White Stripes albums sales surge after split

Sales of The White Stripes' albums have all increased substantially following the announcement that they have split up.According to figures on Amazon.co.uk, the band's 2010 live album and documentary Under Great White Northern Lights received a sales increase of 2,644% on the site following the announcement.

It is currently second in the website's Movers & Shakers chart, which follows high-rising releases.

Two other albums by the band also feature in the Top 10, with White Blood Cells at Number Five (612% up) and Elephant at Number Seven (402% up).A statement posted February 2 on their official website, Whitestripes.com, explained that the Detroit duo would make "no further new recordings or perform live."

The statement read: "The reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to continue, nor any health issues as both Meg and Jack [White] are feeling fine and in good health."

In 2007 the band cancelled world tour dates as drummer Meg was suffering from acute anxiety. They have not played live since that year.

The statement continued: "It [the split] is for a myriad of reasons, but mostly to preserve what is beautiful and special about the band and have it stay that way."
