Classic Albums

























Scissor Sisters released the UK's top selling album of 2004.

                                           

Their eponymous debut album, released on February 2, sold 1,594, 259 copies last year, beating Keane's "Hopes And Fears" by just 582 copies.

The New York group released four hit singles from the album: "Comfortably Numb", "Take Your Mama", "Laura" and "Mary".

Robbie Williams' "Greatest Hits" came third in the year-ending sales charts.

Maroon 5's "Songs About Jane" and Katie Melua's "Call Off The Search" made up the Top 5.

The chairman of Universal Music UK, home to both Scissor Sisters and Keane, said: "It's a fantastic result."

"What is most special is that the two biggest-selling albums of the year are both from brand new UK-signed artists."

The top selling album of 2003 was Dido's "Life For Rent". Robbie Williams' "Escapology" topped the chart in 2002 and Dido's "No Angel" sold most in 2001.

Madonna is to be the new face of an advertising campaign for the Italian fashion house Versace, according to a spokeswoman for the fashion-house, confirming a report in the magazine Women's Wear Daily.

The 46-year-old singer is a long-standing friend of Donatella Versace, artistic director of the couture and luxury read-to-wear label.

                                               

The campaign for spring-summer 2005 will be shot by the fashion photographer Mario Testino and will centre on four pictures of Madonna, wearing day and evening wear, on the theme of women in the office.

"She's an icon," Donatella told WWD. "She is an innovator, a groundbreaker and the best in her field. She relates to women of all ages. She's got extraordinary personal style and has been a friend of mine and the house for many years."

09 Jan 2005 - Downloading beats CDs

Sales of legal download singles have finally overtaken those of physical CD singles according to figures released in the UK.

Reported on Musicweek.com, the 2004 Christmas period saw a surge in sales of legitimate downloads due to the popularity of portable music players such as the iPod as gifts.

Last week 312,290 downloads were sold against 282,399 CD singles.

Of all the singles in the UK Top 40, only Band Aid 20’s "Do They Know It’s Christmas?" and Steve Brookstein’s "Against All Odds" sold more than 25,000 physical copies.

Commenting on the figure, Ben Drury of 7 Digital Media, one of the main UK-based distributors of digital downloads, said: "This is a hugely significant milestone for the emerging download market and it has occurred much earlier than previously predicted."

However, a British Phonographic Industry spokesperson said that talk of the end of CD singles was premature.

Speaking to The Guardian newspaper, they said: "It's been another year of decline in CD singles sales but the rate of decline has slowed compared with the previous year.

"It's too soon to talk about the death knell of the CD single - there will always be a demand for physical tracks."
