The album chart is of great interest to me this week.
Posted by: Charis 18th November 2019, 04:20 PM
Westlife will score their 8th #1 album if they make it, including Unbreakable-Greatest Hits. 
Posted by: Charis 18th November 2019, 04:20 PM
why?
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 18th November 2019, 04:22 PM
It's pretty obvious Westlife will be at #1
Posted by: pippa 18th November 2019, 04:38 PM
Debatable if it equals Take That, as i count Progressed as Take That Number 1 which put them on 9.

I am so shocked to see Take That in the Top 3.
I honestly expected much much lower, i now have hopes it could stay Top 10.
Posted by: Jack 18th November 2019, 05:30 PM
HR Karen giving Kidz Bop relevance into the Top 5 I see!
Posted by: pippa 18th November 2019, 05:32 PM
50K is more than good for Westlife, that said, with pre orders for almost a year, how much will the sales collapse for the remainder of the week.
Posted by: Bjork 18th November 2019, 05:33 PM
but should be far more than 50k if they're outselling the rest of the top 10
Posted by: Lomadz 18th November 2019, 05:42 PM
Take That have some mad selling power
Posted by: Hadji 18th November 2019, 05:42 PM
That means if NOW 104 was released this week and the compilation chart didn’t exist, then Westlife would be blocking NOW from the top
Posted by: common sense 18th November 2019, 05:48 PM
Wow at the Westlife sales. Never expected 50k today.
Posted by: Mart!n 18th November 2019, 06:05 PM
The Police studio recordings I want, all 6 albums as a box set at that price of 16.00, I only have their albums on vinyls
Posted by: gavindeejay 18th November 2019, 06:07 PM
Great to see Meduza and Becky Hill get into the Top 10. Hope it can be their second Top 10 hit for them both this year!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 18th November 2019, 06:10 PM
Much higher than I expected for Chris Kamara! Hopefully it can stay top 15.

Chris kamara coming for Bubles crown before rovbie swooos in later in the month
Glad to see lover back top 40 probably wont be there by the end of the week, really do like the Shawn mendes remix

Posted by: pippa 18th November 2019, 07:27 PM
With 10,632 already achieved, Take That will safely take a Top 10 position this week.
Their last Live album, peaked at Number 12 (probably with higher sales) but i am extremely delighted with this result.
13th Top 10 album is secured.
Posted by: pippa 18th November 2019, 07:35 PM
Disastrous 2nd weeks for both The Script and Snow Patrol.
I believe Niall Horan will improve on his position through the week but not enough to secure Top 20.
Both Ella Henderson tracks could achieve new peak positions this week based on this chart.
Posted by: dobbo 18th November 2019, 07:36 PM
Seeing Chris Kamara in the top 10 is quite unbelievable really, Jeff.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 18th November 2019, 07:47 PM
Who's this Simon Green at #60 in the singles chart with 'Heart To Stay'?
Posted by: Bjork 18th November 2019, 08:00 PM
was gonna ask the same, haven't seen the single anywhere, spotify, Apple Music or iTunes?
Posted by: Bjork 18th November 2019, 08:01 PM
it's a total and normal and 1000% expected drop for Snow Patrol, nobody buys CDs anymore and without spotify support in endless playlists you're not gonna get any streaming album points from random fans... it's the new normal sadly

