These were Florence's sales the last time the full Soundscan list leaked, which was at the end of November/beginning of December:
83 florence + the machine lungs 15,678 0 15,744 260,181
Her sales have increased within the last few weeks, so she should be at 300k+.

I disappointed that she mostly got ignored at the Grammys. All that great music and only a single nominations for Best New Artist? The recognition really could helped her sales. Hopefully, they'll at least let her perform, which should bring some renewed attention to the album.
this era has been amazing for her
