Let's get physical

...or at least this week's top 20 as expressed in actual sales of CDs and 7"s with downloads taken back out (actual chart position in brackets):

1 (1) Crazy Frog
2 (4) Akon
3 (7) DJ Sammy
4 (3) Audio Bullys
5 (2) James Blunt
6 (6) Nelly
7 (8) Green Day
8 (5) Gorillaz
9 (9) Fightstar
10 (10) Amerie
11 (17) Pondlife
12 (13) U2
13 (11) Black Eyed Peas
14 (16) Jem
15 (19) Tony Christie
16 (20) Shakin' Stevens
17 (15) Gwen Stefani
18 (12) Foo Fighters
19 (14) Bodyrockers
20 (18) Jamiroquai

So while James Blunt and Audio Bullys have benefitted from download sales their records would be going up anyway - how come Blunt's selling more on download anyway? On the positive download addition press side Akon would really still be annoying the hell out of everyone, DJ Sammy would have an enormous hit and Pondlife would have been number 4 last week rather than 11.
