BuzzJack Music Forum _ UK Charts _ Friday Chart Predictions
Posted by: SevenSeize 5th April 2020, 03:32 PM
It could be a seventh week at #1 for The Weeknd's Blinding Lights, or another chart topper for fellow Canadian star Drake with Toosie Slide. Matt Lucas releases his NHS charity single Thank You Baked Potato, plus new tracks come from DaBaby, Troye Sivan, The 1975 and Frank Ocean
will Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia take the #1 album spot after a narrow miss last week? All Time Low release their latest album Wake Up, Sunshine!, with new releases from Headie One/Fred Again, Thundercat, Mystery Jets, Yves Tumor and Purity Ring
Breakdown of the week
- Saturday: Some information may be posted on social media but it is likely to be missing most streaming data and is unrepresentative.
- Sunday: Official First Look Chart on Radio 1 from 6-7pm. Please do not post spoilers on the forum in advance as this ruins the countdown for any listeners.
- Monday: OCC Top 100 from 5:45pm
- Tuesday: Top 40 update as and when we receive them with requests, this is NOT 100% guaranteed however. The OCC may publish sales flashes of their own accord but likewise, this is not guaranteed. Twitter and social media is your friend for today. Please post any information you find with a source. Do not nag for updates, we will post a top 40 update if we receive one.
- Wednesday: Top 40 update from Music Week from 5:45, and potential top 5 sales but this is not guaranteed.
- Thursday: See Tuesday.
Other notes (please read)
- You may make requests Tuesday to Thursday but outside the top 40, specific positions will not be revealed (unless deemed necessary by a mod).
- Please do not demand a midweek update, one will be posted as and when we receive the information. Patience is a virtue.
- Sales information will be given out as deemed necessary by a moderator, please bear this in mind when making requests. Most requests for sales will be ignored.
- To keep everyone in the loop of all chart action, please refer to the iTunes and Spotify threads.

Twitter reported at 11:15 that apparently:

14. "CALM" (-13) - 0.8k (+0.5k)
- The above data includes sales + streams for Friday and only pure sales for Saturday. Pre-orders for new releases are also yet to be reported.

Posted by: SevenSeize 5th April 2020, 05:09 PM
wasn't expecting the Bill Withers songs to get that high! love Lean On Me and Ain't No Sunshine, rest in peace 
Posted by: dan.G 5th April 2020, 05:10 PM
was expecting similar positions to what Kenny Rogers had, surprised he has two top 20. would be nice if he could have at least one remain top 40 for Friday.
Posted by: mic1812 5th April 2020, 05:10 PM
Hope at least 1 Bill Withers song is here come Friday.
My fave is Lovely Day

Posted by: Mart!n 5th April 2020, 05:12 PM
Surprised, I was expecting that Top 10

I think Adore You is now my favourite ever 1D-associated song.
Posted by: IdentFan101 5th April 2020, 05:14 PM
Yeah, it's in the top 10 in Ireland.
Posted by: Bjork 5th April 2020, 05:14 PM
time to mute the radio, must be the most overplayed song ever, even the 1D loons might be tired of this by now
Posted by: FUTURE NOSTALGIA 5th April 2020, 05:15 PM
I'm so bored of adore you now 
Posted by: JosephStyles 5th April 2020, 05:15 PM
Streaming has a lower impact in First Look remember, I expect it'll be safely top 10 come Friday.
Posted by: isolAddy! 5th April 2020, 05:16 PM
Adore You I believe is #1 in US Pop Airplay.
Posted by: JosephStyles 5th April 2020, 05:16 PM
On the contrary, Adore You can stick around for as long as it wants *.* (I mean, this is Harry's first single to show HUGE longevity so I'm here for it lol)

You're too irrelevant to even bother cancelling x
Posted by: IdentFan101 5th April 2020, 05:19 PM
This should've been out of ACR now, The Box or Godzilla should've been here. I love Dance Monkey but it's been in the top 40 for ages now.

