Calvin & Dua for #1!
Posted by: JosephAvery 8th April 2018, 12:19 PM
Kylie almost on 31k already, she's beaten Kiss Me Once's first week, superb!
Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn 8th April 2018, 12:31 PM
Should be on 35k for Monday’s mids then.
Posted by: davidas 8th April 2018, 12:32 PM
Is Kylie a sure fire number 1?
Posted by: Midge 8th April 2018, 12:33 PM
TGS sold 43k-44k at number 1 last week so I'd use that as a target.
Posted by: Nick Jonas 8th April 2018, 12:34 PM
Yes I think so, it almost sold as many as TGS did during the whole of last week.
Edit. Actually not quite. Still has another 5 days of sales though.
Posted by: dandy* 8th April 2018, 01:08 PM
I still think it could be close, Kylie is likely to be very front loaded indeed... although she is still #1 on iTunes so I guess that is a good sign that she's maybe selling better than I would have expected.
Posted by: slowdown73 8th April 2018, 01:09 PM
That is excellent news and well above what I was expecting. I am so pleased and excited for Kylie!!
Posted by: JosephAvery 8th April 2018, 01:09 PM
I think Graham Norton has helped Kylie quite well and she has a couple more promo slots too before the week is out, I think she can keep the #1 
Posted by: davidas 8th April 2018, 01:13 PM
Totally achievable then! So happy for Kylie!
Posted by: Frooot 8th April 2018, 01:19 PM
I expected Kylie to sell around 50,000+ opening week, ‘Dancing’ May not have a top 40 peak but her promotion this campaign has been sensational! She’s been on almost every show possible!
Posted by: JosephAvery 8th April 2018, 01:22 PM
Honestly I had Kylie down for 35-40k so to see that she should surpass that quite easily is brilliant!
Posted by: timjimlee 8th April 2018, 01:47 PM
I think she will get it comfortably - there is still a fair bit of Promo to come, tomorrow she is on The One Show and also repeat of TGNS is broadcast.
Also I don't think The Greatest Showman sales will be as high as last week (which were the third highest since release given the boost to This Is Me)
Posted by: Dexton 8th April 2018, 01:51 PM
I think Dancing could even go Top 40 this week, low Top 40 but still
Posted by: Midge 8th April 2018, 01:53 PM
How have "Dancing" and "Stop Me From Falling" fared in Australia?
Posted by: Dexton 8th April 2018, 02:00 PM
Not much better than in the UK in terms of chart positions (#46 for Dancing, failed to go Top 100 for SMFF) although Dancing did do fairly well in airplay
Posted by: iain 8th April 2018, 02:11 PM
Hopefully Stop Me From Falling will get into the top 100 this week. It’s currently 20 on iTunes, matching its peak position on the day of release.
I doubt Dancing will go top 40, I suppose it depends on how it holds up this week, and how many of the 7” singles were sold.
Posted by: GTH 8th April 2018, 03:02 PM
Kylie and her label have done a great job with promotion for this album, so I am glad they are getting the sales, which in the current album climate are impressive!
I didn't feel like Kiss Me Once had much of a promotional push in comparison, which definitely hindered its success and longevity. Only promo I recall for Into The Blue was one performance on The Voice and then the Sexercise promo vid, whereas Kylie has been everywhere this time around.
Fingers crossed for 50k+ sales first week. 60k would be amazing.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 8th April 2018, 03:32 PM
I don't think anybody else expected that.
To see it outsell Kiss Me Once's first week in one day is so brilliant.
I'm made up about that.I expect it'll finish on around 35-40K by the end of the week though.
Posted by: JosephAvery 8th April 2018, 03:37 PM

It's outsold Kiss Me Once's first week in two days! Friday and Saturday.
I think 35k is extremely pessimistic, it would only be selling 800 copies a day (after shifting 6-7k yesterday) for that to happen, I think we're definitely looking to the higher end of that bracket as a minimum. Would need to sell ~2.8k a day on average for the rest of the week to reach 45k, ahead of what The Greatest Showman sold last week, and I think that's achievable!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 8th April 2018, 03:37 PM
I kind of want Dancing to go Top 40 just to hear Radio 1 play it.

I was thinking more in the region of 38k, but I'm hoping it can do that much!
Posted by: 777666jason 8th April 2018, 04:40 PM
Ordinarily those sales would be an easy number 1 for Kylie fingers crossed TGS sales drop just enough
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 8th April 2018, 04:59 PM
Didn't the greatest showman get a boost last week from the vinyl release which would have also increased sales due to awareness.
Kylie has opened strong and will be front loaded but hopefully she can hold up all week and get a well deserved number 1 and it's great too see her sales increase from kiss me once.
I would love dancing to make the top 40 as it's her best single since all the lovers,the vinyl release will hopefully give her a boost and fingers crossed stop me from falling can make the top 100 as it's a great second single.
I am loving the Kylie buzz at the moment as I havnt enjoyed a kylie release as much since Aphrodite,golden is a very very solid album and the promotion has been excellent. I'm excited for the charts this week.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 8th April 2018, 05:45 PM
Rumour has it Kylie Dancing is 10 after two days...... Probably because of her phyiscals. Needs you all to stream her this week to try stay top 40
Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn 8th April 2018, 05:46 PM
Dancing didn’t re-enter the top 200, so I don’t think it’ll go top 40 unfortunately
Probably 50
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 8th April 2018, 06:04 PM
I think when you consider 'Dancing' was #22 in the first midweeks the week it made #47, that could be a positive sign.
Posted by: dandy* 8th April 2018, 06:06 PM
As lovely as it is to see Kylie doing well, there's so many formats and bundles of it that its 30K sales are actually split between a mere 153 fans.
Posted by: bluebitchboy 8th April 2018, 06:12 PM
Kylie sold 24k day 1 (which would have included all the fan bundle preorders) and sold another 7k yesterday, so it is clearly stretching beyond her fanbase.
Deservedly so, it's a fantastic album.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 8th April 2018, 06:36 PM
Kylie will pick up casual sales through the week and some fans may yet have to buy it too.
Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn 8th April 2018, 06:43 PM
True, but didn’t Dancing have like 70k streams first day to help it a bit? If only she performed Dancing The GN show!
Posted by: SmileyKylie 8th April 2018, 06:46 PM
Hey every artist does what they can to grab sales. Her fans want phyisicals......
Bloody hell Greatest Showman is getting 40% sales from streaming on playlists lol.
Don't diss Minogue.
Stop Me From Falling is the dark horse..... Mark my words..... Top 40 in a few weeks
Posted by: Bré 8th April 2018, 06:47 PM
Kylie Minogue is smelly and bad
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 8th April 2018, 06:48 PM
That means if streaming is missing, it puts her in a better position than then surely?
That also amounts to about 460 copies.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 8th April 2018, 06:55 PM
It's likely when streaming is added it will push Kylie down.
Sales of dancing are doing ok its streaming that's holding it back.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 8th April 2018, 06:58 PM
Not sure it is a given that Kylie will be number one in albums. Could be close. Needs to have had a good day today. If she can reach 40k I will be ecstatic what ever place she gets
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 8th April 2018, 07:04 PM
Sales of dancing are doing ok its streaming that's holding it back.
What I mean is, if streaming was included with her #22 midweek position she had at the time then she's in a more advantageous position now, even if it would push her down a bit more from #10?
Posted by: Midge 8th April 2018, 07:10 PM
How dare you!
Posted by: 777666jason 8th April 2018, 09:06 PM
Just wanted to know how you got close enough to know this without being escorted by security
Posted by: SmileyKylie 8th April 2018, 09:32 PM
So the Voice winner Ruti has sold approx 12,000 on iTunes already!
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 8th April 2018, 10:18 PM
Looks like we might have the biggest selling voice single to date!
Posted by: Bré 8th April 2018, 10:32 PM
Well that's not a high bar to clear x (and I don't think it even will be anyway, the market has shrunk a lot since Stevie McCrorie which I assume is currently the highest selling The Voice coronation single).
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 8th April 2018, 10:43 PM
If it can hold up through the week and have a bit of a chart run it could take the title.
I usually dont watch the voice, do the winners usually do promo in the week following the win?
Posted by: Bré 8th April 2018, 11:07 PM
It almost certainly won't though. The trend with The Voice is basically that there's interest in the winner's single for about a day or two and then they disappear off the face of the planet.
Posted by: Bjork 9th April 2018, 05:52 AM
where ddid u read ruti did 12K?? the #1 on itunes these days makes 2k and she was selling double than that, not 6 times more
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 9th April 2018, 06:06 AM
Maybe here was a good indication:
http://www.digitalsalesdata.com/diydsd.php?Region=143444
Posted by: SmileyKylie 9th April 2018, 06:35 AM
Yes it was just an estimate from digital Sales data
Posted by: vidcapper 9th April 2018, 09:12 AM
I'm waiting til later in the week in case she looks like getting caught...
Posted by: -SCOTT- 9th April 2018, 09:14 AM
That doesn’t make any sense
Whether you buy it now or Thursday, it will still count towards the same total
Posted by: Bjork 9th April 2018, 09:17 AM
Lol digitalsalesdata is always an overestimation
They are always way off
Posted by: iain 9th April 2018, 10:13 AM
Kylie sold 3,069 copies yesterday and is now on 33,737 sales. Greatest Showman sold 3,475 and is on 11k. Streaming is missing though (Fri, Sat and Sunday for Spotify)
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 9th April 2018, 10:16 AM
That looks like she's 100% shoo-in to get the #1! YESSSSSSSS!
Posted by: iain 9th April 2018, 10:19 AM
I'm still not 100% convinced that Kylie will be no 1. Greatest Showman did 12.7k last week streaming equivalent, assuming a similar amount this week, it takes it up to 24k. Assuming 4k/day sales for the next 4 days, it goes up to 40k. Kylie will do 2k streaming equivalent (max), and if it sells 2k/day for the next 4 days it takes it to around 43k. I think it's going to be close.
Posted by: iain 9th April 2018, 10:22 AM
Also, Golden breakdown:
19k on CD
5,588 (!) on vinyl
7,100 on digital
Posted by: Mullo 9th April 2018, 10:39 AM
Kylie has just added 1,000 signed cassettes to her store. So hopefully these 1,000 items will be snapped up and added to her sales the week
Posted by: sammy01 9th April 2018, 10:40 AM
Desperate stuff.
Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn 9th April 2018, 10:42 AM
They’ve already sold out
Posted by: Mullo 9th April 2018, 10:42 AM
Sales are healthy enough so not really. But as Tesco say every little helps
Posted by: Dexton 9th April 2018, 10:43 AM
Why don't more artists sell signed cassettes? 
Posted by: ElectroBoy 9th April 2018, 10:44 AM
Yes shame on her for wanting to sell more
Posted by: sammy01 9th April 2018, 10:45 AM
Because not every artist cares so much about chart positions or bleeding fans dry.
I can only imagine how many of those cassettes will never get played and sit on a shelf for the next 10 years.
Posted by: Midge 9th April 2018, 10:50 AM
I wonder how many copies of the Kylie album this week aren't duplicates or other versions or whatever? I'm delighted for her heading for number 1 but her chart performance in this era does feel somewhat artificial.
Edit: though on reflection, that has been going on for years with fans for all sorts of artists, it's just easier to see it in this era.
Posted by: x8619ry 9th April 2018, 10:56 AM
Kylie is old now. That's the fact, and she needs to rely on her fanbase more than younger artists. Why do some people care so much about what old gay men buy? You still have plenty of time to play the soundtrack on Spotify.
Posted by: SKOB 9th April 2018, 10:58 AM
That doesn't make any sense
Why "old gay men" wouldn't play Kylie on Spotify as well or TGS for that matter as the soundtrack is cross-over phenomenon.
Posted by: vidcapper 9th April 2018, 11:06 AM
Ah, but last week TGS was boosted by easter sales & a vinyl version, so I think it'll slip back to 35-40k this week.
Posted by: iain 9th April 2018, 11:09 AM
Even if you took away all the preorders with the multiple formats, she'd still be on course for 20k+ this week which is around the same as Justin T, Camila etc
As a 50 year old the odds really are stacked against her in terms of airplay and streaming, so it's not surprising that she needs to find different ways to boost sales. I imagine this will be the benchmark for future releases from "heritage" artists.
Posted by: Jack 9th April 2018, 11:11 AM
Sammy's posts about Kylie are so boring, we get it, you don't like her - you talk about her more than some of her hardcore fans do! Get a life.
Posted by: Hayzayy 9th April 2018, 11:17 AM
I'm delighted for Kylie and I hope she gets that number 1 spot, the album is really amazing 
Posted by: SKOB 9th April 2018, 11:18 AM
I'd give the album 3/5 stars but it's great that acts like Kylie, Rick Astley, Gary Numan, UB40 and Take That still find some success
Posted by: sammy01 9th April 2018, 11:19 AM
Your posts about me get pretty boring too and I'm not even in the charts!
Posted by: gavindeejay 9th April 2018, 11:27 AM
Desperate would be reducing the album price to £5.99 or something for this week only not making more stock available due to popular demand.
Posted by: SKOB 9th April 2018, 11:29 AM
If artist wants to market his/her products, it's nothing desperate LOL that's ridiculous
Posted by: Jack 9th April 2018, 11:41 AM
I'm not the only person commenting on your posts but go off.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 9th April 2018, 11:42 AM
Kylie is on The One show tonight at 7pm
Graham Norton repeat at 11.30pm
Coming for those midweek sales.]
how is selling a cassette at £7 fleecing fans? that's 1 hour minimum wage and her fans want these things. hardly breaking the bank. They have to do minimum runs of 4,000 I think........ she sold the 1st 4k and must have decided to do another run and added some signed ones.
everyone re-issues, creates what their fans want...... hardly new.....
plus all these artists paying Spotify to get top of their playlists etc
Everyone does promo.
If it makes kylie fans happy then that's good. no harm
Also Golden number 5 on Apple Music streaming. So its getting some streaming sales.
Cant wait for the Gente De Zona remix of Stop Me From Falling on 20th

Her record company have been very astute in selling so many different versions of the album. (I’m not a fan oh her btw but this is becoming the norm).
Only problem will be the second week position .
Posted by: sammy01 9th April 2018, 11:55 AM
No but the only person posting about me. Maybe I should release an album with 67 editions too.
Posted by: Joe. 9th April 2018, 11:56 AM
Could you at least make an effort to post without sounding like the Grim Reaper every time you decide to chirp in? Thanks
Posted by: SmileyKylie 9th April 2018, 11:59 AM
and also the cassette not signed is also available again so must have done another run of 4,000 copies
Posted by: pippa 9th April 2018, 12:17 PM
If Kylie has added more cassettes it would indicate the original run has sold extremely well.
Every sale will count this week in her battle for number 1. A position this album deserves.
Posted by: Midge 9th April 2018, 12:18 PM
It's interesting people argue that streaming shouldn't be included in the chart even though it's an indication of actual consumption, but we have thousands of cassettes being released this week clearly as a fan novelty that are counting towards the chart - what % of these cassette purchases will actually be listened to? 
Posted by: SmileyKylie 9th April 2018, 12:21 PM
Cassettes are on the comeback
Nice article

Posted by: SmileyKylie 9th April 2018, 12:23 PM
whats the % of passive listeners who just play a playlist and get streaming sales without even knowing who they are listening to?
At least Kylie fans are actively purchasing stuff, going to shops, online and choosing what they want/don't want......
I don't like the way the charts are these days but have to put up with it.....
Posted by: Jack 9th April 2018, 12:24 PM
It's just a bit of memorabilia for hardcore fans, it really isn't that big of a deal.

I dunno what I think, I just remember thinking back in 2005 that all the Elvis re-issues should've been NCQ.
Posted by: Regina 9th April 2018, 12:29 PM
Christ alive, if Kylie was selling poorly peopel would be attacking her for flopping. But she is doing well with a few different formats (which she isn't the first person doing by a long mile) and people are attacking her. She can't win. This is why the chart forum is generally a cesspit.
Who gives a flying f*** if she has several formats? It's not like she is holding you at gunpoint to buy them all. I only have the deluxe CD and vinyl. A casette is a nice nostalgic thing to have especially from someone who started her career when they were mos popular. Different vinyls look nice on display, if you have the money then by all means buy whatever you want.
Buying different formats is not different to people who sit and stream the same song over and over day in day out.

