• With 52,000 copies sold, "1000 Forms of Fear" is the lowest selling #1 album since August 2012, when Zac Brown Band's "Uncaged" led the list with 48,000..

• Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending July 13) totaled 4.05 million units, down 5 percent compared with the sum last week (4.25 million) and down 19 percent compared with the comparable sales week of 2013 (4.98 million).

To compare, a year ago at this point, there were 21 weeks where sales were above 5 million.

 

05 02 Frozen Soundtrack - 46,000 (3,117,000)

 

This album needs to die already

Frozen still 2 :wub: and happy Sia got 1

So happy for her, insane!

Sia's album is really rather special, very chuffed she somehow got herself a US #1. Shame on UK.

So happy for Sia! Definitely her worst (more like 'least good' to be fair) album, but she deserves all the success!

Yay! :cheer: Sia at number one! :wub:

 

I do agree that Frozen needed to piss off now.

 

lots of sales info this week.

 

 

Lana sold 6,000 of her three year old album last week while only selling 18,000 of her month old follow-up :blink:. The former will overtake the latter in no time unless she can somehow get some single success or bothers doing some promotion.

We've been busy ^_^

 

The album sales thing is interesting, very reminiscent of what's happening in the UK right now. The comparisons to last year are always interesting also, that statistic is even more damning than the comparison of albums to have crossed 500k by this point.
