Faith No More has gone straight in at number 6 in the UK album chart with Sol Invictus. It is the band’s fourth top 10 album in the UK and third-highest charting after Angel Dust (2) and King for a Day…(5).
Sol Invictus is also number 1 on the UK indie chart and the Rock and Metal chart. It is also number 4 in physical sales and number 2 for vinyl sales.
It charted number 11 on downloads.
Finally, it went in at number 5 in the Scottish charts.
Update time.
Sol Invictus – Faith no more 125,000 copies sold in two weeks.
Yeah, SI is ranked 2 ATM on MediaTraffic. That makes me happy even without including all nations XD
Btw, Mediatraffic compiles 10 national charts so those numbers Only include
USA
UK
Aus
Jap
Fra
Neth
Spa
Ita
Can
Ger.
So, when other charts where Sol did so well is added, it’s way over 100k in one week sales.
According to Mediatraffic which gathers all sales numbers from the World Charts, Sol Invictus has passed 90.000 copies.
been to sainsburys tesco etc, big stores, not in top list at all. bit of a shame.
Took a trip into my home-town of Belfast today to see the album sitting out (just seeing a Faith No More CD being promoted in a store is a bit surreal to me).
Tesco – no sign of it. Wasn’t even listed in their top 75 albums.
Sainsburys – Ditto. Nothing.
HMV – no appearance in their top albums display. No promotion *at all*. I eventually found it in the ‘metal’ section along with the only other FNM album, AOTY.
Very disappointing.
Sales are over 10,000 copies in UK and 7,900 in Australia.
Sol Invictus is number 1 in Finland. Here is the official chart: http://www.ifpi.fi/tilastot/virallinen-lista/albumit/2015/21