I told y'all this Drake song wouldn't go #1..
I do quite like it but it's not up there with his best so I'm glad it's not just going to #1 because of his name anyway.
Posted by: omrimayo 5th April 2020, 05:55 PM
Yay. Real flop. Top 3 wow. Flopping is real. Lol

It's already been #1 though
Let King Abel reign on.

i'd have expected Drake to debut at #1, with a song so blatantly engineered to be a huge hit. it's lazy and awful, suffice to say x
DEFY THE ODDS AGAIN ABEL *.*

I am so proud of Blinding Lights’ staying power at #1. The GP rewarding QUALITY music nowadays.
Posted by: dan.G 5th April 2020, 05:57 PM
Believe me this song won't be climbing to #1.
Posted by: Scene 5th April 2020, 05:58 PM
This! The Weeknd and Dua have made 2020 a great year for music so far. They need to collab tbh.
Posted by: IdentFan101 5th April 2020, 05:58 PM
Let King Abel reign on. Blinding Lights has been no. 1 for 7 non-consectutive weeks. Let Roses go back to no. 1 or other song go to no. 1! I like Blinding Lights but let other songs get to no. 1.
Posted by: Mart!n 5th April 2020, 06:00 PM
I'm loving the 3 consecutive #1s so far... 2020 seems to have improved on last year so far.

horrible sales in the album charts this week, hopefully Dua can make it, even if its with 10k sales only...

Surprised Little Mix's sales weren't enough to keep them top 20 on the first look chart, bot looking great for the longevity of the song
Hope Roses can keep the #2 spot and hod Drake off
Posted by: Scene 5th April 2020, 06:47 PM
Not a flop, but for sure an underperformance.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 5th April 2020, 07:16 PM
Not great for little mix but hooefully they can up during the week. Matt Lucas will fall but has he a chance of staying top 40 I wonder.
Posted by: 777666jason 5th April 2020, 08:21 PM
Not that bothered about ML being top 5 just increases his chance of being top 40 by week end plus it's not even long enough to annoy me,
wonder if Jake quickeden did enough to be top 40 tommorow, again wont mean anything because he will be nowhere near come Friday,
Little mix falling faster than I would like shame it feels bigger and stronger than bounce back
Posted by: omrimayo 5th April 2020, 08:31 PM
How?!?! Number 1 doing 70k and huge still. What a flop to be number 3?!?!
Posted by: Scene 5th April 2020, 08:34 PM
I didn't call it a flop. I explicitly said it wasn't a flop.
Posted by: sammy01 5th April 2020, 09:01 PM
You gotta admire Jake Quickenden's hustle on social media, he is knocking on every door to try and help get the song as much exposure as possible.
The song is trash but his efforts deserve a top 75 place come Friday.
Posted by: Dark Horse 6th April 2020, 10:42 AM
any updates on Dua Lipa’s sales?
Posted by: omrimayo 6th April 2020, 11:03 AM
On Monday update Dua is still #1 (6.2k), Lewis Capaldi is #2 (3.3k).
No Pre Orders (ATL) was added yet, so I guess they are gonna put gain weird number on a Friday to be number 1, it's a trend now or something. LOL
Posted by: Scene 6th April 2020, 11:43 AM
I'm not going to hold my breath for Dua being #1 this week.
Posted by: Jordan Lee 6th April 2020, 11:47 AM
Dua will easily manage it.
Only a surprise drop album release from someone A List or a massive icon dying will stop her.
Posted by: Bjork 6th April 2020, 12:00 PM
who knows maybe we'll see the same situation as last week, All Time Low's label can report 40,000 made-up cassette sales from their own website
and the OCC will lap it up...
the OCC needs to start asking for receipts
Posted by: Dark Horse 6th April 2020, 12:01 PM
No Pre Orders (ATL) was added yet, so I guess they are gonna put gain weird number on a Friday to be number 1, it's a trend now or something. LOL
is this what happened with 5SOS? they didnt count preorders? then how come the Monday numbers were frontloaded?
Posted by: iain 6th April 2020, 12:06 PM
All Time Low’s preorders will only come from iTunes as they haven’t released physically yet.
Posted by: omrimayo 6th April 2020, 12:07 PM
No no, they did, They had 17K pre orders, they "Managed" to sell another 13K copies on the last day on their site. Yeah... Right...
This is without the pre orders yet which is weird, I'm sure it's another tactics to see how many made up sales they will need.
Posted by: omrimayo 6th April 2020, 12:10 PM
But their site is full of bundles of cups, shirts and million other things.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 6th April 2020, 12:17 PM

Not looking so good for Bill Withers then, particularly nice to see Lovely Day in today's top 40 update but looks like there's no chance of it staying there unfortunately.
Looks like Matt Lucas is going to fall quite a bit by Friday too but should still make the top 40.

