Sales Report: W/E 18th April 2024

Clementine Douglas - Happier 23 15,249 Benson Boone - Slow It Down 26 14,449 Bakar - Hell N Back [total: 845,983] 29 13,672 J. Cole, Bas & Central Cee - H.Y.B. 36 10,867 Richy Mitch & the Coal Miners - Evergreen 37 10,835 David Guetta & OneRepublic - I Don't Wanna Wait 38 10,363 J. Cole - 7 Minute Drill 39 10,339 Artemas - if u think i'm pretty 43 9,859 Tyla, Gunna & Skillibeng - Jump 49 9,025 Nathan Dawe - We Ain't Here for Long 53 8,734 J. Cole - Crocodile Tearz 59 8,037 d4vd - Feel It 64 7,811 Chappell Roan - Good Luck, Babe! 67 7,667 Benson Boone - Cry QUOTE How sweet it is: Bouncing Beyonce?’s Texas Hold ‘Em (1-3, 45,999 sales) from pole position, and blocking Benson Boone’s Beautiful Things (2-2, 51,533 sales) from reclaiming it, Too Sweet becomes the first ever No.1 for Hozier. AlbumsTaken from Hozier’s Unheard EP, Too Sweet jumps 4-1 with consumption surging 46.35% week-on-week to 61,030 units (1,004 digital downloads, 60,026 sales-equivalent streams), to surpass the No.2 peak of his 2014 debut smash, Take Me To Church. A 34-year-old singer/songwriter from County Wicklow, Hozier is the first act from the Republic Of Ireland to have a No.1 single since 2006, when Westlife topped for the 14th and last time with The Rose. Before Hozier, the last Irish solo act to have a No.1 was Ronan Keating, who topped in 2002 with Tomorrow Never Comes. Full name Andrew John Hozier-Byrne, Hozier is one of seven writers of Too Sweet. Surprisingly, he is only the third solo artist born in Ireland to have a hand in writing their own No.1. The first was Gilbert O’Sullivan, who topped with Clair and Get Down – both of which he wrote in their entirety – within a 21-week purple patch at the end of 1972 and the start of 1973. The second was Enya who co-penned her 1988 No.1, Orinoco Flow. Cheers!: Too Sweet is the second No.1 in a row with ‘whiskey’ in its lyrics, following Texas Hold ‘Em – and the Top 10’s only new entry Austin by Dasha, also mentions whiskey. After three straight weeks at No.15 – something that (appropriately) 15 songs have done before with none of them making it to four weeks – Austin takes a big upwards lurch, jumping to No.8, its consumption increasing for the seventh week in a row to 29,213 units. I Like The Way You Kiss Me continues to grow for Artemas, climbing 6-5 (41,449 sales). The 24-year-old from Oxfordshire lands his second Top 40 hit as earlier release If U Think I’m Pretty jumps 52-39 (10,339 sales). The rest of the Top 10: Lose Control (3-4, 43,909 sales) by Teddy Swims, End Of Beginning (7-6, 34,125 sales) by Djo, We Can’t Be Friends (Wait For Your Love) (5-7, 32,363 sales) by Ariana Grande plus re-entries Scared To Start (12-9, 25,415 sales) by Michael Marcagi and Stick Season (11-10, 23,745 sales) by Noah Kahan. Jolene (8-16, 18,745 sales) and II Most Wanted (with Miley Cyrus 9-17, 18,208 sales) both exit the Top 10 for Beyonce?. Rapper J Cole’s eighth album, Might Delete Later, provides three of the four highest new entries, namely H.Y.B. (No.29, 18,672 sales), 7 Minute Drill (No.38, 10,363 sales) and Crocodile Tearz (No.53, 8,734 sales). He has now had 23 Top 75 hits, of which 14 have made the Top 40. H.Y.B. is a collaboration with Bas and London rapper Central Cee, providing Bas’ first hit and Central Cee’s 31st. Despite their American accents and