Take Kate Perry at No1, or Werewolves Of London (ripoff) at No2 - how many...

a) physical CD singles

and

b) downloads

have each sold?

Question two - what percentage of downloads is through iTunes?

In the case of Kid Rock the percentage for physical singles is 100 per cent.

This is fascinating DJ - so you can't download Kid Rock from iTunes?

I just logged on to iTunes and Grits Sandwiches is available there - is that the new collection?

According to Wikipedia "Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast" was his debut album, released in 1990 on Jive.

I must admit that I find it rather worrying that your sales results as a company are monitored. With the charts increasingly less important, it feels very Big Brother-like!
All my artists are allowed a meeting time with us in which they browse their own stats and we barter fees and plans out between us. It is starting to work.

In my opinion, the industry has lost (and of course made) a lot of money by hiding it from the artists.
This has caused a distrust, yes artists can be prats but so can managers and A+R, this is human given right.

I think you'll find you can buy Kid Rock's single on I-Tunes, and it's No.3 in their chart.
