February 16, 20169 yr Who doesn't own ABBA Gold! Why is it still selling? There's 60 million people in the UK. It doesn't take a genius to understand that there are people who don't own any given album.
February 16, 20169 yr in a regular week, the 1975 should be #1 with their sophomore album... but they chose to release on the same week as the Brits, and that might cost them if Adele gets a big increase from her performance/wins Technically 1975 are releasing the chart week after the Brits but the boosts from Brits will definitely continue to that week
February 16, 20169 yr Who doesn't own ABBA Gold! Why is it still selling? There's 60 million people in the UK. It doesn't take a genius to understand that there are people who don't own any given album. Exactly!!!...I totally agree. Or Queens album..there are approx 53 million in the UK who don't own it. Plus everyone that could have owned it but has died since it was released. Record stats are only relevant in comparison with other records stats. And the % of people that regularly buy records is quite low...Artists like Adele reach outside this and get sales from people who don't normally buy ...... So she still has a great untapped market and it makes "who hasn't bought this yet" even more irrelevant.
February 16, 20169 yr Is there a chance that Kanye will get a number one when his album finally lands on itunes, which could be on Friday
February 16, 20169 yr Is there a chance that Kanye will get a number one when his album finally lands on itunes, which could be on Friday I heard it was only ever going to be available on Tidal, although who the f*** knows when it comes to Kanye?

Perhaps that should be a question on the next UK census - which Adele albums have you purchase? Are you dead or alive?
February 16, 20169 yr I heard it was only ever going to be available on Tidal, although who the f*** knows when it comes to Kanye? To quote Kanye from Twitter "My Album will never never never be on Apple".
February 16, 20169 yr This 'who doesn't already own this?' statement is always repeated and it is utterly ridiculous. New people and future buyers are born every day - first rule of capitalism.
February 16, 20169 yr To quote Kanye from Twitter "My Album will never never never be on Apple". First thing he's ever said that I like :lol:
February 16, 20169 yr I liked it when he said he needed money to support his family. Is he going into stand-up?
February 17, 20169 yr Viola Beach top 10 in today's update http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/v...tribute__13849/
February 17, 20169 yr Viola Beach top 10 in today's update http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/v...tribute__13849/ They'll secure top 20 but not top 10 as their streams are poor
February 17, 20169 yr Author I can see top 10 being a possibility, maybe just miss it but there's definitely a chance if they're already #9 and still #2 on iTunes.
February 17, 20169 yr don't understand why they're doing so bad on streaming, I thought they might continue climbing but just chuckled and today they're actually dropping 22 places and are around #150 :( but still #2 on itunes might count for something
February 17, 20169 yr If Taylor Swift can manage top 5 with 0 streams, then Viola Beach should manage top 10 with few streams Edited February 17, 20169 yr by Hadji
February 17, 20169 yr Think that they will likely fall to 11 on Friday - a dark red update on Kworb suggests the bulk of sales have already happened.
February 17, 20169 yr If Taylor Swift can manage top 5 with 0 streams, then Viola Blue should manage top 10 with few streams Well, you changed your tune quickly...
February 17, 20169 yr Author They'll secure top 20 but not top 10 as their streams are poor If Taylor Swift can manage top 5 with 0 streams, then Viola Blue should manage top 10 with few streams :wacko:
