Take That Beat Coldplay, Sell 133,000 Copies Of New Album In A Day !! Gigwise.com 2.12.2008
Take That's 'The Circus' will almost certainly top the UK album charts on Sunday (December 7th) after posting record breaking opening day sales.
The album sold 132,985 copies yesterday, nearly 8,000 copies more than the previous the biggest first day sale of the year, Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends'.
'The Circus' is Take That's second studio album since they announced their reformation in 2005.
Despite fears that sales would be affected by the collapse of distributor EUK, the album is outselling the current number one, The Killers' 'Day & Age', by four copies to one.
It is also beating Britney Spears new album, 'Circus', which looks set to scoop a top three place when the chart is published on Sunday evening.
Midweek figures, published by Music Week, also suggest that Guns N' Roses 'Chinese Democracy' will drop out of the top five this week.
As previously reported on Gigwise, record bosses are understood to have blamed the album's bad sales on the lack of promotion by frontman Axl Rose.
