A fresh thread for release week! Perhaps your feelings about who will be #1 has changed since the previous 2 threads.

Posted by: Andrew. 6th November 2020, 12:09 AM

Winner - Little Mix
Sales - Kylie 41k (39k pure) Little Mix 46k (37k pure)
Preference - Little Mix (like both but LM have broughT the pure pop and the aesthetic this era)
Faves - Magic (Kylie) Break Up Song (Little Mix)

Posted by: Jay* 6th November 2020, 12:30 AM

I'll go out on a limb and still say it'll be Kylie! I predict a very tight race:

44k for Kylie
43k for Little Mix

Kylie is my preferred artist to win the battle, but I do love Little Mix and would be very pleased for them if they manage it instead!

Favourite songs: Say Something and Sweet Melody

Posted by: jlj 6th November 2020, 12:34 AM

I’d rather Kylie get #1 because Little Mix will have the stronger chart run (well I imagine they will) my gut at the minute is telling me Kylies getting it although I did think Little Mix a few days ago.

Sales wise I think Kylie will do around 50-52k Little Mix 48-49k.

Posted by: Davidson 6th November 2020, 12:45 AM

I soooo want Kylie to get the #1 - this album is one of her best and so much better than the LM album.

However my predictions are:

Winner - Little Mix
Kylie Opening Sales - 40-45k
LM Opening Sales - 45-49k
Fav Kylie Single - Say Something
Fav LM Single - Sweet Melody

Posted by: slowdown73 6th November 2020, 12:50 AM

I really want Kylie to be no1. The album sounds amazing and she totally deserves it. Not really a fan of Little Mix. I’m expecting this to be a tight race and think Little Mix will probably make it due to their streaming advantage but hope I’m wrong. Favourite Kylie single is Magic.

Posted by: ___∆___ 6th November 2020, 01:01 AM

Kylie delivering a pop masterpiece of an album - the early reactions to it online are amazing too.

Hope she gets #1 but as a lifelong fan I’m just pleased she can produce a solid pop album so far into her career - the girls and gays love to see it.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 6th November 2020, 01:06 AM

Kylie as the album is brill
35-39 due to lockdown
30-35 again lock down affect
Kylie
Say something
Sweet melody

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 6th November 2020, 01:17 AM

Both seem really solid albums..

Want : Little Mix

Predict:
Kylie will be #1 - 51,800
Little Mix - 48,000

However, if Little Mix offer incredible performances on The Search and the EMA’s which gets attention could be closer.

I think the Cassette issue will be the downfall of LM as they’ve been totally removed from the site now, there’s hardly any interesting formats (Unless they end up surprising us).

Posted by: Tafty 6th November 2020, 01:36 AM

Kylie Minogue
Kylie sales: 50,000 - 54,999
Little Mix sales: 45,000 - 49,999
Little Mix (PURE Biasedness. Sorry </3)
Only heard Say Something which was cute. So I voted "Haven't heard".
Happiness got my vote on this!

Posted by: Zak 6th November 2020, 01:39 AM

I really can't call it now tbh. Wouldn't surprise me if either was 10k ahead of the other in the midweeks. Rooting for LM.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 6th November 2020, 01:53 AM

Little Mix all over Streaming and has Spotify backing big time so will be very tough for Kylie.

Posted by: Liam.k. 6th November 2020, 02:01 AM

Really tough to decide still. I think Little Mix’s streaming and Kylie’s promo will cancel each other out so it depends on what their sales are like on the Monday midweeks.

Posted by: KM AIR 6th November 2020, 02:16 AM

Go Kylie ! She’s got it!

Posted by: SmileyKylie 6th November 2020, 02:17 AM

I think Kylie promo though often relies on casual weekend shoppers picking it up. Lockdown may cost her quite a few sales

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 6th November 2020, 02:50 AM

After listening to kylies disco its very deserving of number 1, I havnt heard little mix yet so I cant judge yet but i couldn't ask for more from kylie.

Posted by: bluebitchboy 6th November 2020, 05:51 AM

Am pleasantly surprised by just how good Disco is! I've no idea who will win, I'm just pleased to have an album that is so joyful, it is just what I needed at the moment.

Posted by: tgl92 6th November 2020, 07:34 AM

My worry for Kylie is that none of her singles have landed. Her last era had a top 40 at least. I guess her sales will be mainly longtime fans only. This little mix campaign has been a little bit all over the place and none of their singles have been stand outs in their career except sweet melody. I’ll give both albums a play today and May the best album...win

Posted by: iain 6th November 2020, 07:59 AM

Haha oh god I can’t believe we’re on thread no 3 for this chart battle. Anyway, as a good start, the iTunes Chart has frozen, so no idea if Kylie or Little Mix are ahead there.

Posted by: iain 6th November 2020, 08:00 AM

Also, are Saturday midweeks still a thing? Obviously they’re meaningless for the singles charts as they exclude streaming, but it will give a good idea of pre orders + first day sales.

Posted by: 365 6th November 2020, 08:01 AM

I'll do my best to get my hands on them tomorrow!

Posted by: iain 6th November 2020, 08:03 AM

Thanks!

Posted by: SmileyKylie 6th November 2020, 08:12 AM

Apple Music

2 Little Mix Confetti
24 Kylie Disco Deluxe
179 Kylie Disco Standard

Posted by: Sour Candy 6th November 2020, 08:48 AM

So many questions in the poll :DDDDD

I'd think LM will take it but with a very tiny margin. 50k vs. 48k or sth.

Posted by: M4NGO 6th November 2020, 09:43 AM

In the original poll I went for Kylie but I've now changed my mind and gone for Little Mix but I think they'll win by a narrow margin. Should be a very exciting chart battle anyway!

Posted by: Dobbo 6th November 2020, 10:04 AM

Little Mix by a considerable margin.

Posted by: Zak 6th November 2020, 10:12 AM

Which one of you made Confetti unplayable on Spotify 💀

Posted by: M4NGO 6th November 2020, 10:15 AM

Yeah lol I just had trouble playing it but it's working now.

Posted by: 365 6th November 2020, 10:27 AM

It's unplayable unless it's saved or off a playlist.

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 6th November 2020, 10:42 AM

When will we get updates as to how kylies doing?!?!?!!

Posted by: dj_tim_e 6th November 2020, 11:07 AM

OMG THIS KYLIE ALBUM IS PERFECT!!!!!

Posted by: ___∆___ 6th November 2020, 11:14 AM

As a lifelong fan even I’m shook at the Kylie album - bop after bop.

Posted by: Anth 6th November 2020, 11:20 AM

iTunes needs to sort itself out like now, keen to see how the albums are doing

Posted by: dj_tim_e 6th November 2020, 11:25 AM

I can understand why the deluxe tracks are deluxe tracks because the flow isn't quite the same but, that aside, this has got to be the most instant album of Kylie's since "X" for me.

Posted by: ___∆___ 6th November 2020, 11:26 AM

In the absence of iTunes...

Amazon

DISCO

Deluxe CD #6
Amazon Exclusive Vinyl #12
Standard CD #18
Standard Vinyl #227

CONFETTI

Standard CD #5
Deluxe CD #23
Vinyl #339

Posted by: M4NGO 6th November 2020, 11:49 AM

I've just given both albums a listen back to back and I have to say I'm preferring the Little Mix one on first listen. Lots of bops. As much as I hate to admit it, not many of the tracks on 'Disco' really grabbed me. Hopefully that will change with repeated listens as I've been a lifelong Kylie fan - but I was definitely underwhelmed on first listen, it's not instant for me at all

Posted by: 777666jason 6th November 2020, 12:12 PM

Is a shame both released this week practically any other week for either would have given them both an easy number 1

Posted by: Dark Horse 6th November 2020, 12:20 PM

Kylie’s DISCO album is her best album ever... and that coming from a supermega Kylie fan... Bop after Bop, hit after hit, its pure musical heaven ...

Posted by: SmileyKylie 6th November 2020, 12:36 PM

Have to Agree.

Disco could be Kylie's best album for dance/disco in her 33 year music career. There isn't a song I want to skip

Apple Music streaming update

2 Confetti Little Mix
10 Kylie Disco
69 Kylie Disco

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 6th November 2020, 12:38 PM

That's actually pretty decent already streaming wise for Kylie I have to say.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 6th November 2020, 12:44 PM

I think they're both gonna do 40-45k, I'll be optimistic and say Kylie can get it!

Kylie
Kylie
DISCO: 44,158
Confetti: 42,689
Say Something
Happiness

Can I just say, I'm utterly obsessed with 'Dance Floor Darling' and can't stop listening to it.

Posted by: caseclosed 6th November 2020, 12:49 PM

Pretty sure Kylie will take this now.

Posted by: tgl92 6th November 2020, 01:22 PM

Probably the first Kylie album I’ve listened to all the way through and it’s perfect. So many bops. I prefer little mix as artists but kylies album is better in my opinion.

Posted by: omrimayo 6th November 2020, 01:30 PM

Both album are good, and better than their last... but Kylie really smashed this album. I mean, way better album even though LM album is better than their last 2. Hope for Kylie, think LM.

Posted by: danvember 6th November 2020, 01:35 PM

who will win - Little Mix
Kylie sales - 42k
Little Mix sales - 46k
who'd I prefer - not really fussed, but would be nice to see Kylie do it for the fun stat of her having #1 albums in 5 decades, so I pick her
fave Disco song - Say Something
fave Confetti song - Break Up Song

Posted by: ___∆___ 6th November 2020, 01:35 PM

Another batch of signed CDs for Kylie were just added to HMV - all sold out in 14 minutes

Posted by: M4NGO 6th November 2020, 01:52 PM

There's one person who probably isn't too fussed which of the albums gets to number one and that's Maegan Cottone - she's co-written multiple tracks on both albums. Great result for her either way!

Posted by: Court 6th November 2020, 01:57 PM

I think the Apple Music albums chart is a little misleading. No songs from Kylies album are even in the top 1500 yet and yet her album is 10 on the chart? Meanwhile all of LMs album is already top 200.

However, it seems Kylies team has more albums to put on sale this week so she’ll probably take it.

Posted by: Lomadz 6th November 2020, 02:13 PM

Little Mix will take this but maybe closer than I thought, reckon they will win by 5k.

