Is selling very well so far. Shall be interesting to see how it keeps up with sales as WPSIATWIN wasn't really the best for seeing how it with-held with sales because there weren't any proper singles bar the first two released to promote the album.

They should become the 5th biggest selling album of the year so far, this week and then could possibly over take the Kaisers within the next few weeks!

Posted by: bellboys May 10 2007, 07:29 PM

I actually think there will be 3 chart-eligible singles relaesed from this album, which should help, then of course headlining Glastonbury won't exactly harm album sales. But the great thing about AM is you never can predict what they will do next. Turner has already got a few songs ready for recording, so who knows what will come of them?

Posted by: Rooney May 10 2007, 07:56 PM

Are they new songs for album #3 or for b-sides?

Posted by: bellboys May 10 2007, 08:16 PM

No idea, tbh. They could be for yet another EP, or they may be shelved until the new album. Or they could be shelved for ever. I read a review by some Yank the other day stating that in their (current) 75 min show they more or less exhausted all their songs. It's a total nonsense, of course, I reckon AM have approx 50 songs they could play at any one time.

Posted by: Rooney May 10 2007, 09:27 PM

I think they might release another EP for the 3rd single, or maybe even the 2nd, shall just have to see though I guess.

AM have loads of songs that they could play, I mean they've played b-sides and EP tracks and the lot at gigs, and how many other bands do that?

Posted by: Grandwicky May 11 2007, 10:29 AM

Yeah they played Bigger Boys And Stolen Sweethearts at the last one I went to and my mate couldn't believe it as it was her favourite song by them I still can't believe that was only a b-side then again that shows how good they are

Posted by: Luciano May 12 2007, 06:25 PM

Those are amazing sales so far. They'll get to No.1 soon!

Posted by: Rooney May 12 2007, 07:13 PM

I hope they will!

But i'm not too sure. I'm glad that they're not leaving it late to release a 2nd single as that will mean by the time the simgle is released it's still floating there or thereabouts in the chart, so it's not too hard to find a copy.

Posted by: bellboys May 13 2007, 01:18 PM

FA seems to be getting a lot of airplay already. It's got definite number 1 potential (just as long as they don't release it when 2 corporate divas decide to release a duet or summat).

Posted by: Rooney May 13 2007, 01:42 PM

I'm suprised how quickly they've got things going with the 2nd single to be honest. Most other artists seem to wait a good few weeks after the hype of the lead single has died down, before sending the 2nd single to radio, which must mean the video should be out in a few weeks.

Posted by: space May 13 2007, 05:05 PM

the album s still number one in uk (3rd week)

Posted by: Rooney May 13 2007, 05:11 PM

I know!

In the midweeks the Manics were nearly 2k ahead of them, so it really suprised me to see them as #1 again this week. So the question begs, will it be able to match the 4 weeks at the top WPSIATWIN had?

Posted by: space May 14 2007, 09:06 AM

allbum chart -3rd week : 39,488 (#1)

Posted by: Rooney May 14 2007, 05:43 PM

Unexpectedly surviving the release of new albums from Travis and the Manic Street Preachers to spend a third week at number one, the Arctic Monkeys’ second album, Favourite Worst Nightmare sold 39,488 copies last week, to take its 20 day tally to 349,078, writes Alan Jones.

That’s enough to move it up to fifth place in the year to date table, behind Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black (600,825), Take That’s Beautiful World (535,704), Life In Cartoon Motion by Mika (453,061) and Yours Truly, Angry Mob by The Kaiser Chiefs (388,877).

While that’s an impressive achievement, its sales so far still trail the massive 363,735 first week tally of the Arctic Monkeys’ 2006 debut Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, and the fact that neither Travis nor the Manic Street Preachers - both acts with multiple platinum million sellers to their credit - were able to sell even 40,000 copies of their new albums on their first week in the shops underlines the frailty of the current market.

For the second time in as many weeks, the Manic Street Preachers snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Last week, their single Your Love Alone Is Not Enough surrendered its midweek lead to finish at number two, and this week their new album Send Away The Tigers does likewise. It was number one on all of the midweek sales flashes but its final sales of 38,769 place it just behind Favourite Worst Nightmare. The Manics’ 10th chart entry, it at least made a much better start than their last album, 2004’s Lifeblood, which debuted and peaked at number 13 on first week sales of 23,990, and has still sold fewer than 80,000 copies.

Source: Music Week

It got #1, but only just! I think it'll sell alright again this week, but I dunno whether it'll still be #1. Competition from Amerie and Linkin Park as well as maybe one of the other albums possibly climbing!

