Commentary
- Gotye and Kimbra score their first #1 single each and the first newcomer to hit #1 since Ray LaMontagne did a year ago with Beg, Steal And Borrow. Before that, we'd have to go back another year when Owl City hit #1 with Fireflies.
- Ingrid Michaelson scores her highest charting album on the album chart. Back in 2008, Girls And Boys peaked at #4. Human Again is her second album to chart and it opens at #2.
- I don't have the exact figures (yet!!) but Madonna scores her Xth Top 10 hit. OLP earn their second after only Innocent has reached this height so far.
2011 Music Figures
I finally compiled all of my info for the 2011 calendar year to determine how it stacks up against other years in terms of my CD purchases. Here are the results:
Total number of CDs purchased in 2011: 74
in 2010: 73
Breakdown:
artist albums - 59 (2010: 59)
compilations - 3 (2010: 0)
soundtracks - 7 (2010: 5)
cd singles - 5 (2010: 9)
Number of albums purchased on release day: 13
in 2010: 21
Total number of vinyls (including singles): 27
in 2010: 1
2011 ended up being the second highest year as far as CD purchases go, second only to 2004 when I got 81 CDs. (mostly due to me buying a lot of used albums that year).
Here are the numbers for the last ten years:
2002: 36
2003: 67
2004: 81
2005: 59
2006: 53
2007: 41
