Angel Haze album reaches #196 in UK charts, sells only 857 copies
Angel Haze surprised many last month by leaking her own debut album online, citing label disputes for her decision. The record, originally due in March, was eventually rush-released on 30 December, leading to lower than anticipated sales figures.
As FACT note, dented by the self-leak and the fact that physical copies won’t hit shelves until later this month, UK chart statistics show that the digital downloads of Dirty Gold only managed to shift 857 copies in its first week, entering at #196 in the Albums Chart. Compare this to the 37,507 units sold by this week’s number one, Ellie Goulding.
How the LP fared in the U.S will be revealed when the Billboard charts are announced on Thursday.
