Do we know any of the sales totals for her last few albums, would 10,000 be a reasonable guess, as it now looks likely that will be the total amount this album will sell.

10k might be a stretch, unless she gets to perform any future singles on TV (she didn't do this for Anymore).

 

Version of Me sold 4,084 in its first week, but in week 2 it's sold under 900 copies. 25-146 is its chart run, which is her steepest decline within the Top 200 to date, unfortunately. As ever for Melanie, it'll be an uphill struggle to try and revive it.

Disappointing drop for the album after its initial success compared to her recent albums... Seems as though she will end up selling her usual amount. Really hope she manages to get a few more sales and has some promo in the future as it is a really good album.

There's only so many times you can express this crushing and sorrowful disappointment before realising these 90s starts aren't going to be the same powerhouse force they were in 2016.

90s 'starts' are not going to be the same powerhouse force they were in 2016?! :huh: If you're going to criticize my posts maybe check yours actually make sense.

Wow defensive much? He wasn't criticising your post. Also if the only response you can come up with is lol you spelt a word wrong, you've obviously got nothing to say about the actual point being made.

Room for love needs to be the second single

Ya i agree, Room for Love needs to be the next single, i know it wont do much but its the song i think she should push.

I listened to the album upon release week, it was alright in a "potential BJSC entries, which never come to fruition due to something better/stronger appearing" sort of way, but on the whole quite weak. :( 'Anymore' was by far the strongest song on there.

 

Gutted at 'The Sea' going 45-101-OUT. That album deserved more. :(

I'd say it's a grower, Jonjo!

 

Yas! :dance:

Wonderful to see them push ahead with another single.

My favourite song on the album, so I'm obviously very pleased with this choice! *.*

Rahaul, i must agree, her albums are always worth buying as they always have at least a few very good songs. That said, stages was her only album i can i dont like.

Dear life is a strong track .