Really hope Falling can stay 17 (or higher) I’d love for Fine Line to stay top 5 too😁
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 6th April 2020, 02:41 PM
I hope Dua Lipa can hold on now to number 1, the top 40 alone has so many older albums now and so many greatest hits due to sales so low and people not out buying new music.
Posted by: Lomadz 6th April 2020, 02:59 PM
Drake still has it, wow. Dua definitely going to no1.

too bad about the Bill Withers tracks :/ huge drop from yesterday
drake seems pretty far from the weekend, thought it would be much closer
Posted by: Court 6th April 2020, 04:00 PM
I feel like Falling should not be above Break Up Song. Is this due to Amazon or a different streaming site that I’m not checking or is it just because the streaming is always a day behind?
Posted by: Bjork 6th April 2020, 04:14 PM
Falling and Break Up Song are doing identical figures on Spotify and iTunes, and been around similar positions on Apple Music
but on Amazon, Falling is doing much better, #20 now, while Break Up Song is #57 now
Posted by: troylovesmusic 6th April 2020, 04:18 PM
Drake I think could catch that up by Friday and get the number 1 tbh .
Posted by: Court 6th April 2020, 04:20 PM
but on Amazon, Falling is doing much better, #20 now, while Break Up Song is #57 now
Okay that explains it. I figured there was something I was missing but I wasn’t sure what it was since LM are slightly ahead on both Apple Music and Spotify.
Posted by: Hadji 6th April 2020, 04:27 PM
I just hope at least one of Bill’s tracks makes it into the top 40
Posted by: IANMUSIC24 6th April 2020, 04:58 PM
So happy Dua Lipa is finally getting the number 1 album, I really want break up song to be a hit. Why are Little mix struggling so much, Do we think they are unlikely to get a big hit again?
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 6th April 2020, 05:06 PM
Really disappointed Niall Horans album is falling so fast.
Posted by: Cqmerqn 6th April 2020, 05:21 PM
Ava #54!!!
Posted by: GTH 6th April 2020, 05:25 PM
Little Mix definitely still can get a big hit with the right promo. Unfortunately, this is a difficult time to do promo, so they are reliant on playlist support. I imagine the song will still be a respectable hit they sticks around the top 40 longer than bounce back did.
Posted by: burning up! 6th April 2020, 05:33 PM
at least there´s a greatest hits album doing well
Posted by: LewisGT 6th April 2020, 05:40 PM
I knew the Headie One/Fred Again album was going to under-perform after seeing it get trashed all over Twitter but I wasn't expecting it to do that bad
I hope DaBaby can somehow climb into the top 40 or we might be stuck with only 1 new entry depending on how well Matt Lucas can hold up.
Posted by: Bré 6th April 2020, 05:42 PM
I'm just happy that it looks safe for Bill to get his 3 songs all into the top 100, was never expecting any of them to make the top 40 ('Ain't No Sunshine' looks like it still has a chance of that anyway).
Yay for Dua coming to, barring something unexpected, safely rise to the #1 album this week as expected.
Posted by: Lukuzz 6th April 2020, 07:04 PM
Thought Jake Quickenden might have actually got in top 100. Don't mind the song and for a good cause
Posted by: Scene 6th April 2020, 07:16 PM
I feel like they are in that post-imperial phase period where their success relies on strong material and anything sub-par may get snubbed by streaming platforms and radio. I don't know what happened with Syco but I can't help but think they'd be more successful if they didn't switch to RCA.
Posted by: dj_tim_e 6th April 2020, 07:47 PM
The songs haven't been up to much for a long time now and, even though the current song is good it's just come out at the wrong time. Then again maybe they have their tried and tested-type remix featuring a rent-a-rapper ready to release in a few weeks.
Posted by: Jonjo 6th April 2020, 10:35 PM
Sam Hunt not even top 100 Booo

