Prodigy coming for Christina Aguilera’s record with that drop from #1 :drama:

 

I think The Vamps already beat that last year.

 

Just checked and they fell 1-35 but the album later re-entered at number 2 but fell to 47 the following week. Wish it got #1 again so it could break the record twice :lol:

What number are the prodigy now or is it still number 21?

Muse heading for 6 consecutive Number 1 album.

 

Pretty epic record!

Well it kinda HAS destroyed all the competition this year, see the YTD thread

 

Let’s be real though...the greatest showman album came out in December 2017 and has had a re release with a singalong version and now going to get another bump thanks to this cover album. A Star is Born soundtrack came out last month and is in the top 20 of the YTD chart. I’m not knocking the greatest showman as I love the film and soundtrack but it’s not really a fair comparison between the two really.

 

Oh and the fact songs are being used in Xmas adverts and three contestants singing songs from it on X factor surely has helped the boost aswell.

I thought albums falling from #1 to outside the top 20 were a common occurrence now? Hey at least they got there!

Let’s be real though The greatest showman had already passed over a million before the “singalong rerelease” and if it wasn’t such a juggernaut their wouldn’t even have been a consideration of a covers album

 

Besides the number 2 selling album of the year isn’t even half of the sales

 

Also successful albums are re released all the time

This!

 

It has left GaGa in the dust in the charts already even a full year after release!!

I wouldn't say it's common, but it's not super unusual either.

Not unusual? I didn't think anyone aside from Christina and The Vamps had done it?

Your comparison is just silly could understand a mamma Mia v GSM seeing as they are MUSICALS ASIB is a drama that happens to have music in and has managed that kind of success over the course of just over a month! And buttered muffin stop being so silly will you the album is nearly a YEAR old and it’s a soundtrack not a gaga album. Go look at the YTD chart forum ASIB is number 19 with just over a month of release so stop going on like the album has flopped

Oops meant super usual, meaning that it does NOT happen that often.

The comparison is not silly they both movie soundtracks however you credit them if you want to be picky TGS is also a drama as well as a musical go back and watch it propery :P

 

TGS also sold similar in its first few months it has had the staying power to last a year

Has Cheryl done enough to stay in the Top 20?

Will Ellie manage top 30?

Muse will be higher than Little Flops next week :cheer:

Yeah the greatest showman is a drama that had a 15 age rating....they are so similar ones a family film full of pop song and sing along songs and one is a drama with emotional story line and emotional ballads.....yeah they are the same silly me.

looks like Muse have slowed down a bit, so won't reach 50K then

not surprisingly TGS did better than both Olly and Muse yesterday

Muse will be higher than Little Flops next week :cheer:

 

I used to get offended by your comments but I'm warming to you 😂.

A comparison is fair no matter how you try and spin it

 

 

Good for olly should have released last week if he wanted an easy number 1 should still do well in long run hopefully get gold or platinum. So another easy week for ariana wonder if she has enough steam to last until christmas