It's funny though, how the total cume of Favourite Worst Nightmare hasn't yet beat the first week sales of WPSIATWIN!

Posted by: Rooney May 15 2007, 05:23 PM

Is midweeked at #4 this week...

Posted by: Grandwicky May 16 2007, 11:06 AM

Updated the first post Pleased with the sales so far even if it hasn't outsold WPSIATWIN's first week sales still

Posted by: Rooney May 16 2007, 05:40 PM

That's my thoughts exactly!

Nice to see it at #4 in the YTD chart though. Hopefully it shall over take the Kaisers album once FA is out.

wk 4 UK album chart

1. (-) Minutes to Midnight – Linkin Park
2. (-) Release the Stars – Rufus Wainwright
3. (-) Tales Don't Tell Themselves – Funeral For a Friend
4. (1) Favourite Worst Nightmare – Arctic Monkeys

Posted by: Rooney May 20 2007, 04:43 PM

Anyone else know what big albums are out next week? I can't think of many. I reckon the Monkeys might climb next week to #3.

Posted by: Rooney May 20 2007, 06:10 PM

On the artist album chart, The Arctic Monkeys three-week reign with Favourite Worst Nightmare comes to an end, with a 39.3% slip in its sales, to 23,950, forcing it to dip to number four behind a trio of new entries – but third placed Funeral For A Friend and runner-up Rufus Wainwright are simply bit part players to Linkin Park, whose Minutes To Midnight registers their best ever weekly sales tally of 94,501. It’s the first hard rock album to top the chart since last July, when both Lostprophets and Muse reached number one. Muse opened with an even higher first week sale of 115,144.

Sold okay again this week. The album's holding up quite well. I reckon it'll do another 15-19k again this week, and might even possibly climb. I just hope the album can still be in the Top15 by the time FA's airplay/tv exposure begins to happen.

Posted by: bellboys May 20 2007, 07:37 PM

Muse and Lostprophets are 'hard rock'?

Posted by: Rooney May 20 2007, 07:39 PM

Blame Music Weekly. I think it's them just stating the difference in music between say Razorlight, The Killers and Arctic Monkeys compared to Muse and Lostprophets, even though, there really isn't that much difference.

Posted by: Grandwicky May 20 2007, 09:19 PM

Well they're hardly 'hard rock' but they're 'heavier' than the likes of Razorlight and Arctics which is what they're trying to get at.

Anyway Arctics have better sales than the mids were saying they would and Linkin Park must have sold over half their copies on Monday

Posted by: Rooney May 20 2007, 09:24 PM

That's what i'm glad at now as well. I think they could possibly climb next week, but i'm not sure how high though. I mean has the total cume for FWN surpassed the original first week sales for WPSIATWIN?

Posted by: Rooney May 23 2007, 01:21 PM

Updated.

There's about a 30k gap until the Kaisers, but they've got a 2nd single out at the moment. So hopefully the Arctics should over take them in due course.

Posted by: bellboys May 23 2007, 02:21 PM

I'm amazed at some people commenting on how 'poorly' this album has sold (not in this thread, but on Haven's chart thread in particular). Seems like there are a few people who are almost praying for them to crash and burn, which is a bit sad IMHO. This was never going to sell as many as the debut in the first few weeks but to be number 5 in the YTD album sales chart after 4 weeks would be classed as an amazing achievement for any other band, let alone an Indie one.

Posted by: space May 23 2007, 03:54 PM

^thats what i m sayin.
AM are not oasis n they dont want to become a band like oasis (btw,i love oasis).
they are doing their own thing n so far everything is great (except not releasing Mardly Bum...)

Posted by: Rooney May 23 2007, 04:54 PM

Yep I know exactly what you mean. This album has sold BRILLIANTLY so far. Sure sales aren't as good as WPSIATWN, but I don't think many fans expected them to be. Thing is as well, they're on a small labell, unlike any of the acts around them, who have lots of money to be able to promote everything. After 1 single it's done 350k at a slow time of the year, so I think that it's done great so far.

Posted by: Rooney May 28 2007, 02:11 PM

I'm thinking the Monkeys sold about 16k this week looking at the Music Weekly report.

VERY steep fall this week, but I guess that's down to the fact that Paul McCartney, Mutya, The Twang, Rihanna etc etc have all had new albums out this week. Still the promo is beginning to take it's toll for FA now, so hopefully the album shall climb!

