The Weeknd's album looks like it'll top out at roughly 32k sales, which is less than Beauty Behind the Madness debuted with. The messy rollout isn't helping (only 19% of his sales are physical), but I think everyone overestimated the hype of the album unfortunately. I suspect it will repeak at a later date and have great longevity though.

 

I don't know if it was posted, but Kate Bush's album was only the 13th largest selling album yesterday. Interesting.

There will be yesterday's streaming missing but streaming barely effects the album chart (despite his massive streams), so yes, he is bombing this hard :P

He is NOT bombing :drama:

The interest in the album is clearly there for the entire album to be in the singles top 100; the problem in the end is he has picked the wrong time of the year to release. I'm disappointed but not worried.

No, she's fallen out, she'd be in the update if she was still top 40 :kink:

 

:( still rising on iTunes thanks to the discount. It probably won't be enough for #40, but I'm still hoping it manages to squeeze in!

Nice to see Little Mix extended their lead over Ball & Boe, I seen on the Little Mix forum too if they get a second week at #1 it will be first time in 15 years a girl band as stayed #1 more than 1 week which is crazy always thought Girls Aloud was last girl band to do it.

You'd think their Greatest Hits would have done given it's 4x platinum / million seller but it was only #1 for one week!

I know, I always thought they managed more than 1 week at #1 with an album to be honest, Be another achievement passed for Little Mix to manager 2 weeks at #1.

Any news on Kylie in albums this week?

Really hoping After the Afterparty can just about make it into the Top 40 this week.

LM wouldn't have a #1 album to their name if the compilation chart never existed. And The Weeknd missing the top 5 when he's been #1 on iTunes artist albums

But it does exist so they do have a #1 album to their name.

iTunes has a minimal impact on the album chart at this time of year which explains this!

What the hell does that have to do with anything? compilation chart would of stopped ALOT of artists getting number one over the years however there is such thing as an compilation chart so that post was quite pointless :huh:

 

I don't know if your a serious poster on here or a troll because your posts always scream wanting abit of attention :unsure:

Shame it got created because no other country has a compilation chart. The American NOWs for example chart in the Billboard 200

Yeah and no one buys compilations there.

If Adele released '25' a year later, then Little Mix wouldn't have had a No. 1 album.

Compilations are rather outdated everywhere else in the world and died / are dying - don't block major releases. For some reason the Uk clutches onto them. 100s of rightful albums would have been denied because of a compilations of chart hits whacked onto a collection.
