I'm thinking approximate sales figures, status (gold, platinum etc), weeks on chart, any other stats. Singles and albums. A bit like the album chart in Q magazine but updated regularly...?

In addition to all the chart reports published by the BPI, it produces dozens of annual reports that serve to profile trends in consumer behaviour and more. The BPI also tracks trade sales and issues silver, gold and platinum certification awards.
You may have to pay for the information but they are the official body!
You could also check the trade magazine called MUSIC WEEK - you can get it through your local newsagent but it is expensive!