Posted by: Bjork 18th November 2019, 08:41 PM
that Simon Green song had 17 views on YT when I checked earlier Maybe it's an exclusive on Amazon or something
but yeah thinking it has to be an error
Posted by: 777666jason 18th November 2019, 09:17 PM
Probably its not really high on itunes or spotify atm
Posted by: Herbs 18th November 2019, 09:23 PM
Shocked at the fall for The Script. Expected them to be comfortable top10.
Great to see Céline doing well
Posted by: common sense 18th November 2019, 10:28 PM
Excuse me but lots of people still buy CD's.
Posted by: Steve201 19th November 2019, 12:33 AM
I'd say a lot more people than the average buy cds and are in stores during these weeks of the year than any others.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 19th November 2019, 01:44 AM
And there was me thinking take that had no hope of top 10, what a lovely surprise.
Posted by: TomJ1991 19th November 2019, 07:01 AM
Chris Kamara in the top 10 is hilarious. I can't think of any other former footballer who has had a top 40 album; the only one I know who has released an album is Vinnie Jones, who is currently on the Celebrity X Factor...
Posted by: milly 19th November 2019, 07:29 AM
I honestly expected much much lower, i now have hopes it could stay Top 10.
Exactly, for an album that's been released months ago, to be selling over 10 k now is quite impressive.
Posted by: Bré 19th November 2019, 07:32 AM
It's not the original 'Odyssey', it's a newly released live album.
Posted by: TomJ1991 19th November 2019, 07:49 AM
Maybe it's an exclusive on Amazon or somethingbut yeah thinking it has to be an error
11 monthly listeners on Spotify...but it has 14,000 plays on Spotify somehow. Weird.

maybe a bunch of hackers?

I think the ‘nobody buys CDs anymore’ is a bit of a stretch - some artists make up 80-90% of their weekly sales from physicals and paid downloads. The fact that we have Amazon, HMV, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Morrison’s and other online retailers and artists stores selling physicals indicates there is still a market for them.
Posted by: ___∆___ 19th November 2019, 03:36 PM
I think it’s to be expected - even though they are still really popular they have been on a downward spiral and their last album ‘only’ sold 114k - I think this one will do similar figures.
Posted by: pippa 19th November 2019, 04:10 PM
I think the same, both their current and previous albums will result in similar sales.
They are doing reasonably well for an act over 10 years into their career and for a 6th album.
Posted by: myxxd 19th November 2019, 04:25 PM
I'm shocked Westlife did better on Germany and Brazil iTunes than The Script. The Script is bigger worldwide and their new single sounds like a hit for them.

Looks like Ball and Boe could creep back up to Number 2 by the end of the week if they continue to sell over 3k per day.
Posted by: Rob 19th November 2019, 04:56 PM
But very few albums are sold on iTunes, I wouldn't read too much into it.