5sos wom no matter how you dress it up , you could say they won the battle she won war blah blah blah but they won last week
Posted by: M4NGO 7th April 2020, 02:14 PM
To be fair Little Mix have ridden the wave for a lot longer than I thought they would - the average successful phase for a pop band is about 5 years. It will be interesting to see where they go from here - do they keep churning out minor hits and moderately successful albums or do they call it a day and embark on solo careers?
Posted by: omrimayo 7th April 2020, 02:14 PM
Sure, they won and got the number 1, have I said something else? But in the long run? Not really a winning but sure, no "blah blah blah".
Posted by: Zak 7th April 2020, 02:16 PM
But which will have bigger sales overall? Which will have a bigger impact? I know most would prefer these things than winning whatever last week was. Nothing against 5SOS, the album is also good. I just think it's obvious that FN is performing a lot better in every way.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 7th April 2020, 02:18 PM
I think it'll depend on their concert sales. If they keep on selling out arenas like The Vamps, they'll be fine. (unless they of course want to break up)
Posted by: 777666jason 7th April 2020, 02:29 PM
You literally said I wonder who won
Posted by: 365 7th April 2020, 02:51 PM
I think they'll probably climb back into the top 20 next week tbh. I assume Radio 1 will B list them, they're slowly climbing on Spotify and airplay etc. They seem to be doing better than the likes of Rita, Ellie and Anne Marie (The latter who has had huge support).
Posted by: Spiceboy 7th April 2020, 03:18 PM
It's chart position clearly doesn't represent it's success then if it's going silver. I love the song wish it had gone top 10 it's my favourite song in a long time. I've never been a JB fan but since their come back I think they are fab
Posted by: isolAddy! 7th April 2020, 03:47 PM
Yes Dua, looks like the gap from #2 went from 2.9k to 3.6k 
and DL1 entering top 15

I'm total, not just in one week. You're so rude, that's funny. Bitter.
Posted by: JosephStyles* 7th April 2020, 04:06 PM
Is ANYONE going to be shocked at Dua selling more long term though 
Posted by: isolAddy! 7th April 2020, 04:15 PM
yeah 5sos vs dua is so last week lol.
We've been knew Dua is going to be a constant seller, hence her first album still charting 3 years!!!
Posted by: 1990 7th April 2020, 04:16 PM
They should have taken this year off and then come back in 2021 with a new album and a 10 years of Little Mix hits tour.
Posted by: isolAddy! 7th April 2020, 04:27 PM
since I am not a Little Mix follower, when they split up which one of them will be the first to pursue a solo career?
Or which one is actually the most popular?!!
Posted by: M4NGO 7th April 2020, 04:36 PM
Or which one is actually the most popular?!!
I don't think there's any one of them who's significantly more popular or is a better singer than the others tbh. If I had to guess one I'd say maybe Jesy?

'Fine Line' deserves better peak than #3. It is #4 on 17th week, never left top 10. Who would thought Harry will be stable like this. Its peak is a joke.
Posted by: ___∆___ 7th April 2020, 05:56 PM
This! It’s such a great album from start to finish and is worthy of a #1 especially with the longevity so far, hopefully with sales so low and the fact he does well on streaming it could get a chance over the coming weeks.
Posted by: JosephStyles* 7th April 2020, 06:00 PM
Even a new peak of #2 for Fine Line would be amazing if it gets the chance, #3 just feels so unfortunate!
Posted by: Bré 7th April 2020, 06:22 PM
I think there's definitely a good chance Harry will eventually get to #1 or #2 considering how consistent it's been since release. His longevity has been extremely impressive this era.

It's fallen to just outside the Top 40.
Posted by: Steve201 7th April 2020, 09:46 PM
It's actually an interesting debate because they are a group that is better as a collective rather than any one standinngnout with the XF of a Robbie Williams or Sporty Spice.
Posted by: miichaelking21 7th April 2020, 09:49 PM
I still find it so odd that people are so quick to brand Little Mix’s recent chart performance as a flop?
even based on its second week chart performance, it far exceeds the peak of the recent singles of acts people will happily brand successful like Anne Marie, Rita Ora or Ellie Goulding?
A top 10 debut, especially for a pop act in their 9th year, is nothing to turn your nose up at - how many other girl groups were still creating Top 10 singles that far into their career?

