Upon the release of the album, Our Version of Events debuted at number one on 19 February 2012 on the UK Albums Chart. During the first week of the release of her debut album, it sold 113,319 copies. This made the album the second fastest-selling album of 2012, coming in behind Lana Del Rey's first debut album, Born to Die.[67] It then became the best selling first week sales for a debut album by a British female solo artist since Susan Boyle released I Dreamed a Dream in 2009, which also debuted at number one with first week sales of 411,820 copies.[68] During the second week of the album, Our Version of Events dropped one place to number two after Adele's second album, 21 sold just over 1,000 more copies than Sandé.[69] By the album's third week, it pushed 21 off the top spot and returned to number one again for the second time.[70] On the fourth week in the chart, the album dropped to number three, after Bruce Springsteen's Wrecking Ball debuted at number one and the Military Wives's In My Dreams charted at number two. Despite the album on aim to chart[clarification needed] at number one on the Irish Album Chart, the album debuted at number two. Fifteen weeks after the album was first released, the album reclaimed the number one spot on sales of only 13,430 copies, the lowest sales for a number-one album since Ace of Base's Happy Nation sold 12,042 copies at number one in June 1994.[71] On 23 December 2012 the album reclaimed the number 1 spot yet again on sales of 178,000 besting the opening sales. By late December 2012, the album had sold 1.2 million copies in the UK alone. In April 2013, the Official Charts Company confirmed that Sandé had broken The Beatles' Please Please Me chart record of spending the most consecutive weeks in the UK's Official Albums Chart Top 10 of any debut album.[72] On 26 May 2013, the album dropped out of the Top 10 for the first time ever after spending 66 consecutive weeks in the top 10.[73]
As of 15 May 2013, the album has sold 155,000 copies in the US.[74]
