Posted March 13, 20196 yr Ok come on then let's have a guess where My happy place will chart in the UK, I'll update this post. Sammy01 - #4. Spice boy - #8 Mr.X - #8 Vibe - #5 Spice girls net - #9 Pippa - #4 Jay - #7 Tommie - #3 Maz! - #10 Adancing - #9 Tawdry Hepburn - #5 Edited May 16, 20196 yr by Jay ☆
March 13, 20196 yr I will predict she will get to #8, but I am honestly expecting something like #12/14 I would LOVE IT if she was #4, but I think it is quite a lot to expect that high...
March 13, 20196 yr I feel too pessimistic to predict Top 5! :cry: I'll predict #7, matching Free Me's peak. I'd love to be surprised and see it enter the Top 5 though - imagine it becoming the first solo Spice Top 5 album since 16 years ago. :o Average sales needed for Top 10 positions in 2019 (11th Jan - 8th March; I'm not including 4th January because those sales were relatively higher than normal weeks, due to the holidays) - #1: 31,085 [Highest: 65,214 | Lowest: 18,199] #2: 16,141 [H: 20,702 | L: 10,560] #3: 11,423 [H: 17,057 | L: 8,264] #4: 9,968 [H: 14,370 | L: 6,634] #5: 8,916 [H: 12,782 | L: 6,409] #6: 8,095 [H: 12,415 | L: 6,226] #7: 7,223 [H: 10,889 | L: 5,704] #8: 6,448 [H: 8,391 | L: 5,528] #9: 5,785 [H: 6,615 | L: 5,279] #10: 5,411 [H: 6,003 | L: 5,008] Hopefully 12th April isn't a particularly competitive/strong selling week, but Emma definitely has to sell in the 5,000 area to have a chance of Top 10, and sell 6,000+ to make it comfortably. I'd be disappointed with it charting 11-15. I've just used the past 4 weeks for these average sales: #11: 4,909 #12: 4,813 #13: 4,557 #14: 4,390 #15: 4,161 Let's bear in mind that Melanie C - Version of Me managed to sell 4,084 as an independent release in Q4 2017. Emma's with a major and releasing in Q2... I'd be amazed if she only sold 4,000-ish. It's funny to think Life in Mono sold 12,307 to only enter/peak at #65! If she could manage those sales with My Happy Place she'd have a strong chance of going Top 3 :drama:
March 13, 20196 yr Author I would be amazing if she could make top 3 would be the first ever soli spice album to do so I believe? I'd be stunned if she missed the top 10.
March 14, 20196 yr Author Updated opening post, no one gone for top 3 or outside the top 10. Numbers 6 and 10 not predicted either watch it be one of those Haha.

March 15, 20196 yr I hope she gets a top 10 like nbr 9, much like Claire Richard album, I think they are in the same category, age rage, pop group solo...
March 15, 20196 yr Either #5 or #6. *edit - (I'll be optimistic and go with #5!) Edited March 15, 20196 yr by Tawdry Hepburn
