Shakira proving yey again how out of touch Radio1 is and how the buying influence of it's listeners have dwindled.

Is it true that 75 per cent of single sales are downloads?

It seems so, downloads seem to have rocketed this year compared to single sales, unless someone can correct me.

yes and no.

Singles at the top of the chart are normally more physical sales. Much more in some cases like McFly last week.

Downloads sell to much a broaded range, as you have many old tracks/albums tracks selling much better on downloads then physical, thus the total downloads picture is quite different from the chart picture.
