Last week I wrote about how the first two albums to hit number one on the Billboard 200 charts were made of more than half digital sales. That trend will continue with the third number one album with the Hope for Haiti Now, which was made of not just exclusively digital sales but only two days of sales (January 23 & 24) where it still racked up 171,000 units.

Before Hope For Haiti Now was released, the expected number one was once again to be Susan Boyle’s I Dreamed a Dream. It was the number two this week (86,000 copies, about half of HFHN) and one with very low digital sales overall (currently 83 on iTunes’ album chart).

This is, of course, very good for the relief efforts in Haiti because all of the proceeds generated go to rebuilding the country, but if the trend of more people getting their music online (and legally!) continues, it’ll be bad for record stores in the long run.
