Mixed news on sales front.
It is a mixed week for sales. The top four artist albums are new entries, selling more than 50,000 copies each, but do not lift the overall market as much as expected. Meanwhile, the singles market enjoys its second biggest week of the year, despite there being only one record topping the 50,000 sales mark.
The album market's leading attraction, naturally, was Robbie Williams' new set Rudebox. Although it provides Williams with the eighth number one of his solo career, its sales were a less than stellar 147,236,
That's more than 200,000 down on the first-week tally secured by Williams' last album, Intensive Care, exactly a year ago, and his lowest for a new studio set since 1998. Williams' previous first-week tallies are as follows: Intensive Care (373,832, 2005), Greatest Hits (320,081, 2004), Live At Knebworth (117,863, 2003), Escapology (264,104, 2002), Swing When You're Winning (295,024, 2001), Sing When You're Winning (313,585, 2000), I've Been Expecting You (131,836, 1998), Life Thru A Lens (14,533, 1997). On a more positive note, Williams' Greatest Hits album passed the 2m sales mark last week, becoming his sixth album to reach the target.
2006 albums by Arctic Monkeys, Journey South, Shayne Ward, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Keane, Scissor Sisters and The Killers all opened bigger than Rudebox.