Posted by: ___∆___ 6th November 2020, 02:21 PM

1,500 extra signed CDs added to HMV so far today (Released in batches of 500 at a time) and all sold out plus they ship to UK only so all sales will count towards our chart - love a good battle

Posted by: shindymindy 6th November 2020, 02:22 PM

I can't call this now - it's all quite exciting

Posted by: omrimayo 6th November 2020, 02:29 PM

Let's hope for more, she needs somehow to overcome the streaming gap.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 6th November 2020, 02:30 PM

Where are you getting this info from?

Are you sure it’s not just cancelled orders which are becoming reavailable?

EDIT - Just seen the Nov 10 dispatch date.

Posted by: sammy01 6th November 2020, 02:48 PM

I've been saying this that Apple music album chart means absolutely nothing. I have no idea how it is calculated but it has no relevance on how well an album will do streaming sales wise. Melanie C was flying high on Apple music album chart but did sod all in streaming sales.

Posted by: dj_tim_e 6th November 2020, 02:52 PM

So today's deliveries have only been 40% successful. Signed Kylie CD and Confetti splatter disc arrived but no Jade picture disc or signed CD or the blue Disco from HMV.

Posted by: ___∆___ 6th November 2020, 02:57 PM

I’ve had Kylie deliveries from Amazon and HMV but zero from her official store - really bothers me when fans pre-order things months on advance and they can’t get it to us on release day.

Posted by: iain 6th November 2020, 03:02 PM

The amount of promo I’ve seen Kylie do today is absolutely insane. Starting with Australian radio interviews, Radio 2 interview with Zoe Ball plus 4 acoustic songs, Gaydio radio interview, Good Morning America interview and performance, a Facebook live later and Graham Norton tonight. Obviously not all this will be seen in the U.K., but she’s working.

Posted by: Lomadz 6th November 2020, 03:15 PM

Can you imagine Bieber, Drake or Ed Sheeran doing these bundles, would be crucified on here.

Posted by: Jade 6th November 2020, 03:18 PM

I think Kylie will take it but I'm rooting for Little Mix! Listened to both albums and prefer 'Confetti' - although most of the best songs were released ahead of the album. 'Say Something' does remain an absolute gem though and I picked 'Sweet Melody' from the Little Mix options.

Posted by: ___∆___ 6th November 2020, 03:19 PM

Next batch of signed Kylie CDs live on HMV - seems they are releasing 500 every half an hour or so https://store.hmv.com/store/music/cd/disco-limited-edition-signed-copies

Posted by: Davidson 6th November 2020, 03:28 PM

Looks like Kylie's signed copies are sold out again - I hope she keeps doing this as it really is helping rack up those sales.

Posted by: jlj 6th November 2020, 03:32 PM

DISCO is definitely the strongest album of the two for me. But I really am rooting for them both I wish they had different weeks

I’m back to thinking it’s gonna be Kylie who takes it again.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 6th November 2020, 03:37 PM

I don’t really think it’s a battle anymore Kylie has this easy.

She’s doing insane on Amazon bestsellers CD and digital.

Plus all these signed copies, fair play she’s putting in the work that’s for sure.

Posted by: ___∆___ 6th November 2020, 03:46 PM

Totally this - I’m a huge Kylie fan but they have both delivered solid albums and they literally could have both released in any other week and both got a #1.

Posted by: ___∆___ 6th November 2020, 03:47 PM

An extra 2k alone today from HMV signed CDs

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 6th November 2020, 04:44 PM

It baffles me that this chart battle involves the best and worst album of 2020. Kylie all the way for me. I had to turn little mixes album off before the first track even started is was that bad

Posted by: Anth 6th November 2020, 04:49 PM

How do you know if it’s the worst album of 2020 if you turned it off straight away?? The opening track is Break Up Song.. one of the best pop songs of the year

Posted by: shindymindy 6th November 2020, 04:50 PM

Sure Jan

Posted by: M4NGO 6th November 2020, 04:55 PM

It baffles me even more than someone who considers Kylie's album the best of the year can also consider Little Mix's album the worst of the year

Posted by: 365 6th November 2020, 04:59 PM

The worst album of the year for an album with break up song and sweet Melody?

Kylie's album is more consistent but it's a very good solid album from the girls.

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 6th November 2020, 05:00 PM

It’s just my opinion. Don’t get precious

Posted by: Sour Candy 6th November 2020, 05:01 PM

Wth

Posted by: ___∆___ 6th November 2020, 05:03 PM

And so it begins

Anyway back to facts -

Amazon Digital Album Chart

#1 Deluxe Version (Kylie)
#3 Little Mix
#4 Standard Version (Kylie)

Overall Charts

#3 Deluxe CD (Little Mix)
#5 Deluxe CD (Kylie)
#8 Standard CD (Kylie)
#10 Amazon Vinyl (Kylie)
#13 Standard CD (Little Mix)
#119 Standard Vinyl (Little Mix)
#149 Standard Vinyl (Kylie)

Posted by: Anth 6th November 2020, 05:11 PM

I think you neeed to actually listen to the entire album before making an opinion on whether it’s the worst album of the year or not

Posted by: Lomadz 6th November 2020, 05:12 PM

Troll

Posted by: shindymindy 6th November 2020, 05:13 PM

Your opinion makes no sense:

'I had to turn little mixes album off before the first track even started'???

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 6th November 2020, 05:17 PM

Yes I couldn’t cope with it. Sorry if they’re your favs I just didn’t have the mental energy to digest the album.

Kylies on the other hand... 😍🥰🥰🥰🥰

I’m not here to argue I’m here to get Kylie chart updates. Isn’t that what this forum is for

Posted by: shindymindy 6th November 2020, 05:21 PM

But surely you'd have to have listened to the first song to know you didn't like it....
So it's just the fact you don't like LM - that's fine, just say it

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 6th November 2020, 05:26 PM

It was an exaggeration of my opinion. Lighten up. I was getting into the chart battle spirit and making it fun. You don’t have to be so precious about it



Disco is better tho.

Posted by: T Boy 6th November 2020, 05:33 PM

How do you turn it off before the first track starts?

Doesn’t that just mean you don’t even attempt to play it?

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 6th November 2020, 05:40 PM

How does this thing work now anyway. Back in my time we had iTunes pop bars. Are they still a thing? When do we find out who’s winning

This is worse than the election. Little mix are definitely the TRUMP

Posted by: tgl92 6th November 2020, 05:45 PM

Sorry - I know they were probably posted in the last forum but does anyone have LM and Kylies previous album sales?

Posted by: 777666jason 6th November 2020, 05:45 PM

Sorry but how does making something up turn an argument fun

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 6th November 2020, 05:46 PM

Did anyone else cry when they first heard disco. I felt like Kylie was BACK.

If she gets number 1 with this does she break any records? Like in terms of number ones in consecutive decades?

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 6th November 2020, 05:48 PM

Sorry I think you’re confused lol nobody was arguing well I wasn’t. I’m just here for pop bars

Posted by: legendsglory 6th November 2020, 05:53 PM

You are quite the dramatic arent you

Posted by: 777666jason 6th November 2020, 05:54 PM

Making up a false statement particular to rile up the LM side is the exact definition of someone wanting to start an argument by trolling

Posted by: Zak 6th November 2020, 05:56 PM

The beef already starting and no numbers have rolled in yet. Gonna be an interesting week.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 6th November 2020, 05:59 PM

Chart battle spirit? Hardly, worst album of the year haha.

Jog on..

Posted by: 365 6th November 2020, 06:00 PM

Kylie #1 on iTunes!

It's a shame we never got to see if Little Mix were there earlier.

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 6th November 2020, 06:02 PM

“Jog on” 😂😂😂 sounds like some angry yummy mummy having a Facebook argument

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 6th November 2020, 06:04 PM

Posted by: iain 6th November 2020, 06:04 PM

So iTunes has updated, Kylie no 1 and 9, Little Mix no 2. She’ll probably stay there tomorrow after Graham Norton but LM will probably take over by the end of the weekend.

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 6th November 2020, 06:05 PM

Thanks for the updates I wouldn’t know where to look lol

Posted by: 777666jason 6th November 2020, 06:07 PM

LM will probably get there later in week but yay kylie,

Posted by: iain 6th November 2020, 06:14 PM

Also, it’s annoying that Kylie is split over 2 releases so we won’t always know who’s ahead if LM overtake her.

Posted by: miichaelking21 6th November 2020, 06:22 PM

I could see LM snatching the number one after The Search tonight or tomorrow on iTunes.

Posted by: 777666jason 6th November 2020, 06:26 PM

Is this the first LM release that doesnt have a deluxe version (extra tracks)

Posted by: iain 6th November 2020, 06:29 PM

For some context, Ariana did 18,100 album streams this week, we’ll have to wait to tomorrow to have an idea, but I imagine Little Mixes will be 8-12k based on LM5.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 6th November 2020, 06:57 PM

Streaming should still win this for Little Mix.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 6th November 2020, 07:01 PM

Streaming will advantage Little Mix but im hoping Kylie can come in much stronger on actual sales.

Posted by: Nick Jonas 6th November 2020, 07:42 PM

Kylie’s #1 and #9 on iTunes.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 6th November 2020, 07:44 PM

But streaming Little Mix could be 8-10k ahead of Kylie and that's going to be tough.

Anyway will have to see on the Monday update where we are at

Posted by: caseclosed 6th November 2020, 07:49 PM

Think it won't be that close, can see Kylie being 5k ahead of the girls by the end of the week.

Posted by: Bré 6th November 2020, 08:25 PM

Ruthie Williams is giving me life in this thread

Posted by: Jay* 6th November 2020, 08:35 PM

Ruthie Williams is a Dance Floor Darling

Posted by: iain 6th November 2020, 08:43 PM

I’m a bit nervous that everybody has overestimated the sales for these albums like they did the Ariana album. Hope I’m wrong.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 6th November 2020, 08:54 PM

Kylie’s got this easily and as a Little Mix fan and adoring ‘Confetti’ she really has stepped up with Disco so I’m
Not mad at all.

As fun as the battle is, it’s amazing for two pretty much bubblegum pop acts!

Little Mix will sell far better anyway, I just hope that Sweet Melody goes top 5!

Posted by: Lomadz 6th November 2020, 09:15 PM

Little Mix should win this comfortably with streams etc. Album is not bad either.

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 6th November 2020, 10:16 PM

When do we get the first pop bars update

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 6th November 2020, 10:41 PM

Kylie has delivered a good quality album with disco, 33 years in to her career and still able to release albums like this is great, and as a fan since day one it's great to get. I'd love the number 1 for her, I do like little mix and want them to well too so it's such a shame they are up against each other.

