| im just curious... how many sales does a track need to get in the top ten of audiojelly/beatport etc etc.. i mean will a track at no.1 on audiojelly have sold 1000 copies? |

| Well it could be. But not much more if it even hits the 1000. You should be glad if you get halfway.. #6 on audiojelly combined with sales on other sites delivered sales of about 400 pieces. So audiojelly surely had less sales than that. |

Hi Frase
I think I've mentioned before that I love your tune 'The element'. I think it received a lot of support from top DJ's & an Ian Betts remix. So would you share with us (if you know) how many units that shifted, whether downloads or physical sales?
PS.....Any chance of the midi of the melody - if that's possible?
Congrats on Friday for Armin dropping one of your remix's at GK - did he know you would be there? That must be some feeling?
I know your down the road from me in Cov, I live in Coleshill fairly near. Nice to see a local lad making some waves.
One further question - I know you've not been producing for that long - are you musically trained? ie could you play the piano anyway?
Cheers

| Definitely not a 1000... a small 100 as Frase pointed out is I think more reasonable. |

I looked at an Enoise sales report, and Steve Allen's Open Gates EP has done well on beatport. I guess I'd better not divulge any sales info, but I'm surprised he isn't in the top 100. Maybe he was on the charts a few months ago, right after the release.
It's a little depressing that digital sales are so low, and that it only takes a hundred sold to get in the top 10. I was thinking it would be a lot more than that actually. |

Hi mate (not probably the place to answer all these! apologies for the hijack!)
The element sold just under 300 downloads (thats across all sites & over a period of 4 months). I think the internet some what over inflates the 'buzz' of the download sites, because there isnt that big a market for it (this genre only im talking about, probably bigger for others).
But a record to get over a 1000 sales on downloads alone would have to be something that'd be classed as a 'tune of the year' by big djs (to gain the exposure, support etc) to gain that kind of quantity of sales.
As for gods & the music, nah he didnt know i was there, kinda last minute & im self taught to be musically trained, no performer by all means but i know my way about a set of ivories!
Back to the topic though a good 'sales' run on downloads i think would need to be accompanied by an impressive dj support. Get a big name on it & you've opened the marketing doors up further to more listeners! :) |