Alright, keep your hair on, Ms Phalange
Posted by: dazm 9th April 2018, 12:34 PM
At least they are genuine sales which should count to the chart whatever the reason people buy them. Multiple editions have existed many times in the past for lots of releases. 20 years ago it was commonplace for there to be CD Vinyl and Cassette versions of an album and fans would buy multiple versions.
Sales only count as one sale no matter how many times someone plays the record/track. Whereas 150 streams count as a sale - so someone streaming a record over and over is buying a record multiple times which they would not do (yet they could be playing the album less than someone who downloaded it or bought the CD). Streaming towards the sales chart should only count as one sale per user account - no matter how many streams/plays. If they did this the charts would be much better representative and fairer.
Posted by: Bré 9th April 2018, 12:40 PM
Kind of gives you the sneaky suspicion that some people are opposed not to the idea of streaming being in the charts, but instead to the fact it happens to benefit music that isn't to their taste
Posted by: sammy01 9th April 2018, 12:49 PM
Bingo! Also if Drake or Ed were releasing an extra 1k copies of a cassette signed to maybe push them to number 1 this forum would be fuming.
Posted by: Mullo 9th April 2018, 12:52 PM
Dancing is #16 in the singles midweek chart
Posted by: Jack 9th April 2018, 12:53 PM
Not really, it wouldn't bother me. But assume about this forum all you like.
I am all for streaming being included as well, I was dubious at first but I've come round to it now. It's how I consume all of my music anyway.
Posted by: GTH 9th April 2018, 12:55 PM
I am surprised Ed hasn’t tbh. All his albums are colour coordinated so would look cool having an orange, green and blue cassette, not to mention his fanbase are so broad in age range there would be plenty that would appreciate the nostalgia element of a cassette.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 9th April 2018, 12:56 PM
And if CDs singles where the norm still then Kylie would be top 40 every week in singles chart..........
basically people where upset they ran out of cassettes so she restocked........ and people bought.... its £7! Its a form of music..... it can still be played......
Posted by: Joe. 9th April 2018, 12:56 PM
I said to another mod 30 minutes ago that you'd post 'If Ed Sheeran added Cassettes to his first chart week you'd all be fuming'. Well done for being so predicable.
Ed Sheeran uses loads of different sales tactics and sells 10x more than Kylie and bar some eye rolls, nobody seems that bothered.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 9th April 2018, 12:57 PM
was it 22 in midweeks of first week? and finished 47th
its holding up well on iTunes and is being streamed more this week than the rest of the first week so could hold on to 39th or 40th position......
Posted by: ElectroBoy 9th April 2018, 12:58 PM
Releasing multiple formats or streaming and restreaming is basically the same thing.
You could argue acts releasing singles with an added rapper (for instance all of Little Mix's post album singles) is just another way of getting a hit and getting fans to re-purchase the same song albeit slightly tweaked.
Its the way charts are and as people have said people are happy for some artists to 'play the game' but not for others as its down to who they like/ support.
Posted by: Joe. 9th April 2018, 12:58 PM

Streaming data is missing for the whole week though, so Dancing doesn't stand much chance.
Posted by: iain 9th April 2018, 01:03 PM
6 pages before we even have an official first set of midweeks. The power of Kylie, and signed cassettes, I guess.
Posted by: JosephAvery 9th April 2018, 01:06 PM
This thread 
can you really BLAME Kylie's label for wanting a #1? Who WOULDN'T want a #1 album? Especially when she's so close to getting one, too! Releasing 1k cassettes isn't desperation, it's a marketing tactic and obviously the fans are fine with that as they've sold out. It's not like Kylie's holding people at gunpoint, telling them to buy her album.
(I would say the exact same if it were Ed or Drake, for the record)
Posted by: dj_tim_e 9th April 2018, 01:08 PM
Probably a daft question but if I bought the package on the website with the picture disc, the deluxe CD and cassette does that count as 3 sales or just the 1 when it comes to adding to the chart tally?
Posted by: davidas 9th April 2018, 01:08 PM
Kylie #5 on Apple Music album chart - think it was #12 on Friday, so her streaming numbers must be improving??
Posted by: M4NG0 9th April 2018, 01:08 PM
It'll probably end up at #47 again
Posted by: Joe. 9th April 2018, 01:08 PM
I don't know why I'm defending the album so much because I think it's pretty lacklustre (Dancing aside) but even without the bundles (if you took off 15kish sales), she'd still probably have the #1 on lock this week, so I don't see the big deal.
Also you have to bear in mind Kylie is NOT Drake, Ed Sheeran, Little Mix or Rag N Bone Man. She's an aging female popstar, who is way passed her radio relevance and gets no streaming. You can't really compare tactics of her to those artists at all.

Is there any chance Drake won't be #01 somehow?! Calvin might get a slight head start but I'm worried that won't be enough.
Posted by: JosephAvery 9th April 2018, 01:17 PM
At this rate I can still see Freaky Friday being #1 - Drake isn't that far ahead on Spotify and Freaky Friday is ahead on iTunes. Think it could be close though!
Posted by: Bré 9th April 2018, 01:18 PM
What actually were the sales of Stevie McCrorie's single for comparison?
Wow at The Courteeners shifting over 10k with what appears to just be a re-recorded version of one of their old albums. Who knew they had such a committed fanbase ~

Ed Sheeran out of Top 8 Albums shock, assume he is #9 - and he will somehow be Top 5 by the end of the week.
Posted by: danG 9th April 2018, 01:20 PM
Digital Sales Data wasn't far off with its 12k estimate for Ruti then! Lol at her being the midweek #1 due to lack of streaming data. Doing a lot better than Mo Jamil last year though, could even reach the overall top ten which is surprising.
Great to see Calvin & Dua smashing it at #2 
Hope they can hold that position (behind Lil Dicky who I presume is #1 when factoring in Spotify) though Drake could easily overtake.
Would be nice if Kylie could stay top 40 for Friday but seems unlikely. Glad she'll definitely be #1 over another week of TGS anyway in the albums chart.
Posted by: Midge 9th April 2018, 01:20 PM
I don’t see anything wrong with record companies exploiting the chart rules and their fans for a chart position by any means.

Really hoping Calvin/Dua can hold onto the top 2
Posted by: timjimlee 9th April 2018, 01:30 PM
Yes, that is quite impressive. All their five Studio Albums have peaked between #3 and #6 , that run likely to continue with this Re:Wired Album although unlikely to improve on the peak position of the original Album ('St.Jude') which peaked at #4.
Posted by: davidas 9th April 2018, 01:42 PM
What's the reasoning behind the Lorde - Melodrama climb up the album chart? 
Posted by: Midge 9th April 2018, 01:43 PM
Perhaps bathgate has helped

Vinyl release I think
Posted by: Mullo 9th April 2018, 01:45 PM
Would love to see Dancing hang on in there for a top 40 slot.
If they have any cop they#d swop the planned SMFF performance tonight and do Dancing instead...

of course... well they say any publicity is good publicity!
Posted by: gavindeejay 9th April 2018, 02:00 PM
Wasn't expecting Ruti to be Number 1 on the midweeks. Great to see a fresh Top 3 anyhow and 3 new entries in the Top 10 is also very welcome. Drake wil probably end up Top 3 I'd say and Freaky Friday going back to Number 1.
Great sales for Kylie over in the albums. She has Number 1 in the bag!

Wait the fabled vinyl release of 'Melodrama' has finally actually happened? I really don't get why it wasn't available on vinyl immediately but yass quen. x Lorde for #1 (I demand 5 different cassette formats from her as well x)
Anyway, yeah, can't see Ruti topping Stevie's sales unless she somehow holds up far better than previous Voice singles have done. I guess this is still a marked improvement on Kevin and Mo though for what it's worth.
Posted by: SKOB 9th April 2018, 02:09 PM
Impressed that Cardi B is top ten with Apple Music and downloads only (no Spotify streams and physical is not even available yet)
Posted by: timjimlee 9th April 2018, 02:09 PM
Top 10 is looking assured but how high is difficult to gauge, dark red on kworb now but has held up better than some predicted.
Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn 9th April 2018, 02:13 PM
Yeah Cardi will only climb throughout the week. Top 5 seems possible
Posted by: ElectroBoy 9th April 2018, 02:15 PM
I think with streaming entered into everything she'll probably just pull off top 40. Especially as she'll probably plummet throughout the week on sales
Posted by: timjimlee 9th April 2018, 02:23 PM
Based on last week's chart she would have made Top 20 with her current Sales.
EDIT - Actually not quite but there is an error in the Sales thread for last week with The Weeknd's Sales, still think she will make Top 10.
Posted by: Mart!n 9th April 2018, 02:47 PM
Great to see Kylie at #1 in the album chart.
Posted by: Dircadirca 9th April 2018, 03:13 PM
Dumb question, but with regards to Thursday streams always being estimated by the OCC, is that just done by adding 16.67% (ie the average of the prior 6 days) to the counted streams? I doubt it will affect the result of the chart to any note, but it would mean that Drake's Saturday released single would get a relatively slight underestimation compared to everything else that had streams on Friday.
Posted by: davidas 9th April 2018, 03:16 PM
Do album streams massively affect the overall chart? How does it work with Spotify when people are generally streaming tracks, rather than downloading a whole album? Sorry if a dumb question, but I'm learning...
Could streaming additions stop Kylie getting #1?
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 9th April 2018, 03:16 PM
Well what a pointless chart update
Posted by: Midge 9th April 2018, 03:21 PM