Posted by: ___∆___ 6th November 2020, 10:55 PM

Kylie -

#1 on iTunes USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Singapore, Malaysia, Mexico

Little Mix -

#1 on iTunes Indonesia, Lithuania, Greece

Posted by: shindymindy 6th November 2020, 11:08 PM

I’m pleasantly surprised to see Kylie do so well - kudos to her

Posted by: KM AIR 6th November 2020, 11:34 PM

She’s got it ! Yeah baby she’s got it !

Posted by: shindymindy 6th November 2020, 11:35 PM

Update

Kylie number 1 in 21 countries
Little mix number 1 in 16 countries

Posted by: Dark Horse 6th November 2020, 11:59 PM

i’m so glad Kylie got to number one on iTunes in the US...something i never thought it would happen🎉🕺🏾🎉....

Posted by: 777666jason 7th November 2020, 12:06 AM

Congrats to both so far

Posted by: SmileyKylie 7th November 2020, 12:12 AM

Kylie X 1 on iTunes in 24 countries including 4 of tier 1 countries. UK, USA, Germany and Australia

To be fair Kylie usually goes in high then drops off, so let's see if she can stay high for a while in some of those big markets

Posted by: :') 7th November 2020, 12:36 AM

How much market share does iTunes have though? Michael Buble sold 65 downloads to chart at #86 on the album download chart this week

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 7th November 2020, 12:41 AM

Both seem to be off to a strong start.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 7th November 2020, 02:47 AM

Yeah but he was 86...... Kylie is 1 at the moment.

Obviously some countries it will 2 or 3 copies will get you up to number 1 but in others it will be hundreds if not a thousand etc.

It's just good to see her having a good first day and getting positivity

Posted by: jlj 7th November 2020, 03:06 AM

What did the #1 most downloaded album sell on downloads. That’s more close to what Kylie will do. Whoever had that Kylie will likely do around double what that did (perhaps even more tbh) but that’s a closer example I’d say.

Posted by: Liam.k. 7th November 2020, 03:12 AM

Ariana was #3 and sold 2,050 on downloads. Sam was #2 (think they managed 2.5k, based on the mids) and Bring Me were #1.

'Golden' managed 9,010 downloads on its first week.

My vote:

Who will win the chart battle?
Kylie - DISCO

Kylie - what will DISCO's first week sales be?
50,000 - 54,999

Little Mix - what will Confetti's first week sales be?
45,000 - 49,999

Which album would you prefer to reach #1?
Kylie - DISCO

Bonus Question: Which is your favourite Kylie - DISCO single/pre-release song?
Say Something

Bonus Question: Which is your favourite Little Mix - Confetti single/pre-release song?
Happiness

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 7th November 2020, 08:33 AM

I hope your right! I love your avatar. What’s your pleasure is definitely my 2nd fav album of the year

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 7th November 2020, 08:55 AM

How well are rhythmix expected to do in the US?

Posted by: iain 7th November 2020, 08:57 AM

The Disco Deluxe has finally appeared in the Amazon top 100 of the year at no 96, so I guess it’s sold more on Amazon than the Little Mix standard and deluxe.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 7th November 2020, 09:06 AM

Yep not convinced Amazon sales are that high overall to be honest but at least she has 3 positions in top 10 currently so combined should be ok . But we know she selling out of those HMV signed stuff and of course her website etc.

Streaming is the concern for Kylie still

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 7th November 2020, 09:10 AM

When do we get the first updates usually please. I woke up at 4am and checked

Posted by: Dannyboy 7th November 2020, 09:28 AM

Monday 😂

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 7th November 2020, 09:36 AM

Ffs 😂😂

Posted by: miichaelking21 7th November 2020, 09:45 AM

Little Mix are killing it on streaming, with Sweet Melody up to 6 on Spotify & 3 on Apple Music, plus all the tracks in the Top 100 on both platforms.

This race is going to be so tight honestly, just gotta say that personally these albums are both phenomenal pop albums, and it’d be nice to show support to both these acts who have worked their asses off to achieve the career longevity they have.

Posted by: jadesdaily 7th November 2020, 09:45 AM

all of little mix’s album tracks are in top 100 of spotify uk, most with over 100,000 streams. same for apple music uk. in spotify 5 of them are top 50. kylies got some competition cos don’t see any of hers in spotify top 200 and only 2 in apple music 😬

Posted by: jvckkk 7th November 2020, 09:59 AM

I think Little Mix’s streams will be their advantage and Kylie’s sales and bundles (with signed vinyl still to come apparently) for her diehards will be hers. It’s definitely going to be a close one I think.

Regardless, both labels win since these albums are looking to be two of the biggest openers of the year.

Posted by: Wall 7th November 2020, 10:10 AM

That’s a huge debut for Little Mix and a very underwhelming debut for Kylie, I would have expected 1/2 songs in the top 1,500. I guess everything will depends on signed copies and bundles. There should be a midweeks today with albums but Kylie would need to have a 6-7k less imo today to hang on to it!

Posted by: 777666jason 7th November 2020, 10:23 AM

If LM dont get it a SM repeak would be a good consolation

Posted by: SmileyKylie 7th November 2020, 10:58 AM

If you were a Kylie fan you would know this is not a surprise lol
She thanks personally the streaming service every time she gets added to a playlist lol.

Don't forget though too it's the quality of stream not just the quantity

Posted by: SmileyKylie 7th November 2020, 11:01 AM

Underwhelming in what way? She is number one on UK, Australia, USA and Germany iTunes , literally 4 of the top 5 markets in the world.

She doesn't and never has got streaming support but let's not kid ourselves some artists would love to have 7,000,000 listeners on Spotify a month.

She is doing fine

Posted by: iain 7th November 2020, 11:01 AM

Can we see the Spotify top 1500? I’m not surprised she doesn’t have anything in the Spotify top 200, she was comparatively low down on the NMF playlist.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 7th November 2020, 11:02 AM

I stick by my decision that LM win this but Kylies opening week sales should be one of the biggest of the year.

Ps. Kylie sold 1500-2000 signed CDs quietly on HMV alone yesterday in about 40 mins to UK purchasers.

Posted by: Sour Candy 7th November 2020, 11:03 AM

Charts don't measure "the quality of streams". They are about quantity, whether sales or streams.

Posted by: jadesdaily 7th November 2020, 11:10 AM

the spotify uk charts are already filtered and only use non-bot like streams so lm’s track would have even more but we won’t find out till later so they should’ve made around 2000 sales from streams so far, most likely 10,000 by the end of charting week

Posted by: Nick Jonas 7th November 2020, 12:25 PM

Kylie 30k vs Little Mix 27k

Posted by: Court 7th November 2020, 12:31 PM

That would be missing streaming date right? So it’s probably even closer?

Posted by: jvckkk 7th November 2020, 12:32 PM

It’s so close. Little Mix should make their gains in streaming but I imagine Kylie will in pure sales too. I could see this coming down to very slim margins.

Posted by: ___∆___ 7th November 2020, 12:33 PM

It’s going to be a stressful week

Posted by: Nick Jonas 7th November 2020, 12:33 PM

Yep! Although great to see they are both ahead of Ariana & Sam already.

Posted by: legendsglory 7th November 2020, 12:35 PM

With streaming added it will be even closer! It’s going to be very close by the end of tracking week. So exciting

Posted by: dandy* 7th November 2020, 12:37 PM

Little Mix doing better than I expected them to, I thought they may have found themselves with similar numbers to Ariana last week and was expecting Kylie to walk it.

Posted by: Sour Candy 7th November 2020, 12:37 PM

I can see Gaga holding on with the best opening this year still

Posted by: CloseDatMouf 7th November 2020, 12:40 PM

oml those are amazing numbers

Posted by: gooddelta 7th November 2020, 12:58 PM

I guess I’d expect Little Mix to take it then? I can see more Kylie fans buying on day 1 (including pre-orders) and Little Mix will also make up that gap on streams unless Kylie significantly pulls ahead.

I’ve bought the deluxe CD of both. Not heard either yet but I generally would favour Kylie. However Sweet Melody and Break Up Song are two of Little Mix’s best singles in years.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 7th November 2020, 12:59 PM

I still think Kylie, her promo and the Infinite Disco event will help push sales more.

She has signed Vinyls coming too.

The Signed HMV copies (2,000) wouldn't have been added yet either because it's states dispatch on the 10th.

Posted by: iain 7th November 2020, 01:01 PM

It’s going to be close. Kylie doubled her opening Golden figures of 24k, I doubt she’ll double these but they could go up significantly, especially after Graham Norton last night.

Posted by: Sour Candy 7th November 2020, 01:08 PM

With that small gap, I would think LM are pretty close on Monday mids already and overtake as the week goes ahead.

Posted by: caseclosed 7th November 2020, 01:10 PM

So insanely happy about the sales!!!

Kylie and Little Mix have really both went and outdone Ariana’s and Sam’s full first week with preorder and first day numbers without streaming. British pop legends! Both defying industry odds to be honest.

Posted by: iain 7th November 2020, 01:10 PM

1 Kylie Minogue - 30,242
2 Little Mix - 27,653

Posted by: shadow2009 7th November 2020, 01:12 PM

Confetti back to number 1 on Apple Music.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 7th November 2020, 01:13 PM

Those sales for both are ABSOLUTELY incredible given how poor Music sales have become.

I just want both to do over 50k but I guess it depends if they both push different formats.

Posted by: Bjork 7th November 2020, 01:15 PM

come on Kylie last this week!
very good sales for both, incredible how much they did in 1 day
just on preorders and 1st day sales with no streaming yet

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 7th November 2020, 01:17 PM

f***, this is gonna be a tense week. It's making the election look like small fry.

I'm not very confident she can hold that, although it's not impossible.

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 7th November 2020, 01:26 PM

This is distressing I was hoping the gap would be bigger

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 7th November 2020, 01:27 PM

What’s this about jesy being poorly or something on Twitter. Such a cheap tactic for more sales.

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 7th November 2020, 01:29 PM

Oh god I know my nerves are shattered 😂

Posted by: legendsglory 7th November 2020, 01:29 PM

You do realise not everything revolves around this ‘chart battle’ right?

Posted by: Zak 7th November 2020, 01:31 PM

Some Kylie stans are always doing the most in these threads.

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 7th November 2020, 01:33 PM

Sorry I don’t follow this often but when do we usually get the streaming update pop bars? So then we know more accurate figures?

