Posted May 27, 200718 yr Does anyone know the exact (or near enough) amount Beautiful World has sold in the UK........hope it can reach 2 mill by christmas
June 27, 200718 yr According to the Music Week Sales post on the Chart Chat of this site, it has sold 1,703,662 copies so far. They said it probably contributed to the poor showing of IWFL in the charts because so many people already have the album. I'd say it'll hit 2 million by the time of the tour.

June 27, 200718 yr i think the album will hit the 2 million mark by the end of the year I'm still really hacked off at the single position though. I mean 17 is absolutely fabulous when you consider they've had practically nil airplay - imagine if they'd have had some - they'd probably have entered top ten. As it is I think its going to drop right out of the top 40 come Sunday. Shame - because even if people don't like the song - you've got to admit that the video is pretty classy. Kathy
June 27, 200718 yr i was sure the fan base alone woul dget them top 10 it would have made number 5 if the chart was cd sales only
June 27, 200718 yr i was sure the fan base alone woul dget them top 10 it would have made number 5 if the chart was cd sales only To be honest - I'm not all in favour of just a band's fanbase getting them into a high position, its a false reflection of a song's popularity. Still - really looking forward to Sunday and the Diana concert. If acts get to sing up to three songs I'm hoping TT will do Shine, Patience and BFG. I think it would be a bad idea for them to sing IWFL - it would just look like an attempt to save it and I think its best left well alone now, and put this one down to experience. I'm sure its failure to hit the top 20 hasn't bothered the boys or I'm sure they would have come out and done some last-minute publicity - I'm happy that they're so relaxed about it now and don't feel the pressure to be pushed around.
