Yay! I would guess it'll overtake Spirit at some point as it's the highest selling out of top 5 on a weekly basis.

I did notice that but I assume the sales info that poster had for Spirit were much more out of date compared to The Fame? unsure.gif I can't see Leona getting regular sales updates posted like Gaga's tallies are tongue.gif

Sam Smith's album is doing the best atm but only slightly more than The Fame.

With how streaming works and stuff, I imagine in time it will at least overtake Leona and Shania?

Yes true! Could be overtaken by stuff further below it but I think it's going to be a mainstay in the top 10 for a while to come!
