some people have asked in the past how many copies certain
albums have sold. or perhaps it was just me! anyway...

nighmares on wax - smokers delight 60,000 (UK)

sigur ros - ( ) - 7,000 (UK) (1st week)

it is always interesting to compare. Little indie rock
bands are lucking to push a few thousand units, and M&M
moves 100,000 a week for months at a time.

I'd like more data if you get it though, very interesting.

last week

total no. of album sold in UK - 2,291,522

Blue (no. 1) - 117,500
U2 (no. 2) - 95,000

no. 1 singles - westlife - 90,000

singles now account for only 10% of the total market in the
UK. i thought kiddies pocket money was going up aswell.

Yeah, I've been wanting to see some sales stats on ''IDM''
albums for a while. Autechre, in particular... Confield...

i think that number is pretty unlikely. even for worldwide
sales, that's amazingly high for such an artist i think. if
he sold 100 000 drukqs worldwide, that would be insane
success imo.

If drukqs sold 300,000 it would have been number one in the
album charts for 3 or 4 weeks (took about 80,000 average in
2001). It entered at number 22 and then 74 next week and
then left the chart (I only have archives of top 75 album
charts). this equates to estimated scanned sales of roughly
2000-3000 through chart return shops. Which equates to an
estimated 6-7000 actual sales for those 2 weeks. Which is
pretty good for a warp artist in UK.

Also it means you're out by a factor of 46.2.