I know it's small but it's an indicator for me
Posted by: Bjork 19th November 2019, 05:02 PM
poor update for the top 3 albums
Posted by: common sense 19th November 2019, 05:03 PM
Westlife won't get near 100k then. About 72k is my guess.
Posted by: Dark Horse 19th November 2019, 05:14 PM
Wheres Niall Horan?
Posted by: d22ghj 19th November 2019, 05:14 PM
My guess is 66k for Westlife
Posted by: Mart!n 19th November 2019, 05:35 PM
20+2+2=??
Posted by: pippa 19th November 2019, 05:46 PM
Take That should be very safe to claim a Top 5 position on Friday and that is allowing Boe and Ball an ED Sheeran to overtake them.
Posted by: Bjork 19th November 2019, 06:11 PM
Take That are safe for at least top 4, they've already done more than what Ed did last week
Posted by: ___∆___ 19th November 2019, 06:24 PM
Amazing result for Take That for a live album and no promo for it - especially as they are past their sales peak of the past, i think it will hold up decently for a few weeks too with gift buying etc.,
Posted by: gooddelta 19th November 2019, 06:26 PM
I bought the Take That release but was under the impression it would count as a DVD, as it’s available as either a DVD with highlights CD (which I got) or a DVD/Blu-ray and 2xCD set. I’m sure other releases in the past like that have ended up in the DVD chart?
Posted by: ___∆___ 19th November 2019, 06:52 PM
^^ I might be wrong but I’m sure the record company can decide if it’s an audio or visual release when it features content on multiple formats?
Posted by: pippa 19th November 2019, 07:34 PM
Not big sales in the Top 3 albums from yesterdays update
01 Westlife 2.646
02 Celine Dion 2,044
03 Take That 868
Posted by: Glenn 69 19th November 2019, 09:27 PM
Meanwhile Ball and Boe sold 3.3k today so looks like No3 will change hands tomorrow
Posted by: Djcheekymagpie 19th November 2019, 09:31 PM
Lewis Capaldi number 1 next week
Posted by: Spiceboy 19th November 2019, 10:42 PM
01 Westlife 2.646
02 Celine Dion 2,044
03 Take That 868
Michael Ball and Aflie Boe sold more than any of the top 3 did with over 3k!
Take That can kiss #3 goodbye.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 19th November 2019, 11:34 PM
If take that stay top 5 it's a good result for them.
Posted by: Steve201 19th November 2019, 11:39 PM
Ball and Boe could, once again, be a force to be reackoned with this Xmas then in the albums market!
Posted by: Rafael x 20th November 2019, 01:21 AM
new harry not top 40? its doing good on spotify
Posted by: Bjork 20th November 2019, 06:50 AM
^wasn't released til Sunday
Posted by: JosephStyles 20th November 2019, 07:09 AM
Harry was only a little bit outside the top 60 yesterday, after not being top 100 on Monday's update so hopefully it'll manage a top 40 finish!
Posted by: CockDestroyer 20th November 2019, 08:33 AM
Tones & I looks to have had a small decline compared to last week but maybe it will somehow increase by Friday and avoid ACR.
GOSH. Westlife, Celine Dion and Take That in the Albums Top 3. How retro!
Posted by: M4NG0 20th November 2019, 10:48 AM
Would love it if Tones & I could avoid ACR for another few weeks just for the lolz of it
Just realised that Fall Out Boy aren't even Top 100 in the Monday mids - thought a new Greatest Hits album would have generated some interest at least?
Posted by: Bjork 20th November 2019, 11:23 AM
she is certainly doing less than last week on Spotify at least (no clue about Apple)
last week (Fri-Mon): 679-682-562-589(k)
this week: 639-658-546-561
Posted by: Wall 20th November 2019, 12:07 PM

NO OTHER SALES INFO
Posted by: pippa 20th November 2019, 07:33 PM
Take Thats sales are really slowing down.
That said, Number 4 looks to be safe for them.
This is still an 8 place improvement on the peak of their previous Live album.
Posted by: danG 20th November 2019, 07:34 PM
Dance Monkey was on 50.4k this time last week, it's actually gone up week on week so Tones could still avoid ACR *_* depending on whether she's actually increased in streams that is
Posted by: Bjork 20th November 2019, 07:37 PM
really hope Ball/Boe don't catch Celine Dion :/ they've gone and cover The Greatest Showman song, ouch, can someone go any lower :/
Posted by: pippa 20th November 2019, 07:47 PM
I think Celine may just about hold the Number 2 position with them close behind at 3, and Take That number 4.
Posted by: Bjork 20th November 2019, 07:50 PM
the Spotify figures have been lower every day, on average 25k lower per day, which I know is not much... it also depends if the market increases or not... cos last week she dropped but not by much but then the market increased...
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 20th November 2019, 07:59 PM
Like Celine wouldn't also cover it though.
Posted by: Hadji 20th November 2019, 08:02 PM
LewCap would’ve had a big chance of knocking Tones off the top next week had he waited to release on Friday instead of releasing at midweek. I don’t understand why people find DM so appealing
Posted by: jimwatts 20th November 2019, 08:08 PM
It's possible the decrease on Spotify has been offset by increases on other platforms e.g. Amazon Music which seems a bit behind the curve in terms of new music... It's going to be touch and go anyway. If it does go to ACR, it'll be unlucky to have been only just under the threshold where it counts as a decrease for each of the 3 weeks, but that's the rules.
Posted by: Hadji 20th November 2019, 08:09 PM
I’ve lost count of how many times DM has avoided ACR. OCC should change the rules so that if a song avoids ACR three times, then it gets immediate ACR
Posted by: Cara 20th November 2019, 08:15 PM
Is watermelon sugar close to top 40?

