I'm not sure album sales will be that big this week. I think albums only *really* do well in the weeks leading up to Christmas (people buying them as presents) and then there's always a plummet in sales the week after. For example I remember 'Loud' was selling more at #2 in the weeks up to Xmas than it did when it got to #1 the week after. Maybe i'm wrong, though.

And Seanopop - 300K (platinum) is the "safe" mark for albums. Failing to reach that is usually a "flop"/underperformance depending on the artist.

Thank you again.

That figure just emphasises how badly OYR has flopped, it sucks 'cos it's such a great record. Hopefully AFU re-entering the top 100 will boost the sales of the album a little.

I'm not kidding myself that it's gonna make any difference though ;)

Sales as of this week are ~ 192.5K :D So I think 194K seems hopeful by the end of this week. :)

Has it really sold that much out-side the Top 100? :blink: I'd say 200k is definitely achievable in the next two weeks then :dance:

200k is safe ground for The Saturdays. It's funny because although some people worship Notorious, when other people see that it's only sold 180k they go "flop". With 'All Fired Up' i've always found it the other way round; That people aren't that fond of it, but when they see it's sold over 200k they'll go "They did well with that". :lol:

Album sales are awful. The past 2-3 for any artist trying to break the market has been difficult. If The Saturdays had released Chasing Lights just a year later they would have been dropped. They where very lucky to get their 'break'.

Well its official total was 184,979 on 4th December. It depends how much it sold on 11th, 18th and 25th, at the positions #184, #166 and #108 respectively. It's definitely not as much as 7.5k, for sure.

I think Vidcapper has over-estimated the total somewhere along the way. He gave an estimation of 188k after the 11th Dec chart. Selling 3k at #184 doesn't happen. :lol: Then his estimation after the 18th Dec chart was 189.5k - i.e. 1.5k sales at #166.

I'd shave off at least 2k of that 192.5k off, so I'd say its current total is around 190.5k. :)

I see, so even after this week they will still be just under? That's not a problem. I think 200k is inevitable eventually, especially with the next single release, people will go back to download AFU and get it the extra couple of sales it'll need.

Thanks for that Jay! :)

I thought there may have been an over-estimation. 10-15k out-side the Top 100 does look a bit steep looking at again now. :blink:

190k give or take then :)
