BuzzJack Music Forum _ UK Charts _ Prediction:- Coldplay 'Everyday Life'
Posted by: gavindeejay Nov 18 2019, 05:59 PM
So Coldplay's eighth studio album 'everyday Life' is out this Friday (22nd November). It's a double album and is more experimental according to the band.
What do you think the first week sales will be? Their last album 'A Head Full Of Dreams' had a first week tally of 235,975 in December 2015, meanwhile 'Ghost Stories opened with 168,048 in May 2014.
I don't think there's been as much hype for this album. 'Orphans' hasn't exactly set the charts on fire, but they do have a big following and a good fanbase so I'm going to say 125-150k.

It's up against Robbie's Christmas album and a Rod Stewart philharmonic GH collection also out Friday.
50-75k. Won't be as big as Westlife's sales.

I think around 75k as the Xmas shoppers will be buying by then.

Wonder if Robbie will be no1. No hype for this.
Posted by: common sense Nov 18 2019, 06:36 PM
Am wondering too if Robbie can beat Coldplay.
Posted by: Dark Horse Nov 18 2019, 06:37 PM
i think 45k sounds more reasonable, sales are down 75% from 2015 and besides the lead single was a flop, so i dont think it will sell more than 50k...
Posted by: Jordan Lee Nov 18 2019, 06:49 PM
Around 80K.
I agree on the no hype compared to their other albums but I feel they should still manage #1. I think streaming will be higher for them than it will be for Robbie. I don’t think Robbies album will peak sales wise this week too with it being a Christmas album.

I'd say minimum 100K, even Liam Gallagher managed that, sure Coldplay are still the biggest band in the world right now

Cant see Robbie doing more than 40-50k for an Xmas album but you never know.
he starts his promo on Radio 2 with Zoe Ball on Friday
I think it will be
1 Coldplay
2 Robbie
3 Rod
14 Kylie? She has promo on G Norton but this 3 CD special edition may not sell that much this time around. Would love her to get higher!

87k.

Anything above 100k is a victory for them so voted 100-125k
Posted by: Steve201 Nov 19 2019, 11:55 PM
Went for 50-75k don't know the album sales these days!!

I'd be pretty disappointed if they didn't manage to do 100k like the majority of people seem to be predicting, I know they don't have a really big hit single but a new Coldplay album is still a pretty big deal.

As Coldplay fan, I’m predicting 100-125k
Disappointed lead single success
But it’s first Coldplay album in 4 years. So we have chance, Everyday Life is most anticipated album of 2019
Posted by: digitalking Nov 22 2019, 09:44 AM
I’m guessing around 80k
Posted by: Sid_ Nov 22 2019, 01:45 PM
75k.

I think it'll do similarly to the album with Charlie Brown, the one that flopped and was beaten by Florence and The Machine's Ceremonials.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey Nov 22 2019, 01:59 PM
It debuted at #1, Ceremonials was released a week later.
Posted by: Big Boobs Vjay! Nov 22 2019, 02:03 PM
Oh. Well the same as that then, slightly lower sales than it, with 1 week at the top.
Posted by: M4NG0 Nov 22 2019, 02:43 PM
And yet two people have still voted for >250k. Are they having a laugh?
I went for 75-100k.
Posted by: Bjork Nov 22 2019, 02:46 PM
after hearing the album, I'm downgrading my prediction, has zero replayability, you hear it once you never wanna hear it again, really really poor, lack of ideas, lack of cohesion, I'd rate a 2/10, no wonder they're already talking about the next record, in 3 months they're gonna pretend this never existed
Posted by: WhoOdyssey Nov 22 2019, 02:50 PM
The general consenus from what I've been seeing is the exact opposite of that though.
Posted by: Bjork Nov 22 2019, 03:01 PM
I'¨haven't seen any reviews, wonder if anyone cares, wonder if Pitchfork will even review it
Posted by: WhoOdyssey Nov 22 2019, 03:09 PM
There's loads of reviews and loads of thoughts on social media 
Posted by: Bré Nov 22 2019, 03:12 PM
Yeah the consensus very much seems to be that this is their best album for quite a while, you're pretty much the only person I've seen saying it's bad lol ~ It has a score of 73 on Metacritic so far which is actually just barely their 2nd highest ever ('A Rush Of Blood To The Head' has 80, 'Parachutes'/'X&Y'/'Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends' all have 72 and the rest of their post-VLV stuff is in the 60s). Of course that number might still change but it's undeniably had a better reception than their last 3 albums. (It also has their 2nd highest user score on Metacritic behind AROBTTH for what it's worth).
Posted by: Steve201 Nov 22 2019, 08:12 PM
I listened to the album on the bus home today and the thing about it is it's not commercial or MOR. It's very experimental and will go down well with critics. I don't think i will return to it much again but I like commercial Coldplay that's why.
