Friday midweek position is number 26 :(

The album is currently at #9 in Germany,#13 in Austria and #174 in Switzerland on their iTunes. A top ten album in any country would be fantastic. He's right to promote as only a handful can drop an album with no promotion and expect it to go top 10 internationally. Do we know any other countries Gary is going to promote?

That's great news! Gary has debuted at 176 in Belgium so hopefully that'll improve next week! But to get a top 10 in Germany would be amazing!

 

Number 5 on the German album iTunes chart and no. 12 on Austrian charts!

We knew the Brits would effect the album, but hopefully it'll still be selling 4/5k

Sales should be that, well i am hoping so. Hopefully the Brits effect wears off this week and Gary starts to climb, my slight worry is he dropped significantly early last week before the Brits were aired, but, on saying that all the nominees had promotion out been shortlisted which would not have helped Garys sales.

Disappointing position and now disappointing sales, Gary managed just under 3,500. I really expected higher album sales for Brits week.

So I think he is about 14,000 away from double platinum

 

Up to number 6 in the German iTunes chart. Hopefully physicals are good as well! A top 10 album in Germany would be fantastic!

A top 10 in Germany would be magnificent, I hope it happens now.

Number 30 in the midweeks, which could mean an official place of around number 28 on Sunday.

In all the media coverage about the single and on his website itself it says that the album has gone double platinum already.

 

Guess that means it's shipped that many, similar to how they certified in the past. Either way, great to see it called a double platinum album on his official website. He must already have the big 2x platinum disc

That would be shipping, but the sales are getting so close we know it will happen.

Only about 14k away!

 

On a slight separate note, looks like Gary is in LA right now:

 

Gary Barlow was locked away yesterday getting ready to perform some gleeful harmony in front of some of Hollywood’s biggest hitters at Saturday night’s premier Oscar party.

 

The singer-songwriter and Laura Michelle Kelly were rehearsing numbers he has written for the musical Finding Neverland.

 

The audience in the Montage hotel’s Marchesa ballroom listening to his efforts will include the evening’s hosts Bob and Harvey Weinstein, Judi Dench (if she makes it in time from India, where she has been filming), Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Steve Coogan and Leonardo DiCaprio.

 

I heard some of Barlow’s songs at a workshop last September and they were melodic and exciting.

number 27 this week.

number 27 this week.

 

Hoping that sales will bring it up to 590k

sales will probably be ariund 3,200, the 3rd single and tour will come just at the time to get the album climbing again.

With the Brits effect now more or less done with Gary might return to a more steady chart run.

Album debuts at #10 in Germany this week! His second top 10 album in Germany

 

UK wise; another 3.7/ 4k ish this week so must be only 10k from 600,000

Great news and great start in Germany, week 2 is the real test, if it remains steady it would be ideal.
