50 of those were downloads".
david	Hi Jonathan, I would hazard a guess that Morrissey would have sold a ton more downloads than just 50 - so long as he is with iTunes and the other big shakers in the download business. Most download sales aren't yet included in the chart makeup - this is changing and I would imagine that within 6 months it will be all important because CD singles will have largly been eradicated from the charts as the public continue to move to online music purchasing. Singles are the big winners in the pay download music business and iTunes have sold over a billion tracks to date. current sales are 3 million plus per day. Regards, David.
Martin K	We might have used that idea as a hype down here, but I couldnt possibly comment.....
JK2006	Is it true that Morrissey - at 2 - has sold less than 50 downloads? Is it true that HMV returns are not yet included in the midweeks? Is it true that the majority of download retailers don't yet have their sales included?
