I’m aware of all the theories but I still think there’s some number fudging going on. I don’t care if they are if it gets Kylie a #1 frankly lol but I’ll never believe any of these Amazon exclusives numbers are legitimate

I've already explained it all. Amazon have a bigger market share than other streaming services over Christmas primarily because of Alexa devices. Kylie's streams are also worth 100% whereas all other Christmas is 50% Amazon have put her high on every single Christmas playlist and it's on autoplay so when anyone says 'Alexa play Christmas songs' Kylie will play. It's not like the usual chart like above the Christmas charts are much different and more playlist heavy as people are home / at christmas parties, putting up their decorations etc and will just say 'Alexa play Christmas songs'

These very specific chart conditions (Amazon exclusive focus, a Christmas song on SCR when the peer competition is on ACR) are given to ONE song each year and this year it's this one. It's like a lottery win for two weeks from UK chart perspective. Last year it was Tom Grennan, this year Kylie, next year probably someone else.

well as explained she isn't on ACR like many others but also i would take the Amazon chart which a pinch of salt for reliability. Lets see what happens next.

Good to see the album climb to 2 on Itunes and 12 and 44 on Amazon current CD/Vinyl best sellers. Every sale counts

My prediction for XMAS next week is 29,000 sales and #5 #manifesting

She needs a break to be fair to her and we have the live cd of Tension coming next year to tide us over, id say she will be releaisng a new studio album in 2027.

Typo, still very odd to me lol but like I said I’m not complaining because it finally benefits someone I like.

Not sure what you mean by main chart but if its the official UK charts she is at number 24 and not number 14, she was 14 in Wednesdays midweeks.

For only being #17 on one platform, with absolutely zero sales/units from anywhere else, to get to #14 on the main chart is still baffling/fishy to me lol but I’ll take it!

Great to see it in the top 30! Top 15 next week would be great.

Its hard to call just yet what the sales will be like but im thinking the worst results is 20k and it it is 20k the number 1 could be touch and go as Olivia Dean is back to number 1 this week on 20,588 but all going well Kylie can do it and hopefully the album can hold up decent enough for the remainder of the christmas period.

18 now hopefully she gets a boost tomorrow and over the weekend. Alexa isn't being as kind I ask for Christmas songs and Kylie is usually 4/5th to be played :/

I think she will easily do 20k+ streaming, vinyls, cassettes, CD, downloads + promo and offers + store exclusives etc and Saturday/Xmas shoppers instores. Pity Tesco hasnt got it i think we may see a £4.99 store exclusive download or an extended mix 1 week only download?, but maybe keep that for week 2?

I'm confident she's going to be number 1 and the icing on the cake would be Christmas week goes crazy and she manages a Christmas number 1 too!

If it sells out then that’s a big chunk of sales….but she’d be guaranteed to sell out individual store exclusive signed vinyl and CD. The signed print is less attractive I think.

LGTI will have no chance if it’s just a vinyl…Kylie 88 did ok for a vinyl only repress in 2 colours but don’t recall it anywhere close to top ten….they already gave the PWL Albums a push in 2015 with the gorgeous Cherry Red reissues. I know it was very different market conditions but don’t think there’s anywhere near enough demand to go top ten. IP had 4 Vinyls and a whole load extra goodwill…but maybe with a cassette bundle they could do it plus the imagery is great from 1991/2. I doubt Kylie/ PWL cares though. Well Monday midweeks will be interesting….Amazon showing about 2500+ sales in the last month (assuming that includes everything, don’t think they’d miss out presales made over a month ago) and hopefully 1000 plus CD via HMV. Though they had loads of the ‘exclusive CD’ instore but ‘signed version’ is sold out online. So thinking about it maybe I’m getting way too carried away with 30k, 20k plus maybe more likely. (Edit Amazon Green CD now saying 2000 sales so that’s at least 3500 total)

To be fair the song was I think. 54 at beginning of chart week last Friday. It's 17 right now so it should be beating last week's total so far Also don't forget it should get some excellent youtube views of the video etc and also being sung on strictly and also capital jingle Bell ball shown that weekend too and live on youtube this weekend

I genuinely think its in with a great shout of number 1 and yes it will leave lets get to it as her only studio album not to have gone top 10 and id be all for something been done to help lets get to it follow all her other studio albums having a top 10 peak but its very very unlikely.

It's also almost time for her once a decade slightly more insightful than usual release (Impossible Princess - X - Golden)!

Wait is Kylie Christmas actually in the running for the top spot? It didn't even occur to me that it would be getting a major chart boost. If it reaches the top ten, it would leave Let's Get To It as Kylie's only album to miss the top ten. 35th anniversary vinyl push next year to get it into the top ten?

Really like this track from Jade and think Kylie would have worked great on it with her.

Ya i dont see anything huge coming from Sam Fenders deluxe but will likely be top 3.

Nice total to be able to add to the rest of the week.

No major surprise as amazon exclusives don't generally do well here and only chart towards the end of Christmas but kylie isn't top 100 here in Ireland this week.
