September 29, 20186 yr A member of Chic said on Instagram that their album is #3, Cher is #2 and Rod Stewart is #1. I'm guessing that's in the UK. I really hope Cher can catch up with Rod!
September 29, 20186 yr Fingers crossed for Cher! I've downloaded my copy from itunes will probably end up buying a physical copy too this week too just to support her (I was planning to wait until it was reduced as I'm not a big fan of the album)
September 29, 20186 yr Quite an impressive Metacritic score of 78 so far! That indicates generally positive/favourable reviews. Closer to the Truth had a score of 61. Great if Cher is starting out at midweek #2 :wub:
September 30, 20186 yr Author Impressive that Cher is a contender for #1 after Closer to the Truth fell short. Mamma Mia has really boosted her career, she's so popular with people my age right now. Gimme always goes off in my town!
September 30, 20186 yr Back to No.1 on Amazon with Rod at 2 and Chic at 26. I think Rod will be more front-loaded than Cher ths week. Agree that One Of Us is the stand-out. Edited September 30, 20186 yr by Crazy Chris
September 30, 20186 yr No not great Jay she should be midweek and all week #1!!! For every album!! Ha! Well here's hoping, it would be fabulous to see her score another #1 album (it would be her first since her Greatest Hits in 1992 :o ) Impressive that Cher is a contender for #1 after Closer to the Truth fell short. Mamma Mia has really boosted her career, she's so popular with people my age right now. Gimme always goes off in my town! That's great to hear! I've found it a shame for a while how radio/streaming suggests that teens/young adults are unable to connect with artists that are any older than those in their thirties at maximum. I'm certain that so many young people would actually be very diverse if only older artists were actually presented to them more. It was a lot more "anything goes" when I was very young. For instance I was only 10 when Cher released Believe and I didn't care at all that she was 52 (I don't think at the time I was even interested in how old she was, I just loved the song). Anyway it's excellent to see that her CD is #1 on Amazon! It's also #1 on iTunes. Do we know if she has any British promo upcoming?
September 30, 20186 yr Winner Takes It All is perfect. Just wish she sang the “roll the dice” outro. Edited September 30, 20186 yr by KWEEN_DEE

September 30, 20186 yr She's tracking for 160k-180k in the US and will open at number 2 (or 3 if Kanye drops an album, which seems likely). That's unbelievably huge for her. Her last studio album, Closer to the Truth, opened with 63k. So, it's a HUGE jump.
September 30, 20186 yr Oh I hope Kanye doesn't release would be fantastic for Cher to get the #2 position in the US would be her highest charting solo album ever over there, and her highest since Look at us by Sonny & Cher in 1962 which also hit #2. Would love for Cher to finally get a #1 album in America though she bloody deserves one (although maybe not for this record lol).
September 30, 20186 yr Loving the CD but at just 40 minutes long she could have added a few extra tracks. Say 12-14 instead of just 10.
September 30, 20186 yr Do we know if she has any British promo upcoming? As far as I'm aware, no. She is currently Down Under for the Aussie leg of the Here We Go Again Tour. Edited September 30, 20186 yr by Voodoo
October 1, 20186 yr 'One of Us' now available: Z1yDZCyrkgk I still can't get enough of 'One of Us'. Her vocal is so moving. The orchestral arrangement is excellent. It's like a completely new song. I've never cared much for the original reggae / tropical version. This video is actually done cleverly. It’s a blue vinyl record playing the last track on the album. Perfect! :wub:
October 3, 20186 yr Author That's great to hear! I've found it a shame for a while how radio/streaming suggests that teens/young adults are unable to connect with artists that are any older than those in their thirties at maximum. I'm certain that so many young people would actually be very diverse if only older artists were actually presented to them more. It was a lot more "anything goes" when I was very young. For instance I was only 10 when Cher released Believe and I didn't care at all that she was 52 (I don't think at the time I was even interested in how old she was, I just loved the song). Agreed. I actually think in a lot of cases that it's more young people don't buy music from older artists because they're not played on commercial radio rather than radio doesn't play them because young people aren't interested. Not always the case, granted, but I do think that if radio and Spotify gave certain artists a chance that some would see a bit more chart relevance. I'm still loving this album. Joyful music by a woman so full of life; it's so easy to just transport to a happy place when listening to this record.
October 6, 20186 yr So it debuted at #2 in the UK, her highest album chart position since her Greatest hits went in at #1 in 1992 and her highest studio album peak since 1991's Love Hurts. Does anyone know the sales I can't find it in the charts thread they are really hard to navigate lol.
October 6, 20186 yr Oh ignore me I found it in the thread 'Sales' :lol: 22,677 for #2. An improvement on her last album's 14,621, that one went silver so should be looking at Gold for this one hopefully.
