Furthermore, the digital realm has also contributed to his achievements, with 2,258 downloads and 679 copies purchased via digital streaming platforms.
As Gilmour prepares for likely chart dominance, the competition remains intense. His latest release outperforms other notable entries, particularly Sabrina Carpenter's album Short N' Sweet, which has achieved 13,783 copies sold. Adding to the competitive landscape, the iconic UK band Oasis is making waves by securing three positions in the top five. Their compilation album Time Flies 1994-2009 stands at third place with 8,952 copies sold, while their renowned debut album, Definitely Maybe, occupies fourth place, moving 7,698 copies.
The additional Oasis title completes the top five, underscoring the enduring popularity of their catalog. Gilmour’s impressive performance, especially in physical sales, reflects a continued preference for traditional music formats in a market that has seen a growing trend toward streaming.
