August 17, 20168 yr ^^ Really hope the Dolly album does well but I'm not convinced - It's a trio album with Emmylou Harris and Linda Rondstat and features out takes, remastered songs etc. Also the download/stream have been pushed back to September 9th - Not sure if the physical is out this Friday?

August 17, 20168 yr Author Dolly's new album is out on Friday. Can see it going Top 5 easily. No.1 maybe? Yes, suspect she will be in the running, wonder whether an Olympic Closing Ceremony Performer will be in the frame as well or Andre Rieu who even has an Olympic themed Album out (sorry to continue to milk the theme but it is the Olympic thread)

No, the trio album is later in the year. The one out on Friday is a new Dolly solo album with an extra disc with Glastonbury performances.
August 17, 20168 yr I presume the Trio reissue was postponed to avoid overshadowing Dolly's new material.
August 19, 20168 yr Author Frank Ocean is apparently releasing "Boys Don't Cry" this weekend in which case Dolly may be denied. After that the Release Schedule is picking up (it was mentioned earlier in the thread that Britney was coming for that number 1 at the end of the month, suspect Barbra will outsell her that week though). This thread will be over this afternoon :)
August 19, 20168 yr Surely Britney is guaranteed her highest peaking album since Circus in two weeks times? :o
August 19, 20168 yr Author Surely Britney is guaranteed her highest peaking album since Circus in two weeks times? :o Maybe but her quest for a UK number 1 Album will continue.
August 19, 20168 yr Maybe but her quest for a UK number 1 Album will continue. I doubt she's that bothered! :D
August 19, 20168 yr Author I doubt she's that bothered! :D Probably not but it is surprising she has not achieved a number 1 given the number of Albums she has released over the years. Edited August 19, 20168 yr by timjimlee
August 19, 20168 yr :dance: Probably not but it is surprising she has not achieved a number 1 given the number of Albums she has released over the years. It is annoying in her case since she remained #1 on the midweek album charts for both Oops I Did It Again & her first Greatest Hits until Whitney & Eminem both passed her on Saturday (back when the charts went from Sunday to Saturday).

August 20, 20168 yr Biebers team coming for the #1 album - Banner on iTunes advertising the album for £5.99, the fact sales are so appalling and he still has strong streams for the album he could do it?!
August 20, 20168 yr Kygo is performing at the Olympics closing ceremony, could that give the album a boost?

I guess there will be some additional promotion this week in advance of the appearance at the V Festival but I think in terms of getting to the Top the price reduction has come a week too late - a definite missed opportunity to get that number 1 peak.
August 20, 20168 yr Author Kygo is performing at the Olympics closing ceremony, could that give the album a boost? Yes, should do although given the timing of the Closing Ceremony (ie early hours of Monday morning) it may not be the biggest audience to give it a huge boost.
August 20, 20168 yr Probably not but it is surprising she has not achieved a number 1 given the number of Albums she has released over the years. Mind you, The Fall have released a lot more albums than her and they've never had a Number One either.
February 22, 20205 yr Author Given the low Album Sales this week I thought I would give this thread a bump as it is a safe assumption that someone will be competing with Blossoms for the unenviable title of lowest weekly sales for #1 Album. After all it happens every four years. Ironic looking at this thread again that Bieber’s last Album was reduced to £5.99 four years ago in an (unsuccessful) attempt to get to #1.
February 22, 20205 yr Nothing in the diary yet as far as I can see for August, but Lana loves a good summer release (last albums being released in June, September, July and August) and is due her new album out this year which naturally would be way way over. But it's a dodgy time indeed. Maybe given the rumours that Adele will be releasing in September will encourage more artists to release beforehand?
