January 5, 20178 yr Ooh I've only just spotted this thread! Looking forward to following it in full :D The xx's eponymous debut is easily my favourite so far :wub: 'Angels' from their second album is my favourite song by them, but I feel like the debut is stronger on the whole. Pleased to see it still just about in the top 100. 'Red' and the Les Mis soundtrack are my other highlights of the countdown thus far.

GOLD- GREATEST HITS- Abba (xx-xx-xx-98-96-89-80) 649,400 (T/S 5,504,600) 79. GHOST STORIES- Coldplay (77-77-79) 657,200 78. ONLY BY THE NIGHT- Kings Of Leon (31-44-50-60-66-78-78) 663,900 (T/S 2,924,000) 77. HEAVEN- Rebecca Ferguson (60-39-48-59-67-77) 671,400 76. GET WEIRD- Little Mix (NEW) 675,800 They don’t quite shift 100,000 copies in 206 but Abba’s “Gold” still has a very good year as it lifts 9 places in 12 months- its best showing. Coldplay’s worst performing album holds its place but still hasn’t sold as many copies since 2010 as Kings Of Leon’s 2008 blockbuster “Only By The Night” which is only about 2/3 years away from its 3 millionth sale on current evidence. Both KOL and Abba have never made the top 10 this decade making their achievements all the more noteworthy. Our second new album is Little Mix’s “Get Weird” which is currently their best seller and shows that they are still in the ascendancy it would appear. fhNUhIrPjpw
January 5, 20178 yr Still haven't listened to that Coldplay album.. is it any good? Nice to see Little Mix here
January 5, 20178 yr Still haven't listened to that Coldplay album.. is it any good? Nice to see Little Mix here Nothing special TBH. "Magic" is melancholy as ever and "A Sky Full of Stars" is an upbeat yet kind of pretentious dance song. The rest is kind of just filler.

NO MORE IDOLS- Chase & Status (43-44-49-58-64-75) 686,600 74. OUTTA THIS WORLD- JLS (18-28-37-47-56-63-74) 688,700 73. 4- Beyonce (48-45-56-61-69-73) 690,900 72. CAUSTIC LOVE- Paolo Nutini (75-68-72) 694,200 71. EVERY KINGDOM- Ben Howard (97-61-64-65-71) 711,000 Surprisingly “4” is the only Beyonce album to be on this list though “Beyonce” is not far off making it. JLS still linger on despite a mere 5,000 sales last year, both Ben Howard and Chase & Status have had difficulty replicated the sales of subsequent albums to the ones above. Paolo Nutini’s poorest seller clocks in at No 72 but then 700,000 can hardly be considered a flop in the album market of the 10’s. TyKzJM5DmbY
January 5, 20178 yr Fantastic to see Chase & Status so high, I forgot how huge it was - it a Brillant long player!
January 5, 20178 yr Yes to be honest. Though I doubt the OCC would ever admit such a thing. It's a pity, though I'm sure there was copies of music week and melody maker with sales that people have!
January 5, 20178 yr Doesn't look like that ABBA's Gold will sell 1m within this decade (would need to sell ~115k in each of the remaining 3 years) but 900k seems do-able. Maybe it could get an extra boost if there's plans to commemorate 10 years since Mamma Mia! The Film?
January 6, 20178 yr Ghost Stories is worst selling Coldplay album, but 650k is really huge success for most of artists of nowadays
January 6, 20178 yr Still haven't listened to that Coldplay album.. is it any good? There are a couple other highlights besides the singles (if you liked them), particularly Ink. It isn't really an album you listen to start to finish though, which for a 9 track album isn't great. Still worth checking out if you have enjoyed any of their other albums.
January 6, 20178 yr I only started with Viva....but Ghost Stories is my favourite Coldplay album. It's excellent - low key,but excellent.
January 6, 20178 yr My Ghost Stories Rank Always in My Head - 8.0/10 Magic - 8.5/10 Ink - 9/10 (One of Best Tracks of GS) True Love - 7.5/10 Midnight - 10/10 (One of Best Coldplay songs, Produced by Jon Hopkins) Another's Arms - 9.5/10 Oceans - 8/10 (Remind old Coldplay style) A Sky Full of Stars - 9/10 O (Fly On) - 9.5/10 Guys if you haven't listened to Ghost Stories yet, should listen. It's very different Coldplay album.
January 6, 20178 yr Not sure if you're gonna answer since it's outside of the top 100, but do you have Beyoncé's I Am... Sasha Fierce? Thanks!
January 6, 20178 yr Author Not sure if you're gonna answer since it's outside of the top 100, but do you have Beyoncé's I Am... Sasha Fierce? Thanks! 1612k in total :D

UNAPOLOGETIC- Rihanna (58-46-55-61-70) 716,900 69. GREATEST HITS- Foo Fighters (71-66-68-70-70-66-69) 720,300 (T/S 1,036,300) 68. FALL TO GRACE- Paloma Faith (62-58-63-62-68) 721,400 67. ULTIMATE COLLECTION- Whitney Houston (81-97-76-75-67) 722,100 (T/S 1,432,700) 66. TIME FLIES 1994-2009- Oasis (38-62-67-77-72-72-66) 723,400 Another couple of albums here that haven’t made the top 10, but both Foo Fighters and Whitney Houston continue to shift healthy numbers of their back catalogue even though they are both million sellers already. Rihanna’s first album of three appears though it certainly looks like “Anti” won’t be joining this list at any point- damn those free copies, we get the second Paloma Faith album and of course an Oasis GH set that sells consistently over the years.

IN AND OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS- GREATEST HITS 1990-2010- Robbie Williams (14-29-36-43-51-57-65) 727,800 64. SINCE I SAW YOU LAST- Gary Barlow (76-52-60-64) 728,200 63. SWINGS BOTH WAYS- Robbie Williams (52-50-58-63) 740,600 62. JAKE BUGG- Jake Bugg (57-53-59-62) 754,800 61. CHAOS AND THE CALM- James Bay (98-61) 756,900 A whopping 37 place climb for James Bay (the third biggest in the chart) shows what a good year he’s had but its former bandmates Gary Barlow and Robbie Williams that make up the bulk of this selection, the latter’s “Take The Crown” slips off the survey and won’t be replaced by “Heavy Entertainment Show” with any speed judging by performance so far. dz0isIOW0Vk
January 6, 20178 yr Gary slowly creeping up on the Robbie album that was released at same time its prob gonna pass before decade end
