Musings on chart music

I was reading on BBC News today that despite selling more CD singles than the rest of the top 75 put together, Cliff Richard still only managed to get to number three with his new single. It just goes to show how strong the download market is in deciding chart positions these days. What was also interesting was that 95% of his total were CD singles which also indicates that he doesn’t appeal to people who tend to download music. I can’t say I liked the song, but making the top 10 in six decades is an impressive achievement, nonetheless.
