This official OCC data was published in Music Week (17.01.09):
Singles: 115,139,176 (CDS: 4,075,089, 12'': 253,907, 7'': 485,310) (2007: 86,562,355)
Artist Albums: 101,289,676 (2007: 106,033,425)
Compilation Albums: 30,041,589 (2007: 30,453,028)
"Unmatched" Albums: 2,312,508 (2007: 1,580,918)
Total Albums: 133,643,773 (DL: 10,308,681, LP: 208,526) (2007: 138,067,371)
One notes that the singles numbers do not correspond to the weekly data published by Music Week during 2008 (basis for my tally in the above table), nor with the official OCC data for 2007 published in Music Week last year (5.01.2008), namely 67,714,932. The numbers for albums (106,033,415 - 30,453,028 - 136,486,443) are on the spot (except for those "unmatched" albums).
