The lowest selling number one was Eric Prydz - Call On Me with 15.000 in one week. At the moment I think it is around 50.000 but still it's nowhere near the amount of 10 or 20 years ago when groups would easily sell in the hundreds of thousands in one week. However it isn't helped by downloads now counting towards the sales figures and singles are available to download the week before they are on physical release, so effectively their first week sales are split between the download and physical amounts over the two weeks.

It's all relative mate one would just need to outsale the competition. In UK charts only sales are actually counted in contrast to US charts where airplay and downloads are also taken into account

It used to do with record sales,on a song becoming a number one hit.
Now i think it's all to with `air play.
Which is unfair,as there are some songs better than others vying for the no.1 slot.
