Where's David Bowie album please?

Just realised that Bonobo is Top 5 on albums!! :w00t: Didn't even bother looking as his last album entered at #74 (Although did make the Top 40 two weeks later).

 

Another great album so early in 2017 - glad to see its a commercial success.

It be great if Sam Smith dropped a new track out of nowhere, perfect opportunity... that might just shift Ed Sheeran from the top. :lol:

#11 with Legacy

It would have to be week 3 or 4 at earliest but would he go Adele/sheeran or duffy

I can see Sam Smith doing an Emeli Sandé.

I think radio will give Sam Smith more of a chance than they did with Emeli, and there'll be more hype surrounding his comeback.

I can't see Sam's second era being as huge as his first but I don't think he's going to see an Emeli-sized decline.

 

After all he was a huge name globally, smashing in America, something Emeli/Duffy never achieved. They were just huge local stars for one era.

I defiantely think Sam Smith would already struggle to hit the highs he was at the end of his era. I doubt he'd manage a #1 debut even. It's funny because even when Ed wasn't doing anything it felt like he was still in demand, whereas with Sam I can already feel interest is waning.

Maybe that’ll be true of Jess Glynne next time too then?

 

I can’t see Sam Smith returning any time soon, from what I’ve seen he has a lot of really bad personal problems at the moment.

Butt didn't Hurts got good airplay? That cannot be an excuse for the lack of success

 

also curious what happens with George Ezra, if he can repeat the success of Budapest/Wanted on Voyage

 

think Sam Smith will struggle, after his Bond song, he re-released the album and did nothing, there were new tracks on the reissue and those did nothing, there was no interest at all

Ed Sheeran re-issued x and it didn't really make much of an impact with the new songs either, it's difficult when none of those tracks actually got pushed as a single, so I don't think re-issues can really be used to compare. Nevertheless, I agree that Sam could well struggle, really depends on how long he leaves it and how strong the comeback single is.

Sam Smith's re-release sold over 300,000 in its own merit so i would not call it a flop, likewise with Ed Sheeran except the figures are 100,000 higher to my understanding.

 

That said, i have always felt Sam Smith is one era smash only and will likely struggle with the second era similarly to Emeli Sande who i thought would be fly her second era with ease, so maybe im wrong about Sam. Jess Glynne is another i strongly feel will struggle in her second era.

Jess Glynne will not struggle if she comes back soon, I don't think. Any longer than Summer this year, I reckon she'll be done for, unless she retries the feature of someone's single (maybe Calvin this time?) and releases on the back of that formula? That could work for her. Sam at worst will "do an Emeli". No way will his success be as bad as Duffy's 2nd era. But yeah I can see him having a big enough era for people to think he's cared about enough (def not to the success of his debut era though).

Ed's re-release was more attractive because of the concert DVD, arguably. It was surprising that he didn't push any of the new tracks as a single (unless you count Lay It All On Me), but then none of them were particularly single worthy.

Isn't 7,008 sales currently for #6 album by Pete Tong? Bonobo's current sales are 7,562 according to Music Week. :P

Fixed.

I thought Bad & Boujee would have entered today if it was at #41 on yesterday's update

Looks like Shape of You is doing around 16k (ish) per day, could be looking at 128k (ish), or just under for the week, if you take 16k as the stepping stone, while Castle on the Hill is doing around 12k (ish) per day that's probably on target for 93k to 95k (ish) for the week. Hopefully I'm near the target on both :P