credentials, Cole was born in Germany, Bas in France. Heavily influenced by O-Zone’s 2004 No.3 smash Dragonstea Din Tei (Mi Ya Hi), I Don’t Wanna Wait debuts at No.37 (10,835 Sales) for David Guetta & OneRepublic. It is Guetta’s 62nd Top 75 (49th Top 40) hit, OneRepublic’s 14th Top 75 (10th Top 40) hit. While his former No.1 Beautiful Things holds at No.2, Slow It Down climbs 27-23 (15,249 sales) and his fifth hit, Cry, debuts at No.67 (7,667 sales) for Benson Boone. All three are from his first album, Fireworks & Rollerblades, which debuts at No.16 this week. Also new to the Top 75: Feel It (No.59, 8,037 sales), the third hit for Texan teen D4vd; and Good Luck, Babe! (No.64, 7,811 sales), the first hit for 26-year-old American singer/songwriter Kayleigh Amstutz as Chappell Roan. Into the Top 20 on only its third chart appearance, Mark Ambor’s first hit, Belong Together climbs 22-14 (19,470 sales). No.25 last October, Jungle’s Back On 74 revived when they performed it at the BRIT Awards earlier this month. Gaining further impetus from TikTok, it returned to its peak position of No.25 last week and now jumps to No.19 (16,899 sales). Although all of the London band’s four albums have made the Top 10, Back On 74 is their only Top 75 single. It is taken from the latest, Volcano, which reached No.3 last August and which is enjoying a gentle eruption in interest at the moment, with a 28.77% upswing week-on-week to 1,184 units bringing it back into the Top 200 at No.187. Back On 74 is on track to become Jungle’s most consumed track, with a to-date tally of 268,516 units. Ahead of it is only Busy Earnin’ – my favourite single of 2014, it anyone is interested - which never quite made the published chart, peaking at No.103, and has thus far achieved consumption of 442,972 units. A year to the week since it peaked at No.20, Hell N Back, the viral first hit for Bakar - 30-year-old Londoner Abubakar Baker Shariff-Farr – is getting renewed love from TikTok, with growing consumption for the sixth week in a row powering its re-entry to the chart at No.26 (14,449 sales). Originally released in 2019, the track’s current resurgence is due mostly to the 2023 remix casting it as a duet between Bakar and American R&B singer Summer Walker. To-date consumption of Hell N Back stands at 845,983 units. On its 17th appearance in the Top 75 (27th in the Top 100), Evergreen climbs 38-36 (10,867 sales) for Richy Mitch & The Coal Miners, passing the No.37 peak it established four weeks ago. There are also new peaks for: Birds In The Sky (20-18, 17,703 sales) by NewEra, Happier (26-21, 16,453 sales) by The Blessed Madonna & Clementine Douglas, Jump (62-43, 9,859 sales) by Tyla, Gunna & Skillibeng and We Ain’t Here For Long (55-49, 9,025 sales) by Nathan Dawe. Overall singles consumption is up 1.80% week-on-week to 28,394,107 units, 15.16% above same week 2023 consumption of 24,656,954 units. Paid-for sales are down 2.89% week-on-week at 268,313 – 0.35% below same week 2023 sales of 269,247. 01 21,706 The Libertines - All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade [10,183 CDs, 8,601 vinyl, 370 cassettes, 1,371 downloads, 1,181 streaming] 02 14,879 Beyoncé - COWBOY CARTER 03 12,546 The K's - I Wonder If the World Knows? 04 9,505 Conan Gray - Found Heaven 05 8,669 Olivia Rodrigo - GUTS 06 8,665 The Weeknd - The Highlights 07 7,933 J.

