Ah thanks Liam. That could be better I guess but I'm not totally disappointed given the hype seemed to disappear once Girlfriend had been released.

I was hoping they would clear 20k for the week. I guess that could still happen once we find out how much it's selling daily, but you're right in that any hype from 'Girlfriend' wasn't really sustained.

Yeh 5 Dollars is very mass market orientated but not very good imo compared to all her other releases!

Jools Holland is back on Saturday nights on BBC2 this weekend, there isn't any guest list yet, I wonder if she has a spot on the show.

Actually back on tomorrow night and she's not on this week. Jess Glynne is though :kink:

Good to see Kylie return to the T40 albums.

Hoping Black Honey can stay top 40.

Jools Holland is back on Saturday nights on BBC2 this weekend, there isn't any guest list yet, I wonder if she has a spot on the show.

 

Joining Jools on the first show of the series are five artists, all making their own debuts on the show. From London, Jess Glynne, who this year became the first British female solo artist to have seven number one singles in the UK. She performs tracks from her upcoming second album Always in Between, which is the follow-up to her massive selling 2015 debut I Cry When I Laugh.

 

From Bristol, blistering intelligent punk from five-piece Idles, whose social commentary and sparky live performances have earned them rave reviews and a top five slot for their second LP Joy As An Act of Resistance. Back together since their last record 16 years ago, synthpop duo and stars of the 1980s charts Soft Cell. Singer Marc Almond and producer Dave Ball perform on the show in the week of their farewell concert at the O2 Arena and perform a new track as well as a classic or two from their haul of top 10 hits.

 

Making her TV debut on the show is Brooklyn-based 19-year-old songstress Mikaela Straus, AKA King Princess. The first signing to Mark Ronson's new Zelig label, one of the tracks she performs is 1950, which has been described as one of this year's political anthems and a beautiful homage to the LGBTQ+ community.

 

Completing the line-up is the prolific and gifted songwriter, and one of the great storytellers, Ralph McTell, who is now celebrating more than 50 years on the road. Known for his virtuoso guitar style, Ralph made his debut in 1968 with the album Eight Frames a Second, and in 1974 his timeless track Streets of London earned him an Ivor Novello Award. He performs his track West 4th & Jones Street, which is based on the iconic cover of Bob Dylan's Freewheelin'.

 

Other artists set to perform during the series include Muse, Jungle, Laurel, Interpol, Sigrid, Joe Bonamassa, Neneh Cherry and Paul Weller.

also thought Christine would do at least 20K but seems it will fall short, seems to be again kamikaze-TGS for the top 2

Music Week have corrected the sales for Christine and given a sales-breakdown:

 

Chris (Because) crept ahead of Suede’s The Blue Hour (Rhino) in yesterday’s sales flashes by 9,075 copies to 8,139, although the album also faces strong competition from Eminem’s stayer Kamikaze (Interscope) in the days ahead. Chris has sold 6,033 physical units, 2,514 downloads and has racked up 528 sales equivalent streams to date, according to the OCC.

King Princess :wub: Ew at Jess being on it though.

Other artists set to perform during the series include Muse, Jungle, Laurel, Interpol, Sigrid, Joe Bonamassa, Neneh Cherry and Paul Weller.

He'll probably have another new album out by the time he is on :lol:

Music Week have corrected the sales for Christine and given a sales-breakdown:

It’s a shame her streams aren’t great. Probably not helped by fans listening to all 24 songs, with only the top 12 being included for the sales units.

 

The album is rather hit and miss for me, but it’s good stuff is really good. Loving 5 Dollars, so would be great to see that at least chart in the top 100.

I expected higher opening sales for Christine and the Queens, it is likely to miss the Top 2 now and with disappointing sales.

Wouldn't that depend on whether the label have registered the French version as variants of the English ones (or vice-versa)?

Vice-versa. They just created English versions to impact the international market like they did for the 1st album.

Initially, Tilted was a French song called Christine.

They know that songs in total French had no chance to chart outside France, Belgium and Switzerland.

NO OTHER SALES INFO

Looks like the Mumfords will hold onto top 40!

 

Where is TOOTIME?

I thought the Prince album would do better than this, given that it's his first posthumous release. I can see Josh Groban overtaking Slash and maybe Suede too to hit #4. Christine will likely end on 13-14k then, not awful but not what most were expecting.

Looks like the Mumfords will hold onto top 40!

 

Where is TOOTIME?

Outside the top 40 is all I can say. As it says in the update, we only have the top 40.

Hope Lil Peep can keep that last slot in the top ten! And nice to see Mumford & Sons holding on, hope they make it into the top 40 at the end of the week!