The interesting thing about Little Mix is that there aren't really any comparable girl groups. Every one I can think of that even managed a 9th year did so through personnel changes (Sugababes), a long break (Girls Aloud) or on the back of reunion hype (Spice Girls, Bananarama, Destiny's Child). With Little Mix, they are in waters that have been uncharted for decades. Once the X Factor hype was done they managed a pretty successful run to 2015, managed to get bigger by album 3 which is almost unheard of, then bigger still by album 4. It took until their 5th "era" to start making the time-honoured mistake of getting above their station and thinking they could do better without the teams that put them where they were. And, as is often the case, it has failed to impress.
I personally think that Little Mix were made in the right period of time, were able to use X Factor promo while the show was at its peak a la Cheryl and had the right people making the material for them. Now they don't have X Factor/Syco to fall back on. And without decent music to fall back on, I think their days are numbered. This isn't a Little Mix bash by the way. It's so depressing that the only remaining British girl group that's really visible is relatively floppy because I used to LOVE Little Mix, even before everyone else jumped on the bandwagon during the Black Magic period.
As much as I think Louis Walsh is a bit of a knob, he was right when he said that a pop group is only as good as its last 2 singles and, Little Mix's last 2 singles were a dull Christmas turd and a cheap non-song with a bad 80s interpolation. It's quite sad really.
With reference to the 3 solo females you mentioned at the start, none of them have shown longevity and consistency chart-wise in a way that Little Mix have. So, I don't think that people are unfairly branding Little Mix's current single as a flop to be honest, but, that's just my opinion. Each to their own and all that

I don't think anyone has branded it a flop? Just that they're well past their imperial phase. The debate is whether they'll ever have a big hit again.
Posted by: Gerald 7th April 2020, 11:35 PM
I think Little Mix could get another big hit if they release another catchy song like Touch (their best single/song to date). Break Up Song is a step in the right direction but the hook could have been stronger. I have no doubt their new album will do well though.
Posted by: jszmiles 7th April 2020, 11:53 PM
how on Earth Ed Sheeran is at #12 with his PREVIOUS album? I can't believe people in UK still stream this.
Posted by: Jason 8th April 2020, 12:37 AM
So happy to see Powfu top 10 and BENEE top 20. 
Posted by: Jonjo 8th April 2020, 12:59 AM
Wow this kinda talk about Break Up Song is a bit premature, no? It's doing similarly to Bounce Back with MUCH less instant support from streaming, radio playlisting. It was straight to A on R1 the week of release as well as some Capital support etc.. - so far BUS has huge Capital support but is currently only on C-list of R1 the week after release (C-list never has much effect), various TV performances. All it needs is that extra push on Spotify (which it's slowly getting/increasing on) considering a performance is more or less not an option atm.
The song seems to have been received really well in general and it will be a rare case for a pre-album Little Mix release, where they have to build on everything as opposed to getting it instantly. It's trajectory is quite similar to Gaga's latest release atm - just minus the video (which has been scrapped due to current situation - although they're working on something). A great/solid debut with a 10 place (about 11 or 12 for LM?) 2nd week drop but stabilising as airplay and streaming build. It's holding strong on iTunes (yeah iTunes is meaningless nowadays, I know) but it's showing that the audience is receptive to it, at least. It's holding up incredibly well in the 13-15 region on Apple Music (with occasional slips to about 18 - but recovering relatively quickly) due to the support there, but they just need to replicate that support on Spotify (which I assume is still the biggest streaming platform?) and they started that yesterday by being moved up from 24 to 18 yesterday on Hot Hits.
I can see this sticking around longer than BB did at least. They'll need to follow this up with something just as strong/stronger and they'll be back to where they were just 4 singles ago.
All just my two cents ofc
Posted by: GTH 8th April 2020, 06:31 AM
All just my two cents ofc
Definitely think this will do better than Bounce Back, much more commercial pop sounding. I expect a similar run to Never Really Over if it does actually get more support on Spotify. As with that song, if the follow up is poor, then it won’t do much for bringing support back. 100% a step in the right direction again after the last 2 singles. I hope for more pop with the next album.

I agree with all this. I think their follow-up singles to BUS will determine how much support they'll receive in the future. Personally I'd love for them to get into the studio with MNEK - he produced Touch and IDGAF. Or Calvin Harris maybe.

And they are going to get worse as the weeks go on
Posted by: Rob 8th April 2020, 08:40 AM
The hyperbole in this thread over Little Mix is quite tiring to read. They're still way outperforming their peers and while they may potentially be past their peak, they're far from flopping. They're also still selling incredible ticket numbers. Please give it a rest so we can get back to the topic of the thread.
Posted by: Scene 8th April 2020, 09:09 AM
There's no hyperbole, it's just a discussion.
Posted by: aidan755 8th April 2020, 09:40 AM
Yeah, maybe because she’s shamelessly tagging on new songs every 5 minutes. First God Is A Dancer (which isn’t even her song) and now Boyfriend.

