We knew that Michael Ball and Alfie Boe were popular but consider us mightily impressed that they have now reached combined sales of over 1 million for their albums Together and Together Again! Well done to both of them, and to all of you #StageFaves lovers for keeping musical theatre stars at the top of the charts!
Released in October 2017, Together Again was one of the top 10 best-selling albums of the year and is still holding strong at no. 6 after eight weeks on the charts. And even though Together was only released in November of 2016, it still became the third best-selling album of the year and - chart fans - was the biggest selling album that was actually released in 2016, a real success story in these times of declining album sales.
Ball took to Twitter to mark the occasion:
We’ve just been told that ‘Together’ and ‘Together Again’ have reached 1 MILLION combined sales! A big thank you to all of you for supporting both albums. We hope you’ve enjoyed listening to the music as much as we have loved creating it! x pic.twitter.com/EHtimt3SxW
