HMV stores opened their doors this morning to find fans queueing as the album went on sale.
HMV head of press and PR Gennaro Castaldo said: 'We haven't seen anything like this since Oasis released Be Here Now in August 1997.'
According to HMV, some industry commentators are expecting the album to reach half a million sales on Saturday, making it as fast-selling as Be Here Now. The record-breaking Oasis album sold just under 696,000 copies in its first week in August 1997.