Posted by: space Jun 10 2007, 07:02 PM

yeah a lot of new entries that week

Posted by: bellboys Jun 10 2007, 09:06 PM

Glasto + FA release = big sales boost.

Posted by: Let Me Get Tha Jun 10 2007, 09:26 PM

I think the album's sales so far are bloody amazing! Everyone saying its a flop compared to the first, it was never ever going to sell aswell as the first, its what happens with all acts, and thats the sales off one single, wait till FA is out the albums gonna shoot back up in the the upcoming weeks

Posted by: Rooney Jun 10 2007, 09:33 PM

True. WPSIATWIN sold brilliantly. It sold so much in it's first couple of weeks and very little albums experience that, and I mean I never thought in a million years they'd come up with an album that sold as well as their first did, and like you those album sales happened with only really 1 single. FA is really shaping up to be huge, as it's got a lot of wide spread appeal and quite a few people that wouldn't consider themselves Arctic Monkey's fans have said great things about FA.

I've updated the first post, with the full Top30 album's.

Yep it's beginning to steadily catch up ground with the Kaiser Chiefs album now which is good, I reckon it could over take it within the next couple of weeks!

Posted by: Poprocks87 Jun 23 2007, 09:46 AM

I hope FA can make the album come back to the top3! That would be the least for such an amazing song!

Posted by: Rooney Jun 23 2007, 02:24 PM

I think it might, I mean I think the album will shift a few extra copies today and next week as well from their Glasto performance!

Posted by: Rooney Jun 26 2007, 10:45 AM

These are the sale figures for last week:

01 White Stripes 66.000
02 Travelling Wilburys 52.100
03 Enrique Iglesias 27.200

06 Amy Winehouse 21.500
08 Calvin Harris 16.200
35 Ray LaMontagne 6.900

Source: BuzzJack and Music Weekly

I'd hazard a guess that the album sold about 14k this week, give or take a little as sales seem to pretty tight once you're out of the Top10. Hopefully though the album will go Top10 next week again.

will pass half a million in a week or two i reckon

Posted by: Rooney Jul 9 2007, 12:15 PM

I reckon the album sold about 15k this week, which means it should have over taken the Kaiser Chiefs in total sales so far!

Posted by: SlimJim Jul 9 2007, 04:19 PM

good cos arctics are so much better!!

Posted by: Rooney Jul 9 2007, 06:27 PM

So true.

And hopefully this should pass 500k in a couple of weeks, it's on course to do so at the moment and the exposure the single's getting and all the gigs they're playing can't be doing them any harm and add that to the LCCC gigs that are happening as well, hopefully it's sales should be increasing all the time.

I hope it sells that much, airplay and everything still seems to be good so hopefully it should sell 15k, but it only needs what 11k to pass 500k?

Posted by: Rooney Jul 22 2007, 06:10 PM

3 Beautiful World – Take That 629,000

Posted by: Rooney Aug 1 2007, 03:10 PM

It's selling great at the moment, hopefully we'll see it pass another 10k this week! I dunno how much Old Yellow Bricks will push the album. Maybe more than FA did because I think more people were inclined to download FA than buy the album, but maybe when people hear OLB they might buy the album?

Posted by: space Aug 1 2007, 05:52 PM

btw , we have to wait the old trafford effect...if theres any ...

Posted by: Rooney Aug 1 2007, 06:22 PM

So true!

There might be some effect, I mean they played to a LOT of people and I think Amy's album sales will rise this week too, but we'll just see come Sunday I guess.

Posted by: space Aug 2 2007, 03:53 PM

yeah we ll have to wait n see even if i dont expect bigger sales than their weekly usual...its funny that Glastonbury n T in The Park gigs didnt increase their album sales...not even the release of their catchiest tune FA...from the other hand more than500.000 sales for a few weeks remains a great achievement

Posted by: Rooney Aug 2 2007, 03:54 PM

I think Glasto did increase sales a little bit, but the album's still selling really well, it's sold 515k to date and hopefully it should still sell a lot more and it may even sell a million.

Posted by: Rooney Aug 5 2007, 06:08 PM

They're #14 again in this weeks chart!

Posted by: Rooney Aug 6 2007, 10:51 AM

Posted by: Rooney Aug 13 2007, 09:26 AM

I reckon the album did about 7k this week. There or thereabouts anyway.

Posted by: *Ryan* Aug 14 2007, 02:17 PM

Its going steadily!

I really cant see Old Yellow Bricks doing much for the Album though

Posted by: Rooney Aug 14 2007, 02:23 PM

I hope it does, but i'm not too sure. I guess it just depends on what the video airplay etc is like for it.

