Yeah when it was in the 90's it did about 1k, then in the 50's about 7k which brings it to about 9k'ish. Yeah those figures were released a few days ago. It'll probabbly do another 8-12k this week if it stays around the #20 mark on iTunes.

That is really useful info. Thank you for posting. How much do you have to sell to get a silver album now 60k or 100k?

[KenSC305]

Number of albums sold has decreased in the UK for certification?

Silver is 60k, Gold is 100k, and Platinum is 300k.

From last weeks album chart:

+ Chasing Lights 147
+ Wordshaker 151

About the 5th or 4th week in a row Chasing Lights has beaten Wordshaker.

The thing is if everyone who is purchasing Chasing Lights bougt Wordshaker instead they would probably be Silver by now

in the usa platinum is 1 million records.

Any idea on current sales to date for Wordshaker. Around 45k I guess

I got this from the official forum:

Ego

Week Date Position Sales
1 29 Nov 96 2515
2 6 Dec 52 5403
3 13 Dec 35 9041
4 20 Dec 30 12382
5 27 Dec 20 15618

Total sales: 44,959

I can't believe Chasing Lights is not only outselling the new album but it's sales keep growing as well! 311,030 to date.
