Great for Gaga. So with 94k, are we looking at first week sales of around 240k?! Given the sources are correct?

 

My prediction not too far off then!

Flop, right? :P

The 94k will include a LOT of pre-orders, but she should still pass 200k comfortably. Excellent to see.

I think a bit more than 240k. TT sold 235k in two days and went on to sell 523 (45% of their total in two days). If Lady Gaga sold 240k then 39% of her total would have been first day, which seems a bit high, and I think Progress was a much more frontloaded release than Born This Way.

Yeah i reckon my original prediction of 210k will be about the minimum now. She has done really well.

What was The Fame's opening sales first week, and biggest sales week in its chart run?

Also anyone know the total? :)

94k :o I say 200k plus, it might just trail a bit at the end of the week.

I think it could fall a bit during the week, but it will have weekend sales on Saturday.

UK Midweeks - w/c 24/05/2011

Adele’s 21 appears to have met its match, with Lady GaGa’s Born This Way album outselling it by more than seven copies to one on its first day of release.

 

GaGa’s Interscope/Polydor album attracted 94,125 buyers at the start of this week while Adele’s XL album sold 12,748 copies, according to OCC data, making it extremely likely that Born This Way will top the UK artist albums chart this coming weekend.

 

If that happens it will be only the second week since 21’s release 18 weeks ago when the Adele album has not been number one. Up until now, only Foo Fighters’ Columbia-handled album Wasted Light has outsold 21, when it debuted at number one in April.

 

Sales of GaGa’s first album The Fame are up around 50% on the week as it moves 11-7, while she also has three of the 20 biggest-selling singles at this stage of the week, one fewer than she managed on last Sunday’s final chart but still an impressive tally given her new album is now out. Judas is currently holding at eight, The Edge Of Glory has dropped 13-6 and the new album’s title track drifts 18-16. Hair, which debuted at 13 on last Sunday’s chart, is now down in 41st place.

 

Summary

 

Singles

8 Lady GaGa - Judas

13 Lady GaGa - The Edge Of Glory

16 Lady GaGa - Born This Way

 

Albums

1 Lady GaGa - Born This Way 94,125

2 Adele - 21 12,748

7 Lady GaGa - The Fame

 

Top 5 for The Saturdays - nice. They'll fall a little but top ten when it hadn't even been heard last week is definitely an achievement.

 

Interested to see where Caro Emerald is in the albums...

The Fame was only number three in its first week. It took 12 weeks to get to number one.

Right... at the moment all the chart and sales info we have is ripped out from the mid report on page 1, nothing else from MW, me or a chart mod will post the rest when available, in the meantime just hum or do a raindance, and they might just turn up
