Sales for TGW
Finally found out how much TGW sold in it's first week!

10 703 copies. As far as I remember it went out of Top 40 the next week, so total sales is UK must have been around 15K? Maybe 20K?

Sry if this is old news, and has been posted before

I have no idea about that..
But in a small country (like Norway) where 15k is actually pretty good, most artist can live on those sales. So I guess it did make a small profit.

My auntie calls her boyfriend 'matey' so much that I don't know what his real name. Now I feel like I've invited SoS to my wedding. Dear Lord

If SATT does well, I wonder if it will pick up a few more sales.
