I was looking at the billboard top 200 albums and I didnt even see coldplay on it!

I'm not really sure...I think I remember my friend that works at Tower Records telling me that it was selling like crazy though.

These stats won't be released until monday or tuesday. It hasn't even been a full week yet and there is another thread on this already.

this is from one of the mods (Nickey) from the official board:

 

Congratulations to the boys. X & Y is number one in the album charts

 

It sold over 464,000 copies this week

 

Debs is out celebrating with them so i thought i'd let you all know.

 

and that's in the UK.

I expected a much larger total than 464,000. An impressive number, but I thought it was going to be well into the 600,000 range. The hype for this album has been unreal over the past few months.

mmmm, I don't think the hype was quite AS big as Be Here Now by Oasis.

Also, back in 1997 when Be Here Now was released there wasn't the huge amount of people who just download music. If you wanted it back then in decent quality then you had to buy the CD/Vinyl. (Recording a mates copy to tape was just crap)

Apparently the Future Shop here is selling a whole bunch of copies. My friend works there and she said she probably sold like a hundred the other day. :)
