According to Hits Daily Double, soulful songstress Sade‘s new LP ‘Solider of Love’ is on course to sell between 400,000 – 425,000 copies first week. Yes, you read right!

The hotly anticipated set is the 51 year old Londoner’s first album in over 10 years, and has seen her embark on a whirlwind International media promo tour – including stops at BBC radio here in London, BET’s 106 & Park, David Letterman, and the Today Show.

It’s great to see quality music can still sell. What’s more, it goes to show that regardless of the economy, if the music is good enough, folk will part with their cash to buy it. More power to her!
