How many copies of I get Along sold in it's first week?

Does the 7" count towards record sales.

It counts towards record sales but is not chart eligible, apparently. A CD, a DVD & downloads is all you are allowed. So I'm with stupid 7" didn't count either, I guess.
Good of them to satiate the vinyl freaks out there but ultimately a little pointless. At one point I thought it was a clever trick for slowing down the inevitable second week chart plummet but seemingly not.

I think you can only have three formats that count towards the charts (not including downloads here) and we have already had them. CD1, CD2 and the DVD. If the vinyl doesnt count this week, i don't think i'll bother.

I really like the vinyl releases - the Minimal one is particularly attractive. What else can you get for £1.99? It takes me back to the halcyon days of Domino dancing with that fabulous inner sleeve listing the component parts of the track.

What I want to know is whatever happened to the power of the pink pound? If PSB really are the gayest group ever why isn't every single going straight in at number one? Could it be that their fan base is mostly composed of thirty-something hetros with an unhealthy interest in eurodisco? Surely not.

The vinyl will count, but toward a separate chart entry. If it sells enough to chart.

I have no idea how much I get along sold in it's first week.

If you need to sell about a thousand copies to enter the Top 200, I can't unfortunately say that it's much of an achievement. If you only need about 3000 copies to re-enter the Top 75 – like this week – surely that's the minimal satisfactory result you could have with a splendid single like Minimal.

Besides, iirc Nightlife rose to about # 100–120 with Drunk – but that was January.

Dazzer UK: Does the Fundamental sales include the couple of weeks Fundamental has spent outside the Top 200 ?

Dazzer... any chance you could post sales for Minimal this week? (and for 'Get Together' by Madonna as well?

) Thanks.

50000, thats how many Weird Al sold the first week on his last album.

Posted: **Tue 08 Aug 2006, 6:36 am**

I'm guessing Minimal sold a little over 4000 copies and Madonna around 9000.

Yeah it is definately 3 phyiscal formats and downlaods that count. So in this case CD 1, CD 2 and DVD are the formats that count towards the chart.

I'm still curious to find out how Minimal performed in the physical sales chart. I'm With Stupid made #5 in that chart.

And where is Minimal currently in the midweeks?