Posted by: troylovesmusic 7th November 2020, 01:33 PM

LOL you can’t be serious

Posted by: caseclosed 7th November 2020, 01:36 PM

How can you be so insensitive? Jesy has suffered with mental health issues since 2011. Think twice before you post something like this and I hope you never let yourself get affected by stuff so you don’t experience the horrors it provides.


It doesn’t even make sense for a member to be missing to boost sales. Honestly, just log out.

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 7th November 2020, 01:38 PM

Omg I read loads of people on here saying Sam smith only came out as “they” to boost sales nobody battered an eyelid I suggest Jesy being poorly is for sales and get a lynch mob after me so funny

EITHER WAY

Looking forward to the next update. I anticipate it’s gonna be way closer than this though

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 7th November 2020, 01:38 PM

Little Mix have barely done anything different this release week.

It's Kylie that seems to want it more and entering into all sorts of tactics (Which I respect) and BMG have commented on the battle etc..

BUT

Little Mix haven't done anything as yet and are selling off their own merit.

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 7th November 2020, 01:40 PM

Yes Kylie the work horse she’s an inspiration to us all showing these young’ens how it’s done 🥰🥰

Posted by: ___∆___ 7th November 2020, 01:41 PM

I think they are both great at the tactics tbh - Little Mix have had signed polaroids, signed vinyl and released signed CDs via their website and Amazon long before Kylie got in on the act.

I’m not sure either are selling those numbers of their own merits but rather by both having passionate fanbases that will buy multiple versions.

Posted by: iain 7th November 2020, 01:44 PM

You mean their merit plus multiple signed editions, a huge number of vinyl variants, a prime time TV show where they get to perform? I’m not criticising them or Kylie because these things are standard in 2020, but they definitely want it.

Posted by: T Boy 7th November 2020, 01:45 PM

Is Ruthie Williams Adelita?

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 7th November 2020, 01:47 PM

I don’t know what that is sorry

Posted by: Bjork 7th November 2020, 01:49 PM

Adelita only cares about the GAGA so nope...

Posted by: Jack 7th November 2020, 01:54 PM

If anyone said that, I'm pretty certain people would've said something????

Why would she riak her reputation lying about mental health issues to get some album sales? Don't be so insensitive and think about others on here who may be suffering with similar issues before you post next time please.

Posted by: Wall 7th November 2020, 01:56 PM

!!!!!!

That’s pretty savage likes! No need

Posted by: Wall 7th November 2020, 01:58 PM

This makes no sense?

Both of them are selling at their own merit? They’ve both done bundles, they’ve both done as much copies as ever. Both have posted about it as you would expect? RCA have commentated too, that’s honestly a really ridiculous comment especially when Little Mix are promoting on their own show

Posted by: Jack 7th November 2020, 01:59 PM

Really professional from a moderator.

Posted by: Court 7th November 2020, 01:59 PM

Yes, Jesy decided not to appear on the finale of their TV show and the hosting gig at the EMAs just to sell a couple extra copies. You all got her! Nice detective work!

Posted by: Wall 7th November 2020, 02:00 PM

Besides Little Mix with streaming added should beat Kylie now unless Kylie and her team have more ideas up their sleeve but I can see Little Mix pulling out all the stops, I think come Monday the gap will be identical if not Little Mix in the lead.

Posted by: Dawid 7th November 2020, 02:00 PM

Aw Jack, bore off and grow up. Get the full edit in next time. You’re honestly on another planet and stop being dramatic as always

Posted by: Jack 7th November 2020, 02:03 PM

You're encouraging comments like that with "!!!" all for a bit of clout??? I and many others suffer from mental health issues so it's not something I take lightly.

I wasn't personal by saying "on another planet" and it's not nice to downlay things like that by being called dramatic.

Posted by: Knightr634 7th November 2020, 02:03 PM

How do you stream an album to count towards the charts? Is it playing 10 straight songs from the album in a row secures 1 whole album stream and then 100 streams count as 1 sale? I'm so lost with streaming and how it works in charts!

If this is the case though, then when you look at the streams for the respective album songs (that haven't already been released prior to the album) Little Mix seem to be around 15,000 average per song and Kylie seems to be on 5000 average per song on yesterdays streams. What that means in terms of adding to the sales total I don't know. Also, I'm guessing these are world-wide streams so who knows what the UK figure is.

Posted by: slowdown73 7th November 2020, 02:05 PM

So Kylie has already sold more than kiss me once achieved in its first week. Hopefully, she can keep the lead but even if she doesn’t, she’s still sold more than most number one albums this year.

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 7th November 2020, 02:05 PM

Yeah I second this. I listened to half kylies album before but then a podcast. Does that not count as a stream then? Pls help

Posted by: JosephStyles 7th November 2020, 02:06 PM

Remember to discuss midweek sales figures over in the http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=240022 thread, this topic is for your own guesses!

Posted by: miichaelking21 7th November 2020, 02:06 PM

I think their pure sales will be very similar come the week end with Kylie slightly ahead, but I do now think streaming will give Little Mix the victory.

Personally I think Kylie will easily get another Number 1 album, whilst LM would probably benefit from it more - with people constantly saying they’re past their best / on their way out, it would shut those people up a little.

Plus I do find it so great that in terms of modern success, Kylie has completely eclipsed Madonna.

Posted by: Wall 7th November 2020, 02:07 PM

Firstly, a lot of us suffer from mental health, I do myself but if your commentating on something please provide the full response because you’re just trying to cause drama for the sake of it.

You are being incredibly dramatic though and you always are, now please refrain from ever replying to anything I post because you’re ongoing comments are just boring tbh and I’m not wasting my time replying to you.

Plenty of people batted an eyelid and have continued to defend him (sometimes a bit too much) when people get their pronoun incorrect ever since, so don't talk such utter tripe.

Also even if people didn't bat an eyelid it doesn't make your own baseless rude insensitive comments are less than it is.

How you’re not already banned, is a mystery tbf

Posted by: Jack 7th November 2020, 02:12 PM

I'm not being incredibly dramatic, I'm really fed up of you belittling me because I'm passionate about certain subjects. I'm not trying to cause drama, I just think "!!!!" insinuating that it's funny or something as a MODERATOR is uncalled for.

Just do better. You're bored because you're being called out.

Posted by: Andrew. 7th November 2020, 02:12 PM

Kylie having a lead like that before streaming would deffo indicate LM are gonna win, but I have a feeling this is gonna be close af right the way through. I'd still say Little Mix but I'm not certain at all. Kylie's album is better but I'd love to see LM take the #1. I don't mind that much tbh, they both deserve it.

You did kinda misrepresent what he said by only quoting half the post tbf tho

Posted by: Brightest Blue 7th November 2020, 02:13 PM

Banned for what exactly?! It’ll be interesting if they ban me tbh, considering ‘mgmt’ took years to ban Vidcapper

It’s a bit odd that Jack always seems to get grief on here for no reason whatsoever

Posted by: Ruthie Williams 7th November 2020, 02:13 PM

People have moved on from that comment now so probably best to stop quoting me and just move along with your day

I said what I said. Oh well, didn’t mean to offend but it’s done now. I highly doubt anyone is going to lose sleep over it.

I still maintain my comment that BMG cares more about the #1 than RCA do about Little Mix.

They take every opportunity to comment on it in the press...


Also, LOL at the Kylie fans everywhere they are so bitter.

Besides the obvious troll that's been winding people up in this thread, where? Most just want to enjoy the chart battle, but it becomes difficult when Little Mix fans make comments like this tarring all Kylie fans with the same brush because of one/a few. No better.

Twitter, Facebook (commenting on Little Mix’s posts), Insta and Popjustice before the comments were removed.

Posted by: Court 7th November 2020, 02:39 PM

I’m not the police but if you edited the post you can’t get mad at someone for not quoting your full post when that was the full post at one point. You could’ve just explained that at the beginning when you were called out but instead you got defensive and then that made it seem like you were taken out of context, which you weren’t.

Anyway, I think Kylies gonna take it. She was already putting out additional signed copies on Day 1 and will probably have more. I just don’t think RCA UK is prepared for this battle and the streaming alone won’t cut it.

Posted by: ___∆___ 7th November 2020, 02:41 PM

Search ‘Little Mix Kylie’ and you will see it’s LM fans I think.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 7th November 2020, 03:11 PM

You all go on about streams being added yep I agree LM will win that battle easily but let's look at the current physicals/downloads.

Amazon UK

Little Mix

4 and 21

Kylie

5,7,9

iTunes UK

Little Mix 2

Kylie 1 and 9

HMV

Kylie signed CD and Vinyl 1 and 2 in their best sellers over all products.


Plus both have their websites
Plus Supermarket sales

Kylie only did promo late last night and still more to come
Little Mix also will have more to come

BMG will be able to see the streaming sales or work them amount with appropriate sales and could release more formats and more signed stuff.

That said Little Mix could do as well

Basically ALL TO PLAY For!

Ps. We haven't seen discounting yet either 😜

Posted by: shadow2009 7th November 2020, 03:13 PM

Is there no chance that the loser could get the number one the week after or some point down the line?

Posted by: dandy* 7th November 2020, 03:16 PM

It's not impossible but I'd say it is very unlikely given they rely quite heavily on a core fanbase.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 7th November 2020, 03:16 PM

Not for a while no. Maybe in January if they had a sale.

So many big releases coming in next few weeks.

£3.50 cassettes sale 😂😂

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 7th November 2020, 03:22 PM

It's not like the Little Mix fans are any better in that respect, I keep seeing articles mentioning the chart battle on Facebook (particularly the OCC's page) flooding the comments to call Kylie an "old woman" etc.

Granted both sets of fans are behaving appallingly across the internet, but let's be fair about it.

Posted by: Mart!n 7th November 2020, 03:23 PM

I need to wear my battle gear in here... hang on, back in 10

Posted by: SmileyKylie 7th November 2020, 03:25 PM

This is a few fans. Not the majority.

We are just having decent chat and banter mainly and pointing out strengths and weaknesses.

To be honest I thought Kylie would be well behind in the first data as LM had all those formats but seems she isn't so all to play for

Posted by: ___∆___ 7th November 2020, 03:27 PM

Little Mix have reduced their CD from £10.99 to £10 on Amazon - ready for that £5 sale tomorrow.

Posted by: Mart!n 7th November 2020, 03:28 PM

I wait till Thursday, and get OCC to do a re-count

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 7th November 2020, 04:10 PM

The £10.99 to £10 reduction was actually just Amazon adjusting prices don't worry LM won't reduce they never do

Posted by: SmileyKylie 7th November 2020, 05:07 PM

Wonder if Kylie Ann is at home right now in the Infinate Disco stream in the background signing away a new bundle 4000 Disco cassettes 😂

Posted by: SmileyKylie 7th November 2020, 05:12 PM

Little Mix outstreaming Ariana is a huge thing I think for this chart battle.

Ariana had 18,000+ streaming sales so if Little Mix do that there is no chance for Kylie

Posted by: caseclosed 7th November 2020, 05:13 PM

Did they outstream Ariana? That doesn’t make sense considering she filled the Top 30.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 7th November 2020, 05:17 PM

Well not sure how it works as on Apple Music it says Little Mix now 1 and Ariana 2 which would suggest they are streaming heavier?

But streaming rules and charts are beyond me

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 7th November 2020, 05:19 PM

LM won’t have 18,000 streaming sales.

Ariana’s tracks have all fallen now in its second week...

It wouldn’t have been 1 against Ariana’s release week last week.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 7th November 2020, 05:33 PM

Kylie number 1 on Irish itunes now!

Posted by: Cowboystyle 7th November 2020, 05:34 PM

That's pretty unfair, In general Kylie is at a huge disadvantage, being a 52 yo woman. She gets almost zero radio play outside of R2 and the same with streaming playlist support so the fact she is even in contention for the Number 1 alongside the U.K.s most popular pop group is pretty amazing. I personally think LM will get it on streams but obviously I want Kylie to get the number 1. Incidentally this is my favourite Kylie album in a long time!

Posted by: HausofHitchcock 7th November 2020, 05:34 PM

I am thinking the win will go to Little Mix off those initial sales - the gap seems too small for Kylie to lead when streaming is factored in.

I have heard Kylie's album and it's great, and hearing Little Mix's later today so personal choice has no bearing on my prediction.

I am a much bigger fan of Kylie in general, but Little Mix's singles from this era have been FIRE (especially Sweet Melody which is becoming one of their ultimates for me!), while Magic is one of Kylie's weakest singles :') so IDK

Posted by: SmileyKylie 7th November 2020, 06:25 PM

How much streaming are you expecting LM to do all of you?

If they do 12k and Kylie does 2k for the week then that 10k difference is 1.5k a day streaming sales.

If Kylie is selling more downloads and Physicals by a few hundred a day then I think on Mondays chart it should be quite even on about 33-35k each?

Then it's up to both acts and record companies what they do next and how much they want it....

There is no doubt both will probsbly have more signed stuff and formats but will they want to sell it all in week one or spread out week by week to avoid a Vamps like drop in charts

Ps. Kylie sold 1500-2000 CDs in 40 mins yesterday on HMV..... She is still capable

Posted by: sammy01 7th November 2020, 06:30 PM

The trash you read on this forum.

Both are desperate for it, Little Mix aren't signing thousands of albums to the point they won't be able to wipe their own arses when they are 50 because of arthritis for laughs and giggles.
There is 1858974 bundles on their store for no reason. Their label aren't paying for streaming playlist support out the goodness of their heart.

Posted by: Lomadz 7th November 2020, 06:51 PM

Little Mix have won the battle by the looks of it but it is all a bit desperate, especially from Kylie. Some of you are funny, if these tactics were being used by other artists you'd be saying how pathetic they are.

Posted by: iain 7th November 2020, 06:55 PM

DISCO Spotify WW Day 1 : 2.641,974

This is over double of what Golden did on day 1. If this continues, I’d say Kylie could get around 4k from streaming (Golden got just under 2k)

Posted by: iain 7th November 2020, 06:56 PM

Not sure what is desperate?

Posted by: ___∆___ 7th November 2020, 06:59 PM

I’ve seen a lot more desperate tactics from others - major price reductions, voice notes, over selling signed items that ship months later, competitions etc.,

At the moment it hasn’t reached that

Posted by: Sour Candy 7th November 2020, 07:01 PM

I think the point is, that it might go there if it's close later in the week. Certainly see BMG trying the sell all signed formats from minidisks to vinyls if the battle is close.

Posted by: iain 7th November 2020, 07:04 PM

You can’t call somebody desperate now for something that may or may not happen later in the week

And it could just as easily be Little Mix with price reductions, signings etc.

Posted by: Lomadz 7th November 2020, 07:20 PM

True, and to be honest I'm not critiquing as such however I see so many artists get slated for things on here but when it comes to people's faves the same issues are ok.

I'm so glad we are getting some good sales for POP albums though, its what we need. Not bothered massively who wins, would be a great achievement for either.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 7th November 2020, 07:30 PM

I’m a little Mix fan but wtf at them doing printed pics and calling them ‘signed’

Such poor planning by RCA seems so rushed, couldn’t think of anything better than the same promo pics with a signature Jesy doesn’t even use? Haha

Posted by: Jay1982 7th November 2020, 08:32 PM

Kylie is going to take it, even with streaming LM won’t sell as many physicals.

Posted by: 365 7th November 2020, 08:36 PM

Little Mix are fairly strong physical sellers though !

Posted by: Liam.k. 7th November 2020, 08:39 PM

Tbf 'LM5' did slightly better on pure sales than 'Golden' did in its first week (47,384 vs. 46,162).

Posted by: Lomadz 7th November 2020, 08:44 PM

Looking at it, it's going to take a lot for Kylie to beat them..they have it.

Posted by: Jay1982 7th November 2020, 08:46 PM

There popularity has waned and streaming numbers won’t be what some are saying, I will be surprised if it’s more than 10,000, Kylie has sold over 30,000 easily in pre sales.

Posted by: Wall 7th November 2020, 08:46 PM

TO ALL FANS - BOTH HAVE DONE THE EXACT SAME TACTICS, YOU CAN’T DRAG ONE ARTIST FOR THEIR TACTICS WHEN THE OTHER ARTISTS HAS DONE THE EXACT SAME

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 7th November 2020, 08:49 PM

I think everyone’s overestimating LM...

Sales were much higher in 2018, like others have said they maybe aren’t quite as big now as they were on the back of WLM and having X-Factor performances etc...

I genuinely think Kylie will smash it, LM physical / digital sales will drop off Quicker than Kylie I think.

Posted by: Lomadz 7th November 2020, 08:51 PM

I don't like either more than the other to be fair.

Posted by: Court 7th November 2020, 09:30 PM

Obviously we'll see how they're holding up throughout the week but their streaming is better now than it was for LM5 and they almost hit 10,000 then.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 7th November 2020, 09:42 PM

If todays sales are correct, Kylie has a 3k advantage, i know streaming isn't counted and Little Mix will gain there, both have casual sales to get and kylie will pick up some streaming points but prob a nice bit lower than little mix. Both have great sales for 1 day, 30k for kylie an 27k for Little Mix. Them sales alone would be seen as fairly ok for a full weeks sales so both should be easily topping 40k at worst.

Posted by: Anth 7th November 2020, 11:54 PM

Hope this doesn’t sound like a stupid question but.. Kylie and Little Mox both had 24k and 25k in preorders I think? So today’s updates as great as they were technically means that Kylie only sold an extra 5k on its first day of release and LM did 3k which really isn’t a lot ? Bringing the tallies up to 30k and 27k?

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 7th November 2020, 11:56 PM

Yeah totally Kylie has it in the bag.

Unless the EMA’s give Little Mix a huge boost which is never going to happen.

Posted by: Court 8th November 2020, 12:34 AM

I think those preorder numbers were before Kylie released the special Spotify vinyl so she probably was a little higher than that by release day.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 8th November 2020, 02:25 AM

Kylie has loads of promo coming yet which should help eat away at the streaming advantage little mix will have, plus kylie will pick up some streaming points.

Posted by: markivj 8th November 2020, 02:52 AM

What were Bruce Springsteen's most recent #1 album sales? I'd like to think Spotify and such wouldn't have helped him either? I want to say Kylie just because she'll have a big physical market and unlike Bruce, actually has a rabid fanbase that would buy a signed CD in every colour just to get her to the top, especially if they know whom she's up against. Are there any "get K to #1" campaigns going on in SayGay?

Posted by: Bré 8th November 2020, 03:49 AM

I do think Kylie only having a 3k lead before streaming factors in probably means Little Mix will end up overtaking her now. But who knows ~

Posted by: SmileyKylie 8th November 2020, 07:38 AM

Urm.....there are no shops open....... Doesn't help

Posted by: SmileyKylie 8th November 2020, 07:39 AM

Rabid fanbase? 🧐
Not a nice word to use to be honest

Posted by: ___∆___ 8th November 2020, 07:59 AM

Rabid fanbase?

SayGay? (I think you’ll find it’s called SayHey)

There is a campaign to get Kylie to #1 that talks about streaming, downloading etc,, (You know the standard things fans do), on the flip side there is a PayPal pool of £2,000 that LM fans are sending out to fans to buy extra copies - I know which one comes across as ‘rabid’ out of those 2.

Posted by: matttaylor92 8th November 2020, 08:16 AM

I have listened to both albums and I am a fan of both acts. For me, DISCO is a much more solid and cohesive album. Kylie deserves to win!

I wasn't sure who I wanted to win a while ago, and I'm still not sure! I adore both albums. Though if I had to go for one, probably Kylie as it's the one I think I'll be playing more overall

Posted by: HausofHitchcock 8th November 2020, 07:42 PM

Having listened to both albums now, I am team.... LITTLE MIX!

Confetti > Disco

but both are great albums and I am so happy they are both selling the way they are.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 8th November 2020, 07:56 PM

Just to say anyone buying the Deluxe Disco from Kylie.com it's now a pre order for the repress on 4th Dec so will not count towards this week chart........

Posted by: oof 8th November 2020, 08:19 PM

Disco Deluxe I think is only still available on Amazon? That's where I had to buy it but not complaining as I didn't have to pay for shipping.
Kylie for #1

Posted by: SmileyKylie 8th November 2020, 08:31 PM

They have a special exclusive Disco Deluxe back up on her website as the other one sold out on Thursday.

Put they are doing another pressing for it so it's back on pre order for 4th Dec release £14.99 it's a different cases book cover I think? Or something is diffenrt about it

It’s exactly the same sleeve, tracks, insert - they oversold it previously hence why they are pressing more and it’s not available until December 4th

I caved after how much Leigh-Anne served during the VMAs performance 😍

Posted by: SmileyKylie 8th November 2020, 09:20 PM

What I mean is, it's different to the Amazon one isn't it?

I do feel it's all a ploy by BMG who must be confident of they are doing a pee order on release week for a month's time 😝😝 get that longevity. Wonder if the Infinite Disco will be on ITV that week 😜

Posted by: markivj 9th November 2020, 02:42 AM

I haven't heard Confetti, although I did like all 3 singles so far.

But gosh - Disco.... I'm obviously biased as I'm a Kylie loon, but this album has been one of the most consistent since Fever 2001. Every single day, I have a new set of favourites. My current is "Real groove", Supernova and of course Dancefloor Darling. And I love "Last chance" too.... don't know why some loons are losing their sh it that the chorus is like Voulez-vous. Isn't that a good thing?

I so so so hope she nabs the #1 this week.

Not because Confetti is bad (I haven't heard it yet) or that I don't like LM (they're quite alright!) . ... I just think Disco is a brilliant record and deserves to be #1.

Also, is it just me or is this the first time that even the traditionally salty reviews by the known culprits have been glowing about Disco? I'm yet to read a single bad review.

Posted by: markivj 9th November 2020, 02:56 AM

Also, again, Kylie-loon speaking here....but I'm quite surprised and amazed that she's held on to iTunes for 3 days in a row! I thought she'd have fallen by now. Both versions in the top 10. And Disco #1 on USA itunes too. Wow! 3 days in a row!

Posted by: Sour Candy 9th November 2020, 07:07 AM

Well, Mariah's Glitter reached #1 on iTunes a couple of years ago and didn't re-enter the official album chart so that doesn't probably mean much in the big picture.

Posted by: miichaelking21 9th November 2020, 07:24 AM

I read on Twitter somewhere that Little Mix have closed the gap to just over 1k? not sure how true it is.

Posted by: Liam.k. 9th November 2020, 07:32 AM

I don’t think the midweeks are released to insiders this early, probably more like 10ish.

Posted by: miichaelking21 9th November 2020, 07:39 AM

ah probably just some fans trying to hype Confetti then 😂

Posted by: Dark Horse 9th November 2020, 09:53 AM

yes but it only stayed there for a couple of hours, while Disco has been at number 1 for 3 days and a half which means it will probably end up in the Digital albums top 3 if not number 1...

Posted by: iain 9th November 2020, 10:08 AM

Not really sure where to post this, but Kylie is a shareholder in a new streaming service called Roxi. Magic is going to be used on the advert. I think the last thing the world needs now is another streaming platform, but it’s quite intriguing if it’s going to cater towards a different, older audience.
I mean despite the success of Disco, none of the tracks are on any Spotify playlists which is just weird, so maybe there is a gap in the market.

Kylie Minogue has become a shareholder in a British music streaming start-up and is the face of the company’s new advertising campaign.

Roxi will attempt to attract customers with a new television advertising campaign launching next week on more than 100 channels. The campaign will run for more than a month and end on December 21.

The business is also hoping that Britons will choose to subscribe to Roxi over rival services because it includes playlists produced by Ms Minogue as well as its other famous backers.

also not the same being #1 on iTunes album on release day on a Friday or a Saturday, that's quite a lot of sales,
than #1 on iTunes album on a Wed evening for 5 minutes, that's literally 5 sales

Posted by: miichaelking21 9th November 2020, 12:13 PM

that gap is slowly closing... I do think LM might clinch it by the week end by a hairline

Posted by: SmileyKylie 9th November 2020, 03:20 PM

Kylie slipping on Amazon and iTunes

Little Mix remaining more stable

With streaming added LM probably eating in slightly to Kylie lead.

Posted by: 365 9th November 2020, 03:24 PM

She's not really. She's still #1 on iTunes.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 9th November 2020, 03:26 PM

Kylie has The One Show, This Morning and 2k signed copies to be added though...

Little Mix have This Morning and the splatter is sold out which was HMV’s bestseller.

Imagine the scenes if they both ended on exactly the same sales haha!

Posted by: iain 9th November 2020, 03:58 PM

I’m still a bit...sceptical about those 2000 signed copies for Kylie. There are some signed HMV copies still to be dispatched, but I’ve no idea where the 2000 came from, and it seems to be widely quoted at the moment as fact.

Posted by: jvckkk 9th November 2020, 04:25 PM

I’ve switched up who I think will win several times here, but I’m holding firm with Kylie taking it, although by a slim margin. Supposedly she has signed vinyls on the way and a couple of larger promo slots still to go which I think will *just* edge Little Mix out.

Amazing figures for both artists though, they should be so happy.

Posted by: oof 9th November 2020, 04:51 PM

Does anyone know of any rule in place if they were both to, hypothetically, reach the exact same number of sales?

Posted by: JosephStyles 9th November 2020, 05:08 PM

Fractional sales would be looked at (so decimal figures that would typically come from streaming figures)

Posted by: SmileyKylie 9th November 2020, 05:18 PM

Urm she was 1 and 6 on iTunes now 1 and 16

Amazon she was 4,5 and 8 she is now 7,8 and 16

That is slipping

It’s all to play for tbh

Posted by: miichaelking21 9th November 2020, 08:28 PM

it originally let me put in 1000 on the two signed vinyl bundle and vinyl / signed cd bundle for Little Mix.

now it’s just 13 of the first and 152 of the other.

that’s two sales per bundle so almost 4000 sales...

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 9th November 2020, 08:29 PM

Sadly there were only 100 of the LP bundle and 350 of the signed deluxe bundle.

Also half of those are non UK judging by the people saying they ordered..

Still every copy helps I guess.

Posted by: miichaelking21 9th November 2020, 08:32 PM

oh really, wonder why it let me load that many into my basket 🥴

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 9th November 2020, 08:34 PM

Did you click checkout etc...?

It adds it I think then when you go to checkout deducts it.

All these expensive bundles from both Kylie and LM are making them some serious cash.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 9th November 2020, 08:56 PM

Why couldn't the older demographics just use the existing streaming services?

Posted by: iain 9th November 2020, 09:09 PM

For whatever reason Spotify doesn’t really cater for an older demographic in its playlists, which make up a large portion of its appeal. If you look at 2 of the biggest selling albums from the past couple of weeks, you won’t find Bruce Springsteen or Kylie’s music on any major playlists. I use Spotify extensively, but I never venture into their curated playlists, so I’m not really getting full value from it.

Posted by: Sour Candy 9th November 2020, 09:11 PM

No but the albums are still there? If you are able to type "Kylie" on Spotify search field, you'll reach Disco with two clicks.

Posted by: iain 9th November 2020, 09:15 PM

You’re missing the point, not everybody wants to listen to an entire Kylie album, they want to listen to a playlist which caters to their tastes, something which Spotify struggles to do for the older generation. I can see why the prospect of that is very appealing for somebody like Kylie, basically have radio 2 equivalent in a very popular playlist.

Posted by: lotita 9th November 2020, 09:15 PM

• What will Confetti's first week sales be?: 46k
• Which album would you prefer to reach #1?: Disco
• Which is your favourite Disco single/pre-release song?: "I Love It"
• Which is your favourite Confetti single/pre-release song?: "Sweet Melody"

I would greatly welcome that sales outcome when the album chart is revealed on Friday

Posted by: sammy01 9th November 2020, 11:39 PM

They can but playlists and the set up is aimed at younger people and artists.

Imagine a New Music Friday playlist with Sheryl Crow, Kylie and so on top 10 not Drake and Co.

Posted by: ___∆___ 10th November 2020, 08:10 AM

I think it’s going to be neck and neck today

Posted by: Bjork 10th November 2020, 08:32 AM

What? She has 3 songs in the most key playlists, Hot Hits and Today's Top Hits Lol actually never seen anything like that, the crazy support she's getting on Spotify playlist for the album not only the single. Her real streams would be only a fraction of what they are if Ariuana didn't get crazy playlist support for her album tracks. Her crazy support is unmprercedented.

But I agree on people being able to find albums by searching, but you're off saying Ariana doesn't get playlist support. It's 10000% the opposite

Posted by: Lomadz 10th November 2020, 08:40 AM

Personally think they are faveourites to win the battle, was expecting Kylie to be further ahead at this stage.

What is going under the radar is 'sweet melody' going top 5, pop justice for sure!

we dont actually know how many cassettes are available. it maybe a limited run and lots of international sales too so the number towards UK chart may not be that many when it comes down to it.

Kylie streaming is tailing off which is worrying for her and LM still could do this.

900 gain is pretty big in one day.......

LM could still release more stuff.

Despite Little Mix closing the gap a fair bit, I still think this is too close to call, Kylie's new bundles will clearly sell quite a lot and give her a leg up - they're really affordable prices. But I keep forgetting that Friday will have two days of streaming added instead of the usual one, which will help Little Mix loads.

LM back at #1 on AM.

Posted by: iain 10th November 2020, 02:18 PM

The turquoise cassette (and therefore the bundle) are now sold out, the clear white and blue still on sale. I expect them to also sell out soon though. I’m really curious how many were made.

Posted by: JustCarolHoney 10th November 2020, 02:35 PM

Hi huns.

HMV are offering a signed poster with the Kylie HMV signed Vynle now as well.

Thanks huns

Just Queen Carol

Posted by: jsweetxe 10th November 2020, 02:36 PM

Postage for them is higher than Little Mix's lol. One of them has sold out, so the bundle isn't available anymore.

But I agree, it's really really too close to call at this point.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 10th November 2020, 02:46 PM

It’s a print though I don’t think it’s hand signed

Posted by: matttaylor92 10th November 2020, 02:49 PM

By adding a really high amount of the HMV vinyls to your basket, you can check to see how many are in stock still. She had 500 available 10 minutes ago. There's now 310 left! So 190 sold in 10 mins! Pretty good going!

Posted by: iain 10th November 2020, 02:50 PM

500 of the vinyl were available when they went on sale, down to 385 now...

Posted by: matttaylor92 10th November 2020, 02:54 PM

Only 210 left now! Almost 300 in 15 mins she has sold!!

Posted by: iain 10th November 2020, 02:54 PM

The Kylie store is down for maintenance...could they be adding new stuff?

Posted by: JustCarolHoney 10th November 2020, 02:56 PM

Thanks hun

I dont mind. I think little mix have done that before. Its a good idea. I bought two.

Thanks hun

Just Carol

Hi hun

I hope so!

Thanks hun.

Just Carol

Posted by: JustCarolHoney 10th November 2020, 02:58 PM

Thanks hun

So she had 500 available today or when it originally went on sale?

Thanks hun

Just Carol

Posted by: matttaylor92 10th November 2020, 03:03 PM

There was 500 available before the signed print was added about 20 mins ago. She then went down to 197 left but they added another 300 on sale. So she was then on 497 left and now she's back on 361.

So all in all in the last 20 mins, she has sold about 439 vinyls!

They have also added the print to the deluxe album that you can buy on HMV too

Posted by: DCL 10th November 2020, 03:03 PM

Little mix are doing listening party’s online today. Not sure how much they normally help

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 10th November 2020, 03:05 PM

Wait is it not hand signed?

I just caved and ordered seeing as LM have lost anyway but I don’t want a print?!

It’s displayed as
‘Signed Print’ so I assumed it was a print that was signed?

So misleading

Posted by: AJ. 10th November 2020, 03:06 PM

'Print' refers to the object, like a small A5 poster. I've got quite a few of them, so I believe they're signed by hand. Pretty sure they would specify if it was a printed signature like LM did

Posted by: JustCarolHoney 10th November 2020, 03:07 PM

Oh wow. Thanks for the info hun!

How exciting.

Thanks hun.

Just Queen Carol

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 10th November 2020, 03:07 PM

That’s what I assumed that’s ok then I thought someone said that it was just a printed signature.

Anyway there you go everyone I’ve helped your beloved Kylie to get to #1 haha

Posted by: JustCarolHoney 10th November 2020, 03:09 PM

Oh here we go... you literally told me 20 mins ago it wasnt hand signed so why said oh wait is it not hand signed... you already thought this was the case 20 mins ago when you were telling me.

I dont care whatever it is, I love little posters. So I am beyond thrilled. I bought two vynles and 2 cassette bundles. So thats 10 sales from me today alone. Plus the hundreds extra of other cassettes and vynles sold.

Thanks hun.

Just Queen Carol

Sorry it was me! I saw someone comment about it somewhere either Popjustice or Twitter.

So confusing being on different forums!

Posted by: matttaylor92 10th November 2020, 03:18 PM

HMV have tweeted and said it has been hand signed by Kylie

Posted by: JustCarolHoney 10th November 2020, 03:20 PM

Thanks hun.

Thanks for sharing hun.

Thanks hun.

Just Carol

Posted by: matttaylor92 10th November 2020, 03:25 PM

Vinyls all sold out! She has 220 deluxe albums with signed print left if anyone still wants one! There was 400 left when I checked before

Posted by: JustCarolHoney 10th November 2020, 03:27 PM

Omg did all the vynles sell out hun. How many were there to begin with? Kylies team are absolute pros. I might buy a deluxe album.

Thanks hun.

Another 150 on sale hun!

Thanks hun.

Just Queen Carol

Posted by: matttaylor92 10th November 2020, 03:29 PM

All in all she sold about 700 vinyls today I believe. They've just added another 250 now!

Posted by: JustCarolHoney 10th November 2020, 03:32 PM

Sold out again hun!

Thanks hun.

Just Carol

Posted by: matttaylor92 10th November 2020, 03:33 PM

Scrap that - those 250 are sold out now as well! Over 1000 vinyl sales in 45 mins!!

Kylie must have shifted THOUSANDS of physicals today. What a queen.

Cassettes and vynles. Thank god for the OAPs eh.

Thanks huns.

out of the market?

I dont know hun. There seems to be some steam left though.

Thanks hun.

Just Carol

Posted by: matttaylor92 10th November 2020, 03:36 PM

Hahaha if being 27 makes me an OAP then fair enough When I go to Kylie's shows, there's always plenty of young fans there!!

Posted by: JustCarolHoney 10th November 2020, 03:42 PM

Oh hun I know. I was just kidding because someone said I was an OAP earlier because I liked Kylie. They said all the Kylie fans are OAPs. Dont worry I know they are not.

Thanks hun.

Just Carol

Posted by: jlj 10th November 2020, 03:42 PM

Will those Kylie sales from just now count when dispatched or will they show from the update tomorrow?

Posted by: AJ. 10th November 2020, 03:44 PM

Right! I'm 22 and an avid fan, as are a lot of my friends. I wonder what her update will look like tomorrow, I'm thinking around 3K with the cassettes and HMV signed prints and possibly 5K if the 2K HMV signed CD's are included?

Posted by: matttaylor92 10th November 2020, 03:44 PM

Haha I know! Kylie fans definitely not OAPs. So many young fans! All my friends love her and they're all mid to late 20s. I love Little Mix too but I genuinely think Kylie has released the better album!

Anyway whatever happens, amazing sales for both acts and both have blown Ariana and Sam out of the water already!

Posted by: SmileyKylie 10th November 2020, 03:46 PM

So everything has sold out.....

What do they sell now?

Posted by: Rob 10th November 2020, 03:53 PM

Hi hun,

Thanks hun.

Love hun

Posted by: 365 10th November 2020, 03:56 PM

Oof, Kylie came hard. Her team are so savvy and prepared - they know exactly how to tackle album release week and I bet they'll have more tricks up their sleeves over the next two days, too. I wish they could think as smartly and release her singles on Fridays so they managed a cute top 40 peak.

Posted by: jlj 10th November 2020, 03:56 PM

Kylie should do a decrease on iTunes on Thursday. Reduce both version of the album to try and boost download sales at the last minute.

Praying she comes through and gets this one her album is so good. I love Little Mix too but as a whole album Confetti is their weakest album besides their debut I’d feel gutted if this went to #1 when Get Weird, Salute and LM5 missed out although they do also deserve it with their work ethic and sales to date as well.

Whatever happens it’s great to see female pop music selling in large amounts under these circumstances.

Posted by: matttaylor92 10th November 2020, 04:03 PM

Ahhhh so glad it's not just me who thinks this! Get Weird, Salute and LM5 sooo much better than Confetti. For me, aside from a few songs, Confetti is mainly filler. Sorry, I know that will annoy some people but that's my take on Confetti! Sweet Melody the stand out track so I'm glad to seeing it doing well this week in the singles chart! DISCO such a good album!

Posted by: ___∆___ 10th November 2020, 04:13 PM

All the cassette orders updated almost immediately to say ‘complete’ so they should count now, I’m sure BMG have an arrangement with HMV to get the photos and vinyl sent out ASAP too so hopefully they will all go out tomorrow.

Kylie came to slay rather than play

Posted by: Court 10th November 2020, 04:32 PM

I’m not sure they’ll all come through tomorrow, because even if the order is complete, they haven’t been dispatched. But I’m sure they wouldn’t have done it if they didn’t think most if not all of the copies would go out this week so I think she’s definitely done enough today to secure the #1.

Posted by: ___∆___ 10th November 2020, 04:49 PM

I don't think chalkys would have been sent many signed pics.....

I've never heard of them? Lol

Posted by: Gagamonster14 10th November 2020, 06:49 PM

Kylie deserves this one the most. If this was Golden and LM5 competing for #1 on the same week I’d be team Little Mix. But Kylie’s album is much better it’s a real feel good record. Little Mix’s album is ok but it’s not them at their best.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 10th November 2020, 08:22 PM

Kylie to be fair has delivered such a feel good album and its very solid, i think her fans are very happy with the results.

Posted by: vibe 10th November 2020, 08:26 PM

How many formats does Kylie have now ??

Posted by: shadow2009 10th November 2020, 09:15 PM

Little Mix fans raised £1350 to buy albums for those who couldn't afford one and Kylie fans are now reporting them. The meltdowns and drama on stan Twitter.

Thanks huns.

With Kylie exceeding 45k at this stage of the midweeks, 87 voters were wrong in predicting that she would sell less than that in her first week (including me, I voted 40-44.9k *_* ). 68 of you are still in with a chance of being correct!

Little Mix are on over 40k, which means 55 voters were wrong in predicting less than that for them.

What a huge sales week this is turning out to be!

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 11th November 2020, 11:28 AM

I just hope Little Mix do over 50k now, which is looking likely with missing data and orders from the store not shipped.

Kylie's sales are going to be crazy because I'm sure there's more to add tomorrow!

Posted by: Liam.k. 11th November 2020, 11:29 AM

I predicted 50k-55k for Kylie and 45k-50k for Little Mix.

Imagine if HMVs retail stores were open as well!

Digital: 5,476
Streaming: 1,894
Vinyl: 11,731

"They don't say tape sales, but if you add all the known sales above, it comes to 40,938 for Kylie, so the tapes must be around 5k sold."

Look at the Vinyl sales! And a load more today!

What are the top weekly vinyl sellers of the year?

Posted by: Liam.k. 11th November 2020, 12:39 PM

5. 7,957 - 27/08/2020 - Biffy Clyro - A Celebration of Endings

Posted by: SmileyKylie 11th November 2020, 12:40 PM

So she will enter at number 2 on that list lovely.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 11th November 2020, 12:41 PM

What have LM up their sleeve? Probably planning something? With their streaming added they may not be far behind?

Posted by: ___∆___ 11th November 2020, 12:42 PM

Virtual M&G if you buy the album from Amazon (or you can enter for free).

Posted by: aeroco 11th November 2020, 12:50 PM

That breakdown very useful - there' seems to be plenty of missing vinyl and CD sales....cassettes more like 4000? In which case yesterday's cassette sales have ben included.

I chose over 55k for Kylie, LM 45-50 I think?

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 11th November 2020, 12:55 PM

Little Mix aren't doing anything now, looks like they've just reverted to the usual album promo...

Posted by: aeroco 11th November 2020, 01:16 PM

Thanks, do we have sales breakdowns for Monday and Tuesday available? There's so many pages I can't find them to compare but it would be useful to see and work out which sales haven't been reported fully.

I'm spending far too much time on this haha. It's addictive.

Posted by: Liam.k. 11th November 2020, 01:18 PM

We received these on Monday:

Vinyl - 10,894
Streaming - 1,150
CD + Streaming - 18,000
Digital - 4,644

Posted by: aeroco 11th November 2020, 01:54 PM

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 11th November 2020, 03:34 PM

I wonder can kylie make 3k on streams, if she does thats a good result for her as streaming and kylie dont work all that well in general.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 11th November 2020, 04:08 PM

This is not over at all. LM on the Amazon charge and Streaming advantage.

I hope Kylie has something left to sell......

Just release Magic also on CD right now with Disco B side Slow/Love To Love Me Baby and sell 5k tonight and nab a singles spot

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 11th November 2020, 07:29 PM

Im hoping kylie has done enough, but its not over yet, either way whoever ends at number 2 will have the highest number 2 of the year.

Posted by: markivj 11th November 2020, 07:40 PM

Interesting... I find it hard to believe. Perhaps they're just hoping on streaming now? I'm surprised, I'd have thought their label would have tricks up their sleeve too .

Posted by: markivj 11th November 2020, 07:41 PM

With most people WFH, hopefully her breakfast slot tomorrow prompts more streams and purchases as one last push. My Deluxe from Amazon UK isn't dispatched yet.

Little Mix doing t-shirt and cd Bundles

Posted by: SmileyKylie 11th November 2020, 08:40 PM

One more format release could seal it for either

Posted by: jvckkk 11th November 2020, 08:44 PM

Short of Little Mix making 7-8k sales out of nowhere tomorrow, this is Kylie’s to lose.

Posted by: ___∆___ 11th November 2020, 08:57 PM

They have done 2 insta lives, 2 streaming parties and added a new bundle over the past 2 days but cancelled their This Morning TV appearance and Gaydio radio interview.

They are doing stuff but have been let down by their record company in terms of products - a £43 signed vinyl bundle and £25 t-shirt and CD bundle is not going to entice their fanbase to buy extras in large numbers

Posted by: ben08 11th November 2020, 09:03 PM

For comparison,

Posted by: spiceboy 11th November 2020, 10:27 PM

I feel like that graph highlights how little relevance million sellers have now in that Can't get you out of my head has actually sold less than Shout out to my ex and having lived through both (and loving both songs) CGYOOMH certainly felt like the much bigger impacting hit, it was such a MONSTER hit at the time.

Posted by: Nick Jonas 11th November 2020, 10:33 PM

Agreed - SOTME is a great song, but it’s certainly not a classic.

Posted by: 365 11th November 2020, 10:41 PM

Shout out is most certainty a classic. It's far from my favourite little mix song - but that and black magic are modern classics with the general public.

Posted by: Tafty 11th November 2020, 11:12 PM

Agreed.

I feel like SOTME has had just as big an impact as CGYOMH. Unlike, for example, some of biggest hits (I just don't think people care or remember them as much as they do with SOTME or CGYOMH)

Posted by: iain 11th November 2020, 11:35 PM

I have no idea about the relative impact of Shout-out vs Head, but I do think it’s difficult to compare success of singles from the past 10 years to the years preceding based on sales alone. Currently 13 of the top 20 singles of all time in the U.K. are from the past 10 years, largely down to recurring streaming. Kylie’s Dancing has now outsold Slow due mainly to streaming - does that mean that Dancing has had a bigger impact than Slow?

Posted by: Slick 11th November 2020, 11:39 PM

For what it's worth (and as a fan of both artists) CHYOOMH is absolutely a classic iconic hit and SOTME, despite being one of Little Mix's signature songs, is nowhere near it in terms of impact. It's obviously too soon to comment on long-term longevity as SOTME is still relatively recent.

I agree that it's really difficult to compare hits from different eras though. The music industry has changed so much.

Posted by: Slick 11th November 2020, 11:44 PM

Also I missed voting in this but I would have probably said Kylie but with much lower sales than anticipated, with 'Say Something' and 'Sweet Melody' as my favourite tracks.

Posted by: 777666jason 12th November 2020, 08:31 AM

CGYOOMH probably is the bigger of the two but SOTME is probably the closest your gonna get to a modern day classic equivalent

Posted by: Slick 12th November 2020, 08:50 AM

I respectfully disagree. CGYOOMH is one of the defining songs of the last 20 years. The song and video are iconic. SOTME was a big hit but it's not comparable. It remains to be seen whether any of Little Mix's songs will have the same lasting impact as CGYOOMH.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 12th November 2020, 08:53 AM

Anyway back to Disco!


What will happen today?

More formats? More signed stuff? What will the todays totals be , set to be announced after 10am......

Will it be RCA v BMG for last minute crazy promo etc? Or will it be quiet ....

Posted by: miichaelking21 12th November 2020, 08:54 AM

maybe it’s just a difference in demographics.

I think whilst CGYOOMH is the bigger of the two songs, SOTME is not that far behind really.

Everybody I know, knows SOTME. If it’s played on a night out it pops OFF and I think either that or Black Magic have become really defining hits for them in the UK.

Posted by: Tafty 12th November 2020, 09:11 AM

Hi huns

What is your fave LM and Kylie album? My fave Kylie album is either Fever, Aphrodite or Disco.

My fave LM album is LM5. I love Woman like me. I heard the album was a flop though, is that true? I love it and remember hearing their only single from that album on the x factor. Maybe I am wrong? Anyway, I am glad this albums doing well!

Thanks huns

Wow interesting to see that LM actually did better on downloads than Kylie then yesterday.

Crazy to think that if her team hadn’t gone in on the signed booklets, prints etc she wouldn’t of stood any chance of getting the #1, annoying really when if LM had pushed they would of absolutely smashed it instead we had a £40 and a £43 bundle and a t shirt bundle.

Amazing streams for LM though looks like it’ll do so much better than LM5’s first week streaming.

Posted by: Jay* 13th November 2020, 12:19 AM

Little Mix did have a few rounds of signed CDs + signed vinyl & signed polaroids though! I wonder if Little Mix hadn’t have done many signed items, whether Kylie’s team wouldn’t have requested Kylie to do so much signing? All in all I would say it’s been a pretty level playing field in terms of tactics and overall formats available. It was definitely a good battle from both sides!

It’s funny to look back at the charts/sales from years ago. Kylie’s 2003 album Body Language sold 68,000 to enter at #6... and that was with just one CD available! It was also regarded as being an underperformance. Times have certainly changed!

Posted by: slowdown73 13th November 2020, 12:35 AM

Totally disagree. CGYOOMH is in a completely different league to SOTME. It was a massive worldwide hit and was such an iconic song in the past 20 years. There is no comparison at all.

Posted by: sammy01 13th November 2020, 12:40 AM

CGYOOMH was so much bigger than SOTME. The whole Glory Days era from Little Mix benefits massively from those couple of years where the streaming ratio for sales was laughable and any and every song was platinum or a million 'seller'.

If cant get you out if my head was released in the streaming era it would have been colossal, il always remember been so shocked that it sold over 300k on its first week which really only happened to winners of huge reality music tv shows such as x factor at the time or big charity singles.

Although my feeling that it would be Kylie proved to be right, I was quite far off getting the sales right! Under-estimating Kylie by almost 11k, and under-estimating Little Mix by almost 7k.

What about you guys? Were any of you close with your predictions?

Posted by: 777666jason 13th November 2020, 11:22 PM

You disagree , yet your argument then agrees, I said exactly that CGYOOMH was the biggest of the 2 but SOTME is the closest you gonna get to modern day equivalent:

Posted by: Liam.k. 13th November 2020, 11:37 PM

I think I got it right, I’m sure I predicted just over 50k and just under 50k for both artists.

Posted by: Bré 14th November 2020, 01:34 AM

I forgot to post my answers in here at the time but I said it'd be Kylie with 40-45k to Little Mix's 35-40k, so both were higher than I expected.

I voted 'Break Up Song' as my fave from the Little Mix album but that was before I heard 'Confetti' which I would now switch my answer to - slightly offended that has fewer votes than bloody 'Not A Pop Song'. Meanwhile I'm remaining in my hot take corner thinking 'Sweet Melody' is (pretty comfortably) the 2nd worst of the songs on that list. At least the right song won the Kylie section

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 14th November 2020, 01:49 AM

'Holiday' having more votes than 'Happiness' is a bit errrrr.

Posted by: spiceboy 14th November 2020, 12:38 PM

I didn't vote in this one but in the last one I voted that Kylie would be #1.

Posted by: Bjork 14th November 2020, 01:11 PM

Kylie actually did what I expected, I knew she would release 125 different vinyls and cassettes and people would buy them all, been saying that for months

when L Mix released Holiday, I thought they were in trouble. The song is awful and the initial reaction was bad, of course the label sent a lot of cash to Spotify and the single campaign got saved, but at that point I thought the album was gonna underperform. Of course then Sweet Melody happened and the campaign got back in track. So then I thought they were gonna do better but still not so close to 50K... only when someone wrote the pre-orders and they were super high I figured out it could be close with Kylie but never thought she could do close to 50K.

Avid lifelong collector here - I must have missed 112 formats then? She released 13 and LM released 13.

Posted by: sammy01 14th November 2020, 01:16 PM

You say 13 like it isn't a ridiculous amount.

Posted by: ___∆___ 14th November 2020, 01:18 PM

Not at all but there seems to be a notion that Kylie released 100 and LM released 2.

Everyone is at it and both Kylie and LM were no different, the upcoming Yungblud album has 20 versions so far

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 14th November 2020, 01:24 PM

Calm down, we all get you’re a Kylie fan but the poster above only made a valid point that Kylie’s team would release multiple versions and a large amount of her fans would buy them all (Surely that shows as LM has way more streams because of the younger fanbase who don’t use CD’s / Vinyl etc...)

No one said she had any more than Little Mix, simply that her fans are more into physical formats so would buy them all.

Draining to read now, people are allowed an opinion!

Let’s not forget a big proportion of ones sold also went to the EBay sellers who are marking all the versions up by over 100%...

She got to #1 she’s had a #1 album in different decades it’s amazing, But surely the point of these forums is to discuss both positively and negatively about music.

Being told to calm down by the one who posted ‘it’s fine my tantrum is over’ during the midweeks lol:

Stay pressed

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 14th November 2020, 01:35 PM

I’m not pressed at all, I was over it ages ago hence why I bought myself multiple copies of Kylie’s album.

Boring that everytime I check the topics you and one other can’t drop it.

Posted by: shindymindy 14th November 2020, 02:49 PM

Oh come on guys - not again!

Posted by: Bré 14th November 2020, 03:30 PM

Imagine wanting 20 formats of a YUNGBLUD album

Imagine wanting 1 format of a YUNGBLUD album

Posted by: ___∆___ 14th November 2020, 03:36 PM

Equally boring that -

Everytime I respond to someone you respond to me
Your constant tantrums and then you blame it on ‘I just say what I think’ but god forbid anyone else does the same

Go back to the mids, the chart battle was actually quite fun until you had a meltdown over LM

Glad you’ve bought multiple copies, enjoy Disco like the rest of the country have and ignore my posts
