I wonder what's causing Legend to sell so well year on year recently :o I definitely wouldn't have expected that ahead of ABBA & Queen especially after this year (am I being dumb? :x)

 

It always seems to be in the top 100 and at the minute or very recently it was reduced on iTunes.

 

I kinda feel the same though regarding the reasons why it’s always charting though.

Wow the top 50 really is full of GHs collections from the biggest artists, fantastic to see the stabilising albums each year in the hart!!
Streaming really is helping Greatest Hits albums.

 

Shame to see Pink fall there. I just got that album on vinyl and I’m loving it all over again.

 

Did you pick it up in the HMV sales? Seen it there myself and was tempted!!

Actually got it at an independent store. Got the Arctics debut in the sales though!

Everything falls here nothing faster than Olly Murs who of course has a new GH out so his back catalogue may suffer.

Well done to Jess Glynne and Arctic Monkeys who continue to move up buoyed by successful new albums out in 2018. We get to One Direction’s best selling album but we have new lows for both Lana Del Ray and Bon Jovi who still put in a decent show all the same

 

33. I CRY WHEN I LAUGH- Jess Glynne (86-39-36-33) 1,146,400

 

Keep moving up queen :yahoo:

Got the Killers debut myself for 13 quid :wub:

Love the slow continued rise of AM each year!

 

Where did Nutini disappear to?

I like it that Paolo Nutini works at a slow pace

crazy how much Sunny Side Up has sold

Hell of a slow pace, when was the last album released?? Was a massive slow burner when released as well!

Up All Night 1,163,700

Take Me Home 1,042,800

Midnight Memories 922,200

FOUR 660,800

 

:wub:

 

4.3m sold, iconic

 

do you have any estimate on their last one? the last numbers are from 2017: 460k

It's a classic album and probably the only reggae album you need really.

26. HALCYON- Ellie Goulding (51-26-22-22-24-26) 1,219,000

 

Rag’N’Bone man may only by human but he rises 11 spots, Coldplay also lift above Mumford & Sons and Elvis after a good year spent in the top 200 mostly.

25. 1989- Taylor Swift (33-28-25-25) 1,219,900

24. PURPOSE- Justin Bieber (70-25-23-24) 1,277,200

23. LUNGS- Florence & The Machine (8-11-16-17-19-20-20-21-23) 1,278,800 (T/S 1,794,600)

22. WHO YOU ARE- Jessie J (19-14-14-16-18-19-20-22) 1,307,300

21. WANTED ON VOYAGE- George Ezra (57-21-21-22-21) 1,345,300

 

“1989” tracked “Purpose” for most of the year helped by a world tour to support it. Ezra’s first album continued to accrue the sales and rises to No 21- perhaps top 20 for the decade?

 

Mad when you look at how big Jessie was for her debut and now struggles to impact at all. Don’t think the Christmas album even went top 100 (correct me if I am wrong).

 

Lungs should go 1.8 million this year overall, so 6 x platinum! :cheer:

It is indeed re Jessie.

 

I loved her back in her debut era and even now I can’t deny that Who You Are is a fantastic album.

 

She really lost it for me from album 2 onwards and her personality soon become grating too.

 

Adore Lungs too another amazing debut album! I thought it may have sold more in its debut year I’m guessing You Got The Love really helped push sales followed by BRITS? I remember it going to number one like six month after release as it was released the same week MJ died?

Yup, that's precisely what happened!

Loads of acts are one album wonders - and they are lucky to have that, it's not a bad thing.

 

I remember, back in the day, Delta Goodrem was equalling and gonna be bigger than Kyiie, Holly Valance was comparable to Kylie in Aus......

 

They need to embrace the one album - it will give them enough of an income and career for life!

Yeah poor Jessie her debut so successful (would of been number 1 if not for a juggernaut) and her last album not even making the chart, although tbh she got more floppy with each release (shame as there are a few hidden jams on alive and sweet talker)
