Take That break DVD sales record
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 26 November 2009
We’re moving ever closer to a day where Take That hold all sales records in the music industry. Their latest is for having the fastest selling music DVD ever in the UK, with ‘Take That Present: The Circus Live’. They managed to rack up the highest first week sales ever in just one day, shifting 82,414 copies in 24 hours and snatching the record from the previous holder, ‘Now That’s What I Call A Music Quiz’.
HMV’s Gennaro Castaldo told reporters: “We’ve had record pre-orders for a music DVD title [for this release] via hmv.com, and now we’re seeing a real surge in demand through our stores around the country. This is a phenomenal performance for a non-studio release, and it underlines the band’s massive popularity with fans of all ages”.
