I perfectly know this! but it's realistic for a song nowadays selling 50k in 2 years and half being constantly in top 500/1000TrinidadNavy wrote:Guys, I'll leave this here, because I dont want to create an argument but you all are alittle misguided.
Being in the top 1000 on itunes DOES NOT equal 10K, or even 2K. Big digital sales are confined to a certain degree. It does not work like a scale.
No.1 could sell 1M copies and No.10 could sell 10 copies in the same week. Its all amount market demand.
Anyway, no idea what the No.1000 sells but I can bet its like 50 copies.
I'll try to find the real figures.
The week Unbroken debut, Here We Go Again and Don't Forget did not even chart on the top 200 BB albums. It is unlikely they charted after that except during holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving. Even so, again using the Billboard sales and not estimates, it is improbable, those albums sold 57K and 30K during those few weeks. That is a fact.Teo wrote:look at thos figures of HWGA (album)TrinidadNavy wrote:And even if a song had X amount of sales X amount of years ago, does not mean it continued selling to cover 100K or so.

are from november 2010..the album was selling 1,000 copies every week..and sold in one year 30k additional(according to HDD). it's so unbelivable another 20k during these months(considering the Unbroken realese and everything)?
I think that HWGA can be easily at 460k by now thenTrinidadNavy wrote:The week Unbroken debut, Here We Go Again and Don't Forget did not even chart on the top 200 BB albums.

Unbroken was also only selling 9K over Christmas, so unlikely her other albums which did not chart, sold any significant amount.
We'll see. Hopefully they chart in catalog and we can get real figures.
