July 5, 20178 yr Thanks! 27? :( I really hope they stay top 40 27 is BAAAD!! I'm still waiting for my Kickstarter album to arrive.....might have to buy a non=kickstarter copy
July 5, 20178 yr 27 is BAAAD!! I'm still waiting for my Kickstarter album to arrive.....might have to buy a non=kickstarter copy Not that bad considering they're independent and haven't released an album in 15 years and haven't had a top 40 album since 2000! I'd say they're doing good all things considered, the music business is just too ageist for women over 40 to be successful :(
July 5, 20178 yr What's with the low number of weeks on ABBA Gold ad Queen Greatest Hits etc?? It's how many weeks it's spent on the midweek chart since it was started to be published officially a few years ago

July 5, 20178 yr Where is Martin Jensen in the midweeks with the new rules unapplied? Must be interesting to see that. And also Ed? Thank you!
July 5, 20178 yr Author Where is Martin Jensen in the midweeks with the new rules unapplied? Must be interesting to see that. And also Ed? Thank you! Martin 30+7 Ed (Shape, I assume you mean) 10+3
July 5, 20178 yr Ed (Shape, I assume you mean) 10+3 Shape is at 10+3? It was 24 in Monday's mids, how has it climbed back up 11 places in one day? :unsure:
July 5, 20178 yr Martin 30+7 Ed (Shape, I assume you mean) 10+3 Thank you, yep, I meant Shape! So as absurd as it is 'Solo Dance' has benefitted of the new rules as of now.
July 5, 20178 yr just realised Ed also beat Calvin when he released his last album Motion in 2014, and similarly Ed's album had been released months ago :) 9 11 2014 1 2 x Ed Sheeran 2 E Motion Calvin Harris Motion's 1st week sales were much higher though... from wiki: Motion debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart, with 37,325 copies sold in its first week.
July 5, 20178 yr Author Motion was released in Q4 so it's not that surprising that it got bigger first-week sales. There's also the small thing of Calvin changing his style which probably has alienated some of his fanbase.
July 5, 20178 yr Despite some big names on the album, this has always felt like a "Low key" release for Calvin, like a home pet project, of putting out some vibes. Feels is shaping up to be a really big hit though, and Slide did well, so it looks like it's still another successful era for him.
July 5, 20178 yr "Feels" becoming big is also great for Katy and Pharrell who were starting to look like they were entering dud eras.
July 5, 20178 yr These new rules are an absolute joke, discriminating against half the chart by basically ignoring half their sales because they've been popular for more than 10 weeks. It won't be long before Despacito falls into the same trap while potentially still being the most streamed and downloaded track.
July 5, 20178 yr they had to come up with something cos otherwise streams count forever unlike CD sales, downloads etc
July 5, 20178 yr And one of them is dead. I think that's probably significant. Well that goes without saying

It won't be long before Despacito falls into the same trap while potentially still being the most streamed and downloaded track. Exactly! Who wants to see Despacito at the top for weeks and weeks! It's totally unfair on new and emerging artists who either don't have the funds to get high placements on streaming nor the fanbase yet. I totally agree with how they've done it, it doesn't affect tracks that are still increasing just ones that are slowly moving place by place down the chart.
July 5, 20178 yr "Feels" becoming big is also great for Katy and Pharrell who were starting to look like they were entering dud eras. They are only featured artists on the track and we don't know if it will be "big" per se. It may not ever go top5 and could drop next week.
