they must be quite good

i think they are over 500,000

wow

that's huge :o

im still amazed by their album sales as combined the ultimate colelction and beaitiful world have sold over 4 million in the uk alone

Im still getting over how successful there whole comeback has been - I mean since 2005/6

ya it really has been huge in every aspect as they tours the albums and the singles hav ebeen huge,,the press is 100% positive they have gained a whole new audience as well as the audience they had and they are so in demand

And people actually respect them unlike they do with most boybands - like westlife for example yes they are popular but they do get teased alot

 

TT never do

ya they are alot more respected now than they ever were and get more respect than any boyband,,i would have hated their comeback to have ended up like boyzones and end up lame

IN ireland this week

 

the circus makes a number 3 debut with britney spears number 2 :( and leona holding number 1

 

greatest day climbs 3 places to number 3

#10 YTD chart !

it will easily pass a million by year end

it will easily pass a million by year end

 

I think we'll have a better idea of that by the mid-weeks - but I really have a bad feeling that their journey to the million mark is going to be as slow as Coldplay's was! Don't tell Locott that though - he already thinks I'm a harbinger of doom and gloom! I can't help it .... I'm a Capricorn ... we're notoriously miserable!

LOl, Norma! This time i have to agree with you though. I for one thought they could at least beat Coldplay and become the 2nd bestselling band of all time but it never happened. Mind you, those sales figures still look tremendous but i still slightly gutted.

Besides, it looks like yesterday's show hasn't had an impact yet..not on Itunes as Greatest Day is only at 3d place at the moment.

It would be comforting to think that the 'stock' problem earlier last week may have affected the sales but I doubt that would account for more than 25,000 so they still wouldn't have snuck up in second place behind Oasis for that record! :( Would have been nice ... two north-west, working class bands in 1st and 2nd! But it wasn't to be. I'm so disappointed with the impact of the show last night (or lack of it) on iTunes. Especially as Britney 'Mimes 'R Us' Spears will move in front of them by tomorrow after Harry Hill is seen in his (rather fetching I must admit) blond wig in the repeat of his show tonight!

 

We can take consolation in that The Circus beats Circus hands-down ... but I do fear for that '1,000,000 by Christmas' hope!

 

Norma

yes it would have nice for the album to be top 2 but they have done in credibly well and the album looks set to be a huge seller again this week after this week it has 2 more weeks left of sales and im sure it will pass the million mark by year end
