Gary has also moved significantly ahead of Steps on Amazon and overtaken them on iTunes.

 

Could get close to 50,000 sales in week 1

Gary is safely going to be Number 1 now and but i think his sales will be much closer to 45k than 50k.

Yeah, good point. Although...with lots of high profile promo next week, it might do a good chunk then too

The scheduling of promotion will help sustain sales beyond week one.

The album should easily secure Gold status by year end.

Just looking at the release schedule, it looks like there’s nothing big coming from now to Xmas. Gary has a chance to stay in the top 5 for the Xmas period. Maybe even another week at #1

Debuts at Number 10 here in Ireland :huh:

No chance of it being #1 next week, Arctic Monkeys, Yungblud and Shawn Mendes at least should be above it.

Sorry, yeah, I mean, before Xmas he might get a boost again (maybe)

 

Good news for Ireland. Great to see another top 10. Was there any promo? Assume the night at the museum and royal variety get shown in Ireland?

Ah yeah that's a good point :lol: certainly seems like a good bet for Christmas #1 I'd say! I know Ball & Boe are the obvious choice, but are many people actually going to buy a Christmas album with the day only a week away?

He did get a video part on last weeks late late toy show which would have helped,its generally the most watched tv show of the year here and had 1.7 million viewers last Friday and he is on the show tonight again via video link which will hopefully help him with sales for this week. Might at the museum isnt on the tv listings here yet but im confident it will be shown maybe next weekend, our Virgin media channel is basically a replica of itv.

Gary has just announced the number 1 on Twitter (maybe before the official charts? :lol:)

 

Well guess what, we did it, we’re the number 1 selling album this week ! I want to say a wholehearted thank you to everyone out there who’s supported me and this record, it means so much to me.

Finally, he gets his much deservved number 1! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Gary’s solo career suddenly looked much better after the last couple of albums!

 

3 number 1 albums (4 top 5)

3 number 1 singles (6 top 10; 8 top 20)

Vey good to hear!!

Music Played By Humans, Gary Barlow’s first solo work for seven years, becomes his third such No.1 album with a suitably large sale of 46,406 (43,887 of these physical). He previously hit the top with his solo debut Open Road (1997) as well as with Diamond Jubilee-themed mini album Sing (2012), on which he was credited alongside the Commonwealth Band. To this total we of course must add the eight No.1s he has achieved as a member of Take That, the most recent of these coming in 2018 with Odyssey. Barlow’s biggest selling solo album to date is his 2013 comeback Since I Saw You Last which has posted 723,521 chart sales since release.

Vey good to hear!!

 

Time to update your signature Jay? :lol:

 

Haha, I can’t remember how to! It’s been a while :lol:

A debut in Germany too. Hopefully he promotes over there
