Im not sure exactly, this is a question that i would like somebody to answer aswell, but i heard once that between release monday and chart compilement sat/sun, over six days you need to sell in the region of between 400 and 1000 records to get into the top 40.
The top 100 however is a different story. You only need to sell a few to get into the top 100. When i say a few im meaning 10's-100's of copys.
A few sounds crazy easy, but without money for marketing, its hard to sell more than a few in six days.
O' by the way, I think this to be true about Hard Sales rather than internet downloads.

Madonna is the top-selling female recording artist in the U.S, that is if we combine both her albums and singles sales. But if you're going to break it down, in the album category, she is second to Barbra Streisand while for the singles category, she tops among all female artists. She is also the female artist w/ most certified singles (gold and platinum) in the U.S. surpassing The Beatles' record.
