I'm sure there is a more consise way of titling this thread..lol

anyway....

With Adele selling more on her second album, huge amounts, probably her third album wont do this, still sell a lot, but not like 21.

 

I was wondering which acts have sold more with each progressive album?, and how many albums before they peaked?.

(I mean where each album sold more than the previous one)

Umm, you put a more concise question in straight away....

 

 

my current thread on the top 200 albums of the noughties should give you a few names!

Thanks for the constructive info, appreciated. :)

 

Rihanna sold more with each album up to Rated R which sold much less than Good Girl Gone Bad. Struggling to think of any other examples besides indie artists that went mainstream for whatever reason.

Michael Buble possibly. He's seemed to become more and more popular with each era.

UK Certifications

 

Micheal Bublé: 2x Platinum + a Gold certified Deluxe Edition.

It's Time: 2x Platinum

Call Me Irresponsible: 3x Platinum + 2x Platinum Tour Edition

Crazy Love: 8x Platinum.

 

So there was perhaps a small sales dip between albums 1 and 2 but in general he has gotten bigger as he has gone along!

Paramore and 30 Seconds to Mars, both with a début that did next to nothing and a follow up that sold quite a lot eventually thanks to Kerrang, then a proper mainstream (by mainstream I mean Radio 1) breakthrough with their third. I'd back both to go platinum with their fourth albums and continue the sequence.

Looks like Joe McElderry should sell more of Classic than Wide Awake, though its not really best-selling but you get what I mean

Goldfrapp?

I'm pretty sure Kings of Leon's first four albums all outsold the previous.

Not sure about the first two, three and four definitely did.

 

EDIT: turns out "Youth and Young Manhood" is only certified Gold and "Aha Shake Heartbreak" is platinum. I assumed they were both on about 400k, and "Because of the Times" 800-ish.
