November 18, 20195 yr The tweet is funny! Hardly any backlash for them this year, it has been successful so far. Album gets better with every listen.
November 18, 20195 yr not sure outselling the top 10 means 6-number figure, but i hope... It is not defining exactly if it's outselling the top 10 new releases or the official top 10, but that was right after the first day of release which apparently would be the highest selling for new releases especially for an artist like Westlife :) Last week 2-10 sold around 115k.
November 18, 20195 yr Not bad at all! Will be a big seller over xmas too, seems to be some hype again. Another life has become my fave om the album
November 18, 20195 yr Not bad at all! Will be a big seller over xmas too, seems to be some hype again. Another life has become my fave om the album Mine too, but Repair is close so I would call it a draw :D 50K makes it already a bigger seller than most of no.1 albums in the last few weeks. Actually most albums of the year, only bigger sellers were the linkes of Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran. Liam Galagher etc. And of course it is only Monday. Edited November 18, 20195 yr by zeze88
November 18, 20195 yr Very good sales, but, with pre orders for almost a year, will sales collapse for the remainder of the week?
November 18, 20195 yr Very good sales, but, with pre orders for almost a year, will sales collapse for the remainder of the week? That will be interesting to see. I am not sure if 1 year old pre-order is actually a good thing, I bet things would have been even better if the album was released while the hype was huge. Of course that was not possible considering they really finished the album just a few weeks ago but I'm just saying.
November 18, 20195 yr Author Idk maybe everyone in the top 10 will be lucky to have 1k a day sales. Some of the other album formats are not released at the same time I believe
November 18, 20195 yr Not many have a pre order for a year so its new to us. I am more stunned with Take That so high. It is interesting some years back both Take That and Westlife released on the same week. That time, Westlife like now had a studio album and Take That has a live album release too.

Take that sold the most that time despite having a lower peak, it wont happen this time, I think westlife will be very happy with those sales.
November 19, 20195 yr Author The pop and pop band comeback of the decade in the UK Albums Chart in 2019 The biggest selling (pure sales only since we all know they will struggle in streaming so far) album by a foreign pop band and an Irish act of 2019 on its first update and week so far Top ten in Apple Music UK this week Take That might get the #2 no matter how expensive the video album is since boy band lovers are out in the record shops this week Edited November 19, 20195 yr by myxxd
November 19, 20195 yr It looks like they put their documentary on hold. Also, they might try to crack America again: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/10372...obox=1574141107
November 19, 20195 yr The pop and pop band comeback of the decade in the UK Albums Chart in 2019 based on what? :)
November 19, 20195 yr This is a solid album, I love Repair, didn’t expect to hear an Enya vibe in the production, and Without You caught my ear too. Hello My Love remains excellent and My Blood is really good, I’d have released that second over Better Man, which feels too calculated a move to exactly recreate their old hits. I expect it could have given them another top 20 hit.
November 19, 20195 yr 1 Ed Sheeran 125,031 73,173 49,858 1 Lewis Capaldi 89,506 58,897 30,609 (7,206 on vinyl) Can we beat any of those? At least on the pure sales :) Those are the fastest selling albums and best sellers of the year so far. Edited November 19, 20195 yr by Charis
November 19, 20195 yr Another nice review: https://lovelondonloveculture.com/2019/11/1...um-by-westlife/
November 19, 20195 yr i would be very surprised if it wasn't the fastest selling in Ireland it is their home country and usually they outsell everything there. They are one of the fastest sellings in the UK so in Ireland it should be a certain... However usually those midweek articles for irish charts are overoptimistic sometimes, I remember they said the same for Hello My Love, which was on course to be a No.1 for them.. Anyway: Should Spectrum continue its momentum, the album will be Westlife's 11th Number 1. 11 Irish #1 albums that is quite impressive - do we have the list for acts with most #1 albums there?
