The Kings of Leon album: ‘Only by the night’ has become the UK's highest selling digital album of all time!
It’s now the only UK album to sell over 250,000 copies digitally
Kings Of Leon's closest competition comes from Lady Gaga, whose debut album ‘The Fame’ is likely to pass 200,000 downloads within the next month.
Official Charts Company managing director Martin Talbot said: “This is an incredible achievement by Kings Of Leon, one of the few acts in recent years to have crossed over from true alternative territory into the mainstream... “To date, just 12 albums have passed the 100,000 download mark, but the explosive success of Kings Of Leon illustrates the growing popularity of album downloading among music fans, which has been steadily increasing over the past three years.”
The biggest selling digital albums in the UK are as follows:
1: King of Leon – ‘Only by the night’
2: Lady Gaga – ‘The Fame’
3: Florence + The Machine – ‘Lings’
4: Lily Allen – ‘It’s not me, it’s you’
5: Coldplay – ‘Viva La Vida or Death to all his friends’
6: Duffy – ‘Rockferry’
7: Amy Winehouse - ‘Back To Black’
8: Black Eyed Peas – ‘The E.N.D’
