Thanks for this. It's pretty amazing to see how much Lady Gaga has achieved in a year, never thought I'd see that in this day and age. It's kind of like how Britney's career was in its first year.

Wow Peter Kay kicked Rihanna's arse in the end. They were supposed to be close in the mid-weeks. I'd say PK could get 80k this week, you know it's not a given gaga will get to no.1 this week.

Lol Susan Boyle, she'll destroy KOL and Gaga in what they've built up in a year in three weeks.

GaGa's sales are nothing like Britney's. Britney notched up well over 20 million copies with her album.

It's so disappointing that it's going to be a covers album, that takes the plaudits for being the biggest selling album of 2009, over the rest who've worked their asses off touring and promoting all year.

Yeah, Ive posted sales threads in the past, so would be good to continue them!

I think he was talking about albums!

The Fame has sold 4million copies worldwide......Baby One More Time sold 25 million copies worldwide (I don't think any newbie is getting close to that again EVER)

As GaGa selling 30 million (including singles and records) would also be destroyed by Britney's 1st 12 month total! Although, they are from different times!

Maybe they mean shipments because it sold it's millionth copy this week!


It sold 312,000 last year!

And 696,754 this year, add those together and you have your million sales; then due to the fact she sold around 25,000 this week, the millionth copy was sold this week!

Well done Beyonce!

30m total sales - which includes her 1 album and singles (the high figure quoted is mainly down to her singles being huge sellers around the world). When was the last time an artist sold 30m copies of one album? We have to go back to the 90's for those types of sales.


Looks like Susan Boyle will have the biggest selling album of the year. She has trounced all of Simon's other big acts - Leona, Alex in a space of 2 weeks.

I don't think we'll ever get an artist selling 30 millions odd albums, its a different time people don't have to buy a whole album anymore...just the best parts of it.

Brilliant sales this week, i'd say xmas has a lot to do with that. Rihanna's sales are kinda shocking

yeah Gaga has sold around 25 million digital singles this year - which is incredible for the time we are in. Poker face and Just Dance are 2 of the year's biggest worldwide singles. and 4 million albums for a commercial pop act like Lady Gaga is very respectable these days, what with filesharing and many people choosing to download individual singles instead of albums.

but like you said - it's all relative. if Britney burst onto the scene with Baby One More Time right now, instead of 1999, she would be lucky to of matched what Gaga has achieved this year. and vice-versa - if Gaga turned up around the same time as Britney, she probably would of enjoyed a similar amount of success in terms of sales. goes to show how much has changed in the last decade.

I am really glad Pixie is back in the top 40. Cry me out is still doing well a week after physically being out and is gonna crack the top 10. I hope her album continues to rise.

Hopefully her album gets to platinum by her fourth single and then maybe a tour.
