Default Maximum weight on shelves fixed to plasterboard wall

Assuming that I have appropriate fixings, what is the maximum weight I
should try to hang from a plasterboard wall?

I have one of these:
http://www.habitat.co.uk/cleo-cd-storage/-//fcp-product/997898 that's
going to need to be wall-mounted. 400 CDs make quite a weight, and the
thing is heavy enough to begin with.

I would not fix anything direct to Plasterboard .... either fix direct to
studs, or fix counter batten to studs then what you want to the batten
