Take That’s The Circus sold 432,000 copies in its first week in UK stores, becoming the fastest-selling album this year and notching the third-highest sales total in British history. Yes, really. (It’s behind Oasis’ Be Here Now, which sold 663,000 copies, and Coldplay’s X & Y, which sold 464,000.) Meanwhile, the other album called Circus that came out in the UK last week came in fourth on the charts, behind The Killers’ Day & Age and a reworked version of Leona Lewis’ Spirit. [Billboard]
