Its sad but understandable that the sales have falling so sharply,what Wonderland has sold in just under 3 months is less than what The Circus and Progress sold on day 1 of release.

 

Pretty stark isn't it. However, I'm pretty sure that it would have sold about the same as III if it was released at xmas. Poor decision yet again by the management/label that meant they missed out on sales and the number 1 spot

 

 

The video for New Day out tomorrow!

Interesting video!

The video is different, i really think this wont even bother the top 100 which is disappointing as its not a bad song, it deserves to at least make the top 40.

I really like the video. Maybe it will help with the chart a bit, huh?

If nothing else it should help gain the album gain at least some sales. Wonderland has a midweek position of number 22, with some luck it will bounce back into the top 20 as i am sure the sales between numbers 15 and 22 are minimal.

True but that also means sales are usually close between numbers 22 and 30,I hope it climbs though.

A reissue with bonus tracks might help the album to reach platinum status. For an album which hasn't obtained a hit single and for a band still going after 20 years, they have done ok sales wise.

In overall terms and when you look at how artists of their era perform they are doing amazing. That said, the large decline in sales felt rapid, i would more understand a studio album selling 2 million, the next 1 million and the next 600,000. With Take That, it was a drop from 2.3 million with Progress to just under 600,000 for Three which was a very sharp decline. That trend has once again continued with a drop in sales between Three and Wonderland.

I think the 4 year break was too long to wait for III, that in my mind contributed to people losing interest (especially as it was seen by some as the end of the story)

 

Wonderland wise, if they released in December, I think we'd be looking at similar figures to III

Wonderland has suffered from not having a 4th quarter release date which keeps my hopes alive they will re-release in the 4th quarter to gain some sales.

Wonderland ends the week as a non mover at position 17.

Good thats its still top 20, should be around another 5 thousand sales. Hopefully the Manchester benefit concert performance may help them sell this week.

Sales are 189,000 now,so hopefully in the next 2-3 weeks it will get to the 200,000.

If it can remain in the top 20 region or possibly top 15 it could achieve 5,000 sales which will hopefully mean your prediction is correct.

First set of midweeks have just become available and Wonderland is number 20 which is reasonably ok.

I'd be happy if it can stay top 20 again this week.

Me too, last week it made a 7 place improvement on the first mid week placing. Hopefully it can hold its current position or climb even slightly as the week moves forward.

Wonderland achieves another week with a top 20 position this week (just about) at number 20.
