“Samsung received some 20 million pre-orders for the S6 and S6 Edge — 15 million of S6 and five million of the S6 Edge from mobile carriers, worldwide. This is the record,” a top executive at major European carrier told The Korea Times.

Note this is sales to mobile carriers not end customers. However,  this is still a huge quantity of sales.

It will also be interesting to see if carriers decide to sell or the different memory and colour options.

The UK release date is pegged for April 10th 2015.
