QUOTE(Hadji @ Oct 22 2016, 07:15 PM) I swear supermarkets are trying to champion Bublé for #1 album. Sainsbury's were stocking up on deluxe editions of his album but not Gaga's and Tesco and Asda are probably doing the same Supermarkets are stocking Buble because it's more likely to sell among a lot more age groups than Gaga funny enough! |

I genuinely don't understand how Elvis Presley albums can continue to be so popular...? Wasn't there one just last year or something too??
Genuinely if someone could go into who is buying them that would be cool. Is it just older people forgetting they already have a copy of the last one? |

This one and the other last year have different melodies as they're with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Obviously all different tracks to last year's release. Don't think just older people are buying them. |

Any nonsense posts about videos not on Youtube and how it effects the chart position / conspiracy theories etc. will be deleted. We got already the point and we don't want to read it again and again and again.
If anyone has a problem with it, please contact a chart mod. Thank you

It's way too early for Christmas songs at the moment
 We should probably start seeing them climb iTunes by mid November once the John Lewis advert signals the start of the holiday season (who do we think will do the ad song this year? I can't see them getting another nobody in as last years one was a flop) |

I wouldn't call it a total flop (did peak at #11 right?) but after Gabrielle Aplin and Lilly Allen both hit #1, it was a bit of an underperformance...

It dropped off the face of the charts afterwards though and I'd say that #11 was a bit bad considering the level of hype and advertisement the John Lewis ad songs receive. |

QUOTE(360Jupiter @ Oct 23 2016, 03:07 AM) Genuinely if someone could go into who is buying them that would be cool. Is it just older people forgetting they already have a copy of the last one? Well firstly, your comment suggests that you think that Elvis only recorded a handful of songs in his life and that this album must therefore be essentially the same as last years. Elvis recorded and released about 45 original albums in his career, and hundreds and hundreds of songs. Last year's and this year's albums are tracks that have been recorded with a philharmonic orchestra, so they have quite a different sound to the original recordings of the songs. These orchestral albums could literally be released every year until the 2050s without repeating songs. As to why people are buying them- Elvis is the most iconic, most popular and most successful solo artist in history... that has a lot to do with it. CD albums are now Christmas presents more than anything else. About 20% of the UK's population (more than 10 million people) would have been teenagers when Elvis was alive, so for many people it would make an ideal Christmas present. Add to that there are many millions of people in their 20's, 30's and 40's who also love or at least enjoy the music of Elvis, there's no reason why they wouldn't enjoy this album. Radio 2 is the most listened to station in the UK by far, and they have heavily promoted and played both this and last year's album. Finally, it's a simple fact that people like shiny new things, and casual music fans who have a passing interest in Elvis or want to 'discover' Elvis, are much more likely to go out and buy a new CD that is on the front shelves of shops, has radio play and tv adverts, than try to choose from 1000's of online Elvis track options or root through a CD shop for a random Elvis greatest hits from years ago. Hope that's enough reasons as to why this album might sell a few hundred-thousand copies. |

That makes sense tbh. I only get cds for presents now too with the exception of my fave fave who I didn't get.
Re John Lewis, the advert and song last year were pretty atrocious. Neither was popular and therefore both flopped. I think they will bring in a bigger name and with a better song and campaign. |

QUOTE(Addy K!ng @ Oct 22 2016, 08:13 PM) Not really, usually females can't double first day sales...19k I think it's doable for her. 19k? What makes u think it's only selling that much? That would mean her daily average (day 2 - day 7) is gonna be less than 2k?! 1st day : 11k, and it's still #1 on iTunes. I can see it easily doing at least 30k.

Maybe Kate Nash will get the John Lewis ad campaign this year, to give her the early promotion for her tour early next year (February)
http://diymag.com/2016/09/05/kate-nash-ann...es-2017-uk-tour I love to see her music content back in the charts, I just love 'Foundations' by her

Will the John Lewis singer be British or maybe they will further afield, right now I'm going to put 3 names out there- Birdy, Passenger and Sia

QUOTE(shindymindy @ Oct 22 2016, 06:38 PM) According to Mint Royale, Gaga has sold 11,444 units and Buble and Elvis over 20,000 units each. Buble has sold more than double Gaga. Big sales week then. Didn't Gaga sell something like 240,000 first week in 2011?