If playlist songs did not count for the album charts, Mabels album would close to 0 sales
Posted by: Liam.k. 8th April 2020, 11:50 AM
I don't think they'll drop that much more now. Most of the albums are supported pretty much only by streams and they're not likely to change that drastically. The #10 should remain around ~3.5k and #40 around ~1.5k.
Posted by: miichaelking21 8th April 2020, 01:12 PM
Radio is just starting to get behind the track, so I think that’ll now shake things up and make things interesting hopefully.
I’m not sure we’ve ever seen a girl group have to face such a challenge as switch from the sales market; to a heavily dominated steaming world - and still hold up.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 8th April 2020, 03:11 PM
Sales are low but the album chart is actually interesting seeing so many old albums appear highly.
Also just seen Spain has suspended their chart saying it’s irrelevant.
I really hope the UK doesn’t do this! The chart is one of my only things I look forward too and it provides such an escape from what’s going on outside.
Posted by: JosephStyles* 8th April 2020, 03:12 PM
Spain's album chart only includes pure sales it seems, so that'll be why. Ours at least has streaming keeping it afloat!

Matt Lucas dropped 12 spots in one day. Given his lack of streams is he 100% guaranteed to stay top 40 on Friday?

Fantastic!! I suppose it's heading for Top 40 with the new iTunes and Apple Music peaks
Posted by: JosephStyles* 8th April 2020, 04:02 PM
He'd only have to sell a few hundred more copies to have sold more than #40 last week, so I think it could happen but it's not guaranteed yet
Posted by: LewisGT 8th April 2020, 04:04 PM
Looks like Blinding Lights, Roses, Physical & Don't Start Now are all increasing in sales this week then.

They won't be able to make Top 5 but it would be the first time since 1982 if the album managed it. It will be the first time its been Top 10 since 1992.For a minute I thought you were talking about Gaga or Dua or someone. That's the typical Buzzjack use of "Queen"
Also just seen Spain has suspended their chart saying it’s irrelevant.
I really hope the UK doesn’t do this! The chart is one of my only things I look forward too and it provides such an escape from what’s going on outside.
I really can't see this happening in the UK, sales are low but not quite that low and they should stay at this sort of level over the next few weeks or however long the lockdown continues for.
Posted by: ___∆___ 8th April 2020, 05:08 PM
Report from MW -
After narrowly missing out on the top spot in last week's chart, Future Nostalgia holds a commanding lead - selling 10,185 copies, almost double that of Lewis Capaldi's Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent, which sits at No.2 on sales of 5,674.
Reigning chart-topper Calm (1,934 sales) by 5 Seconds Of Summer drops to No.12, while Thundercat's It Is What It Is is the highest new entry at No.13.
Blinding Lights by The Weeknd is all but assured of retaining its status as the UK's No.1 single, moving 50,694. Second place Roses by Saint Jhn is a considerable way back on 37,956 sales, while Drake is straight in at No.3 with Toosie Slide (37,787 sales).
Dua Lipa again has three singles in the Top 10: Physical (3-4, 28,170 sales), Don't Start Now (4-5, 26,220 sales) and Break My Heart (6-7, 18,785 sales).

All Time Low are actually a fair bit higher than I'd have predicted considering their lack of physicals tbh.

It wouldn't surprise me actually if they get a new peak once the physicals release.
Posted by: Bré 🐠 8th April 2020, 10:25 PM
For sure, I think they'll still manage a top 10 minimum when the physicals come out, similar to Thom Yorke.