The follow-up to Anthems For Doomed Youth – which debuted and peaked at No.3 (23,620 sales) in 2015 – it returns them to the top of the chart for the first time since their eponymous second album sold 72,189 copies to open at No.1 in 2004. Their other studio set, 2002 debut Up The Bracket, sold 7,576 copies debuting and peaking at No.35. All four members of The Libertines – Carl Barât (45), Pete Doherty (45), John Halsall (43) and Gary Powell (54) – have been with the group since pre-fame, although they have disbanded and reformed on two separate occasions. That self-titled 2004 album achieved sales of 183 units in the latest frame, enough for it to become their first album to pass the half million sales mark, with to-date consumption of 500,140 units. Nearly seven years after the release of their first single, Sarajevo, indie/rock/punk band The K’s, from Earlestown in Merseyside, have finally got round to releasing an album, specifically I Wonder if The World Knows?, which makes a strong debut at No.3 (12,546 sales). The K’s members are Ryan Breslin (30, lead guitar), James Boyle (28, vocals and guitar), Dexter Baker (28, bass) and Nathan Peers (23, drums). Californian singer/songwriter Conan Gray, 25, has his highest charting album yet, debuting at No.4 (9,505 sales) with third release, Found Heaven, having reached No.30 with 2020 debut Kid Krow and No.8 with 2022 follow-up Superache. Kid Krow has to-date consumption of 76,609 units, and Superache 70,392. Gray’s only hit single, Heather – from Kid Krow - reached No.17 in 2020, and has achieved to-date consumption of 796,840 units. Rapper J Cole scores his seventh Top 40 and fourth Top 10 album with Might Delete Later (No.7, 7,933 sales). It follows consecutive No.2 albums with 2018’s KOD and 2021’s The Off-Season, both of which topped 20k first week sales here - KOD opening with 20,749 and The Off-Season with 21,050. Feeder’s 12th studio release, Black/Red, is their 15th chart album, and 11th Top 10 entry, debuting at No.8 (7,358 sales). Originally a quartet, they are currently a duo, comprising Welshman Grant Nicholas (who also writes all the songs) and Japanese colleague Taka Hirose, who have both been members of the band for more than 29 years. The rest of the Top 10: Cowboy Carter (1-2, 14,879 sales) by Beyonce, Guts (2-5, 8,669 sales) by Olivia Rodrigo, The Highlights (3-6, 8,665 sales) by The Weeknd, Eternal Sunshine (4-9, 7,182 sales) by Ariana Grande and Stick Season (5-10, 7,019 sales) by Noah Kahan. The bottom half of last week’s Top 10 all take their leave of the top tier. They are: 50 Years: Don’t Stop (7-14, 5,445 sales) by Fleetwood Mac, 1989 (Taylor’s Version) (10-15, 5,140 sales), Diamonds (9-17, 5,029 sales) by Elton John, We Don’t Trust You (6-23, 4,540 sales) by Future & Metro Boomin and – no longer in the Top 200 – last week’s No.8, Interplay (628 sales) by Ride. It is the busiest week of 2024 for new entries with 12 in the Top 75. Among them is space rock legends Hawkwind’s 36th studio album and 28th chart entry, Stories From Time And Space (No.51, 2,499 sales). Still fronted by 1969 founder member, Dave Brock, now 82, the quintet also includes 67-year-old Richard Chadwick and 65-year-old Tim Lewis. The ages of its two other members – Magnus Martin and Doug MacKinnon – have proved elusive. Hawkwind’s labelmates at Cherry Red Records – itself 46 in a couple of months – Cock Sparrer also nearly made the Top 75 this week. Their eighth and final album, Hand On Heart, falls short of that target but manages to make the Top 100, debuting at No.96 (1,787 sales). In so doing, it makes the East Enders the oldest group to start its Top 100 album chart career. Originally a glam rock cover band formed by four schoolboys in 1972, Cock Sparrer went on to become one of the top punk bands, despite their lack of chart success. They have gone on hiatus twice along the way but original members Colin McFaull (vocals), Mick Beaufoy (lead guitar), Steve Burgess (bass) and Steve Bruce (drums), have been ever-presents on their records. Bruce and Beaufoy are both 69, Burgess is 68 and McFaull is 67, while their fifth member – ‘new boy’ Daryl Smith (rhythm guitar) who joined a mere 32 years ago - is 51, meaning their average age is 65. Cock Sparrer also make their first ever chart appearance in Germany this week, with Hand On Heart making an impressive debut at No.13. Also new to the Top 75: Only God Was Above Us (No.11, 6,964 sales), the fifth Top 20 album (their entire output) by New York indie trio Vampire Weekend, whose last release – 2019’s Father of The Bride – was their top title, reaching No.2; Ohio Players (No.13, 5,484 sales), the 12th studio album by Ohio duo The Black Keys and their ninth chart album ending a sequence of five Top 10 entries in a row; Fireworks & Rollerblades (No.16, 5,044 sales), the first album by 21-year-old Benson Boone, and home to his recent No.1 single Beautiful Things; A La Sala (No.18, 4,999 sales), the fifth chart entry for Texan trio Khruangbin; Humble As The Sun (No.22, 4,635 sales), the second release and chart entry by self-styled DIY grime/punk duo Bob Vylan from London; and Bryson Tiller (No.34, 3,471 sales), the eponymous fourth album and fourth chart entry by the Kentucky singer/rapper. Seventeen artist albums had consumption in excess of 5,000 units – the highest tally for 16 weeks. One compilation also crossed that threshold - Now That’s What I Call Music! 117, which debuts atop the compilation chart on sales of 10,351 copies (9,141 CDs, 1,210 digital downloads). That’s 6.61% above the 9,709 units that earned its immediate predecessor, Now! 116, a No.1 debut last November but 5.44% below the 10,946 sales its 2023 equivalent, Now! 114, sold on debut last April. Overall album sales are up 2.11% week-on-week at 2,384,366, 15.28% above same week 2023 sales of 2,068,404. Physical product accounts for 330,121 sales, 13.85% of the total.

