Chart Highlights

• This week's album sales were 4.6 million - up +5% on last week but down -17% compared with same week last year. YTD stands at 89.5 million - down -16% on same point last year.

 

Lily missed the top 10 in the end? :(

Lily missed the top 10 in the end? :(

Expect it to plummet next week.

 

 

A month on chart sounds about right.

Hopefully Lily won't do as bad as Timeflies (dropping out completely this week from #8 last week)!

 

Worth mentioning that 153K is the highest first-week total for a NOW album since NOW 31 in July 2009 (169K). Probably due to the fact it's the 50th, but also the tracklist is really good! :D

Iggy holding on great! Especially considering there are 8 new releases in the top 15. Hopefully it stabilizes and stays in the top twenty... or rises!