HMV have started a huge Easter flash sale today - some of the lowest prices I’ve seen from them on vinyl (Loads £10 or less - they’ve got Dua’s new album on vinyl for £13.99 too). Should give the physical market a helping hand https://store.hmv.com/store/hmv-offers/vinyl-offers?sort=sale_price%20asc&quantity=24&page=1&view=grid
Posted by: Dark Horse 9th April 2020, 08:01 AM
you should take into consideration the current comical sales, when 3k is enough to guarantee a top 10 placing...
Posted by: Bjork 9th April 2020, 08:59 AM
Just read that Spain has stopped the album Charts for the time being cos of the corona situation :/
In a statement issued to Billboard, Promusicae said that sales of physical music “by mail or messenger could almost serve as testimony to the fact that records are not essential items”. They added that physical sales are “almost irrelevant” at present.
Posted by: Lomadz 9th April 2020, 09:45 AM
That doesn't make sense, the climate means sales are low for everyone, not just them. If sales were higher everywhere then their sales would be higher
Posted by: Dark Horse 9th April 2020, 11:26 AM
well not really, because most of 5SOS album sales rely on crazed fans buying multiple cassette copies and CD bundles which only helped them in the first week, their 2nd week drop just proved how indifferent is the general public to their music, and their overall sales tally will further prove that....
Posted by: ___∆___ 9th April 2020, 11:34 AM
TBH I think 5SOS have held up really well - their official online store has been out of stock of all formats since Friday last week so this week it’s only streaming/downloads and any physicals from online stores like HMV etc.,
Niall dropped from 1-12 a few weeks ago, most pop acts with a passionate fan base and encouragement of multi buying drop heavily in the subsequent weeks.
Posted by: JosephStyles* 9th April 2020, 12:36 PM
This is correct - everyone's being affected by low sales. 5SOS aren't somehow immune.

If BL can fortuitously keep managing to get the odd increase every 2/3 weeks it's not inconceivable it'll reign at the top for many more weeks and months to come. Unlikely, granted but not unmanageable.

I hope Thundercat can hold in to the top20, though it would be nice to see Becky Hill finally get a top20 peak with her album.
Becky Hill and Jax Jones album's are basically single's compilations, that's why there are doing well at this time... but we still stan.

The Weeknd’s streams increasing massively for no reason
Posted by: SKOB 9th April 2020, 04:47 PM
I lowkey love that how new songs are attached to Becky Hill's and Jax Jones' albums... they will continue to chart forever.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 9th April 2020, 04:49 PM
Yeah, but it's not really for no reason is it?
I wish you'd engage your brain, even just once.
Posted by: Hadji 9th April 2020, 05:07 PM
I’d understand an increase like that if it was to do with the album. I doubt tiktok is the reason

do we know where Little Mix are at?
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 9th April 2020, 05:12 PM
The song is literally EVERYWHERE because of that, in an ubiquitous way it wasn't previously.

All songs are doing like 50K daily more than last week on Spotify not sure why
not just Blinding Light, everybody else too
Posted by: legendsglory 9th April 2020, 05:41 PM
19 i believe.

We've just had a few days of really nice weather, presumably it's encouraging people to stick playlists on?
Posted by: JosephStyles* 9th April 2020, 05:45 PM
Correct!
Posted by: Bjork 9th April 2020, 05:56 PM
But not sure Blinding Lights climbing is a Tik Tok effect, don't think so
cos as said above all songs are doing much more than last week on Spotify, not just Blinding Lights,
even songs that have been around long like Dance Monkey or Lonely
moreover, Tik Tok effects are usually global and in the US Spotify Blinding Lights has been doing worst than the previous week

So many albums these days only selling on debut week.
Posted by: ___∆___ 10th April 2020, 08:07 AM
The album charts have literally turned into how the singles charts were years ago when physicals were still a thing. Everything is focused on week 1 and it seems anything after that is a bonus.
I feel now with album build up and tracks released for streaming some albums are essentially over on week 1 - must be really disappointing for an artist that’s worked hard on producing an album to see it go 6-93-Out.
Posted by: Bjork 10th April 2020, 08:15 AM
I think for indie artists it almost makes no sense to release the album without a physical cos it's not a fair fight
Mabel and Jax Jones will get 3000 sales a week from playlists alone without a single person streaming their album
Indie artists have zero songs on playlists so they really cannot compete when you need to stream an album 85 times to get 1 sale
Indie artists that were doing a 3-56 run, now will do a 39-OUT run :/
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 10th April 2020, 08:22 AM
Well it depends if they care about chart positions or not - ATL were saying to the OCC that they just wanted the album out for the fans.
Their overall sales will likely be about the same once the physicals are out anyway.
Posted by: Bjork 10th April 2020, 08:44 AM
yes but one thing is what the band says and a different thing is what the label thinks
Posted by: krissykins 10th April 2020, 09:19 AM
With the extra efforts pulled last week (voice notes and cocktails) and the Weekend having 90 items of merch available, record companies still care about album chart positions, only for week 1.
