Ed a lot lower than expected again. I'm sure he'll rise back up to a reasonable position like he did last week, but I'm curious as to what platforms he's performing so poorly on in comparison to other albums (and other platforms). Hardly digital?

 

Sia is going to walk to #1, dear god. Those sales.

I'm glad that Sia is getting a number 1 album in the US (even though I don't like Chandelier). It's been a long time coming and she deserves it. Having said that, the idea that a top album this week is just over 50k (maybe 55k at best) is scarily bad. I'm sure sales will pick up around Q3 and Q4, but even with that, I don't think the figures will be inspiring. We might have one or two albums making high numbers while others will look tepid.

 

There has been discussions on other forums on whether or not the album certification threshold should be lowered. People are suggesting 300k for Gold and possibly 600k for Platinum. We'll have to wait and see, but the way things are going (and if numbers don't get better by end of year), it might be possible, unfortunately.
