Oh wow. This really DOES sound like 'If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time'! :mellow:

 

This is gonna be just as big as 'Over & Over Again'... UK radio are gonna lap it up, surely? I just CAN'T at the thought of this and James Arthur both being top 5 at the same time though... </3

It's so shit compared to his last two singles. :(

That was a glitch.

 

Available from 11th of November.

 

It was a glitch but it's stayed on 'My Music' on Apple Music streaming - it's actually a really solid album.

The album is off to a really strong start on iTunes - Deluxe version at #2 and standard at #49, he has several album signings this week and an XF performance. He could quite possibly end up with a Top 20 single and album next Friday :cheer:

So this album is amazing, top 3 of the year along with Lawson and Tom Chaplin for me.

 

Money >>>>>>>>

Huge XF boost so far - Famous (#5 up from #16), Album (Deluxe #10 up from #20, Standard #69 up from #158).

 

The album is so good and pleased to see him doing so well as it seemed it was all over after 'Give It Up' flopped and the fact it's been a year since 'Over & Over Again' was a hit.

I really enjoyed famous when he performed it, its good to see him doing well.

What kind of shouting contest was that, ugh! And his gesture on stage was over the top and annoying.

The song itself is dated and tuneless which is a shame since he's a nice boy.

I would disagree, it is a very sweet song.

So I listened to the album tonight, not really expecting much from it but I was very pleasantly surprised! He's maybe not the best vocalist ever but it's a solid album with some great songs on it. I'm looking forward to giving it repeated listens to see how much it grows but it's definitely off to an unexpectedly promising start with me :D

The album has grown on me with each listen - I think it's a really strong debut album. 'I Can't Be Mad' seems to be getting a lot of love so wouldn't be surprised if that's not the next single as his ballads are the ones that have done well so far.

Single climbing to #23 on the mids - would love it to snatch a week in the Top 20, also currently #89 on Spotify and climbing steadily. Pleased to see the album holding at #14 too.

^The album is midweek #11 as of yesterday! Deluxe also #11 on iTunes currently.

So close to top 10. iTunes standard has been dropped to £4.99. Definitely worth a buy if you haven't already.

 

Good to see Famous going for top 25 officially. Download chart #7.

Incredible result for him to be #28 on singles and #11 on albums.

 

I hope the album doesn't tank too much this week although I guess is inevitable as the promoted it so hard in week 1 with HMV signings, XF and price cuts.

Pleased to see the album holding up much better than I thought - Down from #11 to #24 in the mids.

 

'Famous' at #30 and getting hammered by streams as its been Top 10 on iTunes for a week.

He is doing better than expected, the album has had a decent peak position with reasonable sales. I had originally seen the album charting at somewhere like number 63.

Album improving in yesterday's position and is up 1 to #23 - looks like it's going to be stable for week 2 :yahoo: 'Famous' has dropped to #32 which is disappointing but I guess at one point it didn't even look as though it would go Top 75!

 

@Pippa - I was expecting a 44-Out kind of chart run for the album too!

 

 

'Famous' is underrated. I love to play guitar of this song on chords tv
