I know A Bigger Bang got to #1 on in the USA on the internet album sales chart.
Do you have any idea how many copies in sold in that form?
How do they calculate that chart? Aren't there a million ways to download a cd?
I remember the band posted the entire cd for free on their web site. Could that have cut into sales?
I think I am the only person I know who buys cd's anymore. People actually laughed at me when I told them I don't have an I-pod. |

The internet album chart is compiled from physical sales in shops like Amazon or CD universe.
The "Digital Sales Chart" started around October last year and ABB didn't chart there. This chart is compiled from legal downloads, 70/80% of the sales coming from I-tunes. |

I can help you with this, on Real Rhapsody it was on top of streaming requests and downloads for two weeks and on the top ten for several weeks |

So Billboard counts sales from places like Amazon when tabulating all cd sales? |

Of course, they count physical sales (on shops and internet) and legal downloads too in the final number. |
