De Niro, you contradict yourself then. How could they sell 40 mil if since 2003 its about 2 million worldwide average per album? 2x7=14 million. Does it mean WL have sold the rest 25 million in 3 years?(2000-2003) :rofl: Oh, God.. Their management as pathetic as they're. Why would inflate their sales so much?Does Simon have an inferiority complex or something?

Ok, Wl do have more number one singles, bu who cares? Its not an absolute record in the Uk and they're hardly better than Abba or Madonna or Rolling Stones, you know. Their number ones were nothing more than Simon Cowell's wit and their manipulations with release dates. Sadly, Westlife have always been about strategy.And people feel something FAKE about them. Maybe thats why they're so much hated??What do you think,Charis? As for sales, there's just no way on earth they've sold more records worldwide! That's Take Thats territory. 110 mil (combined), baby. You just can't compete with this ))) By the way, Take That were absolutely PHENOMENAL last night. Howard KILLED it with Never Forget. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: at all those Pestlife fans. Jealous much? Phenomenal sales for Take That regardless whether they could beat Oasis or not.Who would have thought it 5 years ago? They became one of the biggest bands EVER.

I predict +600k for the opening week. It wont break Oasis record( 800k in 7 days) sadly. However it might be close.

That's too low for Robbie and TT album, don't you think?And,mind you,i don't only mean the hype surrounding them at the moment, i mean the album itself is absolutely brilliant to sell as much as Beautiful World( or even more)

Ain't gonna happen. Progress will do just as good as 2 previous albums if no better. The Circus- 2,1 million Beautiful World- 2,7 million I for one do believe Progress sales will be close to 3 million.

19 Uk number ones- 2 Garys, 6Robbies and 11 TTs.

What about Westlifes 45 million? :rofl:

OMG, look at all those Oasis fans popping into this thread :lol:

On its first day?

Imagine if that's true.. OMFG

Westlife also have had more number ones than George Michael and Elton and Madonna in the Uk. :lol:Chart positions are just numbers. Thanks to Simon Cowell, he really knows well when grannies are ready to spend their money on presents for their friends.

People who follow chart statistics for years know that those figures exaggerated by their management to rise their profile.Of course this is no true. They haven't sold 40 mil let alone 45mil. Pathetic ,don't they?

This is exactly what i meant!!!!!!! If TT performed last week, they'd have their 12 number one in the bag...Oh,well.

TT outshined everyone else tonight. brilliant!

JLS's song is SO horrible. It doesn't deserve to be number one at all. It will be though.

Should break The Circus first week sales then.

First of all,The Flood felt then went up again as far as i am aware. Secondary,only time will tell whether it's going to have a "dire" chart run or not. Me personally think the song is fantastic enough to stick around for quite some time.

Well,sales will be high anyway..It's like Rule The World part 2 all over again.And yes, i think it's still unprecedented considering there was NO promo at all for the single. TT Itunes Takeover advert everyone's talking about was for the ALBUM not for the single. If only they were on X factor last week, it would DEFINITELY go straight to number one. Oh well, the album will be MASSIVE instead.

That's what i was going to say. Both Wstlife and Jls will benefit from TT being on the same show as ratings will be absolutely unprecedented because of Take That.

Greatest Day, Patience, Shine have sold just about the same amount first week, they were just lucky to go to number one unlike The Flood,so nothing new here, but Beautiful World, The Circus were still massive sellers. I am confident Progress will be bigger. Take That will smash it with their album.

The preview doesn't do any justice to the full songs. Progress is way better than The Circus and Beautuful World, imho. I am very pleased with the result.

I think those who think JLS definitely have in the bag might be very surprised next week if Jls suddenly do a mcfly or spice girls and flop big time with their CIN single. The song is so dreadful.It certainly doesn't deserve to be number one at all.

Yes, i do too.The Circus album has sold 432k in its first week.This album will be even bigger. Well, at least it looks like it will be absolutely massive. The album is mindblowing. I predict- 550k for TT for the first week Westlife- 105k for the first week Jls- 160k for the first week

Take That will certanly have the last laugh at all those desperate has-been boybands who are not able to sell out tours on their own. New Kids, Backstreet Boys anyone? :lol: But jokes aside, this is a UK chart thread,ok? We don't care about their ww saleas as of yet.
