Artist albums up 10%.(The Market)
Madonna is the oldest artist to simultaneously top the singles and albums chart with new material, and the 47-year-old continues her reign on both charts this week.
Hung Up commands a big lead on the singles chart, where the top three are unchanged, though all with greatly reduced sales. Last week, Hung Up sold 40,254 copies, Westlife's You Raise Me Up sold 23,073 copies and Black Eyed Peas' My Humps sold 19,059 copies--reductions of 32.9%, 25.9% and 32.6% week-on-week, respectively.
Madonna had a much tougher time defending her album chart title, enjoying a slender lead all week but Confessions On A Dance Floor eventually prevailed with sales 3% higher than nearest challenger Will Young but 49.2% down week-on-week at 110,527.
Her ability to hang on to both chart crowns was primarily due to a slightly disappointing release slate, which resulted in just two new entries to the Top 10 of both charts.
Singles sales suffered badly from the lack of new blood, which saw top tier debuts only from Gorillaz and Tom Novy. Physical singles sales dipped 20.6% to their lowest level for 15 weeks--293,949--but digital sales held up considerably better, falling 3.8% to 618,813. Overall singles sales, at 912,762, fell 10% to their lowest level for five weeks.
