QUOTE(Bjork @ 14th May 2024, 08:34 AM)  I think it's an oversimplification saying that only UK artists care about the UK charts I still remember Camilla Cabello who is American screaming in delight when she was told on Radio 1 that she was the UK number 1. |

Sabrina now has £2.99 cds (plus £2.75 shipping) on her store shipping Thursday so looks like they’re keen to keep the #1 from posty this week. Cassettes and vinyls singles still shipping 7th of June though

Really thing were reaching the point where physicals shouldn't count towards the chart.

oh poor Post Malone, really thought he had a chance but if Sabrina has physicals
at least nowadays physicals are pretty expensive the thing that Lewis/Ed used to do with 99p signed CDs + free shipping, that was a joke and wrong and that's why they changed the rules but physicals should definitely count at least people spend $$$$ in music many streaming on Spotify use to free version |

Physicals should count but certain occasions seem like a cheating tactic more than anything else and this is one of them really. Been number 1 two weeks already, streaming good, was this really necessary? I don't think so. If it wasn't chart related and just was planned anyway fair enough but probably wasn't.

I personally would make the rule that labels have to release physicals on one specific week. This new trend (Perrie really is taking the biscuit) where they are dispatching them in batches to extend a chart run is just plain chart rigging.
You wouldn't let an artist hold back streams to be added into a different week or downloads, so why are they allowing this with physicals. All formats must have the same release date. |

I don’t think it really matters. By choosing the staggered approach, she’s sacrificed getting a higher first week peak. |

In general I quite like artists who care about the charts being able to use physicals to their advantage. I do disagree with the rule that CD sales only count on despatch being exploited, so the fans might purchase 10k over a period of a few weeks and they’re all dumped on the chart in the week when there’s a close #1 battle. Those sales don’t belong to that week in my view.

Imagine Taylor released her album sales from her store in batches or by format week after week, she could be number 1 on the album chart from months on months. Whether it is to extend a chart run or to boost certain weeks, essentially holding a load of physical sales and releasing them when/if it suits is chart rigging. |

I disagree physical realise should be encouraged not restricted as unlike streams it is real sales, if that means allowing last minute realises so be it.

I think in Perrie's case it's more releaasing them when they become available to them from production than holding them back
sure they would have preferred a top 3 with 7 weeks in the chart rather than a low top 10 with 20 weeks in the chart |

Whether it is to extend a chart run or to boost certain weeks, essentially holding a load of physical sales and releasing them when/if it suits is chart rigging. But there's always been some chart rigging to a degree such as releasing different versions of a song on download over different weeks (didn't Katy do this a lot in her TD era?) That said, it's pretty crappy for fans to have to wait weeks for a purchase they spent a lot of money for, just to add a few more weeks to its chart run. |
