Johnny Borrell's label celebrates "15,678th best selling album of the year"

There was nothing 'stiff' with former Razorlight frontman's, Johnny Borrell's record label reaction this week to his debut album selling poorly.

As previously reported by Pressparty on July 30, 'Borrell 1' has sold less than 600 copies.

Stiff Records released the following statement on their website:

"Stiff Records is proud to announce first week sales figures for its latest album – Johnny Borrell's 'Borrell 1' – of 594.

'Borrell 1' is the début solo LP from the former Razorlight vocalist and is the first new album on the highly prolific Stiff Records since 2007.

That last album was the multi million-selling two-volume set, '30 Years Of Stiff Records' (although admittedly that was a free cover-mount with 'The Independent on Sunday').

"First week sales of 594 makes 'Borrell 1' the 15,678th best selling album of the year to date," comments a Stiff spokesperson. "So far we've achieved 0.00015% sales of Adele's '21' – and 0.03% sales of this week's No. 1 album from Jahmene Douglas – so we feel like it's all to play for as we move into the all-important week two."

“We might even break the Top 100.”

'Borrell 1' is out now on Stiff Records. If they're dead, we'll sign them."

One of Stiff Record's most successful signings is Madness, the British band known for their humour and wackiness.
