McCartney's latest two records aren't even in the database. It only lists sales for DTRW in Poland. I'm quite sure he sold more of them in the UK than in Poland.Well the lack of silver,gold or platinum discs for the sales of DTRW would also indicate it hardly sold.If a sale is represented by someone purchasing a CD or some other physical thing, then it's not surprising at all. I already said it, but I think in the distant future music will be transferred straight to the brain, or you could by a 3D hologram version of the artists to play in your house, but these guys will still measure sales in CDs.Very few people buy physical copies of music anymore, just collectors/musos. I don't know any "normal" people who still buy physical copies so it's not surprising that DTRW didn't sell 60k physical copies in the UK, but that doesn't mean it flopped.I guess I am not a normal person then I always buy the CD's

Out of respect for the musicians' work, I always buy the CDs and then I make AIFF files
We on this site are not "normal" I'm afraid. Most people don't even own a CD player anymore.
