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.
Missing Data: Spotify and YouTube (both for Sunday)
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.
