2009 has been a very good year for singles sales. So far this year around 117 million singles have been sold in shops all around the UK. Artists such as Lady Gaga, Black Eyes Peas and La Roux have been amongst the top five artists for singles sales. Not only has the record been broken (and I don’t mean CDs by Records), the number is still increasing with ten weeks left till Christmas. The big question is who will get the Christmas No.1? The way we get music in the last couple of years has changed as more and more people are buying music digitally online. 98 in every 100 CDs or songs are downloads. When I Gotta Feeling came out it went to No.1 in almost every country.
Most of the top five have had number ones in lots of countries but In for the kill by La Roux had massive single sales but didn’t get anywhere past 11 in the charts in other countries. Although it did come in at Number 2 in the UK charts.
Some singles have sold well but some haven’t but in the end for Artists who have released singles have come together and made up this brilliant achievement.
