Some Sales Figures...
According to Mediatraffic, Send Away The Tigers sold 53.000 copies on it's first week out. About 80% of those sales are from UK.

PS. Your Love Alone Is Not Enough UK sales are 43.000 copies at the moment (not counting this weeks sales).

If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next UK sales were something between 300.000 and 400.000, with first week sales of 156,000 (effing loads).

Don't really know about Motorcycle Emptiness. It's over 100k though.


(thanks Music Week and Martin at haven)

U.K.
To Date Albums

69,868 Manic Street Preachers - Journal For Plague Lovers

Music Week report

We know that Generation Terrorists is Worldwide around the 300k mark.

just thought it was interesting.

Some more.

Postcards has come in at number 3 in the album charts, after leading all week. It was a close call, the Manics are a band that never quite make it. Shame..

Sales figures for the top 3:

Phil Collins - 40,684
The Script - 39,967
Manics - 38,314

JFPL first week Manic Street Preachers 34707

Something tells me it won't change all that much once they have been counted.

I'd have thought JFPL would be closer to 100,000 sales now in UK, surely? Guess not.
Tolerate sold loads, that's amazing.

Im pretty sure they are old sales figures. Didnt Nicky tweet something about the sales a few months back?

Edit just found this tweet " Sold another 5,000 copies of 'postcards' last week-forever delayed marches on 32,000 during 2010 xx" - Im guessing it has sold alot more than 70,000 in the previous 6 years. Full history shows it went Platinum 20/12/2002

It did seem ridiculously low for a GH, as if they'd only counted the 2CD edition or something.

Yeah I thought that to, But it actually went platinum in it's first year. I would guess it's 2 x platinum at least now.

Loads of copies of TIMT and EMG end up on ebay, in charity shops. pound shops etc. The second hand place over the road from my office has always got a couple. Travis and Coldplay are big bargain favourites too. And Fever by Kylie.

Nicky just tweeted this "Forever delayed(the album)now sold a million!-approx 650 uk-the rest around the world-not bad at all-keeps on selling x

Which solves the FD sales debate