TGS amassed around 12k 'sales' from streams last week, so I doubt it will push them ahead given that figure is likely to decline this week..
Posted by: davidas 9th April 2018, 03:23 PM
AMAZING thank you
Posted by: JosephAvery 9th April 2018, 03:24 PM
It's an estimate based on the trends throughout the week, so if Drake increases every day prior to Thursday, the upweighted streams will have him increasing again.
Posted by: pippa 9th April 2018, 03:25 PM
Wonderful start for Kylie. I would think she should manage a further 10,000 for the remainder of the week. With its current sales it has already surpassed Kiss Me Once opening sales .
I greatly welcome Kylie having 2 top 40 entries although both will fall dramatically as the week progresses and streams are counted in. Both singles could possibly achieve new peaks this week for Kylie.
Posted by: Dircadirca 9th April 2018, 03:26 PM
Haha that's even more confusing, but probably more accurate. Thanks.
Posted by: timjimlee 9th April 2018, 03:46 PM
On a positive note it is shaping up to be the first Friday Chart Predictions thread this year to exceed 10 pages - the charts have been a bit predictable this year so far but at least there are some genuine battles this week, long may it continue...
Posted by: aeroco 9th April 2018, 04:11 PM
If there was a 'revenue' chart Kylie would be even further ahead! It's a music business after all, the idea is to make money. She's not getting 5 sales for every £50 super deluxe sold.
She doesn't need the cassette sales anyway to be number 1. She is miles ahead in every format except streaming. Even that is going to be better than expected I'm sure.
As we have seen with recent releases, her core buying fanbase has really fallen so I don't think it is right to assume she is number 1 because of fan multi buyers....it's more to do with a slow burning campaign since mid January, the singles are strong enough and she has won back old fans who probably haven't bought an album of hers since X or Aphrodite.
Posted by: Suedehead2 9th April 2018, 04:53 PM
The use of the suffix "gate" is very lazy and should be banned. In other words, Bathgate no more.

Praying ‘Dancing’ can snatch a week Top 40 - I don’t care if it’s 40-Out but it deserves a place seeing as it has held up so well, also it seems more like a genuine Kylie hit rather than a fan base one and seems to have appealed to a bigger market than some of her previous releases.
Posted by: Jüpiter 9th April 2018, 08:23 PM

Posted by: GTH 9th April 2018, 09:08 PM
I definitely feel like Dancing will have more of a legacy than a lot of her high charting singles, even without the high chart position. It has had great longevity so far and obviously has left enough of a mark to get good album sales.
Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn 9th April 2018, 10:03 PM
I’d consider Dancing a hit tbh!
Posted by: Joe. 9th April 2018, 10:20 PM
Yeah Dancing was a minor hit of sorts I guess. It could have been a more significant hit with just a little bit of streaming data from Spotify playlists and some commercial radio AirPlay (I know Heart played it for a couple of days).

It isn't a huge hit but it's at least done better than Into the Blue (a #12 hit but before streaming data counted and on preorders) which is great for her and certainly had a good effect on the album.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 9th April 2018, 10:52 PM
I thought that before I heard it!
Agreed. I definitely think in terms of overall impact and awareness it has surpassed 'Into The Blue' (despite the vastly differing chart peaks), and will leave a greater legacy.
Posted by: vibe 9th April 2018, 11:15 PM
Sorry but Dancing is not leaving any legacy .
No one knows it now let alone in years to come.
I hope she gets the number 1 album tho . I have just purchased her sisters NN limited edition vinyl , now that is an album !!!
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 9th April 2018, 11:27 PM
Apology accepted.
Posted by: The Snake 🐍 10th April 2018, 12:02 AM
I wonder why Drake is flopping compared to what you would expect for his new song?
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 10th April 2018, 12:08 AM
Dancing will have more of a legacy than into the blue and some of her other songs that charted higher.
Posted by: iain 10th April 2018, 05:16 AM
Into the Blue sold 58k and Dancing will probably outsell it in a couple of weeks despite the vastly different chart peaks.
Posted by: SKOB 10th April 2018, 06:29 AM
Is he though?
Posted by: Lomadz 10th April 2018, 06:46 AM
Song is not as catchy as God's Plan etc, will still do well though.
Posted by: Dark Horse 10th April 2018, 06:50 AM
God's plan is not even remotely catchy...it just happened that Drake is performing it, if it was by any other rapper it wouldn't hAve dented the charts...
Posted by: Bré 10th April 2018, 07:42 AM
Yes, I'm sure this song that set streaming records and spent over two months at #1 on both sides of the Atlantic (not to mention basically everywhere else as well) was just charting not because anyone liked it or thought it was catchy, but just because it was by Drake. That also explains how his last single before it did the same thing rather than missing the top 10 and meandering about the 20s for the rest of its brief run before disappearing to ACR.
Posted by: ML Hammer95 10th April 2018, 07:50 AM
God's Plan is extremely catchy. The new one is too, but to a lesser extent and mainly because of the sample/beat (so far).
Posted by: vibe 10th April 2018, 08:04 AM
Let’s hope drake doesn’t rule the charts with this sub par material . The sample is the only good thing about it.
Posted by: FleetSeb 10th April 2018, 08:36 AM
God's Plan was really catchy I thought! I couldn't get it out of my head even though I didn't listen to it very much. New one is less catchy but I probably prefer it.
Also, and I appreciate this is a small sample size of a very specific demographic, but loads of people in Heaven on Saturday night knew the lyrics to "Dancing"
Posted by: The Snake 🐍 10th April 2018, 09:27 AM
Well Drake is not very far ahead on spotify and looks like he might not get #1 this week. It is flopping slightly I would say. After God's Plan was so big, you would expect the hype for this new song to be big enough to get it a definitive debut at official #1.
I suppose though he is going against a huge viral hit in 'Freaky Friday' and God's Plan didn't really compete against anything in the charts so big, so maybe that's why the gap was bigger at #1 on spotify iirc.
Posted by: Jack 10th April 2018, 09:30 AM
I think flopping is a tad harsh, I wouldn't even say it is underpeforming really. I fully expect it to be another #01 for him
Posted by: Bjork 10th April 2018, 09:34 AM
Sure not flopping, underperforming and flopping are different things
I actually think he's doing better than expected on itunes
and on spotify, it's hard to tell since spotify was frozen all weekend and it wasn't showing on the top 50, we'll get a better idea today/coming days
could also be that he's started slower than usual on spotify cos there is a YT video already this time, unlike with one dance etc
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 10th April 2018, 09:41 AM
Well look at it this way, did Drake rack up instant #1s after 'One Dance'?

True. From the song numbers on the main page it's supposed to get around 6m update ww today which is almost 2m more than yesterday, no one knows how much it will be more in the UK but let's face it Spotify screwed him over for not showing the charts for 2 days and he wasn't on NMF of course and released a day after... And Apple music numbers must be big for him compared to the others, we'll see his numbers today. He can do easily 600k today.
Posted by: soundseekerz 10th April 2018, 10:49 AM
If that is the case then why didn't Diplomatic Immunity emulate the same success? Im not a fan of most of his songs (except the Take Care Era) but I admit they do have a catchy element to it
Posted by: ML Hammer95 10th April 2018, 10:55 AM
Would the fact 'Nice For What' was instantly released on YouTube have an effect on his Spotify numbers? That was a big factor in the numbers behind 'One Dance', 'Gods Plan' and 'rockstar'.