But i'm not sure anymore whether Old Yellow Bricks is gonna be the next single. Jo Whiley said today she has no idea at all what the new single is and i'd have thought with her connections and everything she'd have known. So it makes me think that Old Yellow Bricks as a single is still really a rumour and something like 505 or Teddy Picker might be released as the 3rd single instead.

Posted by: *Ryan* Aug 14 2007, 02:27 PM

Well yeah exactly. It hasnt been confirmed, so there is still always doubt.

But i think the obvious choices are 505 and Teddy Picker. I remember 505 being played quite a bit by Radio stations, just as the album was released, and it seemed to get a great response.

Old Yellow Bricks is one of my faves, but if they want Album sales, 505 or Teddy Picker are the better choices.

But i dunno, Maybe Old Yellow Bricks has like a personal thing to the band or something hence why they might want to release it.

Posted by: Rooney Aug 14 2007, 02:37 PM

505 and Teddy Picker are the best choices and I hope they release one of them, but i'm not sure whether they will.

If they do release Old Yellow Bricks i've a feeling they'll have already done the video for it, because when they did the Brits they accepted one of their awards dressed up as The Wizard of Oz characters, and if they did do a video then i'd say it would have some concept to do with The Wizard of Oz because that's what the song's based on. And didn't they say that they missed the Brits because they were filming a video? Would make sense I guess, but only time will tell.

Posted by: jonieboi866 Aug 14 2007, 02:39 PM

wooo go amy!!!!

Posted by: blade699 Aug 14 2007, 07:26 PM

I don't think they've got another million seller on their hands but if they pick the right 3rd single, or indeed if they just get to a 3rd single they can make it to about 800,000 which isn't that far off the first album sales I don't think

So this album will have done well considering alot of the hype the first one got

Posted by: Rooney Aug 14 2007, 07:33 PM

I totally agree. I don't think there's much chance the alubm will sell a million but even what it's sold so far is great. The first albums done about 1,150,000 I tink so i'd say at a guess the first album at the moment has sold about double what FWN has to date.

I think there's potential though for this album to sell quite a lot more though still, but it just depends on things. When 3rd single comes out it's gonna be a very competitive time with loads of artists returning with their new singles and everything so it might hamper the airplay etc that the 3rd single will get.

Doing well! I just hope they eventually beat Take That, who honestly buys that $h!te :|

Hopefully they overtake Mika too, but i dont see it

Posted by: Rooney Aug 16 2007, 05:53 PM

I doubt they'll over take either Take That or Mika, both will sell a million (again in Take That's case) this year I reckon. Mika will release a 4th single around Xmas time so he'll get bumper sales and Take That have their huge tour at the end of the year and that's likely to help them sell a lot more records.

Posted by: Rooney Aug 19 2007, 09:19 PM

The album will have sold about 7k this week I think.

Posted by: Aly Aug 22 2007, 03:19 AM

It should be announced soon.

8th October apparantley is the release date for Old Yellow Bricks.

Posted by: Rooney Aug 26 2007, 06:47 PM

Arctic Monkeys at #37 this week.

It's falling VERY quickly at the moment.

Posted by: space Aug 27 2007, 05:28 PM

...n i cant understand the reasons...btw,i think that "old yellow bricks" will not help a lot...

Posted by: Rooney Aug 27 2007, 05:39 PM

The sooner Old Yellow Bricks starts getting airplay the better to be honest. I just hope the album doesn't fall out of the Top75!

Apparently anyway Old Yellow Bricks has been used as theme tune music on MTV Italy and it's gone down really well so who knows. It might help the album, but then again it might not.

Posted by: space Aug 28 2007, 04:50 PM

how can a great album , with big already sales n great reviews start to fallin when the fratellis(love them) are still selling?n i dont mewntion the killers or the snow patrol (awful lps)

Posted by: Rooney Aug 28 2007, 04:57 PM

Maybe it's just they're getting more exposure and stuff?

Bu Favourite Worst Nightmare has sold 600k which is still good. Hopefully it should sell a bit more though before they put this era to bed and start work on the next album.

Posted by: *Ryan* Aug 31 2007, 10:33 AM

Only 4k, eek thats bad

Seems album sales are quite awful at the moment too. It will hopefully sell 750-800k.

I dont see 3x Platinum happening though

Posted by: Rooney Aug 31 2007, 03:32 PM

Album sales on the whole are truly terrible at the moment, but I think that from next Monday they should begin to rise again as some big albums are being released and hopefully that might lift album sales.