How many sales do we think Westlife will finish the week with?
Posted by: Nick Jonas 20th November 2019, 08:26 PM
Around 61k?
Posted by: Medellíam 20th November 2019, 08:30 PM
I thought the first update sales for Westlife were great but I was expecting them to be selling at a better rate throughout the week. I assume they'll pick up towards Christmas but I'm not sure they'll achieve Platinum before year's end like I originally expected.
Posted by: danG 20th November 2019, 08:46 PM
We don't know, as the post says we only have Top 40 information today.
Posted by: Bjork 20th November 2019, 08:48 PM
Westlife should have covered The Greatest Showman instead of Boe/Ball, then they'd go platinum
Posted by: Bré 20th November 2019, 08:56 PM
It's possible that Tones' downloads may just be up a bit this week? It got a fairly big boost on iTunes the other day. It does seem her streaming numbers are probably on course to be either very slightly up or very slightly down overall anyway though so it's probably a coin toss if it goes to ACR or not. It looks like Lewis might well be ahead of Tones next week regardless though if him debuting at #6 on Spotify from only 7 hours of streams is anything to go by.
You've lost count at 0? It's literally only the last two weeks its streams were decreasing relative to the market so if it avoids ACR this week that'd be a grand total of one time.
Posted by: pippa 20th November 2019, 09:05 PM
I dont see this album making platinum.
200K, possibly 250k is where i think it will close with.

What's caused Lover to re-enter? Sorry if this has already been answered.
Posted by: gavindeejay 20th November 2019, 10:27 PM
The remix which features Shawn Mendes
Posted by: Steve201 20th November 2019, 10:43 PM
Why would that be ok though? If a song avoids ACR it shows it's popular and deserves to remain in the chart. It also shows the difference between a quick fire hit and a huge hit in this day and age so I like it the way it is.
Posted by: Steve201 20th November 2019, 10:44 PM
She usually doesn't enter until next week anyway at the earliest.
Posted by: Bré 20th November 2019, 10:49 PM
Hadji posts some variant of 'the OCC should ban songs from avoiding ACR 3 times' every couple of weeks or so no matter how many times people point out how stupid that is.
Posted by: Big Boobs Vjay! 20th November 2019, 10:53 PM
But surely any song that doesn't go on ACR has avoided ACR that week?
Posted by: Steve201 20th November 2019, 10:53 PM
lol I do enjoy his eccentric views especially on the Radio 1 Playlist thread!!
Posted by: Hadji 20th November 2019, 10:54 PM
The rate it’s going, it could end up being Xmas #1. If the rumours about Stormzy releasing his Ed collab on Friday are true, then hopefully it will dispose Tones from the top
Posted by: Steve201 20th November 2019, 10:58 PM
It's been huge though - it's weekly sales have been over 80k throughout its run I think when most songs this year have been on average closer to 55k!
Posted by: Hadji 21st November 2019, 12:05 AM
And might I point out that if Stormzy & Ed release their song on Friday and go to #1, Ed will be the first artist to score four number ones in a year since Westlife in 1999
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 21st November 2019, 12:21 AM
I think to be honest, if Hadji had his way all songs would be erased from the chart after 6 weeks simply because he's bored of them.
Posted by: myxxd 21st November 2019, 12:43 AM
When was the last time two or more albums that have Ed credits made the top 5?
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 21st November 2019, 12:56 AM
Hopefully take that can nab another 1k sales for the week, I'm still surprised it's doing aswell as it is.
Posted by: Steve201 21st November 2019, 06:47 PM
Pity we don't seem to have a Thursday update
Posted by: pippa 21st November 2019, 07:24 PM
I had hoped for a Thursday update too.
Maybe later, if we are lucky.
Posted by: Steve201 21st November 2019, 08:27 PM
Want to see how Westlife sold yday.
Posted by: ben08 22nd November 2019, 04:44 PM
From BPI,
Westlife - Spectrum - Emi - Silver - Album - 22.11.2019 - 15.11.2019
So over 60,000 in first week.