Interesting - I actually would say I prefer it to "Dancing", it's so euphoric, stands out somewhat among the many dreary chart hits we currently have!
Posted by: SmileyKylie 10th April 2018, 11:37 AM
Stop Me From Falling is excellent.
Picking up on iTunes at number 18 and gone from 0.045 to 0.12 popularity after yesterdays promo.
price will be dropped to 59p soon when Gente De Zona video/remix out.
Fingers crossed it can join Dancing in the Official top 75 this week.

I mean she has it in the bag now seeing as her sales have held up during the week. But that wasn't guaranteed, and if you look at last week TGS sold 18k Tues - Thurs so there was always room for doubt.
Posted by: Jack 10th April 2018, 12:24 PM
Don't think Drake will be able to catch up after all! Calvin may even be safe for #02 potentially which is pleasing.
Good to see Answerphone looks likely to stay Top 40 and M.O have a chance of reaching a new peak as well!
Posted by: ML Hammer95 10th April 2018, 12:28 PM
Nines Top 40
Posted by: Bré 10th April 2018, 12:37 PM
I don't know how blatant sarcasm has to be for no one to think it was serious x
'Diplomatic Immunity' is an actual example of a song that only charted because of it being a new Drake song, it doesn't have a memorable hook and was really only released for the fans and not intended to be a big hit in itself. And indeed, it only charted highly for a week before falling off.
Posted by: danG 10th April 2018, 12:41 PM
it really does seem like just about any British rapper can casually make the top 40 now, I've never heard anything of his before and this one isn't all that great on a first listen. There's a lot better stuff out there like the new Kojo Funds, Yxng Bane, MoStack and Yungen songs.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 10th April 2018, 12:41 PM
I really hope Ruti can stay Top 10, and Kylie Top 40 for Dancing. I'm not really a Kylie fan, but her new album is excellent.
Posted by: Simon. 10th April 2018, 12:43 PM
Is Paloma Make Your Own Kind of Music now outside top 40
Posted by: danG 10th April 2018, 12:43 PM
Anyway, amazing to see Calvin holding on to #2 and I also really like the new Drake song though I'm glad Calvin is doing better.
And Cardi B making the top 40 too. 'Be Careful' is a bit of a tune, tempted to say it's a step up from 'Bartier Cardi' (though it's no 'Bodak Yellow') but it needs a few more listens first.
Posted by: danG 10th April 2018, 12:44 PM

Posted by: Bré 10th April 2018, 12:46 PM
Anyways, I guess Lil Dicky is probably coming for a second week at #1 then, hopefully Calvin and/or Drake can climb to the top in the coming weeks. At least we are gonna be getting 2 great new entries in the top 3.
Nines already had a top 5 album, he's not a brand new randomer. I think Ramz aside all the British rappers breaking through (at least to the top 40) are people who have been big in the underground for a while already and are just now getting a mainstream breakthrough.
Posted by: Midge 10th April 2018, 12:53 PM
Tbf #42 is pretty impressive given "Crybaby" only made #36!
Posted by: danG 10th April 2018, 12:57 PM
Oh I was aware, just pointing out that we get a lot more British rappers making the top 40 singles now when not that long ago they'd just have underground hits and maybe a top 10 album.
Posted by: SKOB 10th April 2018, 12:58 PM
But last week was special for TGS (Easter + Full Monty). The moment Kylie crossed 30k there was hardly any doubt that she couldn't beat TGS.
Posted by: Joe. 10th April 2018, 01:06 PM
I feel as though 'One Kiss' will probably overtake Little Dicky next week, and if not the week after (when they perform it on Graham Norton). After that (In 3 weeks) Ariana releases, and will, no matter how the song sounds, probably have a huge first week in the UK - I really can't see her not debuting at #1. So for the next 3 weeks it really depends on how this Drake song holds up, it could very well keep Calvin/Dua at #2 even if they do overtake 'Freaky Friday'
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 10th April 2018, 01:08 PM
Where did 'Stop Me From Falling' fall to?
Posted by: danG 10th April 2018, 01:16 PM
#65
I love how the song can also act as a plea for Kylie to stop falling down the chart.
Posted by: ___∆___ 10th April 2018, 01:22 PM
Come on ‘Dancing’ just hang on for that Top 40 placing please!
Posted by: ML Hammer95 10th April 2018, 01:25 PM
I'd never heard anything from B Young either prior to 'Jumanji' but Nines has been around for a few years now like you mention. I really like the Nines song that's in the chart at the moment, not as obviously commercial as other UK rap hits.
Posted by: The Snake 🐍 10th April 2018, 01:29 PM
Do we know for certain Ariana is releasing a single in 3 weeks?
So two weeks at #1 maximum then for 'Nice For What' (so not the massive run I would have expected after God's plan's success), followed by a big run at #1 for Ariana probably!
Posted by: Jack 10th April 2018, 01:34 PM
Nicki is supposed to be releasing this Friday - don't know if it'll do TOO much but then her genre of music is massively popular and aside from those three songs last year, we haven't had anything in ages so it could do well if the material is right?
Posted by: Joe. 10th April 2018, 01:38 PM
So two weeks at #1 maximum then for 'Nice For What' (so not the massive run I would have expected after God's plan's success), followed by a big run at #1 for Ariana probably!
Yes, it's been reported by quite a lot of officials including her manager.
It depends how Ariana holds up due to popularity of the song. If Nice For What is huge, Ariana might only be #1 for a week or two like Taylor, when the hype wears off and it'll overtake.
Posted by: John-James 10th April 2018, 02:35 PM
If Nicki's single does well I think it will probably build over a few weeks. Her last lead 'Pills N Potions', whilst fairly weak for a lead, didn't exactly set the charts on fire coming from a fairly big era.
Posted by: Bré 10th April 2018, 02:49 PM
'No Frauds' deserved way better (although I didn't really like the other two songs she dropped along with it), interesting to see if Nicki will do any better this time around.
Posted by: danG 10th April 2018, 02:52 PM
Nicki to bring us a big urban bop please. It's been too long.
Posted by: omrimayo 10th April 2018, 03:22 PM
Gonna be super close, if Drake would have released on Friday he would take the number 1, but I think he'll miss it by little. Great numbers for him today!
Posted by: Jason 10th April 2018, 03:47 PM
I cant see how Nines is shining in the top 40. Its only #69 on Spotify and not top 100 on iTunes.

Posted by: platinum 10th April 2018, 04:01 PM
He was top 30 on Apple Music yesterday, I haven't checked today. I think he does better on Apple Music than Spotify in general as well.
Posted by: danG 10th April 2018, 04:01 PM
I think it was top 40 on iTunes at some point and due to other songs being on ACR it'll chart higher than its Spotify position.
And I suppose the poster above me is right about Apple Music streams too.

What you really need to do is stream Dancing ten times on Spotify, ten times on Apple Music, ten times on Deezer, ten times on Tidal, ten times on Amazon, ten times on Google and buy every version of the song individually from iTunes, Amazon and Google.
Or alternatively, don't waste your time and money.

Posted by: Zárate 10th April 2018, 10:44 PM
I'm pretty sure Kylie will miss the top-40 with 'Dancing' unfortunately BUT with such good albums sales it doesn't really matter. She's going to almost double first week 'Kiss Me Once' sales, and that with the slumping albums sales market.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 10th April 2018, 10:58 PM
Kylie has exceeded my expectations in both sales and quality with golden.

