at Sam Bailey's album of her karaoking selling 73k. I thought UK had better taste than that. This is just absurd
It's mothers day today in the UK, most of those sales come from mothers day marketing (TV ads etc) i.e kids buying the albums for their mums. Plus Sam's been doing a lot of promo.
It's actually not that great though, UK album sales are at a huge low right now. It's been dreadful for the past few months.
Work bitch went top 10 (shocking I know) there and her album debuted outside of the top 30. Shakira's been around the same amount of time and still in the top 15
Britney Jean have higher sales i think I think Shaki just got lucky. If her album was released during tough period. She may not see the top 30
i think she'll have longevity. i remember alicia keys latest album debuting at #15 (even though TEOF went to #1) and it sold consistently enough to go gold
Could people stop with the mothers day excuse and praise the fact that Sam went to number 1 on the album chart. Remember when they said she wouldn't sell music cause shes 2 old ?

It's not an excuse though, her albums been promoted a lot under "mothers day albums" on TV etc.
I mean, good for her i'm glad she got the #1, I have her album myself.
But the numbers would have been less on a different week.
Well, she didn't promote it until last night and it's holding up in the iTunes top 10. I am pretty sure she will be constantly selling a good amount of copies per week.