I just hope it manages to not fall out of the Top75 in the next couple of weeks, I don't think it will but it may but here's hoping all the promo for Old Yellow Bricks has started in a week or two!

But the album's sold well over 500k now and Domino will be as happy as Larry with those sales and the Arctics won't be too disappointed with them either.

Posted by: Rooney Sep 2 2007, 06:39 PM

The album's back up one place to #36 this week!

Posted by: Rooney Sep 3 2007, 01:42 PM

I'd say the album sold there or thereabouts 5k this week which is an improvement upon last week.

Hopefully sales should begin to rise now within the next few weeks!

Posted by: space Sep 3 2007, 09:35 PM

we could expect even bigger sales...anyway...maybe the 2nd album sales syndrome...frand ferdinand had the almost the same problem with their second album.great reviews but not over 1m like their first lp.

bloc party , keane , especially kaiser chiefs , libertines , kasabian , almost every uk band , didnt do better than arctics in album sales with their second lp...maybe razorlight only but that was definitely a sell out or just a matter of luck("america" anyone?)...

only a very strong single can bring back the album high oin the charts and as i v said i can see only "teddy bear" to make it...

Posted by: *Ryan* Sep 4 2007, 11:30 AM

Yeah, 2nd album syndrome has hit them i think.

But just because it wont sell as much as the debut, its automatically labelled somewhat a flop, when i reality it isnt.

Not many artists, can out-do their debuts tbh....

Posted by: Rooney Sep 4 2007, 12:01 PM

Most bands get hit by the 2nd album syndrome after having a huge first album and like you say Space, the only band that really hasn't been affected by it is Razorlight, who have had a huge selling 2nd album. Bands like Hard-Fi and Editors don't have as much pressure on them with their 2nd albums because when thry were first released they never really set the charts on fire but over the next few months after their albums were released they gradually got bigger sales and more exposure.

But Arctic Monkeys still have a lot left in them this era I reckon, if they win the Mercury award tonight they'll have a rise in album sales and with the right promo and a good video Old Yellow Bricks should do reasonably well too.

Only 6%. :\ That's pretty awful considering the increase that all the others have.

However, saying that it's the 2nd highest selling album on the list and they've not really been in the public eye of much lately and they didn't perform either, but hey, 6% is better than nothing right?

The album's down to #39 this week, but it's had a sales increase this week I do believe so all is good.

What is pleasing though is Klaxons album [who's had all this hype with the Mercurys] is below Arctic Monkeys album this week!

At least it's not sliding out of the Top75 like I thought it might!

Posted by: space Sep 11 2007, 08:31 AM

it s gonna be back in the top 20 (at least) with their 3rd single ...that s happenin to kaiser chiefs now

Posted by: Rooney Sep 11 2007, 12:22 PM

Well I hope so, not too sure though because of the amount of albums that are being released at the moment.

I reckon the album sold about 4-5k again last week.

Posted by: Rooney Sep 16 2007, 06:13 PM

The album's at #54 this week.

They really need to start promo on the next single or the album is gonna completely fall out of the Top75!

Sold about 4k since the last update. They REALLY need to get the 3rd single promo sorted out now or else the album is gonna completely disappear out of the Top 75.

Posted by: blade699 Sep 26 2007, 09:56 PM

Their sales aren't even that bad, only 2 singles and sales have been really low for about 6 months

They really need a third single to get those christmas sales in though, but it could easily do another couple of hundred thousand if they pick the right song and if it's released at the right time

Posted by: Rooney Sep 26 2007, 10:04 PM

I agree, and maybe they're delaying the release of the single to do that?

But anyway the album sales are good, they're on a small independant label and selling almost 600k is great for a label like Domino! Considering they do minimal promo too [well compared to a lot of other acts] it's even better news!

Posted by: blade699 Sep 26 2007, 10:40 PM

Yeah, for their label it's very good

Hard-Fi for instance have been doing promo non-stop for the past month and their album is down to no.20 after just 3 weeks when it's easily one of the best of the year, I don't get that one

Posted by: Rooney Sep 26 2007, 10:45 PM

I know, i'll be suprised if it'll do a 100k before the promo rounds start for "Can't Get Along (Without You)" and i've a feeling too that the single might flop a bit tbh. Not sure how well it'll do at promoting the album either, shall hopefully help the album's sales in the Xmas period though. I think though if they want to really make something of this album, then around January time they have to release "Tonight" as a single. Poor sales but nothing much will be about meaning the album may do a Wino or something along those lines if promoted correctly.