Just downloaded the EP for 99p of dancing. Bargain. Still has a chance.
Posted by: Midge 11th April 2018, 08:47 AM
That will only count as 1 sale
It has a good chance. Just because it fell from the teens to 28 in one set of midweeks means nothing, because that first set of mids had no streaming data added.
Posted by: ElectroBoy 11th April 2018, 08:51 AM
Should’ve downloaded the remixes individual - would be more sales
Posted by: Midge 11th April 2018, 08:53 AM
I believe on iTunes it'd cap your total purchase at the overall EP price as well. The "make up your album" feature. Though I'm not sure whether that would've then converted it from 4 sales to 1 sale?
Posted by: SmileyKylie 11th April 2018, 09:35 AM
Pity they didn't release he EP on iTunes to be honest. Would have sold quite a few

Are the positions of each song/album in your chart update based on the missing Spotify and Apple Music streams? E.g. A song that is number 4 in your chart update could actually be number 3 if the Spotify and Apple Music streams were included

Ruti somehow a non-mover from yesterday at #6, really hope she can hang on to the Top 10.
Posted by: JosephAvery 11th April 2018, 01:00 PM
At this rate I think she could hang on! #6-10 are reasonably close but there's a bigger drop to #11.
Posted by: Jack 11th April 2018, 01:02 PM
What are M.O's chances of reaching a new peak? If you know sales info of course.
Posted by: Bré 11th April 2018, 01:09 PM
Drake closing the gap to Calvin, looks like they'll likely swap over by Friday (or at least be very close to doing so). Surprised that the gap between Lil Dicky and Calvin hasn't closed at all today, since Calvin's iTunes advantage looks a lot bigger than Dicky's Spotify advantage. At least Calvin is ahead on both of them now so he should almost certainly overtake next week, even if he is still stuck behind Drake.
Posted by: timjimlee 11th April 2018, 01:19 PM
It is indeed looking mighty close this week - Drake looking slight favourite at this point although it is almost looking too close to call.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 11th April 2018, 01:34 PM
Brilliant from Kylie. Golden going to clear 45k
Posted by: Bjork 11th April 2018, 01:59 PM
i'm most surprised at the courteneers, the original album is one of those albums that debuts top 10, disappears next week, and it's far from a classic, it's not like the stone roses or anything, amazed they have more than 10,000 fans that would buy this
Posted by: Hayzayy 11th April 2018, 02:08 PM
Yep, really happy for her but I fear the fall is going to be brutal next week
Posted by: Addyland 11th April 2018, 02:14 PM
Even if sales dip 100%, with 4.5k you can still manage a top 15 position, sometimes even top 10!!!
Posted by: Mullo 11th April 2018, 02:29 PM
and she has 1,000 sales already from the signed cassette release
Posted by: iain 11th April 2018, 02:34 PM
I don't think the fall will be that brutal. She's selling 3k+ a day at the moment, even if that decreases to 1.5k/day next week, she'll still get around 11k which would have put her at no 5 on last weeks chart.
Looking at the competition, she'll probably be no 4/5 with Greatest Showman, George Ezra, Manic Street Preachers, and possibly Ed Sheeran ahead of her.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 11th April 2018, 02:36 PM
Looks like one of the Weeknd tracks will drop out of the chart from the Top 20 then eek.
Posted by: omrimayo 11th April 2018, 02:45 PM
Gonna be so close... If Drake would have release like everyone else on a Friday he would got it, it will be super close. Super! I hope his AM numbers are bigger than Spotify, he did nicely yesterday. I want Drake for 1 week and than Dua can take it for a long time it seems.
Posted by: danG 11th April 2018, 02:48 PM
Try Me will drop out from 17 yet Wasted Times will remain comfortably in the top 40, quite annoying really.
I still don't agree with the OCC's artist/album cap anyway, I think they could have come up with a better solution. Like taking away a certain number of streaming points from every track on an album to compensate for listens of the entire album. Meaning Try Me would've had a run more like 30-44-65-88-OUT and not 17-OUT, and Pray For Me would not artificially drop out for a single week only to come back the week after (which reminds me of another rule which led to Eminem having a 2-7-21-OUT-30 type run a few years back).
Posted by: Joe. 11th April 2018, 03:00 PM
Even though sales will be close, I think Lil Dicky has a big enough lead to say he'll comfortably #1 this week.
Posted by: timjimlee 11th April 2018, 03:17 PM
Not if you extrapolate yesterday's Sales and factor in the extra streams it will be far from comfortable (Drake narrowed gap by nearly 2k yesterday and is only 3.8k behind).
Posted by: ___∆___ 11th April 2018, 03:22 PM
BMG/Kylie are really going for getting ‘Dancing’ in the Top 40 this week - they have now launched a competition for 20 people who download the remix EP for 99p to win a date with her. Wish they had got it onto a streaming playlist and made the remixes 59p on iTunes too this week! Go Kylie
Posted by: Midge 11th April 2018, 03:25 PM
Yeah, I think Drake will be number 1 now.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 11th April 2018, 03:40 PM
LOL
Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn 11th April 2018, 03:43 PM
Now that IS desperate
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 11th April 2018, 03:46 PM
I desperately want 'Dancing' to get its top 40 position... but... blimey. I'm speechless at that.
Posted by: iain 11th April 2018, 04:00 PM
It’s not really a date...
Fancy Dancing With Kylie?
Purchase the Dancing EP (featuring remixes from Anton Powers, Illyus & Barrientos and Initial Talk) to WIN a once in a lifetime experience!
We’re offering 20 lucky winners a dance lesson with Kylie to a forthcoming single taken from the new album 'Golden'.
If you have already purchased the EP you will automatically be entered into the competition.
UK only. Dance lessons will be filmed and recorded for BMG use.
Posted by: Addyland 11th April 2018, 04:07 PM
That's really cool but yeah, I guess the timing makes it look like her label are so desperate for that top 40 peak for a single lol.
Posted by: No Sleeep 11th April 2018, 04:37 PM
How much has Dancing sold overall?
Posted by: danG 11th April 2018, 04:39 PM
approx 50k by now I would say,
Posted by: SmileyKylie 11th April 2018, 04:42 PM
I think those EP sales from website may well have given Dancing a boost today. anyone know the difference between 35 and 40 in todays round up?
Posted by: danG 11th April 2018, 04:55 PM
about 600 sales but at the rate Kylie is selling at the moment it seems rather unlikely that she'll keep a top 40 position.
Posted by: Midge 11th April 2018, 05:16 PM
If Kylie has fallen from 28 to 35 in a day then that doesn't bode well cos she's 700 copies behind the number 28 today, suggesting she is fading fast.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 11th April 2018, 05:25 PM
Such a shame. why not release EP etc on first day of week and Kylie Compeition, or at least on Monday..... promote it a bit more. Get a tweet sent out to her 2.4m followers etc. They are trying but maybe they thought a top 40 was in bag this week.....
Posted by: danG 11th April 2018, 05:30 PM
What I wanna know is why are they so desperate to make Dancing a top 40 hit anyway? They have the #1 album.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 11th April 2018, 05:32 PM
well the EP should sell better today than yesterday. if she can sell 1200 copies today over all formats/streams that's equivalent to 180,000 daily streams which must at least keep it stable?
Posted by: SmileyKylie 11th April 2018, 05:43 PM
not sure they are desperate but maybe trying to show she can compete etc and add more success to the campaign.
Did you read the article about BMG & Kylie? its a cracking read and leaves me excited for the future of this campaign.....
Plus it is a no purchase necessary (have to do this for legal reasons, happened with all the album/ticket stuff too) so maybe they just want the people involved for the next video etc.
I am pretty sure we will get 5 singles from this campaign maybe 6..........
Posted by: Bré 11th April 2018, 05:45 PM
I'm guessing they just saw that there's a chance it could go top 40 this week so they're just doing a last minute promo push to try and keep it there because why not.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 11th April 2018, 05:49 PM
exactly. not costing anything
Posted by: ___∆___ 11th April 2018, 06:06 PM
Exactly this - also doesn’t hurt the campaign to celebrate the fact it’s her 52nd Top 40 if it manages to hold on.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 11th April 2018, 06:19 PM
51st no?
I thought Santa Baby was 50th....
on another note she will not be far off matching Justin Timberlake total of 48.5k in her first week and his album was released 2 months ago!

