I'd say 184,000 copies

 

Do pre-orders count towards the official on-sale release first week??

132,000 copies up to midnight thursday

 

According to today’s Official Charts Company sales data, nearly 132,000 copies of the track were purchased in the UK up to midnight last night. Roar currently has a lead of more then 95,000 copies on its closest competitor, Ellie Goulding’s Burn, which has been Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart for the last three weeks.
