October 10, 2025Oct 10 I'm guessing the week of 30/12/2000 is the biggest sales week that the albums chart has ever seen.

October 10, 2025Oct 10 Author Actually as Adele didn't put her album (25) on streaming until well after it would have affected the weeks over 200k, the only ones it would affect are Ed Sheeran ,Coldplay, and Taylor.2 16/03/2017 Divide Ed Sheeran 671,542 would get reduced to 592,59812 16/10/2025 The Life Of A Showgirl Taylor Swift 423,444 gets reduced to 339,37548 23/03/2017 Divide Ed Sheeran 303,520 gets reduced to 345,24069 02/05/2024 Tortured Poets Department Taylor Swift 270,091 gets reduced to 191,18476 02/12/2021 30 Adele 261,856- no breakdown of sales given on this week102 17/10/2024 Moon Music Coldplay 236,796 reduced to 230,151105 17/12/2015 A Head Full Of Dreams Coldplay 235,975 is reduced to 234,116156 30/03/2017 Divide Ed Sheeran 206,411 reduced to 165,246157 03/11/2022 Midnights Taylor Swift 204,501 reduced to 146,537158 18/11/2021 Voyage ABBA 203,909 no breakdown given
October 10, 2025Oct 10 Pretty sure Westlife also hold the record for the highest weekly sales for a single that never made #1 too!

It's like the 750k for band aid and Wham's "last Christmas" 500k which is still quoted now but we now know are shipment figures.Source: record mirror 17/11/84.This is what Alan Jones said today.It also surpasses anything in the era (1983-1994) of previous chart compilers Gallup – Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s debut album Welcome To The Pleasuredome shipped 1.1m copies ahead of its 1984 release (700,000 vinyl, 400,000 cassettes) but dealer anticipation far outstripped actual demand, with only 180,000 sales being realised across the two formats on debut.
October 11, 2025Oct 11 ABBA definitely was available to stream!Nothing is getting onto this list without shifting a lot of pure sales, the realistic ceiling for streaming sales in a week seems to be well under 100k barring any changes in how it's calculated.
October 11, 2025Oct 11 Will be interesting to see if any ever does over 100k streaming sales especially with Taylor just setting the record of 84k
