That's crazy. I'll believe it when the official #'s come in.

300,000 = 1x plat in the UK
650,000/300,000 = 2.1

so basically 2x platinum in the states, or to be exact, 2,167,000

but they'll be lucky with anything over 200k. Get Lucky is currently a sleeper hit in America unlike in Europe right now.

Where it's a full-blown smash hit? Especially in the UK? Four weeks at #1 and counting.

650k in the UK would be equivalent to what in the U.S.?

a little under 5.5m. Its a 9:1 Ratio if I remember correctly.

Platinum = 300k (UK) vs. 1m (US) - 3.3x
Population = 63m (UK) vs. 315m (US) - 5.0x

OMG. Go on with your bad selves, Daft Punk.

Yeh same.

Not saying this won't happen but I just doubt it.

Most people who know the UK charts well predicted this to land in the region of 120-200k.

Obviously this release is a wild card because of the HUGE single (basically guaranteed year end #1 already), the long awaited return and the snowballing hype machine but I still don't really think 650k is on the cards.

The duo's new record Random Access Memories is now odds-on with bookmakers Paddy Power to break the first-week sales figures of current record holders Oasis.

I would like more official source.
There is no way they could break that record in current sales climate. If they will be able to sell 200+K that would be great for UK in non holiday season.

You don't think Columbia have paid big money for all the good press they've been getting? Critics panned Human After All and it sold hardly anything and that was their comeback after Discovery.

This tbh. I think Columbia has something to do with all of this.

It's possible. I don't why it isn't. If Adele can sell 26 Million albums now, Daft Punk can debut with those numbers.

[Tricky]

Great!
It's about time someone would break those old records.

Where are you from?

For God's sake they are french artists, yes they will debut with great numbers.

But it is not comparable with - Be here now, It was at that time the most anticipated british album ever, it was after the gigantic success of (What's the story) Monrning Glory. And CD sales were on his high.

Owe it to "Get Lucky" for being such a damn good song.
