Couldn't tell you about it's sales though, but I know it was certified for 100,000 copies not long after it's release! Although strangely enough "One Touch" is still their best-selling album in Germany, sold something crazy like 300,000!!!!!!! :o
June 7, 200619 yr I didn't know they were big in Germany :wacko: 300,000 for One Touch is brilliant! :o

None from this list were big hits in the UK. (Or certainly not big enough to trouble the end-of-year charts last year.)
June 30, 200619 yr Author Just realised that TIMW would have been in the top 100 overall albums in Germany as the UK albums hold 1/5th of the sales And top 20 for Sugababes, that would be at least top 100 Not up on the sales though unfortunately
