^^ Well, it also contained 2 past singles...I think it's even more impressive if you think this way: they only needed 5 new songs to sell 183k albums.

 

And one was a cover. :D So only Missing You, Higher, Puppet and Karma (and I wouldn't be suprised if the latter two were recorded for Wordshaker).

Puppet and Karma were both recorded for their upcoming 4th album as Headlines wasn't going to happen untill the label wanted to do an EP to rake in some cash Wordshaker lost. I'm so glad Puppet and Karma were on Headlines because as much as I like them, the production is cheap.

Anyone got sales information on 'Notorious' this week? :)

Jay, any sales on headlines?

On 12th June, Headlines was #169 with 945 sales. It's not in the Top 200 for 19th June. :)

Headlines should be on around 186,000+

Does anyone know what Headlines! sold at #160 (w/e 23/4) and #164 (w/e 30/4)?

I wonder how long it'll be until they break the 3million sales barrier in the UK, if I've added correctly they are on 2,646,000+ right now. I imagine with notorious and atleast one more single (probably 2 more) this year plus the album itself they could do it before the years out?

I think they're on around 2,650,000+ Notorious should help it get to around 2,750,000.. They've always been selling in the background so i think 3million will happen around the 4th week of their new single.

Notorious

01. 29/05/11 - #08 - 30,273

02. 05/06/11 - #21 - 15,888

03. 12/06/11 - #33 - 10,992

04. 19/06/11 - #26 - 11,919

05. 26/06/11 - #21 - 17,138

 

Total: 86,210

I predict next week they should be on around 108,000 as I think they will sell around 22,000.

^ How precise! :P

On Wikipedia it says that Chasing Lights has sold over 400,000. I know wiki isn't always reliable but I could believe it because the last update we had was AGES ago, and plus with HMV having 2 for £10 offers and all that it might well have passed 400,000! Just wish we had updated sales figures.

Jay any Headlines sales?

Lew, Chasing Lights 400,000 is quite reliable as I know around 1 and a half year ago it was on like 330,000. £2 deals, 2for £10, Christmas sales. People buying it through Wordshaker & Headlines. I think 400,000 is a strong chance.

Yeah but it hasn't been back in the top 100 since late 2009, I can't see it being on 400K.

You'd be very surprised on how well some albums can sell without being in the Top 100!
