Posted December 9, 200816 yr 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?
December 9, 200816 yr 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! Norma
December 9, 200816 yr didnt beautiful world sell over 400,000 in either its 2nd or third week by take that??

December 10, 200816 yr Author 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!
December 10, 200816 yr 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:

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! Norma
December 11, 200816 yr 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?
