As we all expected, the 'popularity in sales' of the Arctic Monkeys has decreased significantly with the departure of the humbug: The midweek report indicates that it is selling less than its previous albums.
humbug, the third of this English quartet, was launched on the market last Monday (24 August) and so far it has only sold 40000 copies, a very low figure if we compare it with that of his debut album, which managed to sell 360000 in its first week.
However, there are those who give you a vote of confidence:
"All is well ... it is slowly moving towards 100000 copies sold in its first week, and it is almost certain that it will become the third number one of the group. It could even compete with U2's No Line On The Horizon as one of the fastest-selling albums of 2009.”Commented a spokesperson for HMV.
