Physical singles have been dead for long. As a matter of fact, the only ones which still sell are collectors for fans. Given that the Arctic Monkeys got many of them, they register solid sales from this format. Well, solid in relation to the market size as numbers in absolute term remain quite low!
Kinda sad how their worst album is the 2nd best selling.. Well, guess it’s just how pop industry works
Please can we have Tool or Smashing Pumpkins or Marilyn Manson that sold a lot more than AM?
I don’t know them but I recognized their biggest track. Ill check on the rest time.
But im actually wondering why Arctic Monkeys and not other music artists that are more requested. Im not complaining though.
Arctic Monkeys have just released their new album.
Love the new design btw 🙂
This is cool………but why not focus on the biggest acs of all time as a priority?
Great article! But I don’t understand how their sales stand at 65,000 in Spain while AM sold 110,000 copies there alone, I’m pretty sure the latter is the one that’s wrong 😉
Oops, typo detected! 110k stands for AM’s French sales, it did 17,5k in Spain. Figures were just fine in Excel so this doesn’t alter totals 🙂
Now fixed, thanks!
