But, hey, 85,000 copies sold on the first day ain't bad.

 

Billboard reports:

 

"Favourite Worst Nightmare" sold almost 85,000 units during its first day of release Monday, according to over-the-counter data collated by the Official U.K. Charts Company.

 

First-week sales "should certainly top the quarter million mark," said Melanie Armstrong, music manager at British music retailer HMV.

But the band's January 2006 debut, "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not," sold 363,735 copies during its week in Britain, including 108,000 on the first day alone.

 

We shall see what happens in the coming days...
