in the USA Album Chart, until 1975, when Elton John did so
with 'Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy'.

Album was at No.1 - 'Meet The Beatles'. Their 2nd USA
Album was No.1 for 11 Weeks, & their 1st Album was at
No.2 for 9 of those 11 Weeks.
4) And, in April 1964 The Beatles held Positions 1 to 5
in the USA Singles Chart.
5) One Direction have sold 176,000 to enter at No.1 in
the USA Album Chart. It is no big deal. There are
313,200,000 people there. It is the same as selling about
34,955, to go in at No.1 in the UK. It is hardly gigantic Sales.
6) Not when you consider that in 2000, the USA Boy Band,
'N Sync, sold 2,400,000 USA copies - in a Week - to go in
at No.1 with their 'No Strings Attached' Album.
7) One Direction are not even huge in the UK. Their
Album could not get higher than No.2 here.
8) The hype around them has got really silly. The Beatles
had 15 UK No.1 Albums - 174 Weeks at No.1, & 19 USA No.1
Albums - 132 Weeks at No.1. One Direction are not going
to get anywhere near such success.....”

daft comparison.. One Direction were almost unheard of until very very recently in the US.. so to rise to #1 in such a short period is incredible. The likes of nsync had spent years doing promotion in the US.
Second, record sales have dwindled today due to the internet (youtube for example didnt exist pre 2005)..there is deflation. Selling 1 record today is worth far more than selling 1 record 10 years ago. I would like to see how many records pop acts from 2000 would sell today, with barely a few weeks of promotion, and in todays climate where records are not being bought.

Yep.. was just thinking that a soundtrack was selling well this week. Adele i believe is hitting around 170,000 a week (over 8.1 million in the US)... im expecting diamond certfication before the end of the year.
