Next year, download sales figures will be included in the official singles charts. will this halt the decline of the single?, or is it a dying format?, destined to become just a loss leader to advertise an album?

Footnote

The Fortieth best selling single of 1997 was;

40 C U When U Get There - Coolio featuring 40 Thevz [3] 340,000

The SIXTH best selling single of 2003 was;

6. Tatu - 'All The Things She Said' 338,000

The THIRD best selling single of 2004 so far is;

3 Yeah - Usher 294,000

So the Fortieth of 1997 would be the third, (probabaly fourth when Band aid figures are added) of this year!.

Haven't they always been that though?

Even though you can buy indivdual tracks rather than the whole album iTunes has proved that singles and albums are here to stay just go to http://www.apple.com/itunes and look at the charts
