That's fantastic!
Has anyone heard or read anywhere how many actual sales were made this week of physical albums and downloads? I'm not sure where to look for that info.

Did they say Gold SALES?! And 5,000 in front of the 2nd position album? Thats awesome, particularly nowadays in this climate of poor CD sales I am glad D is proud, he should be! To have largely written his own album and have it sell this much, so long after his win, is outstanding  |

Gold? Great stuff! Does anyone know how the gold/platinum rankings work with downloads from say iTunes? I assume they can't count towards those accreditations, since you can't "ship" downloads. :-\ |
