It’s a sure fire sign that the club scene is in good health when a dance compilation takes out the #1 spot on the ARIA Charts. Reaffirming their position as the country’s biggest and most recognisable dance music label, Ministry Of Sound have shot straight to #1 in the first week of release for their flagship yearly mix, ‘The Annual 2008’.

Mixed by longstanding MOS favourites John Course and Goodwill, ‘The Annual 2008’ beat out stiff competition on the ARIA Charts, pushing golden-oldies The Eagles from the top spot to take out poll position. First week sales of the latest annual exceed the record set last year by a staggering 51%!

With many events on the cards over the summer period, including the national CD launch tour currently underway, the sky really is the limit for the MOS crew. ITM says congrats!

Unless things have changed in the last two years, I think you'll find that a #1 record or single is based on actual weekly sales and averages - but gold / platinum record awards and similar accolades are based on retailer orders. Although your point is st
