Interesting to see their last album sold the least amount. I thought coast to coast sold about 2 million? maybe I am wrong

I have also read that too somewhere...

Coast to Coast has alone done about 8 million worldwide. The album was a major success in Asia, helped by their Mariah Carey duet and tour.

 

Also I think when the 40mil figure is said they refer to Singles & Album sales...

Oh if you are interested in Single Sales in the UK... this was published in April 2008 (I think) by Music Week... Martin may be able to confirm exact date....

Back Home has UK sales in access of 854,344 (figure published by Music Week, last week of Dec 2007).

Guiness book of hits says they average over 1mil for each album (up to end of 2005) and The love album did 891k in 2006, Back Home did 855k in 2007 (could've done bit more by now). So thats 9mil+. 10mil UK albums sounds plausible with other/catalogue sales added.

Singles above total 5,797,898 on a quick check ie. 5.8mil, so they should have done close to 16mil records

im almost certain...

 

that the Back Home album has sold more than 938,000 in the Uk alone...

 

because everytime sales were announced for it from music week i kept it in a table (i know sad...for research purposes lol) and added it up everytime it was published....and this was the last time i got any figure....938,000 and that was in Jan or Feb of this year....so its bound to be inching towards the million mark now...

 

also i also think the love album is either close to 1 million in Uk or at 1 million now in uk

 

 

all together a great success

interesting to see that their 3rd biggest selling single wasn't a no.1.

wouldn't be surprised if the last 2 albums have reached the mil. and yeah i think the 3rd biggest seller was in their earlier day, when they generally sold more singles (like lots of artists really).

Do they have a new album this year just in time for Xmas?

Really amazing sales there. I could well imagine both the Love Album and Back Home are on their way to a million by now

No they dont. The Back home album is their last until the autumn of 2009! They are on a years break from july 08 to 2009!

 

Yea i read that they love album has already passed the million mark...i remember that week when it was released against the beatles, oasis and U2 and sold a massive 215,000 in that week...loved it! lol

Yeah it was great when Love Album reached No.1 beating all those big names. :cheer:

Really? I didn't know that! Bit of an achievement. It's amazing they've kept such a large, loyal fanbase. Few bands of their type have their longevity- i mean Boyzone split up as Westlife started and are now having a big reunion and Westlife are still going! :lol:

WOAH! How on earth have they managed to become that successful? :blink:

Must be joke, right???? They've sold 1,5 mil of Coast to Coast in Asia to date, about the same amount in the UK...so where on Earth they've sold the rest 5 million, i wonder????