Posted by: Rooney Sep 30 2007, 06:19 PM

The album has risen one place to #58 this week!

Hopefully it won't fall out of the Top75 afterall before all the promo and stuff happens for Teddy Picker.

Posted by: space Sep 30 2007, 06:22 PM

good news then...

Posted by: Rooney Sep 30 2007, 06:30 PM

Very! There was lots of albums released this week too (and there will be in the coming weeks also) so for it to climb, even though it was the 1 position it was good. Maybe even means a slight sales increase this week aswell.

Posted by: J♦Ñη¥ Sep 30 2007, 06:41 PM

You look at terrable albums by the likes of Mika and Amy Winehouse (Sorry but it is SO overated) which stays in the top 20 every week and then great albums like the Arctics which can only stay round the 50 mark... I dont know whats wrong with people...

Posted by: Rooney Sep 30 2007, 07:07 PM

But Mika and Wino both have a lot more publicity and everything. Amy Winehouse has barely been out of the press this year, and Mika's had probably the biggest track of 2007 out.

Posted by: Rooney Oct 1 2007, 01:45 PM

566,687

They are the exact sales to date. Very good sales in my opinion which can hopefully be improved upon over the next couple of months before they end this era and start on the new album.

Posted by: J♦Ñη¥ Oct 1 2007, 04:06 PM

An album like that doesnt deserve to be just double platinum

Posted by: Rooney Oct 1 2007, 05:01 PM

Well maybe so.

But i'm confident it's sales will rise in due course.

for an indie act like them these sales are great.

Posted by: Rooney Oct 7 2007, 06:15 PM

#65 this week.

I HOPE this doesn't fall out of the Top75 before Teddy Picker's promo stars, but I think it might now!

Posted by: J♦Ñη¥ Oct 7 2007, 07:27 PM

I reckon it will drop next week..

However.. I think it will rise (Top 20) when Teddy Picker promo comes out

Posted by: Rooney Oct 7 2007, 07:36 PM

I think it will too! But like you say it *should* rise with all the promo for Teddy Picker, so all is good.

Posted by: Rooney Oct 8 2007, 01:25 PM

I reckon the album sold about 3k this week.

Posted by: Rooney Oct 9 2007, 03:44 PM

Yeah so it's sold about 3k since the last update which I thought it had.

Hopefully it should pass 600k with ease! Maybe even possibly hit 700k with the promo for Teddy Picker?

Posted by: space Oct 9 2007, 07:53 PM

^seems very possible especially if the album returns in the top 20 durin december with teddy picker , the gigs n some more awards...

Posted by: Rooney Oct 9 2007, 08:21 PM

Very true.

The gigs should hopefully give the album a nice little boost as well as the promo of Teddy Picker.

Posted by: Rooney Oct 14 2007, 10:09 PM

They're at #68 this week.

Maybe they sold another couple of thousand this week at most? Not soo sure tbh.

Posted by: J♦Ñη¥ Oct 14 2007, 10:11 PM

Teddy Picker is being played ALT on Zane Lowe Should boost sales

Posted by: Rooney Oct 15 2007, 04:56 PM

*Runs off to buy every copy at local HMV*

Posted by: Rooney Oct 21 2007, 09:36 PM

Oh well. It should still be in the HMV chart which ia a g should rise again good thing! And it should rise again once the promo for Teddy Picker starts!

Posted by: *Ryan* Oct 22 2007, 02:31 PM

75?

"Teddy Picker" should push the album 2x Platinum but i really dont think they will do much more than that

Posted by: Rooney Oct 22 2007, 04:30 PM

"Teddy Picker" will be the final single i'm sure of it, which will mean the album will probably stall at sales of 600k, which isn't too bad when you look at it tbh. Album sales have been terrible this year really, and so far it's out sold Kaiser Chiefs who's first album sold a lot more than Arctic Monkeys.

Posted by: SlimJim Oct 28 2007, 08:29 PM

yer 2x platinum is still a great achievement!!!

Posted by: Grandwicky Oct 30 2007, 04:32 PM

It should probably do at least 700K this year and it'll probably get close to a million by next year's Brits which isn't bad at all

Posted by: Rooney Oct 30 2007, 04:56 PM

I hope they're nominated for a couple of Brits again! I think they will. I'm not entirely sure whether they'll win Best Album and Best Band again this year though, but then again I can't see other bands winning or getting nominated either. Hard-Fi maybe for both? Then Mika for Best Album maybe? I'm not sure at all though, I can't think of many at all!

