• Mids 4 January

    From Chris Brown@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jan 4 22:38:16 2021
    Happy new year.
    Not a lot of action in the album chart, unsurprisingly - even the
    Madvillain album isn't actually new, it's charting because it featured
    Doom who has recently died.

    Sales are very low this week, especially for albums. It's possible that
    we could see the lowest weekly sale for a number 1 album. Last week the
    number 1 album ('Christmas' by Michael Buble) had a mere 663 paid-for
    sales. It's other 9,539 chart sales were derived from streams. The
    number 1 single ('Last Christmas' by Wham!) sold a mere 3 physical
    copies. A 7" version had been released in 2019 so a very small handful
    must still be on record shop shelves somewhere.

    Unsurprisingly my local Sainsbury's have now stopped selling CDs and
    even vinyl albums. My local Asda has dropped its CD display to a small
    amount of albums. Not much more than a decade ago my town had 3 record
    shops as well as 2 record departments in the two main supermarkets plus
    the likes of Play and a couple of shops that sold ex-chart bargain bin
    buys. Now there's 1 shop that sells little more than the top 10
    mainstream albums and some Now releases.

    Yes that's a great shame. :(
