Why on earth? I can't see him getting #1 missing the two biggest sales days of the week...

It's ridiculous. I hope it's not a fix to get Little Mix a second week at the top of the album chart

Well that won't be why, but Michael and Little Mix will probably beat him.

Thanks to The Weeknd losing two days of sales, Little Mix will most likely spend a second week at the top unless Busted can throw a spanner in the works

Shed a Light is amazing and so refreshing after a year of mostly tropical.house and future bass in chart dance..hopefully it will do well enough on itunes and spotify this week to enter top 40 officially.

And who exactly do you think would be orchestrating that?

His label. They put the album to Sunday. I had my hopes up that he'd be releasing tonight so I went on iTunes to go and download it and it says it's out on Sunday.

Kiko Bun and Inna? :o

 

I don't think its the same Inna that did Hot and Sun Is Up

I'm sure The Weeknd's album was late being put up for pre order and, whenever I've checked the Amazon Music Chart, he's only been appearing low Top 100, so I feel like he was set to underperform anyway...

His label want him to flop and for another artist to succeed? :mellow: There must be some kind of reason behind it, it's a silly move in terms of chart positions but I guess he probably doesn't mind too much and it will be top 5 at the very least regardless. Honestly I wasn't convinced he'd beat Little Mix and Michael Ball this week anyway, particularly with Christmas shopping starting to build up at the weekends.

I think Weeknd will do huge streaming and digital sales - enough at most times of the year for a #1 but with physical season now fully in swing it didn't stand as much of a chance.

Screaming at this theory, I'm quite sure Weeknds label talked with Elizabeth and she kindly asked him to move to Sunday so Little Mix can beat him for 2(!)nd week at the top

And what benefit would that serve for his label?

What could the reason be why they are releasing on Sunday? BBTM was released on a Friday

I don't know, you'd have to ask them :lol:

Actually I think you're right, it's all one big giant conspiracy. Syco are in on it too.
