I'd imagine she'd be closer to 100k (if not over) by the year end? Her sales will only improve from this week onwards as we get closer to Christmas.

I am thinking she could clear 120k with a fair wind behind her....

Go Kylie, looks it a good week for her.

Ok I know this wont be popular but celebrating Kylie maybe selling 100k total makes me cringe a bit. I mean this is basically an album made to sell, there is no thought behind it bar Kylie + Xmas songs + some duets at gift buying season = sales. Yet it is hardly selling like Michael Buble is it. I mean it is a tried and tested formula to shift big numbers of records and the fact that 100k seems to be seen as great just shows where Kylie is right now.

 

Also as we have seen with Leona, flogging some xmas classics or an xmas album doesn't really mean very much when it comes to trying to actually convince people to invest in new material after it.

It's pretty decent for a Christmas album in the UK. The Michael Bublé comparison looks damning until you realise that comparing anyone to Michael makes their sales look horrendous.

 

It's not a huge hit but nobody is foolish enough to be operating under the assumption that Kylie is a huge star in 2015. Adding another Gold certification to her record is impressive at this stage of her career.

Most albums are made to sell though, otherwise they'd be given away for free.

Michael Buble is a bigger name than Kylie and was coming off a massive era in terms of sales and the added exposure the album got helped it in years to follow.

Kylie had a poor selling album last year and is not as big as she was, someone like her who has been in the business for 30 odd years selling 100K of an album is something to be celebrated as not many others could manage it.

I think personally I'd rather see someone like Kylie try to make a great album of original songs and if it sells 50k so be it, she has her career and a cash in gold selling album that people will only listen to 1 month a year really doesn't add anything to her career for me. I guess each to their own I'd just think at Kylie's stage of her career putting out an album she is proud of and has songs she can use to tour in the future would be much better than flogging xmas songs.

Great news for Kylie and looks like this release will and deservingly outsell the dreadful Kiss me once album.

Coldplay have no chance of Number 1. Adele's already narrowed the gap to 2k.

She's already got 12 albums like that, at this point in her career why shouldn't she make an album of X-mas songs? It's a solid album that people can go back to year after year and enjoy. I think it's safe to say she's proud of this album either way.

Off the top of their head, does anyone know when the last time a number 2 album sold 200k+ was?

Coldplay are just slightly ahead of Adele, 159,341 copies to Adele's 157,793. I think Adele will still be number 1 on Friday though.

Nice to see Stages re-enter <3 and a fab climb for Sleighlie.

Well in 3 days Coldplay's lead has gone from 56k, to 35k, to 1.5k, so at this stage on Monday, 25 is probably well in the lead again.

"One More Sleep" at #99! :cheer: Should keep climbing as the week goes on. ^_^

Hopefully Sigaslay is on lock for a #2 debut this week :D

bittersweet success for sigala :wub:, it's amazing to see him getting another top5 smash :yahoo:, but 'sweet lovin'' deserves to be a #1 :snif:

 

pleasing upwards progress for sigma :heart:, 99 souls :wub: + robin schulz :heart: this week :cheer:

 

frustrating that martin solveig :dance: and kygo :wub: are going to fall short of the top40 :( ~ it will be criminal if '+1' doesn't smash :snif:

 

album wise ~ relieved that adele is making short work of coldplay's fortuitous lead :D

 

hoping 'life' can hold up reasonably well for sigma ~ #19 is a solid, if not spectacular, start~ :)

 

LOL @ the vamps crashing 10-41- :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

If Adele isn't performing on X Factor final, Coldplay could just about beat her

There is plenty of original material on the album..... have you listened to it? Some of the new tracks are the best.....

 

When the likes of the Guardian slate it she is now using her fan base and likeability factor to gain sales.

 

You don't think Adele and Coldplay have released at Xmas for the fun of it ? They are going for Maximum sales too...

 

She is working on a new album etc. She is having fun this Xmas...... she is remixing with Stock Aitken & Waterman which is brilliant.

 

Really hope she gets noticed for this effort, though I would have loved it to go top 10 but very doubtful now.

 

I would just love for her somehow to get her 50th top 40 single but looks doubtful also.