Posted by: ArcticJim Oct 30 2007, 10:09 PM

it definitely deserves to make a mil but i think it will sell about 800-850k overall when the era's over...

Posted by: Pumpkin Rooney Oct 30 2007, 11:58 PM

I don't even think it will sell that. Which is a shame because it's a really good album. It deserves to sell a million, but I don't even think it'll come close to selling that!

The album is not to seen AT ALL in the Top100 anymore!

Posted by: ArcticJim Nov 12 2007, 08:06 PM

im sure it will in the next 2 or so weeks now that Teddy Picker is on the radio and music channels

Posted by: Rooney Nov 12 2007, 08:12 PM

I really hope so, but i'm just not sure. It should get back into the Top75 easily enough i'd have thought though. It's getting strong Radio 1 support hopefully they might do a tiny bit of promo for it, but we'll just see.

Posted by: Rooney Nov 14 2007, 08:42 PM

Same here tbh. I thought it would sell a lot more overall, but I guess not. 600k is really good sales though, especially putting them into context with what other new albums have sold this year!

Posted by: space Nov 16 2007, 10:45 AM

do we have the album positions for the lost weeks?

Posted by: Rooney Dec 2 2007, 11:03 PM

Still no sign of the album in the Top75!

Posted by: Drastic Cynosure Dec 2 2007, 11:14 PM

It'll definitely do so next week. And Teddy Picker will somehow make top 5, but more realistically lower top 10.

Posted by: Rooney Dec 3 2007, 12:00 AM

I'm not even sure it'll go Top10 next week!!!

But mind you, there is literally NOTHING out next week, and the physical of Teddy Picker should shift a fair amount. Will be nice to see where it is in the midweeks.

album position that week?

Posted by: Rooney Dec 9 2007, 06:14 PM

It was out of the Top75, not sure exactly where though! Maybe at like #80? Not sure.

Posted by: Jonny Dec 9 2007, 06:20 PM

It was 80 last week and it's 82 this.

Posted by: Rooney Dec 9 2007, 06:35 PM

Sales won't be too bad though will they? Should pass 600k before Xmas with a bit of luck.

Posted by: space Dec 9 2007, 10:26 PM

they are gonna pass the 600k limit next week for sure.
but its sad no to see a great album like this back in the higher places og the chart.
seems that only mediocre stadium bands can do it...
they v had an amazing new single out , a new tour , their albums is already in some lists with the best albums of the year...

Posted by: Rooney Dec 15 2007, 05:03 PM

It's been that way for a while now.

I doubt they'll catch up to the Arctics.

Posted by: space Dec 16 2007, 10:18 AM

^yeah but they are closer now...

Posted by: Rooney Dec 16 2007, 04:46 PM

True, but I still think the Arctics will edge them in terms of total sales!

Posted by: Rooney Dec 16 2007, 07:29 PM

#71 in the charts this week!

Excellent news. Seems the tour has helped the album back into he Top75.

Posted by: ArcticJim Dec 17 2007, 06:48 PM

they must of made 600k this week then?

Posted by: Rooney Dec 17 2007, 06:49 PM

I hope so. #24 sold like 40k I think, so hopefully the AM sold at least 5k this week.

Posted by: ArcticJim Dec 17 2007, 07:01 PM

i swear Josh Groban was like 81 and he sold like 4.7k.....

Posted by: Rooney Dec 17 2007, 07:09 PM

Even better then! I just hope it's sold well, as it really does deserve to hit 600k.

Posted by: Rooney Dec 24 2007, 01:36 PM

I reckon the album must have sold there or thereabouts 10k this week which is excellent!

I've no idea what their total sales are anymore. I'd guess the album will total up at about 630k...

I'd be VERY suprised if there was a 4th single, and seen as another Arctic Monkeys album is penciled in for 2008, as well as Alex's side album I doubt there will be. So unless a song of theirs is used in an advert or something i'd imagine the sales it has at the moment will be there or thereabouts the final sales.

Posted by: Rooney Jan 13 2008, 07:34 PM

The album is at #98 this week for anyone that's interested.

Posted by: space Jan 14 2008, 11:46 AM

i cant understand this...its like the last year...
awards , best of the year lists , new 3rd single , december gigs n the album is ...#98...promotional problem maybe or what?

...when in the top 75 are many mediocre indie albums...

Posted by: Rooney Jan 14 2008, 03:01 PM

Yep it'll definitely be a promotion problem, but tbh, I don't think Domino really care. Selling over 600k for an album is amazing from an independant label. With the money they'd spend on promo they'd probably make a loss in the end.

