wow at Katy Perry 5 songs in the top 40

theres some singles figures on wikipedia but dunno how reliable they are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_in...ingles_of_2010

Rih

Not bad for a fresh album.

Sales in the UK are so high.
The Progress sold 1.84 million, that's equivalent to 9.2 million in the US, considering the population difference.






Congrats to Rihanna. LOUD will sell over a million

Lady Gaga really needs top up her certifications. The Fame must be at least 8x platinum (it sold 1.4 million last year and 1 million this year) and Bad Romance must be platinum to (it solld about 400k last year and its in the top 40 this year so that means at least 300k+) She also needs Alejandro and Telephone certifying

Rihanna

I hope Rated R has crossed 600k!

Love The Way You Lie #1

It probably has. Its number 1 this week and lots of teenagers with xmas money prob bought her album (me being one of them) so sales must be high this week

Also, Eminem & Rihanna made history:

Most people don't seem to realise that.

Quite the impressive list, with lots of U.S. artists impacting! :] I really like when UK artists dominate the US charts too though.

No Kickstarts?
Love The Way You Lie

Thats ****ing crazy!

Although if you go by certifications you'd really multiply the numbers by a factor of 3.33x to get a comparison to U.S. sales (i.e., platinum being 300,000 vs. 1,000,000).

Still, it seems like the UK has been more impervious to the album sales slump.

It's not about certifications, it's about population.
The UK population is 62 million.
The US population is 310 million. The UK is 5 times smaller than the US in terms of population, yet during the holiday season the number one album in the UK sold more than the US.
