I want this. I'm tempted to order it, but I'm guessing it'll be released here at some point.

Ok I got this and I've been listening to it today.
It's a really good debut - "Rockferry", "Warwick Avenue" (possibly the best song EVER named after a London Underground tube station!?), "Syrup And Honey", "Mercy" and "Distant Dreamer" are the immediate standouts.
If I didn't know this was a new release, I'd swear it was a 1960s recording!

183,874... That's not low at all. 40-50K is the norm on a regular week. Keep in mind that Leona just got the record for the fastest selling debut album in one week with 375,000.

Wasn't suggesting it was low. I'm baffled at how high it is, actually.

They're really giving her huge push in the US...and all very soon after the UK release. This will be the first release under the revived Mercury Records which is being head by David Massey and is a subsidiary of Island Def Jam.
She will be performing at SXSW and Coachella.

HITS is predicting about 55,000 first week sales, placing it in the lower Top 10! ;D
Very surprised it's selling so well...WELL DONE!

^ WOW! That's amazing. Given the fact that Kate Nash, Estelle, and Lily Allen all opened to between 13-20k, I thought Duffy was poised for 30k max. Great news. I just bought my copy for $7.99
