Joaco95 1,631 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 ABBA are well and truly back as Voyage charges straight in at Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart. Racking up 204,000 chart sales in its first seven days, Voyage is the fastest-selling album of 2021 so far, and earns the biggest opening week on the UK’s Official Albums Chart in four years, since Ed Sheeran’s Divide. Their tenth Number 1 record in the UK, Voyage is the renowned group’s first studio album to top the Official Albums Chart in 40 years – though two hits collections, The Singles and Gold both managed the feat in between. Voyage’s total is made up of 90% physical copies, including 29,900 on vinyl, which makes it the fastest-selling vinyl release of the century, overtaking the 24,500 first-week vinyl sales of Arctic Monkeys’ Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino in 2018. This also marks ABBA’s 58th total week as UK Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart – only two other acts in history have spent more weeks at the top, The Beatles and Elvis. https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/abba-soar-to-tenth-number-1-on-the-official-albums-chart-with-voyage-we-are-absolutely-over-the-moon__34427/ From the US Charts: + they also had plenty of #1 on the album charts across europe (200k+ sales in germany) and Australia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KORG 4,756 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 The stats are hilarious to me. Drake selling 300 copies charting higher than Radiohead's 18,000 due to people playlisting and repeating will forever boggle the mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson123 38,401 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 This should've been #1 in the US. I hate streaming rules. Sales should count as double or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoresup 2,711 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 If people are paying their hard earned money for physicals/downloads then that is way more important than someone clicking stream on a song. SO frustrating! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO frustrating! This is why Gaga joined TikTok. She needs to get the streaming generation on her side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
