NEW 5 WE DON'T NEED TO WHISPER ANGELS & AIRWAVES 12,504
NEW 6 FUNDAMENTAL PET SHOP BOYS 12,503
2 7 BROKEN BOY SOLDIERS RACONTEURS 9,046

Number 6 and looks pretty safe there, although as always PSB sales can sometimes dip on the weekend. I'm with stupid didn't fall much though so I'm hopeful the album wont.

those figures are pretty poor, just goes to show that reviews often don't have that much bearing on sales. Didn't Release do about 20,000 first week

Would I be making myself unpopular if I were to suggest that I might be popping out for The Raconteurs album on Saturday?

12,000 in one day is fantastic! You are being a bit unfair there, Mister. Even 12,000 over 2 days would have been great.
Am i the only one to notice that it's only ONE copy behind number 5!

That also means that after Tuesday it has most likely surpassed Nightbird's total sales in the UK so far. Union Street was left behind at about 10 am on Monday.

Thought so, too. 12k in one day would be nearly impossible...

What we need now from EMI is a couple of big adverts right in the middle of something like Coronation Street.

I didn't think they'd be up on the Racontuers' sales. But who the f*** is buying the Angels & Airwaves album?
Do you think last night's programme will encourage sales for the latter part of the week?

Have there been any TV ads yet?
