I don't understand that list.. why is "last week" if it is a "year-end" chart?? And I can't undersantd why Duffy sold more than Leona if Lewis has been up almost all time this year

Because Leona has sold tons of albums in 2007 not 2008.

Single sales have increased by a large amount this year, 427,000 to get into the top ten. Not bad... Album sales are down but not as drastic as what has happened in the us

x factor dominating the singles chart. at least KOL and Sparro are on the top 10.

great top 3 in the album chart

I don't like how the X Factor dominates the singles charts. I didn't mind Alexandra's version of hallelujah, that was good but I hated hero. Ilike 36 of the top 40 songs
