Has any debut ever reached 6 million in 4 week?

 

I vaguely remember 50 Cent's debut album doing well. Can't remember what it's four week total was.

Collosal sales for Susan Boyle in such a short time. Wonder if she will hve more success or be a oned album wonder.

 

Not many UK artists in that chart.

Yes..I remember a time when UK acts dominated the charts world wide. I wonder what happened?.

I also remember when Rock was king, now there are only 6 rock acts(I think) in the top 30. I suppose music has it's cycles,like everything else.
