Sales of music downloads in the United Kingdom have been monitored since 2004; during the 2000s, these sales were collated by the Official Charts Company and compiled weekly into the UK Official Download Chart, a record chart of the biggest-selling downloads in the UK. [1]
In September 2009, The Daily Telegraph published a chart of what were the best-selling music downloads of the decade to that point. American singer Lady Gaga was number one with her 2009 single " Poker Face". [2]
Several songs sold a significant amount in the final four months of the decade, after The Daily Telegraph's list was published. These songs include " Bad Boys" by Alexandra Burke, " Fight for This Love" by Cheryl Cole, and " Killing in the Name" by Rage Against the Machine, which sold more than half a million copies in one week to become the 2009 Christmas number one.
