What Will the Neighbours Say? is being re-released on March 8th! How do you think this will fare in the UK chart?
Once again, this reissue will be available with three physical formats: 3CD, Blue Vinyl and Picture Disc Vinyl. Incentives to pre-order from their official store: an exclusive sheet of stickers, and a competition - a chance to win Girls Aloud concert tickets. Will Girls Aloud being together again be beneficial for WWTNS? This time there's three unreleased tracks included, which could give it an edge over SOTU. WWTNS was more successful at the time, and it seems to be the more popular album with the fanbase. SOTU re-release charted at #42 with 2,925 sales in the 23rd June 2023 chart (exactly 100 sales behind #40). WWTNS will chart on 15th March 2024; note that in the equivalent chart last year, the #31 from that week sold 2,833. Almost 100 copies less than what Girls Aloud sold to miss the Top 40 three months later. If March 2024 is at a similar sales level to 2023, could WWTNS make the Top 30 by selling a similar number of copies to SOTU? |

I'm going to say... #24, with around 3,400! I'd love it to do better than that of course. I think it has a good chance of selling a few hundred more than Sound of the Underground, and that the time of year will benefit them to place higher in the chart.

I think it will flop , £17 £or 3 new songs isn't worth it at all.

I would hazard a guess it'll probably do a bit better; it was the album after all that really cemented their popularity, more so than the first album. Plus there's more incentive this time I feel with the new unreleased songs. I'll settle on top 30 I think (just to be on the safe side, and quietly hope I'm pleasantly surprised).

Id like to be proven wrong and it be higher but I think im gonna go with somewhere around the 21 - 30 mark.
There’s not too much to go off really other than how Sound of The Underground did but this was a bigger album the first time around and since that release we’ve also had the tour confirmed so I do think it will fare slightly more and perhaps they may even plug it a bit more too given how close Sound of The Underground’s release was to sneaking back in the top 40. I think Team Girls Aloud may try and ensure that this goes there. This post has been edited by Jord: Jan 19 2024, 11:31 PM |

I'm going to say between 25- 20, I'm confident that with more exposure and hype this will sell enough to sell a fair bit more than the debut did

I'm predicting Top 30 too for the same reasons - better received album, new songs, news of the tour increasing interest in the group again.

I think top 30, bordering on top 20 but not quite making it in. I expect it'll do a bit better than SOTU with the tour hype putting them into the spotlight again, and it's a more well-received album within the fanbase too.

Both options are quit expensive as they were with SOTU, I've been waiting for those ones to reduce in price before buying... annoyingly they haven't so far! |

There certainly could have been a way lazier track list created for this release. Out of interest what outcome would you define as being a flop for a re-issue? I own all their original singles and albums along with the sliver case with music, wake me up picture vinyl. I disagree 3 unheard of songs isn't worth £17 as for remixes i am not a fan of most. I would say looking at the low album sales they are alot lower than when Girls Aloud used to bring out albums . it would need to be in the top 5 not to flop or top 10 but not just rapidly drop down the charts and stays there for a good while. I personally won't spend £17 on 3 songs, if it was 5 or 6 unheard of songs then I would be rushing to buy it at a price of £13/ £14. I love girls aloud , i have been to all their tours ,out of Control tour I went 6 times , i own all their dvds and dolls and calendars but to me this isn't worth the money..I would say this album might suit new fans but they would be much better off buying the original price wise I guess.

Not personally considering it to be worth the money is fine, of course!
 In regards to reissues and what they tend to contain, I really do think that this track listing is great, and superior to many others that I've seen. There's 14 tracks included that haven't appeared on any previous Girls Aloud commercial releases: Baby When You Go Deadlines & Diets (Version 2) Disco Bunny I'll Stand By You (Electronic Mix) I'll Stand By You (Tony Lamezma's Club Romp / Radio Edit) I'll Stand By You (TV Edit) I'm Every Woman Love Machine (CD:UK Edit) Love Machine (Gravitas Disco Mix / Radio Edit) Love Machine (Tony Lamezma's Club Mix / Radio Edit) The Show (Popworld Edit) Wake Me Up (Flip & Fill Remix) Wake Me Up (Tony Lamezma's "Love Affair" / Radio Edit) Wicked Game (I know remixes aren't for everyone, but I appreciate that Universal has made an effort to include some "new" ones when they could have just settled with only including the previously released mixes). As for unreleased songs, I can't help but think of Spice Girls and how the Spiceworld reissue didn't include any unheard songs. So by comparison I'm really over the moon that Girls Aloud have included three!  I don't think there's pressure for the reissues to set the chart alight. If Universal was chasing a Top 10 placement, then I think there would have needed to be a few more CD and vinyl variants, plus some cassettes. Seeing as they're not going overboard with physical formats (just three) I guess their chart expectations can't be too lofty. I'm assuming that the label must have been pleased enough with how the Sound of the Underground reissue performed, to justify the reissues project continuing - thankfully! Also it's inevitable that the album will have a "1 week and out" chart run, but that's extremely common these days. |

Honestly, I think expecting a re-release of a 20-year-old Girls Aloud album to go top 10 and hang around would've been an expectation so far beyond realistic even before the current norm of 1-week and out

There isnt a hope of it sticking around, even brand new albums struggles with that these days let alone a re release.

Any final predictions? I really do hope that it improves on the performance of Sound of the Underground! It deserves to!
