Looking at the sales over the past few weeks, I'm starting to get worried. They're atrocious, especially considering they're coming from artists who used to go gold in their first week of sales.
I certainly hope TT's album won't suffer the same fate.

First day sales of III were over 90k if I remember correctly. I know that they sold almost 150k in the 1st week.

If they manage 100k in March I'll be surprised, why they didn't release in Nov or Dec I just don't know

They should have released in Q4 for better sales definitely. There also isn't as much competition this year as usual in the album market so it could have gone in their favour. I guess the album just isn't finished and that's why we aren't getting it sooner.

Let's hope LIS will help increase the number of pre-orders. At this point, I'd be happy if they managed to equal the sales of III.
It's shocking that Emily Sande didn't manage to sell 50k in her first week. Actually, it's shocking that big names don't manage to sell 100k in the 1st week anymore.

I heard though I don't know if it's true that only three albums have gone Platinum this year in the UK (300,000).
I read it in an interview with a British artist and they were discussing what it means to be successful today and they mentioned only three albums have gone platinum in the UK this year. Am pretty sure that's what they said.
I know it's bad but I hope this doesn't mean like in the vast majority of other countries the certs levels are lowered in the UK.

It is worth remembering none of the albums listed below were released this year with the exception of Drake and Beyonce, all the others were released last year and had sales achieved prior to this year (separate from these totals)

How bizarre that the sales have changed so much. Do we reckon it's likely that the BPI might review the certificate thresholds if this continues?

I cant see BPI changing the certificate thresholds as they are very fair as it is.

This year has generally been a quiet year for big album releases. The Q4 schedule seems much thinner on the ground than usual so not surprised about sales.

Little Mix have achieved amazing sales, which proves that, with a good single, you can still get people to buy albums.
This means TT have to pick up very carefully their 1st single and promote it as much as they can.

And change the release date. so it coincides with Mother's Day sales.

Little Mix has done amazingly well. In my mind they are up there with the spice girls as the best British girl band! Makes it sweeter knowing they were found during Gary's XF stint!

Not sure if anyone saw Sunday Brunch, but Gary was saying that he was putting the final tweaks to the album on Sat evening and that it's going to mastering this week!

I am looking forward to the album but disappointed with the wait. I have been trying to convince myself of the saying, all good things come to those who wait.
