Bowie heading for fastest-selling album of 2013 in UK
Bowie heading for fastest-selling album of 2013
David Bowie’s much anticipated new album, The Next Day, is heading for the title of 2013’s fastest selling album to date, and is currently outselling the rest of the Top 5 combined!
David Bowie looks set to score the fastest selling album of 2013 with The Next Day, according to the latest Official Charts Company sales data.
The singer’s 27th studio album, and first new material in nearly a decade, is not only leading the race to Number 1, but is also outselling the rest of the Top 5 combined as it does so.
After just two days on sale, The Next Day’s sales tally of 66,000 as of midnight last night already puts Bowie just 5,600 copies behind current fastest sellers of the year Biffy Clyro, whose album Opposites sold 71,600 copies during its first full week on sale back in January.
The Next Day is also outselling the Number 2 album, Bon Jovi’s What About Now, by nearly three copies to one, and the rest of this week's Top 5 combined at this mid-way stage. If the music legend holds on until Sunday, it will mark Bowie’s first chart topper in 20 years.