Sales are in! Extra Hozier sales came from here: https://www.musicweek.com/labels/read/as-ho...nd-depth/089589
The H.Y.B. figure is obviously wrong in the article - taken a guess that it must mean 13k and not 18k? |

Now 117 selling more than what Now 116 did in its first week even with the latter being released near to Christmas. I wonder why but I do reckon that Now 117 would’ve had slightly more sales had it been released before Easter

I wasn't expecting Hozier to quite be 10k ahead. Considering in the last update he was 3k ahead of Benson, he really soared!

Amazing for Hozier, that’s two chart toppers I’ve really liked this year now. It’s been stuck in my head the last week. Also great to see Back on 74 manage a new peak in the top 20.
Beyoncé was quite unlucky to not get a second week at No1, those aren’t bad sales for week two. |

Great second week sales for Beyoncé. Hopefully the 3rd week sales will stay stable or increase a little with the album now available in other places. Maybe even have a chance to rise back to #1?

Incredible sales gap for Hozier. Looks pretty certain he'll remain No 1 next week then. Week after he might, might even have a chance the all consuming pop phenomena that is Taylor Swift.

Wow, Now sales up on the winter edition!
Must admit it’s a much stronger album overall, with an opening track that makes more sense (that Calvin/Sam track for Now 116 really didn’t). Solid sales in both charts, 7k for a top ten album, 32k for No.7 in the singles, I’m sure a year ago that was enough for No.3. Some strong releases about right now. And of course it’s great to see Hozier (and an Irish act!) finally get a No.1 single. |

Breakdown of sales for The K's:
QUOTE The K’s were actually at No.2 behind The Libertines for much of the week, but Beyonce’s streaming for Cowboy Carter proved just too strong. The group from Earlestown, Merseyside still managed a strong result in third place with 12,546 sales (10,778 physical copies, 925 downloads and 843 sales-equivalent streams), according to the Official Charts Company.
