Factoid

According to this morning's paper, 2008 is set to be the highest-selling year for singles EVER, with total sales topping 100m for the first time (compared to 1979's 89m). Obviously physical sales are a miniscule proportion of this but even so, that's a lot of sales. (And christ only knows how many non-sale downloads are going on).

I was a bit surprised by this!

In the iTunes top 100 at the moment, there are 4 tracks from Disney's "Camp Rock" soundtrack, and 5 tracks from the new Kings of Leon album (1 of which is the current single). Obviously they won't all make the top 75 singles chart next week, but there's a chance several will.
