"Melua and Sugababes top UK charts
03 October 2005 - 09:21:44
Close of business on Saturday marked the end of the third quarter's trading - and figures for both the week and the quarter were encouraging, writes Alan Jones.
Singles sales topped the million mark last week, at 1,026,051. The total included 433,015 physical sales - the highest for 17 weeks - and 593,036 downloads, the top tally logged since data was incorporated into the chart 25 weeks ago.
The million mark hasn't been breached since Christmas week 2002. Even more impressively, singles sales have topped 900,000 for four weeks in a row - their longest run above that level since October/November 2001.
In the third quarter as a whole, 10,970,769 singles were sold - of which 4,608,804 were physical sales. In the same period of 2004, there were 5,894,989 physical sales but no downloads, which means the market this year increased by 86.1% for the July - September period.
The physical sector alone dipped by 21.82% - but two formats enjoyed growth in terms of their share of the market and actual sales. DVD singles recorded a modest 1.74% increase in sales to 122,783, while that old warhorse the 7-inch single rocketed 76.77% to 299,491 sales, representing a 6.5% share of the physical market, compared to 2.9% in quarter three, 2004."
Conclusion : les dowmloads officiels de singles sont un grand succes , et ont booste le volume total des ventes de single au Royaume Uni
