I've checked a few sites to get an idea of how things might go. I've either taken the info from a Pre-Release/Order Chart or extracted the albums from the sites main charts:

 

Amazon:

 

1 Now 65

2 Westlife

3 Beatles

4 Take That

5 Now Xmas

6 Oasis

7 Il Divo

8 U2

 

Play:

 

1 Oasis

2 Westlife

3 U2

4 Beatles

5 Take That

(Now 65 is top in separate compiliation chart)

 

HMV:

 

1 Oasis

2 Westlife

3 Take That

4 Now 65

5 Beatles

6 U2

 

CD-Wow:

 

1 Westlife

2 Now 65

3 Oasis

4 U2

5 Beatles

 

So based on those charts it looks like the battle is between Oasis & Westlife.

 

Alot of the time these sites are way off. Westlife are usually very high. I remember their single, Amazing was #1 on loads of sites but only made #4 in the chart ^_^

 

WESTLIFE ARE FIRST IF WE SEE AL THE PRE-ORDERS.

Westlife cant have sold 40million albums, surely?

I agree Those sites don't really reflect the trend of sales for some reason.

 

Plus

 

they don't really make a big % of the sales chart.

I agree, especially when it's the acts own manager :rolleyes:

 

 

On the Xfactor it was said they had sold 36 million records (singles + albums) but that is still about 10 million to high -_-

 

I cannot wait for the mid week :dance: I have bought all 3 albums, but cannot get over how brilliant 'Love' is :wub:

char1sma do you have a "random $h!te generator"? I'm guessing thats how you decide what to post!

Well it looks as if Charis could well be right.... :(

I am a Westlife fan.

 

:puke2: :puke2:

someone's FINALLY admitted it in public! Apart from charis, of course, but he's a mentalist.

 

Can we ask.... why? What's the appeal?

 

Quite brave of you to admit this appalling affliction you have, though... "My name is Chris (we HAVE to drop the 'cool' bit now) and I am a Westlife fan".... amazing....

Dunno,only became a fan about a year ago really when I picked up Face To Face for £2.99 and their other albums cheap.Why call Charis a "mentalist" just for liking them? I also like Oasis,U2,Beatles and have a very elclectic taste.Have 600 CD albums,all genres,all eras,most artists.

1.The Beatles

2.Oasis

3.U2

4.Westlife

According to NME,Westlife are now 14k ahead!
