I got it wrong last week when I said those high flying Take That guys would break all records.

 

But the Circus Monday sales was 21k above the average daily sales last week, or a third higher, and we are getting nearer to Christmas.

 

Could this be record breaking second week sales for an album?

I expect it to sell between 250k - 350k this week, probably about 290k.

I think it may slow down quite a bit and then pick up just before Christmas (like all sales will). I think it'll end up taking as long to reach a million as Coldplay's latest did ... and that started with a bang!

didnt beautiful world sell over 400,000 in either its 2nd or third week by take that??

 

I think it was actually the Christmas week that they did the big sales ... then they had a big surge for some reason a few months later.

Thanks for your replies!

 

Well, pessimists! I fully expect it to sell over half a million this week!

 

If not, next Monday I will have to create another thread predicting the third weeks best album sales!

 

 

The sales for the first 5 weeks on sale for 'Beautiful World' were -

 

09 Dec 168,954 Take That – Beautiful World

16 Dec 199,185 Take That – Beautiful World

23 Dec 229,001 Take That – Beautiful World

30 Dec 443,070 Take That – Beautiful World

06 Jan 104,302 Take That – Beautiful World

 

So based on the fact that BW after 5 weeks on sale shifted 1,214,521 copies I think 'The Circus' will easily match or surpass that figure - And judging by the 83,000+ copies sold already this week it looks like it will be selling 300,000+ by Sunday :dance:

Thanks for those figures ... I started to search for each week's sales for BW in the Library but gave up after a few pages! So each week's sales got even better after the first week - good going!

Largest second week sales?

 

Well recently these are the largest second week totals:

 

Eminem Curtain Call 241,000

Coldplay X & Y 239,000

Hear’Say Popstars 202,000

 

Possibly Oasis hold the record overall though?

TT probably will sell + 300K considering they've sold 83k by tuesday update.
