PEAK MUSIC 2004 - The times are a changing III

 2004

*Unbelievable fact – Downloads were outselling CD singles by 16 to 1 – Sales Charts were reduced to the top 25 and the digital sales chart was increased to the top 50. Digital sales were now up to 2,000,000 a week with 24 million being registered in the first quarter of 2004. - This was 20 years ago. I had no idea.

 

Usher – Had 3 number one hits including MY BOO

Destiny Child had 2 top 10 hits including SOLIDER (I thought they had been broken up by now)

Beyonce had 2 top 20 hits on her own.

Maroon 5 had 2 top 10 hits including THIS LOVE

Ciara (now Mrs. Wilson) had 2  top 10 hits including GOODIES
