November 30, 20186 yr If the album can hold steady positions for the month of December it will help build sales. Realistcially, it wont do better than achieving Gold and possibly Silver if it falls fast.
November 30, 20186 yr Agreed, she has one of the biggest albums of the year... And I’d consider 2002 and even FRIENDS some of the biggest hits of the year. People seem to forget how big 2002 was.
November 30, 20186 yr Agreed, she has one of the biggest albums of the year... the link I posted proves most people don't know her tho
November 30, 20186 yr the link I posted proves most people don't know her tho Yet they've bought her album and streamed her music. OK...
November 30, 20186 yr Not even 20k is definitely bad for a Q4 release by someone so well-known with 4 big singles
November 30, 20186 yr This is a sign of a flop but let’s see how it goes next week. The streaming is nice so I’d say she has some chances to stay in the top-20.
November 30, 20186 yr Author The thing is, I think Rita's album would've opened with very similar numbers whether it was Q4 or not. In fact, I'd argue a bit and say that a lot of her target audience are probably asking for it for Christmas, so sales (not just for Rita ofc - most pop acts) are gonna be staggered out a bit more than the OAP faves/artists that are heavily promoting in their release weeks. Disappointing position, but healthy sales. Would I have liked/expected 20k? Ofc. But I feel we just over estimated Q4 in general. The fact we're a few months into Q4 and have ONLY JUST got our first 100k+ seller in a single week is shocking.
December 1, 20186 yr Obviously starting at #11 is disappointing to see, but hopefully Phoenix will prove itself to be a steady seller and fingers crossed achieve a better position in the new year.
December 1, 20186 yr the link I posted proves most people don't know her tho Much as I hugely dislike her, that really is absolute bullshit.
December 3, 20186 yr Author Holding on tight to my copy of the album before her team demands they're all sent back for the real 2nd album that we're never gonna get 👀
December 4, 20186 yr I personally thought she'd do at least 30-35k for her opening week (as she feels bigger now than the time she released her first album), but I do think this will do fine in the longrun and that 'Only Want You' will be a sizeable hit to boost it.
December 4, 20186 yr Rita will be performing a medley of hits on the Graham Norton Show on New Year's Eve *_* Slay a bit
December 5, 20186 yr That will provide good exposure and if the Clean Bandit duet takes off and becomes a hit it will help draw attention to the album.
December 6, 20186 yr That will provide good exposure and if the Clean Bandit duet takes off and becomes a hit it will help draw attention to the album. I don't think "Nowhere" will be included in a medley of hits... We still don't know where 'Phoenix' charted in the US this week as Travis Scott cheated the chart and Billboard is punishing Rita for it :( I hope she can at least match Little Mix's debut after her plethora of promo

We still don't know where 'Phoenix' charted in the US this week as Travis Scott cheated the chart and Billboard is punishing Rita for it :( I hope she can at least match Little Mix's debut after her plethora of promo It is lower than Little Mix. I was told it was like 70-something but I forgot which exactly. The medley should be; Only Want You, Let You Love Me, For You and Anywhere I think. I’m guessing she can’t cram TOO much in without it feeling messy, so I’d try to steer too clear of too many older songs, even though Lonley Together and Your Song might help.
December 7, 20186 yr It is a relief to see it recover from Mondays position. After the Monday update i had feared it would leave the Top 40.
