UK album sales have plummeted to their lowest in 16 years. Album sales fell another 2.65% over the past week, with total sales in Great Britain at 1,312,971. It is the lowest seven-day album sales since the week ending June 22, 1996. Emeli Sandé topped the chart with her debut album Our Version of Events, which sold 13,430 over the past week, reports Music Week. It's the lowest sales for a chart leader since Ace of Base's Happy Nation headed the chart in July 1994 with 12,042 copies. John Mayer's Born and Raised reached number four with sales of 12,651, which are his highest one-week sales in the UK so far. However, Mayer's previous album Battle Studies sold 11,781 during it's first week in 2009, but only reached number 35. Sandé's Our Version of Events becomes the third record to top the chart with sales under 20,000 this century after Adele's 21 and Keane's Strangeland did so earlier this year. |

I actually considered posting the link, but then remembered how much it irritates you when I don't. You keep asking for links, I will keep leaving them out. Got it? |

and I thought the mid-90s were really strong in terms of album sales. There were so many big sales names back than, like Spice Girls, Alanis Morissette, Oasis... only Adele is selling those numbers now |

I think Adele is one of those albums that appeals to middle-aged and older people who don't really do the whole "downloading" thing. It's perfectly safe, bland Tesco housewife music, so appeals to millions of people who don't even really like music and who buy one CD every 10 years to play in the car on journeys to garden centres. Hence its success. |

Go and wipe back to front. Every time you don't post a link, your crap is fake. How's that? |

Relax, guys. TickTock, you can always Google it. In fact, I just Googled the article and it popped up as the first result. River, you could just include the link so that we don't hear TickTock bitching. |

Ivane, he has been very, very rude to people who occasionally forget to post links. Now I don't bother, purely to piss him off. It's his own fault. |
