Those sales for The Greatest Showman are amazing. Might do 35k this week.

I wonder if any of the Cranberries track will make it given there is only today and tomorrow and streaming etc will hold them back a fair bit. Plus some of the songs are now falling on I-tunes too

Ugh poor Sigrid, she’s gonna drop out

I'm quite sure she won't :P

Where are Liam & Rita? I figured they’d fall from 12 since that midweek had no spotify included but where have they actually fallen to?

Both 'Zombie' and 'Linger' are currently in the top 90 with the former just ahead, sadly it seems unlikely at this stage that either will make the top 40.

Camila Cabello remains with a chance to stay number 2 but a top 3 debut with solid sales is impressive. She looks easily to be on track to outsell the Fifth Harmony album sales.

As much as I am impressed that Dua album is back in top 10 (on a back of a new single) I feel like her label failed to promote her album on Xmas season and sell it like a hot cake...potential was there but they failed!!!

I think the OCC just put anything on ACR if its years old regardless of how long it has spent in the chart. This has led to (amongst other things) the quite frankly ridiculous situation of John Williams 'Carol Of The Bells' being a brand new entry at #97 last Christmas... with ACR applied to it.

With songs where there is no reliable sales data that might make sense, but only if they restricted it to songs with more than ten weeks in the chart. Of course, this is the OCC we are talking about, so logic doesn't always apply.

This!! Total missed opportunity especially after how much they have invested in her and how hard they have pushed the whole campaign - with just a little bit of promo/advertising they could have got some excellent sales for the album. Most people probably don’t realize how many hits the album has on it.

Very much the case with Dua Lipa. Considering how big she is right now the album should have got much more of a push in the busy period.

 

The album, has sold respectfully but should be much higher than 130,000.

I have to admit, I thought Dua would be more front-loaded than she has been, and thought she'd be a lot further down the chart than she is at the moment. Still, the lack of promotion over Christmas was a mistake and could have easily put her closer to 200,000.

 

I have no idea when she's going to start a new album campaign, given that this one has been going on for over two years and she's still releasing singles from this one

Dua said she's releasing two more singles after New Rules, so we still have one to come after IDGAF. I don;t blame her really, New Rules was her breakthrough smash even if she'd had a few hits before, but the general public are now fully aware of her so why not milk the moment? IDGAF is proving it's not a bad thing so far!

IDGAF would've been lost in the Xmas shuffle. She'll get the most attention out of it this way. Wouldn't be surprised if the album goes top 3 soon.

I was gonna say something similar. The risk would've been it getting lost in the Christmas stampede, in turn backfiring on capitalising on "New Rules". Also the album is much more likely to hit number 1 in the coming weeks than it would have going up against Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith.

but in Dec, she could have done 50k a week, easily 200k in Dec alone with the right promo/push, now 15-20k max

...or it could've backfired massively, like with "Lost In Your Light".

Definitely I wouldn't expected her to go against Ed and Sam lol but instead of album charting in low region of top 75 and sell barely 4k-5k during Xmas season, it could have stayed stable inside the top 20 and sell in a region of 25k-30k. Of course this is just an assumption and nothing guaranteed but you can tell that the interest is there since album is bouncing back once again.

Hmmm after New Rules it was very much guaranteed that she is in a right path getting another hit.
