Edit. Just looked at Red’s chart run and it spent 43 weeks in the Top 10 :lol: So yeah, expecting more than 30k then.

 

Red spent 4 weeks top 10?

I was going to say :lol: maybe that was in the US?

As I previously said, 1989 sold 90k in week 1, reputation selling only 30k would be a massive comedown and is hugely unlikely imo.

I predict something like 70k for Reputation and it might be enough to beat Sam's second week, or then not. It's probably quite close.

 

Rag'n'Bone Man's second week was just under 70k, I believe Sam could be doing numbers like that

Oops meant 1989.

I expect she will be no1 but overall won’t sell as well as 1989 did in total.

I'm sure she's gonna release a brand new single before the album, a real proper classic Taylor single... to me, Look was like a buzz single, like saying I'm back, and Ready is rteally a teaser, the album opener, no more... both tracks are ok but far for classic Taylor and I'm pretty sure they have a big single coming, no way they're just have launch the album on the back of those, would be too shaky and then defo Sam Smith could pip her to #1... but I'm sure the killer proper single is coming and that will make the album a big seller...

 

for me, We are Never Ever, Trouble, Shake it off and Black Space are classics and all have genious moments that the newies lack...

I think Sam Smith could keep her from #1. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sam sell more than 90K in week 2 but we'll see.

 

What was Ed's second week?

Just seen on Fearne Cottons Instagram that she’s hosting a BBC one Special for Sam to be shown on the 9th!

This could just be the boost he needs to stop Taylor getting to #1. Even had the special been shown on the 3rd like I presumed it would have been I still think he’d have done it but this will definitely work in his favour B-)

What was Ed's second week?

 

Ed did have SOY and COTH still in top 3 when he released the album almost 2 months after release them

 

TGAG is struggling to stay top 20 so maybe he won’t be as massive

 

If Taylor has promo that week she could clinch it but could be highest selling number 2 album if not

TGAG is struggling to stay top 20 so maybe he won’t be as massive

Struggling so hard that it's still in the top 5 :')

TGAG is struggling to stay top 20 so maybe he won’t be as massive

1-1-1-2-3-3-5

 

7 weeks inside the top 5 and 3 weeks at number 1... although after the next 2 weeks it'll be on ACR so I guess it will be dropping out of the top 20 by week 10.

Oops I meant top 5 :blush: :blush: so won’t have the astronomical sales of ed

 

Ed had a drop from 620k to 300k in week 2

 

If sam does even half of that it’s not looking good for Taylor

Taylor's first week will easily outsell the c**t's second x

 

 

I think that's disgusting. Even if you dislike an artist there's no need to call them that. :rolleyes:

 

Sam Smith's second week will not be a threat for Taylor Swift lbr.

 

 

Next Thursday he has a prime-time BBC1 hour long special though which will boost sales for his second week.

I know it’s the US album chart but hopefully she can push some momentum over to the uk

She should easily pass 1M in the US pure sales alone.

 

I reckon she’s on X Factor next week so she should do 80-100K really.

Apple look to be really pushing her banner on first page and exclusive videos

Judging by Sam's first week sales I think she'll easily beat his second week and secure No.1.

Will it be available on

Spotify from day 1?

No, I guess it'll have one week sales only
