Take That have set a new sales standard with their latest album Progress, which has achieved the biggest opening week sales of any album for 13 years – the Official Charts Company has confirmed-

To top the Official Albums Chart, Progress sold almost 520,000 copies last week, the highest one-week total for any album this century. The last album to sell more than 500,000 copies in a week was Oasis’s Be Here Now, which sold 663,000 in its first chart week in 1997.

 

In turn, JLS lead the Official Singles Chart, their Children In Need single Love You More arriving firmly at Number One – a fourth Number One single for the X-Factor 2008 runners-up – whose second album, Outta This World, is out tomorrow. (22 November)
