I was talking to a guy in work today about Damien's success and tried to work out how many copies of O he's sold.
What I worked out was:
US: 167,000
UK: It's gone gold which is at least 100,000
Ireland: I believe that its triple platinum which adds another 60,000
Thats a total of 327,000, pretty good going, Damien is going to find himself quite wealthy when the big royalty cheques start rolling in.
But the figure may not be accurate, the UK figure may be underestimated by 99,999 (although its unlikely to be that great), similarily there is a 19,999 margin for error for the irish figure which would give an upper possible sales figure of 446,998.
Also this figure doesn't take into account the sales for the rest of the world.
Wow, I got amazingly long winded here, I started this post just to ask one simple question:
Does anyone have any idea how many copies of O Damien has sold?
