Posted May 8, 200916 yr Does anybody know the total sales of the current album to date? also, would be interested to know if its sold as much as beautiful world did within the same timeframe? I dont think they will have as much singles success with this album, so it could affect the overall final album sales for the circus.
May 8, 200916 yr Does anybody know the total sales of the current album to date? also, would be interested to know if its sold as much as beautiful world did within the same timeframe? I dont think they will have as much singles success with this album, so it could affect the overall final album sales for the circus. The Circus is approximately 1,740,000 so far. I think its on about par with Beautiful World at the same stage (BW probably a fraction in front). Beautiful World is over 2,500,000 now though - the limited edition de-luxe added a little to it but I think it sold mainly under its own 'original' steam. I assume there'll be some sort of limited edition de-luxe edition of The Circus which will probably even sales for both of them out. I hope Beautiful World keeps ahead though ... although I like The Circus - I don't think it is as good as BW. Norma
May 8, 200916 yr THE deluxe version of beautiful world counts for nearly 300,000 of beautiful worlds sales...i never thought the follow up to beautiful world would sell nearly aswell and in gneral a follow up to a huge album never does sell aswell,but the circus certainly has done brilliant as the follow up, also i think beautiful world got alot more hype as it was the huge comeback album,,,still the circus should sell 2 million + and if a clever deluxe version is released like beautiful world there is no reason it wont come near the total sales of beautiful world, the deluxe if released would do brilliant oif they could come up something as brilliant as the fabulous rule the world
May 9, 200916 yr I hope Beautiful World keeps ahead though ... although I like The Circus - I don't think it is as good as BW. Norma Me neither, Beautiful World is, in my opinion, their best and closest to perfect album to date. Every song on it is brilliant. I think The Circus has a few weak points towards the end although it's still a fantastic album.
May 10, 200916 yr i really loved beautiful world but i definitly prefer the circus as a package i think the circus is slightly stronger for me
May 10, 200916 yr I prefer also The Circus. It shows much more personality and the songs have a more challanging sound.
May 10, 200916 yr I agree it has more personality bt for me its a mor euplifting album than beautiful world and i also find it a little more consistant
May 19, 200916 yr IFPI (European sales) 2005 Never Forget Ultimate 1x platinum = 1.000.000 copies sold -- 2006: Beautiful World 3x platinum = 3.000.000 copies sold 2008: The Circus: 2x platinum = 2.000.000 copies sold WW estimations: Never Forget Ultimate: ~1.600.000 Beauriful world: ~3.500.000 The Circus: ~2.100.000 SINCE 2005 TT sold 7.2 million albums worldwide (estimated), most of the sales are coming from europe.
May 20, 200916 yr the ultimate collection has sold far more than 1 million in the uk alone im almost sure its very near 1.7 million for the uk alone
May 20, 200916 yr the ultimate collection has sold far more than 1 million in the uk alone im almost sure its very near 1.7 million for the uk alone You're right Pete - Ultimate Collection is over 1.7 mill in the UK alone. When I've had a sneaky look at MW in Wigan - it has the symbol for how many times platinum and it equates to over that amount. Norma
May 20, 200916 yr i was thinking i was right when i said about 1.7 million as im almost sure i read that im the music week report a few weeks back