Posted by: space Jan 15 2008, 12:27 PM

yeah but they could almost double these sales...anyway...i think that FWN sold 1,5 m worldwide...!

Posted by: Rooney Jan 15 2008, 02:32 PM

True. It'd be nice, but I don't think it'll happen.

1.5 million worldwide is great! It sounds about right, give or take a little.

75 N 30 Arctic Monkeys Favourite Worst Nightmare

Posted by: Rooney Jan 20 2008, 11:40 PM

I think it's climbed because of the Brit nominations this week.

Hopefully their should be an increase in sales too when it comes down to the actual awards as well!

Posted by: Jonny Jan 22 2008, 05:49 PM

The Album sales are there or about 630,000 sales now!

Posted by: Rooney Jan 22 2008, 09:23 PM

Excellenty. Hopefully they'll increase too now, especially with the Brit.

Posted by: Rooney Jan 27 2008, 07:29 PM

Album is up to #59 this week!

Posted by: space Jan 27 2008, 09:49 PM

the only way is

Posted by: Rooney Jan 27 2008, 10:31 PM

Hopefully! I was very suprised it climbed this week anyway.

Posted by: Rooney Jan 28 2008, 05:53 PM

I think the album has sold just over 3k this week.

Posted by: Rooney Feb 3 2008, 07:12 PM

Album is #50 this week!

Posted by: Rooney Feb 10 2008, 07:06 PM

Album is #61 this week.

No idea how much it has sold though...

Posted by: Rooney Feb 11 2008, 03:11 PM

I think the album has sold about 3k this week. Well there or thereabouts anyway.

Posted by: Rooney Feb 17 2008, 06:54 PM

#70 in this weeks album charts.

Let's hope it rises significantly this week because of the BRITs. And even moreso if they win an award...or 2.

Posted by: space Feb 20 2008, 12:03 PM

still no news about sales...

Posted by: Rooney Feb 20 2008, 09:54 PM

Nopee. There might be some this week now after their Brits win, but we'll just have to wait until Monday I guess.

Posted by: Rooney Feb 24 2008, 07:17 PM

Album is up to #40 this week!

Will be interesting to see what the sales roughly are tomorrow!

Posted by: Rooney Feb 25 2008, 05:47 PM

As a rough guess I think the album sold about 6k this week...

Posted by: Rooney Mar 2 2008, 07:12 PM

Album is down 5 to #49 this week!

Posted by: Grandwicky Mar 2 2008, 08:37 PM

Does anyone ever think they don't sell as much as they really should do? I know I'm always 'sales don't matter' but I really think that considering the amount of c**p that has sold over a million FWN deserves to be there too!

Posted by: space Mar 2 2008, 08:45 PM

^agree...

Posted by: Rooney Mar 2 2008, 09:40 PM

It'd be nice to see it sell more, but I don't really think it matters at the end of the day. They've plenty of good fans and their gigs always sell out, and they've no chance of getting dropped in the near future! Would have been nice to see this album sell over a million, but ah well.

Posted by: Grandwicky Mar 3 2008, 04:42 PM

Well yeah that's what I mean it'd just be nice that's all! But that's the thing about them I really like, they're people who you can say they're 100% in it for the MUSIC and that's what it should be all about!

Posted by: Rooney Mar 3 2008, 08:27 PM

No idea at all how much the album sold this week. I'd put my best estimation at about 6k-7k.

This is just for 2007. I imagine FWN's total sales will be close/surpassed 650k now. Also it's good to see how much WPSIATWIN has sold in 2007!

Posted by: Rooney Mar 9 2008, 07:53 PM

Album is down 1 to #50 this week!

Posted by: Rooney Mar 10 2008, 06:17 PM

I reckon the album sold about 4k this week!

Would be interesting to see an updated version of their sales from 07 and 08 added together...

Posted by: Norma_Snockers Mar 10 2008, 08:11 PM

Rooney! This is an official invite for you to visit the Take That Forum! I think it only fair that you return the favour as I've visited the Monkeys forum (and a very entertaining forum it is too). Please visit even if its only to say hello/goodbye!

Rooney! Thanks for the visit ... even if it was a brief one! As I know that you Arctics have a fab sense of humour - what do you think of this little story! Totally true of course!

i think that the release of TLSP ,with all the buzz around Alex, will help the album to stay in the top75 a few more weeks

Posted by: Rooney Mar 16 2008, 09:38 PM

Yeah I think it will stay in the Top75 for a while too. I really wanna see an updated sales total for FWN too.