I don't mean to be picky but, if her sales fell 100% next week, they would be precisely zero,

why they didn't release Dancing as CD single, if they wanted a top40 so much, a CD single would have totally made it happen
Posted by: Zárate 12th April 2018, 07:34 AM
Tbh I think they just didn’t expect it to have a chance this late into its chart run. I mean they’re even promoting mainly ‘Stop Me from Falling’.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 12th April 2018, 07:41 AM
Agreed. It's been on Itunes top 75 for 70+ days. Remarkable for her

Ruti is still about 2.5k ahead of #11 (Post Malone), she still has a chance to cling on!
Cardi B is at #41 with Drip and #45 with I Like It btw.
Posted by: Midge 12th April 2018, 01:42 PM
The question on every Kylie's fans lips, Joseph, is how many copies is she ahead of number 41 and how much has number 41 caught up since yesterday? 
Might as well get it out the way
Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn 12th April 2018, 01:45 PM
Cardi B is at #41 with Drip and #45 with I Like It btw.
Do you think Drip and I Like It will go t40?
Posted by: JosephAvery 12th April 2018, 01:50 PM
Might as well get it out the way
The gap has....actually remained pretty much the same
756 copies difference on Wednesday and 698 today, not much at all really! I don't think it's impossible for her to stay top 40, let's all buy the remixes on iTunes 
I think it's possible! #39 and #40 are both Camila and both songs are on ACR so they could give way for Cardi x2 (or alternatively, Kylie dropping out).
Posted by: Midge 12th April 2018, 01:54 PM
Thanks Joseph - SmileyKylie I hope you're paying attention
Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn 12th April 2018, 01:54 PM
Thank you
Hopefully both Camila tracks drop out, both Cardi enter and Kylie remains T40! A lot to ask for
I can see Be Careful rising to #25, I Like It #40 and Drip #41
Posted by: mdh 12th April 2018, 01:59 PM
@Joseph - who do you reckon will realistically be #1 tomorrow? can't quite figure out which way it's going to go myself
Posted by: Vülker 12th April 2018, 01:59 PM
Here's a question, if you download a song on Spotify for offline listening, does that count towards the chart at all?
Posted by: Tombo Tingz 12th April 2018, 02:00 PM
I hope Freaky Friday can hold the top spot! It's also great to see Kylie in the top 40 where she belongs! Now can Hot Hits support her???
Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn 12th April 2018, 02:02 PM
You know what, I think Drake could actually go #1
I believe he’s outselling #1 and #2
Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn 12th April 2018, 02:04 PM
Lil Dicky sold 6.9k yesterday
Calvin & Dua sold 7.9k yesterday
Drake sold 8.7k yesterday
(I think)
Posted by: Bré 12th April 2018, 02:04 PM
Kinda rooting for Kylie to end up being #41 tbh. (But I do think she actually will just about cling on now ~)
Definitely looking like at least a #2 debut for Drake then. Maybe a very slim chance that he could still debut at #1? ;o edit: yeah from the figures cqmerqn posted, it could be very close!
Posted by: timjimlee 12th April 2018, 02:04 PM
Looks like a genuine three horse race for the top spot tomorrow - I'm predicting the winning margin will be less than 1k but I'm not sure who will make it.
Lil Dicky looking third favourite to me even though still on top.
Posted by: Midge 12th April 2018, 02:06 PM
I think Drake's upmarked streams for today will edge him ahead to be honest.
Posted by: JosephAvery 12th April 2018, 02:06 PM
Daily sales yesterday:
8,719 Nice For What
7,968 One Kiss
6,918 Freaky Friday
If we assumed they sold the same again today, we'd get totals of:
44,340 Freaky Friday
44,104 Nice For What
43,587 One Kiss
And that's before streaming is upweighted, so yeah, I think Drake has it
Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn 12th April 2018, 02:07 PM
Just worked this out
Lil Dicky 44.3k
Drake 44.1k
Calvin & Dua 43.5k
For tomorrow
EDIT oops beaten to it
Posted by: omrimayo 12th April 2018, 02:08 PM
It's like Drake is closing 1K from Calvin and around 2K per day from FF, we have 2 days left (With streaming of yesterday and of today that will reveal tomorrow) I think Drake should do it easily (Close, really really really close) but easily with the missing streaming data of yesterday and of course today that will effect the chart at the final day.
Posted by: Bjork 12th April 2018, 02:08 PM
so Drake could actually be #1 this week :/
yesterday he did almost 2k more than Lil Dickie + 1 day of missing streams were he has a big lead
Posted by: omrimayo 12th April 2018, 02:09 PM
Lil Dicky 44.3k
Drake 44.1k
Calvin & Dua 43.5k
For tomorrow
EDIT oops beaten to it
But no... there is another day missing on the chart now already, like tomorrow final chart numbers it will be 2 days of streaming, the one that missing now and the one of today that is counting for the chart, so it's not like 1 day missing it's 2 (1 sale of today and 2 streaming of today and yesterday) So that means it's more missing data that will give Drake the number 1.
Posted by: Bjork 12th April 2018, 02:09 PM
hahaha ouch we all posted the same at the same time but Joseph more scientifically
Posted by: BridgeCow 12th April 2018, 02:12 PM

Posted by: Jason 12th April 2018, 02:23 PM
Oh God, Drake back at the top.
By the way, I'm happy for Kylie's number 1 album and probably another top 40 single.
Posted by: danG 12th April 2018, 02:29 PM
Sir Drake ruling the charts once again *.* Rooting for him to be #1 tbh just so we don't have Lil Dicky be a multi-week #1. I mean I'd prefer Calvin but he seems to be out of the running now. He could still do it in the future if he keeps up the big iTunes lead and holds well on Spotify.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 12th April 2018, 02:30 PM
Don't do this to me.
Posted by: ___∆___ 12th April 2018, 02:32 PM
Bought all the remixes with earlier in the week and the EP bundle from her official store this morning! It’s too close for her not to get it - Just wish her team would tweet from her page about the competition that would easily generate some sales.
Pleased that the promo this morning has sent Dancing back to #19 - that could be the difference between #40 and #41!
Posted by: danG 12th April 2018, 02:35 PM
I've done some quick maths and I project Kylie to finish at #38, though this doesn't take into account missing streams, so I will optimistically predict her to chart at #40.
Posted by: Midge 12th April 2018, 02:37 PM
I was about to say exactly this.
Considering the chart outcomes have been bland and stale, we're having a few 'exciting' charts this year - battles for number 1, songs on the edge of the top 40 (or top 20 or top 10)...
Posted by: timjimlee 12th April 2018, 02:40 PM
Whilst I agree with the analysis that Drake is now looking favourite to secure the top spot this week I guess the other variable is that in last couple of days Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa have been catching up Drake's daily combined Sales possibly to the point where today they could have highest combined Sales. Suspect the margin will not be enough to offset the upweighted streaming but going to be close. Lil Dicky for #3 definitely.
Posted by: Tedward 12th April 2018, 02:41 PM
I like Drake, and I really do think his music has gotten better in recent years, but even I have to admit him dominating the charts is getting boring. If he releases another new single soon after Nice For What (which is very possible, as he is working on a new album for certain) then I've had it.
Posted by: Queef of Peace 12th April 2018, 02:43 PM
Drake.
Talentless Drake.
Again!!
Music has gone off the boil. It is DEAD. Someone put Back to Black on as the charts are officially OVER.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 12th April 2018, 02:44 PM
Just got another email advert for the 99p EP.! Buy it everyone! Lets get Kylie that top 40
Dancing up from 23 to 19 on ITunes today.
Posted by: Midge 12th April 2018, 02:45 PM
Which versions have you NOT bought yet?
Technically you could buy the main version plus 3 remixes singularly on each of iTunes, Amazon, Google Play and other outlets - that's 12 sales at least
Posted by: danG 12th April 2018, 02:45 PM
I reckon we'll get a new Drake album out of nowhere before too long, which will result in him getting yet another #1 probably. With his last album 'Passionfruit' went straight in at #3 and that was up against two Ed Sheeran tracks.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 12th April 2018, 02:47 PM
Definitely looking like at least a #2 debut for Drake then. Maybe a very slim chance that he could still debut at #1? ;o edit: yeah from the figures cqmerqn posted, it could be very close!
Why would you want Kylie at 41?
Posted by: Dexton 12th April 2018, 02:47 PM
I don’t think Drake is talentless I can’t say I’m a huge fan of him dominating the charts by releasing a new single every ~10 weeks which he is, so far, doing, but at the same time Nice For What is my favourite release from him in a long time so I’d happily see it knock Lil Dicky from the top One Kiss should definitely be #1 next week so it’s not like Drake is blocking another #1 from Calvin (just a #1 debut)
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 12th April 2018, 02:50 PM
He probably just wants to see the meltdown that would ensue.
Posted by: Bré 12th April 2018, 02:52 PM
Precisely xx
(also it's a terrible song)
Posted by: ElectroBoy 12th April 2018, 02:53 PM
Tomorrow could see a double Buzzjack meltdown - Kylie denied of a top 40 and Dua denied of a Number 1
Posted by: Hadji 12th April 2018, 02:54 PM
I hope Drake doesn’t snatch the lead. I want it to end up as
1. Calvin/Dua
2. Drake
3. Lil Dicky/Chris
Posted by: Bjork 12th April 2018, 02:58 PM
Dua/Calvin have no chance this week (sadly)
really rooting for Kylie even though the song is terrible, I can't at the mix of pop with country
Posted by: Dexton 12th April 2018, 02:59 PM
I can see it now... Perfect is at #40 with Dancing just behind at #41
Posted by: No Sleeep 12th April 2018, 02:59 PM
Will buying the EP on her website count as one sale or four?
Posted by: Bartier Cqmerqn 12th April 2018, 03:00 PM
One
Posted by: JosephAvery 12th April 2018, 03:02 PM
Isn't a mix of pop and country quite common?
I mean Taylor Swift managed it for a few albums quite successfully.
Posted by: iain 12th April 2018, 03:07 PM
Dancing is currently on 6,579 with 1,051 sales yesterday. She'll probably have to sell around 8k for no 40, so she'll need to increase her daily sales today.
Posted by: Hadji 12th April 2018, 03:13 PM
If today’s streams end up missing from tomorrow’s chart like they sometimes do, Calvin could get #1
Posted by: Bjork 12th April 2018, 03:16 PM
Thu streams are never missing
they're estimated instead of the real data but never missing
It's between Drake and Lil Dickie, with Drake clearly having an advantage, Calvin/Dua have no chance

