June 12, 20178 yr Dont be fooled by the US figures Its all cos of the tour tix-album bundle Easily gives artists 100k sales They wouldnt normally have You can put this off as a marketing gimmick, however even with 100k fewer sales, Katy would get the #1 in the US. Also, that doesn't explain an overall divergence in the album chart. Look at the #1 BB200 albums working backwards from this coming week: Katy Perry, Halsey, Bryson Tiller, Linkin Park, Harry Styles, Logic, Kendrick Lamar(2x), The Chainsmokers, Drake (3x), Ed Sheeran (2x), Future, Future
June 12, 20178 yr Liam Payne & French Montana both at 14.6k, looks like we're in for a close race to #4 this week I think Liam will be #4... with French Montana at #3 as he has the streaming advantage. David Guetta looks likely to slip to at least #5, which is still a good showing but considering the track has Justin Bieber on it, it could've done better. As for ALMA remaining top 40... I wouldn't count on it. Expect the likes of 'Human', 'Places' and 'The Cure' to overtake it by the end of the week. And as we're getting the whole top 100 anyway later on here's a few ~highlights~ from the rest of the chart 43. Major Lazer feat. Travis Scott, Camila Cabello & Quavo - Know No Better 49. Olly Murs & Louisa Johnson - Unpredictable 51. Katy Perry feat. Nicki Minaj - Swish Swish 54. Katy Perry feat. Migos - Bon Appetit 63. Miley Cyrus - Inspired 86. Sigrid - Don't Kill My Vibe (re-entry) 89. Arcade Fire - Everything Now 90. London Grammar - Oh Woman Oh Man
June 12, 20178 yr 30k for London Grammar is a pretty strong opening, especially given that it didn't have two big top 40 singles to precede it like its predecessor.
June 12, 20178 yr Katy having her very own Christina Aguilera 'Bionic' era - the album is not half as bad as people are making out, not sure where 80% of her fan base seems to have evaporated to especially as she has already had 3 singles chart in the Top 40 from this album. Yes Bionic is what springs to my mind. :lol: Katy's never really been an album artist though. Her debut never cracked the top 10 (and I think a lot of its sales came in 2010 off the back of TD) and Teenage Dream took ages to get over a million despite a phenomenally successful singles campaign.
June 12, 20178 yr I think Liam will be #4... with French Montana at #3 as he has the streaming advantage. Yeah I was thinking the same thing. There's no stopping that French Montana track at the moment, could even climb to No. 2 next week!

Her debut never cracked the top 10 (and I think a lot of its sales came in 2010 off the back of TD) and Teenage Dream took ages to get over a million despite a phenomenally successful singles campaign. I obviously know this is a terrible result for Katy, but in her defense, she really isn't a fanbase act like 1D, Little Mix, Gaga or even Beyonce. She's the kind of act that the UK public react to hits/promo. If she'd released it off the back of Chained which was a big hit here or had come to the UK and done Graham Norton or BGT, I think she'd have been selling well. Her interest has evaporated a lot, no doubt but it really does feel slightly of a case of nobody knowing she's even released anything.
June 12, 20178 yr amazing sales for London Grammar :o wasn't certain they'd match If You Wait's opening, turns out they'll pass it easily
June 12, 20178 yr Great Sales for London Grammar, really not surprised given how well the preceding Album sold!
June 12, 20178 yr I think we are in for the Top 6 or Top 7 as non movers on Friday, David Guetta could be #7 or #8 by the end of the week He won't fall out of the top 6. Looks like Ariana will fall out by the end of the week - so the only newies released on Friday we'll have will assumably be David Guetta at around 3-6, and Sigala between 30 and 40. Sigala will stay in for sure, he's been added to Hot Hits UK relatively high so his streaming will get a lot better from tomorrow. Edited June 12, 20178 yr by mdh
June 12, 20178 yr wow ? how is Malibu only #13 ? it's been top 5 on itunes since friday ? this includes every days streaming too then ?
June 12, 20178 yr Amazing to see ALMA top 40. Doubt she'll remain there, but hopefully she can sneak it at some point with R1 playlisting. Can her collab with Sub Focus take off too while we're at it? Yas for 'Power' too, and double yas for NMSS climbing.
June 12, 20178 yr Huge well done to London Grammar, they are solid sales, could 50k be possible by end of week? Very disappointing opening for Katy Perry, from time to time i enjoy a single from Katy Perry, but have liked nothing from the new era at all. While her opening week looks disappointing, it will be more interesting to see how the album performs next week as the fans would be out in force this week to purchase it.
June 12, 20178 yr The run of British number 1's on the Album chart continues (only one non-British number 1 this year and that was a Soundtrack), wonder whether Lorde, Imagine Dragons, Haim, Lana or Arcade Fire can halt this run - personally hope all manage to make it!
June 12, 20178 yr I'm the One has fallen 3-8 in todays update surprisingly, so looks like we'll only have one Bieber song in the top 5 maybe :cheer: Speaking of Lorde, I think she'll be lucky to get #2, I was thinking she'll probably debut with around 15/16k, most likely behind Royal Blood and Ed Sheeran, but I guess it depends how London Grammar hold up next week as well, she could be pushed down to #4
