Take That`s ‘The Circus’ becomes fastest selling album of decade

Take That`s latest album ‘The Circus’ has broken records after becoming the fastest-selling album.

London, Dec 20: Take That`s latest album ‘The Circus’ has broken records after becoming the fastest-selling album in the UK so far this decade, according to Official Charts Company statistics.‘The Circus’ raced to that milestone after just 19 days on sale.
It missed out on being the fastest million-seller ever, though. Oasis’ ‘Be Here Now’ passed the mark after just 11 days on shop shelves in 1997.
And Take That`s ‘Beautiful World’ album of 2006 is the third fastest. The rapid ascent for Take That also leaves them with the second biggest selling album of 2008, leapfrogging Coldplay`s ‘Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends’, reports the Telegraph. Official Charts Company managing director Martin Talbot said: "It has been an incredible run for Take That over the past few weeks, which should continue right through to Christmas." Here are the Official Charts Company`s five fastest million album sellers in the UK and how long they took to reach the figure: 1. Be Here Now - Oasis (1997) 11 days 2. The Circus - Take That (2008) 19 days 3. Beautiful World - Take That (2006) 27 days 4. Robson & Jerome - Robson & Jerome (1995) 28 days 5. The Beatles (2000) 28 days ANI
