Musical film Mamma Mia! has become the fastest-selling DVD of all time in the UK, according to Official UK Charts Company figures.
It sold 1,669,084 copies on Monday's release date, breaking the previous record held by Titanic - based on DVD and video sales - by 560,000 copies.
Mamma Mia!, which was released in cinemas in July, has taken more than £66m at the UK box office.
Universal's managing director, Ian Foster, said the success of Mamma Mia! was a "testament to the fun-loving spirit of the British public and the universal appeal of this wonderful film".
A spokesman for supermarket Asda said 300,000 copies had been sold in its stores with, 15% of shoppers buying a copy on Monday.
Last month, Mamma Mia! became the highest-grossing British film at the UK box office, beating the previous holder of the record, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
It is now the second highest-grossing film in UK box office history behind Titanic.
Meanwhile, this weekend, chart-topper Quantum of Solace took £2.9 milllion and has now taken £45.1 million in the UK so far.
It beat competition from espionage thriller Body of Lies - starring Leonardo DiCaprio - which made its debut at number two with takings of £991,979.
Love-triangle comedy My Best Friend's Girl, starring Kate Hudson, Jason Biggs and Dane Cook, opened in third place with £911,355.
High School Musical 3: Senior Year dropped a place to number four, with £605,704, and US comedy Zack And Miri Make A Porno also slipped to number five, taking £447,485.

I can't get hold of it anywhere :crying: Guess that's the bank telling me to put it on my xmas list and not my overdraft :p

Aren't you a kind soul. Thanks for the offer but I really should put it on the xmas list. Although £7 isn't that big a dent in the overdraft...
I'll wait, it will teach me to be patient :angel:

I was looking at the CSI box sets, pulled one forward and behind it was the last copy for £7 :D:D:D:D i think someone may have put it there hoping to come and get it later but least to say i was happy :D watched it 3 times since getting yesterday afternoon :D
