Daft Punk's new album is 2013's quickest seller

"Random Access Memories" by Daft Punk has become the fastest-selling album of 2013, with more than 104,000 sales in the UK in just two days.
Even though there is still three days in the chart week to go, the album has already achieved the status of highest seller in a week for the French act, beating the 50,629 copies sold of "Discovery" when it debuted at number 2 in 2001.
"Random Access Memories" is also on the verge of eclipsing Reprise/Warner Bros act Michael Buble's "To Be Loved" for the highest first-week sales of 2013 for an artist album (it opened with 121,415 takers in April).

But the albu is doing great in the US too: according to industry prognosticators it could sell upwards of 300,000 copies by week's end on May 26. That could earn the second-largest debut week this year, according to Nielsen SoundScan, following Justin Timberlake's monster start of 968,000 for his "The 20/20 Experience".
