80's UK Chart Sales and Info

[leesmapman]

And Jean-Michel Jarre?
Don't think his single sales will be earth-shattering, because nothing really charted (maybe Revolutions after the London Docklands concerts), but still I'm curious if there's any info available.

[nervousboy]

Can you share the website info for this info
And if not can you share Kate Bush info? Thank in advance.

Where are these data from?
Are they estimates? Do they come from real counting?
Do they include all the formats (7", 12", cds...)?
Do these numbers count real sales, or do they count printed items?
Do they include import items?

[RMC]

Kim Wilde?
