Keep in mind Anouk had 3 days in advance, releasing her album on friday.
I just hope she kicks her off iTunes... That's just beautiful for the iTunes charts, worldwide @ #1.
I don't care if it reaches # 1 in Holland on the official charts.
Adele’s 21 appears to have met its match, with Lady GaGa’s Born This Way album outselling it by more than seven copies to one on its first day of release.
GaGa’s Interscope/Polydor album attracted 94,125 buyers at the start of this week while Adele’s XL album sold 12,748 copies, according to OCC data, making it extremely likely that Born This Way will top the UK artist albums chart this coming weekend.
If that happens it will be only the second week since 21’s release 18 weeks ago when the Adele album has not been number one. Up until now, only Foo Fighters’ Columbia-handled album Wasted Light has outsold 21, when it debuted at number one in April.
Sales of GaGa’s first album The Fame are up around 50% on the week as it moves 11-7, while she also has three of the 20 biggest-selling singles at this stage of the week, one fewer than she managed on last Sunday’s final chart but still an impressive tally given her new album is now out. Judas is currently holding at eight, The Edge Of Glory has dropped 13-6 and the new album’s title track drifts 18-16. Hair, which debuted at 13 on last Sunday’s chart, is now down in 41st place.
