December 9, 20187 yr Those RPO albums are such a joke now, enough already! A matter of opinion and they're popular. I bought both Elvis and both Orbison ones and will get The Carpenters CD at some point. If they didn't sell well they wouldn't keep doing them. The Orbison and Holly ones are holding up quite well so far. Cilla's didn't do too well. Carpenters will hopefully be Top 10 this week. Can imagine it'll be popular and is TV advertised.

December 9, 20187 yr There's no point getting uptight about the RPO albums, they'll more than likely disappear once the new year rolls around, they always do. As for The 1975, I'd take that early update with a lorry load of salt. They'll probably still be top 20 by week's end and if they get nominated for a few BRITs in January that'll more than likely bump them back to the top 10 for a bit. Also just whilst we're on the subject did I read correctly in the papers this weekend that Jane McDonald is eligible to be nominated for BRITs this year? That'd be brilliant/hilarious if she won (albeit as likely as me growing wings).
December 9, 20187 yr What I'm curious to see this week is the album sales of artists like Little mix and Olly Murs who used to be sure fire in December
December 9, 20187 yr Little Mix have Strictly tonight so hopefully a boost of some sort for them in the albums chart (and a more comfortable drop for WLM). I'm really unsure though coz WLM doesn't really scream "album seller" to me, but we shall see. Their first promo slot since the Saturday of album release!
December 9, 20187 yr Also just whilst we're on the subject did I read correctly in the papers this weekend that Jane McDonald is eligible to be nominated for BRITs this year? That'd be brilliant/hilarious if she won (albeit as likely as me growing wings). She is indeed - she had a top 40 album during the eligibility period, which makes her eligible for nomination. I very much doubt she'd get a nomination though, unless the Best Female category has incredibly slim pickings.
December 9, 20187 yr Was gonna say that must be a poor amount of female solo artists with new albums!
December 9, 20187 yr Was gonna say that must be a poor amount of female solo artists with new albums! There's been a few. http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=217634 I predict: Anne-Marie Jorja Smith Florence + the Machine Jess Glynne Rita Ora
December 9, 20187 yr I had high hopes for her this year but she hasn't been deceived well commercially

December 9, 20187 yr I had high hopes for her this year but she hasn't been deceived well commercially It hasn't stopped people getting nominations before though has it?! Her album went Top 20 at least.

December 10, 20187 yr Was gonna say that must be a poor amount of female solo artists with new albums! It’s the brits though emeli sands and Adele aside recent years have been very leftfield
December 10, 20187 yr Don't forget Stefflon Don also released an album. Female is quite tough (in terms of high profile releases) this year, but imma guess Ella Mai will be the "who?" Choice for the gp, mainly down to her US success.
December 10, 20187 yr I'm excited for Coldplay release. But in chart, Michael Bublé will be their biggest competitor. Streaming/Digital sales are too good for Buble. But i'm hoping Coldplay is better on physical sales.
December 10, 20187 yr I'd say Jorja Smith has a lot of chances of winning this does Florence usually get nominated as Solo? or as Band? sure her label will push for Anne Marie but she's the worst IMHO
