8k for Glory? That's awful... :unsure:

What were you expecting? :P It's about what I thought she'd have at this point! Remember sales are very low right now and she has no radio support.

8k for Glory? That's awful... :unsure:

 

What were you expecting!? That's more than I would have expected. It's gonna sell more than some of the recent #1s!

you can't really complain when Britney Jean only peaked at #34 and sold just 12,959 copies in its first week (and in Q4 and when sales were generally better than they are now). I'd say 'Glory' is doing very well considering.
It's nearly September and there's still yet to be a female act who's had a #1 single as a lead artist this year! I think Little Mix could change that, but if not them, I don't know who. :unsure:

 

Honestly hadn't noticed, but when female artists like Rihanna and Sia have had some of the years biggest hits I don't suppose it matters.

I'm a little surprised with the Frank Ocean drop in numbers - I mean I know it's only available on iTunes, but the amount of press coverage this album has been getting is immense. I would expect it to be holding on a little better.
Worst single chart ever, a top 3 switcheroo, and the rest of the top 10 are practically all non movers with the exception of Calvin Harris and only 1 new entry within the top 75, and that belongs to Dua Lipa at 44

this is why I think the OCC should introduce Billboard-style recurrent rules. If we had them our top 100 would remain much fresher than the US Hot 100 but at the moment we have songs like Mr Brightside, Chandelier and Lean On hogging positions in the top 100 that could go to songs and artists that would otherwise not get the recognition of having a minor chart hit.

Indeed. I must admit I'd have preferred that 8k to have been for Monday's update, but it seems like the album is on track for just under the sales of Britney Jean which, like you say, is good considering the times of year the two albums have been released are at opposite ends of the spectrum for sales.

Sia is still there with Cheap thrills cos of streams not cos of proper sales, she's not top 40 on itunes any more...

 

I'd say rather than introducing the recurrent rule like in Billboard, it would be better to limit streams so that once you've reached 1 sale, your streams do not count anymore, so that thinks don't count forever

Speaking of Sia, is she STILL clinging on within the top 15? I'm amazed at the longevity of Cheap Thrills, honestly...

She's #18.

 

Has Cheat Codes dropped out of the Top 40? And where is David Brent albums-wise?

#47 for Cheat Codes and #24 for David Brent.

5 Rick Astley - 50 (4.5k)

 

A top 10 return is looking positive for this week :dance:

What's triggered this bounce?

Incorrect, it's only just dropped out of the top 20 on sales (now at #21). It has many multiple versions which are putting it higher combined. So it's not all down to streams.
