Mick Jagger Rocked by Poor Album Sales - Reports

LONDON (Reuters) - Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger's new solo album sold just 954 copies on its first day on sale, according to British newspapers on Wednesday.

Despite a massive publicity effort, the 58-year-old singer's third solo album ``Goddess In The Doorway'' was lying at number 85 in the British charts.

On the same day, Robbie Williams' new album ``Swing While You're Winning,'' sold 73,000 copies.

The Daily Mail quoted a music industry insider as saying: ''These results have staggered everyone.

``They are very, very disappointing considering the Jagger publicity machine has been absolutely wonderful.''

Jagger's spokesman Bernard Docherty said: ``I cannot possibly comment on the album sales. It is far too early to tell.''
