If everything sells at the same rate as they did on Sunday, then Kylie would actually end up at #13. Brian Eno should fall behind but A Star is Born, Divide and Bohemian Rhapsody should overtake. Shakespears' Sister sold much less than Kylie on Sunday but is far enough ahead to remain above come Friday. As Jay said though, there's missing data so it could all change, especially with sales as close as they are.

Hopefully the missing data will push her back up but Top 15 on week 4 is still a great result :cheer:

With all the optimistic forecast, streaming will eventually screw her up just like previous weeks.

#13 in today's update, but on track for #12 as Shakespears' Sister are now set to drop below. Can't see the album making it back into the Top 10 though.

Now would be a good time for BMG to reduce the price of the cassettes! 3 of the 5 colour variants are still 99+ copies in stock. Surely they don't want these cassettes lying around unsold for months, so in my view it would be better for increased cassette sales to contribute to the chart now, while it's still on the verge of Top 10, rather than in weeks/months from now when the album has fallen lower down the chart.

 

(6 days since my last cassette update :kink: )

 

99+ - Clear, Green, White

75 - Pink [5 sold]

59 - Gold [4 sold]

 

At least 431 remaining (it'll be more, because we don't know how many of the clear/green/white are left).

I am disappointed with that, i was so sure it would be Top 10 this week.

You would think they would be eager to do this but the fact that the Christmas Silver Special Edition ‘Golden’ cassette is still available for £10 almost 8 months after release on her website makes me think they’ll be in no rush to reduce these.

I guess the Glastonbury effect can only last for so long - time for a few key strategic promo slots to keep awareness high.

With no promotion coming the album could possibly fall quicker than i was hoping for. :cry:

It should get a boost after Brighton Pride, albeit a likely small one.

I think it’ll give her a decent boost - press exposure will be good and I’m sure people heading to see her will stream before and after hopefully.

When is Brighton Pride taking place?

Darn was expecting/ hoping for another week in the top ten, especially as it’s low sales season.

She has a special gig on Friday in London then pride the week after. Can see her doing something.... maybe a special pride discount on her website or an itunes reduction for pride.

 

Meanwhile New York city now up to 348 on USA itunes lol.

I’m not totally surprised it’s starting to drop quickly. It started well but with little promotion lined up and no further singles planned it will be lucky to shift 100k in total. I really can’t see the campaign stretching to Xmas!

It was a strong start but it was week 4 snd 5 golden drooped off and then recovered. I still think sales are close so 500 sales could make a difference of 4 or 5 places.

I'm pretty sure this will be a decent trickle seller over time for her, and that it should very easily clear 100k.

It should be a trickle seller for a long time and either way should sell 100k,I was hoping for 100k in its initial chart run and further trickle sales in the long run.

The next 4-5 weeks will tell if the album will hold up or not.

This week it is likely to have a bigger than expected fall but it may recover.
