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.

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.

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 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.

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.
