No.3 is a good result. Shame it couldn’t be no.1 but considering she’s been away 6 years no.3 is acceptable.

So close to 20k! I wonder how Dave and Foals managed to get so far ahead in the end, there must have been missing midweek data.

Dave I can understand because of his streaming advantage and the social media pushes he was giving it but I would never have seen Foals 7k ahead of Dido from the midweeks! Actually pretty impressive that Foals managed to do that well.

 

This album continues to grow on me - though I can't help but feel it's lacking something. Paid more attention to the last track this time and it is lovely isn't it.

20k sales is great. Would have loved a No.1 but a tough week to be fair. No.1 and No.2 Dave and Foals got so ahead of her in the end...I'm shocked. About 1k less and she may have even missed the top 5 with Tom Walker and Sigrid just close behind her. So we should be happy with No.3!

#5 on Amazon (and Jacks album has two versions ahead of her) and #3 on iTunes.

 

Looking like it’s not gonna drop too much this week then? :cheer:

 

 

It would be fantastic to see her remain top 10. It would actually signal that more than her fans are here for her this time.

 

Her last studio albums went 2-18 (STH) and 5-12 (GWGA) so staying top 10 with this one would be amazing.

What was the album selling in the last few days last week? Usually a good sign of how it's holding up!!

 

Saw her JR performance there and she's still a lovely singer and very attractive!

 

even if she did 3-45, that would be ok, it's the new normal for non-spotify-friendly artists

 

Dave and Foals ended up ahead cos there's always streaming data in the mids, most of album streams are added at the very end

I kind of ignored the last era (except for 'End of Night' which I really loved), but I've heard 'No Freedom' for the first time and I'm liking it a lot! I might give the album a spin.

 

The new album is a solid body of work though.

Pleased to see it top 10 midweek, hope it holds up!
#45 in the US, #14 in Australia
really? why should she be higher in AU?

Because I thought Australia would be more receptive to her?

 

Here's my review:

 

Hurricanes - 8/10 (beautiful tri-hop track about resilience in the face of chaos, immediately recaps my interest in Dido.)

Give you up - 7/10 (It's good enough but it's still underwhelming to an extent, the video is nice though).

Hell After This - 8/10 (The musical style is rather new from Dido and it works totally!)

You Don't Need a God - 8/10 (A nice and gentle RnB influenced track, love the soaring vocal during the chorus)

Take You Home - 10/10 (my favourite on the album so far, I would love to see Dido doing more of this, such as working with DJs specializing in chill-house :wub: )

Some Kind of Love - 10/10 (Masterpiece, the bridge is fantastic!)

Still on my mind - 9/10 (Another favourite from the album, there's just something about this song that got me hooked to it).

Mad Love - 7/10 (Not my favourite and I don't consider it to be the best on the album)

Walking By - 9/10 (It is a grower and the chorus plays a big part to help me like the song)

Friends - 8/10 (A funky number, love it)

Chances - 7/10 (A bit of a filler)

Have to Stay - 10/10 (A beautiful portrait of parenthood. When it comes to depicting real life, Dido is like a realist artist but just more aesthetically)
