Dido leading downloads, Foals physicals and Dave dominating streaming really highlights the different markets.
Yeah, I noted that Dave is #11 on sales.

I was surprised it was them out of everyone, I thought Twice might get there first
Uk hit, I didn’t think Blackpink would be the first girlband to get it!
Are babymetal still a thing in the UK?
However, only nine albums sold upwards of 1,000 copies on vinyl in the week, compared to 15 in the aftermath of RSD in 2018.
They've been moved to a sub-forum@Robbie, I know ukmix had a reorganisation a few months back. Where do i find the UK chart threads for individual weekly charts now? I think the individual threads have been taken out of the main forum and shunted elsewhere, perhaps?

There's another major watershed crossed in the ever-precipitous decline of the paid-for singles market. Total sales this week dipped below 700,000 last week (682,000 to be precise). Fount of all knowledge on these matters Alan Jones reports in Music Week that this is the lowest total of purchased singles since March 2005, three weeks before the market was boosted by the inclusion of digital downloads in the singles chart. Mind you, the situation for albums is even worse. Just 502,000 units were physically purchased last week. Nobody knows the last time they were this low, the accurate database doesn't go back far enough. The heat death of the format grows ever nearer.
I know it's dreadfully low (and will continue to go lower), but I'm nearly slightly impressed that there is still over half a million albums actually purchased in a week.
It's down nearly 37% year on year, so I don't see you being slightly impressed for an awful lot longer.
James Masterton has written "Just 502,000 units were physically purchased last week" which does cause some confusion but Alan Jones does state this is "paid-for" sales, that is both physical and downloads. In his weekly Albums sales analysis Alan Jones wroteI know this is probably a very stupid question, but is physical sales iTunes and CD sales, or just CD sales?
Overall album sales are down 8.64% week-on-week at 1,676,096, 4.86% below same week 2018 sales of 1,761,704. Sales-equivalent streams accounted for 1,173,579 sales, a record 70.02% of the total. Sales of paid-for albums are down 31.17% week-on-week at 502,517, 36.65% below same week 2018 sales of 793,185. For the fifth time this year, paid-for sales are at their lowest level since Kantar Millward Brown started compiling sales data for OCC in 1994.
Where is Snow in the charts?Who would have thought that both Snow ("Informer") and Billy Ray Cyrus were going to be in the singles chart in 2019. Both in the US top 40 and UK top 75 right now.![]()
66. CON CALMA (Daddy Yankee feat Katy Perry & Snow)Where is Snow in the charts?
Pretty sure it's a first. Other notable moments:Talk about slow and boring charts, the top 12 in the singles chart are non movers.I wonder if that happened before.
