UK Christmas Chart - Sales Update;

Wednesday Sales Update - HMV Oxford Street checked their computer for Special Bets. HMV say that TODAY at HMV "That's My Goal" is outselling JCB by 30%. Special Bets is surprised that the difference is not greater as this is the first day "That's My Goal" has been available - so there should be a lot of "Pent Up" demand. The JCB Song is still outselling "That's My Goal" today on Itunes who have a 50% share of the UK download market.

Analysis- what does this mean?

According to Sky News, Shayne Ward's "That's My Goal" has had 46,000 downloads ahead of his release today. So Nizlopi run into today with a small (9000) lead in sales.
Shayne will undoubtably take a significant lead after his release today, but the Nizlopi sales are certainly very healthy and perhaps still growing on a daily basis -22,241 in a day assuming no further growth would mean a weekly total of 143,964 - good but probably not good enough to catch the X Factor who look like getting around 200,000 by week end. We would need to see significant growth tomorrow for catching X Factor to be a remote possibility. Special Bets.
