November 20, 20169 yr Ugh I hope Metallica can take it, always a sad day to see manufactured groups topping the album charts (the single charts died a long time ago though so they're a lost cause). I guess the one ray of sunshine is that in thirty years time Little Mix won't be together and will be a historical footnote, rather than still selling out stadiums and pushing for No. 1 albums - with none of the promotion that their rivals get ;)
November 20, 20169 yr Author Metallica 10k behind Yesterday they were. More behind today.

I guess the one ray of sunshine is that in thirty years time Little Mix won't be together and will be a historical footnote, rather than still selling out stadiums and pushing for No. 1 albums - with none of the promotion that their rivals get ;) They won't. Also, :rolleyes:

LM are showing longevity, their 4th era is their biggest one. That's quite rare with groups in the UK, they are doing amazing. Besides, Metallica's album isn't good...at all.

November 20, 20169 yr Little Mix selling out stadiums in the future would be like Take That selling out stadiums now. Oh, hang on a minute....
November 20, 20169 yr Not forgetting Metallica are on the Radio 1 Rock Show tonight, I think both acts could do over 100k, so I wouldn't rule out Metallica just yet :P it could be real close in the end.
November 20, 20169 yr Author I really don't think Metallica have a chance. Little Mix extended their lead today.
November 20, 20169 yr whilst that is good exposure, I can't see it being a tipping point when Little Mix are already way ahead of them. Plus I imagine LM have many promo slots throughout the week. on another note, I told my brother who's a Metallica fan that they would be beaten to #1 by Little Mix, and he couldn't care less :lol:

Yay.
November 20, 20169 yr Those sales for Little Mix are impressive, they really could manage 100k at this rate, fingers crossed. Metallica also selling in very respectable numbers. Really hope Olly Murs Grow can climb into the top 20 this week, its really really growing on me and so much better than you dont know love.
November 20, 20169 yr Carpool Karaoke coming this week for Bruno Mars, the recent run of these seems to be Artists underperforming with their Sales (ie Britney, Gaga, Bruno), Madonna apparently lined-up for one soon...
November 20, 20169 yr Good sales for both the top 2 - Metallica doing really well considering they are more of a niche kind of sound and LM with their biggest first week sales set to be broken - I expect them to sell well right through until after the Brits! Hope they break 100k!
November 21, 20169 yr Author Some rounded album sales; Little Mix - 64k Metallica - 44k Bruno Mars - 34k
November 21, 20169 yr That's the #1 album sorted then! Little Mix surely on track for the second highest weekly sale of the year too. Even Bruno's sales aren't that bad - he's just ~2k below what Olly Murs had sold this time last week.
November 21, 20169 yr #1 album looks a dead cert now, love to know how many radio 1 listeners listened to Metallica last night though, they might have increased in sales but not by that much.
