well this is Matts real test. if his album has a decent run and not plummet. Then, fair enough. But I think, he is only selling on the fact of the x-factor hype. after a few weeks, this album could be pretty low.

If noel got backed by radio1 Aka.. what a life would be a pretty big hit i think.

noel from #1 in the albums... I really think Matts song is pretty weak :s

album of the year!

TUNE! come on NOEL !

Noel Gallagher was on J. Ross last night.... He played AKA..What a life (Live). So im sure that has added a few sales ;)

great to see Noel Gallagher at #1 :)

yes I don't know why i said that... been a long day :) the lecture for economics killed my brain cells today.

what I was trying to say that even though Noel has huge first day sales.... Matt has not been able to close the gap on Noel. give it until end of saturday. Noel will be further ahead going by the trend

true! sorry about that. But Noel has pulled away from matt more than 40k now.

Coldplay's first week sales for all previous albums Parachutes 70,000 A rush of blood to the head 273,924 copies X&Y 464,471 Viva La Vida 302,074 they do have massive openings but I can't help but think this album will fall short of the last 3. Im thinking 250k max

can't see Coldplay's album doing as much as their previous albums. Probably 250k max (STILL good though)

also It seems to me that Matt was more front loaded his sales have tailed off way more than NOELs 1st day Noel V Matt 55,000 V 28,000 ( 27k difference) ----- 4th day Noel 94,000 v Matt 54,000 (40,000+ difference) ........... Do people think Matt can actually do 70k by the end ?

COME ON NOEL HE IS KILLING MATT so it's #1 NOEL 94k #2 Matt 54k I can see Noel doing 120k+ by end of week!

I don't think albums are expensive at all. Noels album is being sold at the top range of 9.99 and can be dowloaded for 3.99 at amazon.

interesting :), I was under the impression that most people on here thought. His Xfactor performance would easily give Matt a #1 album.

yeah well u are in the minority with me then.... Cause loads of people were thinking that MATT would easily walk it even on the Havenforum.co.uk they were saying the same... I kept saying Don't underestimate Noel Gallagher, he has a very very strong fan base. And look now he is outselling mat 2:1 :)

Absolutely, Noel will be front loaded with pre-orders and first day sales. But Im sure at worst he will do 100k. hoping he will do around 120k? Matt will be front loaded too, and i think at best he will be looking at maybe 80k max. lots of people like me bought the AKA.. What a life cd single from Noels website. I agree its shame they didn't release it all in the same week. As it would have had a much higher peak

Get in NOEL!!!! great sales :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

its very possible... he has physical sales to add to this so hopefully top40 this week along with a #1 album :)

Update 1.Noel Gallagher's high flying birds (Deluxe) :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :dance: 2.Lana Del Rey Video games (EP) 3.Noel Gallagher's high flying birds 4.Matt Cardle Letters (Deluxe) 5.Seps Ultimate Collection 13.Matt Cardle Letters come on Noel!

Noel Gallagher up to #2, #3...... Matt Cardle #4 and #14

If Matt mirrored that run, then... it would basically prove that wining x-factor is a load of rubbish really.

For an X Factor winner... and all the promo he has got so far. IT IS A MAJOR disappointment that his single couldn't even make the top5. Don't care what people say

Hopefully Noel Gallagher!
