Wasn't sure where to put this news - expect it to get moved!
But the new World Album Chart is out for the week of MUIAL's release.

Not surprisingly, Styles is at #1 with 775,000 sales.
There was an outside chance Morrissey would have got in this chart. From memory, past albums have got pretty high up (at least top 10, possibly top 3). The lowest selling album on the chart this week is on 46,000.
He normally sells about 1/3 of his albums in the UK and 2/3 in the rest of the world.
So with 8,000 sales in the UK last week, I'm guessing worldwide sales would have been 20-30,000.
