I forgot to mention that A Sky Full Of Stars debuted at #15 in the UK which is great. The song will be officially released on June 30th in the UK. Hopefully we'll get new remixes, an acoustic version and the video.

That would be delicious. A Sky Full of Stars EP + a video on June 30th is a possibility!

Ghost Stories has been certified GOLD (100K) in Germany. Amazing!

First seven to debut at number one.

Can't believe it, they look set to match the Beatles #1 UK album record with their next album. And if the album after that is successful, they'll surpass the record. Wow. Keane has a 100% record as well, for 4/4 albums debuting at #1 in the UK.

 

Actually Keane's record is 5/5 because the Night Train EP is also counted

Yes Keane also has a perfect record.

Ghost Stories debuted at #1 in Germany and in Russia.

I will update the OP next Wednesday when we get all the first week sales and numbers.

Right, I didn't know if I should have included Night Train or not. Thanks!

Ghost Stories debuted at #7 in Japan (over 20K), #1 in Switzerland and #1 in France (over 51K)

Coldplayzone has reported that Ghost Stories has sold over 1.2M copies worldwide.

They are a reliable source but Im not going to use this number because the websites I use for informations will update the charts every week while Coldplayzone doesn't.

I believe this number is real though.

How does 1.2 million compare with this stage of release for their previous albums?

Not sure if I've mentioned this already but, in the US, Ghost Stories is the fastest selling Rock album since Babel by M&S in 2012.

It's also the fastest selling album of the year, beating Country singer Eric Church 288K opening week back in February.

386k in the US is great!
