you can add the 300K of the UK from the first 3 days... and its like wow.

like 3 years I'm checking this chart and I never saw numbers like this. I saw 1.2 I think but 1.6 its like the best ever... serious. and if we had the more 300K they sold like 2 million copies in 10-12 days...

Unbelievable.

I really wish they released the album regular time in the UK. Imagine what those numbers would've been!

 

But hey...they only proved that they ARE the greatest band in the world!

X & Y sold 27,000 copies this week worldwide, according to mediatraffic.

Wow...

Assez épatant !! In France the record dealers put posters of promotion everywhere !

gah, that's a lot. :dance:

yeah ive been using that mediatraffic site for quite few years now also and very few albums have had sales of over a million in their first week. especially since file sharing programs have hit the internet. i believe chili peppers stadium arcadium was not far off as they went to number one in 29 countries in their first week i woodnt be surprised is CP top the charts in just as many.

 

do people think that VLV will beat rush of blood in terms of worldwide sales i think it had about 13 million or so which will most probably go past 15 million this year.

Nah I don't think it will pass AROBTTH, but I think it can match X & Y's worldwide sales.

:o Wow! Go Coldplay! :dance:

:D:kiss::kiss::kiss::kiss:Way to go, boys!!!

It must be the first time listeners to Coldplay, deciding to download X and Y or something

Plus Best Buy probably along with some other big chain retailers sold all Coldplay's CDs for like 8$ last week, so that caused a spike too.

awesome! and well deserved :cool:
