QUOTE(LJ JORD 7 @ Aug 26 2020, 02:24 PM)  Ten is at #199 on the iTunes albums chart in UK. I think it’ll see quite a boost with recent news  It's so bittersweet to see this.. Ofcourse it's always good to see the girls getting some extra sales, but we all know why it's there now

Some very old figures for the albums - probably not too interesting for most of you!
30th December 2007: 786,738 - The Sound of Girls Aloud: The Greatest Hits 584,489 - What Will the Neighbours Say? 370,638 - Chemistry 354,475 - Sound of the Underground 244,510 - Tangled Up |

Someone on Popjustice shared that Ten has sold 282,000 (170,000 physicals, 83,000 streaming, 29,000 downloads).
Great to see it closing in on 300k, which is how much it needs to sell to certify Platinum! Our last figure for it was 236,000 in August 2019. That’s a 46,000 sales increase in 90 weeks - about 511 sales a week. If it continues at that rate, 300k+ could happen in about 36 weeks from now (January 2022!). 511 sales a week... roughly speaking, that’s about 60% of the sales usually required to make the Top 200. So they’d have to double their streaming audience to safely get that album back into the charts. I’m keen for it to go Platinum because it would mean all their studio albums and Greatest Hits would be Platinum or Multi-Platinum! |

Fingers crossed it goes platinum asap! Will we get an alert when it does, they get automatic certifications now don't they? Wish Forever would stream as well as Ten it would be past platinum by now if so!

QUOTE Girls Aloud's second greatest hits collection TEN from 2012 returns to the Official Albums Chart at Number 61, the album's first Top 100 appearance since March 2013. Ten's chart sales increased 320% week-on-week. This should be very close to platinum now, right? |

Great to see it closing in on 300k, which is how much it needs to sell to certify Platinum! So its total sales as of yesterday are 282,110.  So the Popjustice poster who stated 282,000 back in April was mistaken (you can see the post here ). I'm assuming it was a typo, as I go on to explain lower down this post. Anyway that's a bit disappointing, because like Chemistry, I was hopeful it would be getting closer to Platinum.It sold 1,586 last week, re-entering at #61 in the official albums chart. That's made up of 1,240 streaming, 271 downloads and 75 CDs. Ten's appearances in other charts: #13 - Downloads (re-entry - 8th week in the Top 100, its peak is #11) #59 - Sales (new entry) #72 - Streaming (new entry) Back to the sales... working backwards: its total on 3rd September was 280,524. As already mentioned, its sales increased by 320% compared to the previous week. That means that it sold 378 sales a week earlier, which was a full week under normal circumstances. Its total on 27th August was 280,146. Regarding the seemingly duff info of 282,000 from back in April (it would have been a total for 23rd April) - let's just assume it sold 378 copies a week since then (obviously it wouldn't have done, it'll vary!)... it would mean that its total back on 23rd April would have been 273,342. This does make me wonder if that poster actually meant to write 272,000 back then, rather than 282,000? In 2019 we had two totals: 226,528 - 15th March 2019 236,052 - 2nd August 2019 ^ Which works out as a stronger average weekly sale of 476.2 per week. If we just accept that it had sold ~272,000 on 23rd April 2021, then the average weekly sales between 2nd August 2019 and 23rd April 2021 = 399.4, which isn't far off the 378 figure from last week. If Ten settles back to managing around 378 units a week... then it is on course to reach Platinum in August 2022. It could achieve that certification earlier, if its streaming sales remains stronger than usual over the next few weeks. |

1,233,745 was our last total for it in August 2019, it's now on 1,259,383! Amazingly there's still some CDs out there (it sold 33), obviously 0 downloads, and interestingly got 820 streaming sales. Not sure how that works out when most songs are on Ten and I doubt Life Got Cold, Long Hot Summer, See the Day and I Think We're Alone Now are THAT popular somehow!

Also really surprised by that, I mean I didn’t even think to look for that album when I looked at the Top 200! 🤭😅 It’s very nice to have an updated total for that too, though I have absolutely no idea what OCC’s methodology is when it comes to coming up with a streaming figure for both Ten and TSOGA. Particularly as TSOGA is digitally unavailable (actually shocked that there were that many CDs of it left to buy that aren’t second hand
 )This could explain why Ten’s average weekly varies quite a lot over time and also why it’s taking quite a while to make its way to Platinum

The Sound of Girls Aloud's 853 sales this week was a 274% increase on the previous week - which means it sold 228 copies the week before!
That's roughly 60% of what Ten's 378 sales from that week. This week, The Sound of Girls Aloud sold 53% of what Ten managed.I really wish we could know how OCC's database applies Girls Aloud's streaming to these two albums. It's great that TOSGA gets to keep increasing its already impressive figure, but I wonder if it's effectively "stealing" some streaming sales away from Ten? TSOGA sales totals from the past 3 weeks: 27/08/21 - 1,258,302 03/09/21 - 1,258,530 10/09/21 - 1,259,383 Between 2nd August 2019 (when its total was 1,233,745) and 27th August 2021, it sold 227.3 a week on average, remarkably close to its weekly sales figure of 228 from the week before this one. If it continues to sell around 228 every week from now on, it would be on course to reach a sales total of over 1.3m by February 2025. As far as I'm aware, The Sound of Girls Aloud is the best selling girl group greatest hits album in UK chart history, and is the 5th best selling girl group album of the past 25 years (behind Spice, Spiceworld, All Saints and PCD). |

Its a great pity that TSOGAs continued sales growth is spoiled by its unavailability and another greatest hits being out thus pretty much replacing it.

It's likely at some point a different version of a greatest hits will be made available as at that point Ten will be platinum

And so much of the good material that was part of TSOGA's package is no longer available and as a result disappeared into the ether.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a song can contribute to only one compilation's streaming totals, so how come both TSOGA & Ten benefit greatly from streaming if their tracklists are practically the same?

You are wrong, if a track is on multiple albums it counts towards all it's on unless it's one of the top 2 streamed on the album or not within the top 12. EDIT: Oh wait you said "compilation's"... I'm actually not sure on that one. This post has been edited by Dangerous Julian: 21st September 2021, 10:19 AM |