I mean Taylor Swift managed it for a few albums quite successfully.SHania Twain left dead at being overlooked in favour of that snake.

you could buy 3 of the remixes for 59p each
Posted by: SevenSeize 12th April 2018, 03:21 PM
Come on Drizzy, we're all behind you
Not sure if Nice For What will do it, is it maybe *too* good to reach #1 in 2018? Always cool to see a close chart battle though, with likely a thousand sales or so between them!
Posted by: Stuart25 12th April 2018, 03:22 PM
So could you ! ! !
Posted by: JosephAvery 12th April 2018, 03:22 PM
I mean it would be the worst #1 in a dire year for #1 singles so... no
Posted by: Bré 12th April 2018, 03:28 PM
Drake coming to have the 2 best #1s of the year so far *.*
(not that that's hard considering what the non-Drake #1s of the year have been)
Posted by: Bjork 12th April 2018, 03:34 PM
just checked cos I couldn't remember from memory so the UK #1s this year have been:
Ed Sheeran - Perfect
Eminem ft Ed Sheeran - River
Drake - God's plan
Rudimental ft Macklemore & Jess Glynne - These days
Lil Dickie ft Chris Brown - Freaky Friday
I would rate all of these below 4/10, terrible year for #1s so far
Posted by: The Snake 🐍 12th April 2018, 03:37 PM
Who knew Drake would struggle to make number 1? Maybe because it is less Spotify friendly (ie. chilled, suitable for background music) than God's Plan it is flopping!
The length of this thread too! I assume in three weeks we will have a Friday chart predictions thread just as long, if not longer when Ariana releases!
Posted by: Jack 12th April 2018, 03:58 PM
Not worse than 'God's Plan' though?! I think it's more instant than that at least!
I'm not really here for Drake most likely having another 10 week #01 but hey, that's the state of the charts right now. I'm not even entirely convinced Ariana will do it sadly, but I am pessimistic when it comes to these things.
Posted by: danG 12th April 2018, 04:05 PM
Very unlikely considering Perfect is as high as #31 in the update.
Posted by: gooddelta 12th April 2018, 04:05 PM
Have just downloaded that Kylie EP I woudn't forgive myself if I hadn't and she missed by one copy. Don't really need it as it's on Now 99 and Golden but...I guess the Initial Talk remix is nice.
It's a bit frustrating that it's taking such a herculean effort to get Dancing into the top 40, and it still might not happen, when bloody Santa Baby slid in mostly just based on passive Christmas playlist streams.
Posted by: Midge 12th April 2018, 04:14 PM
I would have ended up getting both later for a variety of reasons but have grabbed the 59p of "Dancing" and the Anton Powers radio edit today... there's 2 sales.

Love that so many of us are buying multiples of Dancing for her to snatch that #40 entry Will be so disappointed if it ends up at #44 or something!
Posted by: Vülker 12th April 2018, 05:13 PM
Oh that's great then. I'm always online so I suppose the data has been transferred. Good to know something so simple as downloading them on Spotify helps with a few sales for Kylie.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 12th April 2018, 05:25 PM
Will be so disappointed if it ends up at #44 or something!didn't someone say it was 600 copies ahead of 41st as of yesterday? Surely she has sold a load today again + a few streams. will 5 people really overtake her?
probably sold more yesterday and today than the other days.
Posted by: Midge 12th April 2018, 05:37 PM

Don't forget she fell back from 28 to 35 and around 700 sales from Tuesday to Wednesday so it's certainly possible - PLUS an extra day of streams to battle with too, which we know she'll fall back against.
Posted by: Hadji 12th April 2018, 05:37 PM
At this rate, “Be Careful” could outpeak “Bodak Yellow”
Posted by: Doctor Blind 12th April 2018, 05:42 PM
Good to see Drake is likely to debut at #1 - hopefully another 9 week run at the top too. *.*
Posted by: SmileyKylie 12th April 2018, 05:45 PM
True, but she also selling more than what she has done all week etc so I would hope she can hold on.
Kylie looks hot at the Echo Awards tonight in Germany
Posted by: Tombo Tingz 12th April 2018, 06:01 PM
I'd like Lil Dicky to stay on top, if not then Drake!
Calvin needs to go back to the drawing board
Posted by: Queef of Peace 12th April 2018, 06:05 PM
Ed Sheeran - Perfect

Drake - God's plan
Rudimental ft Macklemore & Jess Glynne - These days

urggghhh ABSOLUTE TRASH THE LOT OF THEM

Salvador, is that you?
Posted by: SmileyKylie 12th April 2018, 06:43 PM
is there any chance Zayn and Nicki will sell enough in the next few hours to overtake Dancing?
Posted by: Bjork 12th April 2018, 07:48 PM
nope 0 chances
they'll probably sell like 200 copies or somethng on itunes + their streams dont count, won't even be top 200

Much more than 200 copies I’m sure?
Posted by: Doctor Blind 12th April 2018, 07:59 PM
Maybe 700... http://digitalsalesdata.com/diydsd.php?Region=143444
Although DSD does overestimate - there is no way for instance that ‘One Kiss’ sold 7K today on iTunes... especially because it sold 7,968 yesterday and that includes its massive streaming sales.
Posted by: Bjork 12th April 2018, 08:00 PM
to get an approx of what they sell
the #1 itunes on a Thur barely sells 2000 copies,
they're at 0.10 on kworb, do the math

Roughly works out 4K downloads for One Kiss yesterday. Maybe 3.5k for iTunes and 500 sales from other sites
Posted by: Addyland 12th April 2018, 08:40 PM
I hope One Kiss manages #2 debut position.
Also Kylie omg, watch her tomorrow ending at #41
Posted by: gavindeejay 12th April 2018, 08:57 PM

Just watch BuzzJack melt if that happens
Posted by: Addyland 12th April 2018, 09:01 PM
That would be really unfortunate for Kylie and her label after all they've done this week lol.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 13th April 2018, 01:48 AM
Please may dancing stay top 40 for Kylie,it's gona be close,
Album should pass 45,000 now which is great.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 13th April 2018, 09:21 AM
I a going to be very bold and say she has done it. 39 😂😂😂😂
Posted by: Midge 13th April 2018, 09:23 AM
I'd be pessimistic if I was you; especially if you only bought 1 copy
Posted by: JosephAvery 13th April 2018, 09:25 AM
Let's hope my six copies this week have done it then (!)
Posted by: ElectroBoy 13th April 2018, 09:26 AM
At least the wait to know if she made it is not going to be long as if we hit 35 and she hasn't been mentioned we know she's missed
Posted by: Midge 13th April 2018, 09:27 AM
If she's made it by a copy we can all pat ourselves on the back. Even I've bought 2 this week
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 13th April 2018, 09:34 AM
This whole saga with 'Dancing' almost/maybe making the top 40 on three occasions has been seriously bad for my anxiety levels.
Posted by: iain 13th April 2018, 09:45 AM
I mean at least the Kylie stress is whether Dancing will go Top 40 rather than whether Golden will go to no 1.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 13th April 2018, 12:19 PM
Yep. I would think Dancing will top the physicals single chart. Golden will probably top physicals, vinyl, cassette, cd, download charts too...
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 13th April 2018, 01:20 PM
I wish the chart was out now to know about dancing,at least we know golden is number 1.
I'm hoping golden can make top 5 here in ireland
