November 10, 20213 yr Where is Spiceworld??Its highest weekly sale was 191,856 (w/e 15/11/97) http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s...34288&st=20 with its second highest weekly sale being 186,000 on the chart dated 27/12/97.
November 11, 20213 yr Finally............ Hold your horses. Not there yet. 190.2k today. :o Edited November 12, 20213 yr by cider man
November 11, 20213 yr Really impressive for Adele 25 to have 3 entries in the top 10 for the album! And also that the top 2 are from the past ten years! Oasis at 3 after only three days on sale wasnt it? Yeah, brought forward due to concerns about imports - 424k first day sales. Was also the most sold album to second hand record stores in 1999. To this day you can almost guarantee seeing it in a charity shop Edited November 11, 20213 yr by chartfridays
November 12, 20213 yr I do wonder if Adele's record could ever be broken between the decline of physical sales and the move towards streaming it seems totally impossible now. Would certainly take one hell of an artist to manage it.
November 12, 20213 yr I do wonder if Adele's record could ever be broken between the decline of physical sales and the move towards streaming it seems totally impossible now. Would certainly take one hell of an artist to manage it. I mean people were thinking that for the records before Adele completely blew up in 2011/2012 and with 25 in 2015. I don't think anyone was expecting pure sales diamond allbums in the US to ever happen again until Adele then did it with 21 and 25*. *Technically hasn't crossed 10 million yet, it's around 9.6 million but I assume it'll get there during 30's album campaign. We could see the records broke again, but it might be a while before an artist appears that's capable of that. And it's a bigger uphill battle now with streaming becoming so dominant.

A quick fag packet calculation suggests you'd need 1,200,460,500 streams in a single week to match Adele's sale target if physicals completed disappeared tomorrow, which seems rather underweighted to say the least when we consider 1,000,000 daily streams a massive achievement. Without some recalibration it seems short of the great CD revival it's unlikely to happen. Edited November 12, 20213 yr by chartfridays
December 31, 20213 yr Great thread. I noticed this figure. 80 14/12/1991 Stars Simply Red 250000 Is this figure correct? It wasn't no 1 that week, and whilst album sales in 1991 were amazing at times I find it hard to believe it sold that much when it was only #3 that week.
December 31, 20213 yr So Susan Boyle sold really well for 4 weeks (?) and then just dropped. Didn’t she sell less than 2 million overall?
January 1, 20223 yr I mean, it's not as if SuBoy's albums had any legs in the sense that they had single campaigns.
January 1, 20223 yr Author Great thread. I noticed this figure. 80 14/12/1991 Stars Simply Red 250000 Is this figure correct? It wasn't no 1 that week, and whilst album sales in 1991 were amazing at times I find it hard to believe it sold that much when it was only #3 that week. No you're right it "Shipped" 250k that week not sold it. I'll remove it from the list- thanks for picking it up :D
January 1, 20223 yr Where is Spiceworld?? Never achieved it, it’s highest weekly sales we’re just under 192,000 copies. While there is no denying Spiceworld was a huge album with over 1.6 million, in hindsight I am surprised at how much they dropped in album sales during that era compared to Spice.
