We'll see. I think it'll easily sell 350k min first week.

350,000 opening would be wonderful. I am not confident it will happen but will welcome it if it does.

It's been 4 years since a TT record and with a great lead single, a tour announcement soon, an XF performance and the Xmas market, i can't see it falling being too far away from Circus' sales.

It certainly will not be anywhere near The Circus' sales. :lol: That is a pipe dream if ever I heard one.

I think 250k would be a MAJOR achievement for them but my prediction is around 150-200k, more than happy to eat humble pie though if it's a lot more. (Will cry if it's less).

But I guess with the band being down to three, the tax evasion controversy, a four year gap between albums and no real buzz to speak of, it might 'only' clear 150-200k first week.

 

Now now Richie! Its Tax Avoidance - not Tax Evasion. Evasion is illegal, Avoidance is just morally bankrupt (so said David Cameron).

 

Anyway - I say 300K first week (I know TT fans - they buy one for themselves and a dozen copies for Christmas presents for their friends and family).

Oops! Freudian slip :lol:

The sales climate has changed since they last released so im finding it hard to call but i would be hugely disappointed if it sells anything less than 150,000 in its opening week. I would jump with joy if it did match the opening sales of the circus or progess but i cant see it happening. Overall i would be happy if the album can manage 1 million UK sales and for it to be added to their previous million sellers and more.

150k would be nice Imo! Anything close to 200k would be great

I love the video actually, good to see some humour.

just about to say i love that video loads, really made me love the song now too!

It's quite a funny video, has echoes of the 90s videos :lol:

 

Great to hear that These Days has been playlisted on Capital, Heart and A list on Radio 2

Shame it's doing so badly on pre-orders, I really hope there's an X Factor performance due or it may only scrape the top 20 :(

A few performance slots is needed soon.

I don't recall any TT songs doing well on preorders. An XF performance is guaranteed, Simon Cowell and producers know that TT will draw an audience to the show

These Days has really grown on me the last week or so, its stuck in my head now, very catchy chorus.

It's doing well in terms of radio play so that's great, with about a month to go before release - 5 in the UK AirPlay chart this week

May it keep climbing in pre-orders due to airplay.

It should only start improving its positions from here if radio support building.
