Hello everyone,
As end of year charts have already started to be published for 2007, even though it's not yet the end of the year, I'd better start off the usual annual thread so we can keep everything together in one place.
First out were in fact the US annual Billboard charts last week and I'll post them soon... but as we can see from the main charts thread here, NZ has now published some annual charts - but care, they are interim charts and they could change at the end of the year when Christmas sales have been added.
The most detailed report so far is from the NZ Music Awards website here - click for full details of all the charts but here is the report and interim album chart - I will replace it by the final version when it's released next month.
The three NZ albums (highlighted in blue) are likely to be the three nominations for Highest Selling Album of the Year at the Vodaphone NZ Music Awards next October so we must hope that Brooke Fraser doesn't catch Hayley because if she doesn't, Hayley will win!
Cheers, Dave

Hayley, Brooke & Hollie dominate year’s album sales
- and it’s the women who have been belting out the biggest tunes.
The figures for the year aren’t yet final but heading the list is Hayley Westenra’s ‘Treasure’, the country’s top selling album based on over-the-counter and legal digital sales to December 9.
Coming in at #4 is Brooke Fraser’s second album ‘Albertine’ while Hollie Smith is at #10 with her debut recording ‘Long Player’.
Hollie’s and Brooke both made a big noise at this year’s Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards.
Hollie won three Tuis including Breakthrough Artist of the Year and Brooke won two awards including the Highest Selling Album Tui.
Brooke also had success in the radio airplay chart for 2007, with her single “Shadowfeet” coming in at #2, but it was Opshop’s ‘Maybe’ from their album ‘Second Hand Planet’ that took the radio airplay chart song of the year accolade. Opshop - winner of the People’s Choice award - and Brooke are the only Kiwis to crack the top 10 as far as radio airplay is concerned.
Top selling single to December 9 is ‘Umbrella’ from Rihanna featuring JayZ while the Kiwi group Atlas comes in at #6 with the debut single ‘Crawl’. Just missing out on the top 10 is Opshop’s ‘Maybe’ at #11.
‘Now That’s What I call Music 23’ heads the compilation list while Andre Rieu’s ‘New York Memories: Live at Radio City’ is the year’s top-selling DVD so far.
2007 saw the inclusion of digital downloads on the Official New Zealand Music Charts from New Zealand’s legal, digital music retailers. The charts now represent the full spectrum of New Zealand music sales.
The final results for 2007 will be available early in the new year and will include all Christmas sales.
The figures are compiled by Media Sauce Ltd. for the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ) which has just released The Official Chart sales data to December 9.
The full list of the nation’s favourite music for 2007 is:
