January 20, 20205 yr The signing will give the sales boost it needs to hold its position in the next chart update. Top 5 in the early part of the week is positive if it can retain Top 10 i think its the best result that Louise, her team and fans can hope for.
January 20, 20205 yr Midweek #7 today (4,574 sales), but it seems she could end up at #12 on Friday. She's projected to sell 5.5k. It's a bit frustrating considering that last week's #10 sold 4,688 copies, and 5.5k would have been enough to be comfortably #8.
January 20, 20205 yr Number 7 today does indicate the chances of Top 10 are slim. The signing may be enough to sway the album to stay Top 10.
January 20, 20205 yr I had her down as debuting at #9. I’m going to give the album a listen though. I’ve always personally liked her and her solo material prior to this was actually quite good and she does have a good voice. Stretch was a lot better than what I was expecting it to be when I heard that last year but I didn’t really follow the rest of the campaign. Intrigued to hear it in full though. Her last proper album Elbow Beach debuted at #12 though so this should at least match that.
January 20, 20205 yr Number 9 is where i had originally thought it would peak but i have my doubts now. The signing aside, has Louise any more promotion lined up for this week.
January 20, 20205 yr They have got to be a bit disappointed with 4.5k opening sales? Amazon signed vinyl Amazon signed CD Webstore - 2x Cassettes, 2x CDs, 2 x Vinyl and various bundles Album launch show - ticket/CD bundle HMV signing Don’t get me wrong it’s a good start but it’s been on pre-order for 8+ months and they have thrown a lot at it so a 5.5k opening week with it dropping out the following week has got to sting?

January 21, 20205 yr Still midweek #7 today, but the projected final position/sales has improved to #11 and 5.9k. #11 would hurt a bit :cry: Her official store is now selling the standard CD for £5 with free postage! Alongside the chance of winning a signed print. If this sways anyone into wanting to buy it, here’s the link: https://louise.tmstor.es/cart/product.php?id=42722 Edit: Signed CD is now £4.99 on Amazon! https://amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07Q12WYPS
January 21, 20205 yr She should upload pictures of her ex husband on Dudes With iPhones, then go on a promo tour including on Loose Women where she's horrified how her phone was hacked and her privacy invaded (#BuyHeavyLoveOutNow) :wub:
January 21, 20205 yr Another album signing is announced for Thursday evening in Lakeside Shopping Center, Essex! Go Louise, keep promoting!
January 21, 20205 yr Another album signing is announced for Thursday evening in Lakeside Shopping Center, Essex! Go Louise, keep promoting! I guess with it selling the physical OCC can't screw her on this one. But really, she should've done signings all days of the week :lol:
January 21, 20205 yr Let's be real, what were you expecting? :unsure: I wasn’t talking about what I was expecting?! I said ‘they’ meaning the record company/management must have been expecting more - for the effort they’ve put in they have got to be disappointed? (And not due to lack of effort on Louise’s part).
January 21, 20205 yr I wasn’t talking about what I was expecting?! I said ‘they’ meaning the record company/management must have been expecting more - for the effort they’ve put in they have got to be disappointed? (And not due to lack of effort on Louise’s part). Doesn't seem so, a week ago someone on Popjustice said that they "know for a fact that they're happy with the preorders and happy with the tour sales so far". Hopefully their expectations were reasonable and they knew she wasn't likely to sell tens of thousands. The signed CD has experienced a decent boost on Amazon, currently #14! For most of the week it's been hovering in the low 20s/30s area. Side note: I'm pretty surprised to see that her Changing Faces Greatest Hits CD is in stock in HMV's store!
January 21, 20205 yr I'm sure with her back in the limelight musically her greatest hits will have picked up a few sales.
January 21, 20205 yr Side note: I'm pretty surprised to see that her Changing Faces Greatest Hits CD is in stock in HMV's store! I'm not that surprised to be honest - before she embarked on this comeback they made sure to get her music on streaming services, so it wouldn't surprise me if her management made contact with EMI to get it back into the stores (which surely is in their best interest too either way). There's really nothing to complain about how they've handled this comeback for a fairly low-key former pop star - Dannii Minogue next please. :arrr:
January 21, 20205 yr It's really great that her full back catalogue is on streaming, certainly going above and beyond what most artists have online. I wish more artists had all their CD single track lists available to stream!
