didn't realise Grace is back, that is very messy indeed, it's a bit like a lottery to see which random album tracks chart

 

Well they are all singles in this case :P

The sooner SYL hits ACR, the better. They should change the rules so that songs cannot avoid ACR more than three times

I expected better for Avicii :(

 

Me too. I thought he’d be #2 pretty comfortably!

I was hoping Avicii would be challenging for the top spot! Surely it’ll get a boost when streams are added in?

Sales are in. Although apparently Stormzy has sold less than Billie despite being a place higher.

 

I reckon that could be a 5, instead of 2 if that person used the numeric pad. :unsure:

 

even if he goes back to#1, Lil Nas X could hit ACR, sales are lower than last week and would be his 3rd week in a row declining... think it will be the 3rd week declining for SLY and Meduza too

Should do but MoStack will benefit even more and he’s too far behind Jonas Bros.

Hopefully he can overtake Divine Comedy and remain at 5 (as Billie I expect will overtake him by then).

At least Tim is set to debut higher than Stories anyhow.

You’d be right except Meduza are on ACR this week (down to 18)

It is disappointingly low. Didn't see the physical in Asda yesterday. Is it out on physical yet?

 

Great to see LG inn the Top 10 even if he is in for a fall and also Sigala and Becky climbing into the Top 20!

 

It is indeed, but the supermarkets don’t seem to be stocking it. I bought it yesterday in my local HMV (Bromley, one of only two stores left in the whole of London) and they were stocking only two copies of it. I was expecting it to be in much higher demand.

Could the fact Avicii's album was released on Thursday at 4pm be a big thing affecting it here? Wouldn't have all the pre-orders have gone into last week instead, as well as all the sales it would have accumulated when it was released before midnight on Friday?

Disappointed for the Avicii result so far, as its looking likely to make a low Top 10 entry at the highest now.

Wonderful to see Take That in the Top 20, didn't foresee that for this week although its likely it will end the week Top 25 at highest.

but then it would have charted last week and it didn't

you only need 1000 copies to go top 100 most weeks

I think the pre-orders still count to this week. It was only #54 on the album sales chart last week which seems too low to be including pre-orders, unless it barely had any.

Thought the Spice Girls would be safely Top 20 this week.

I do hope they can improve on the current Number 28 position.

No I like it the way it is now. The songs that last longer than the usual 10 weeks most consistently are the biggest hits.

 

And at any rate SYL is the years biggest hit.

If it's just iTunes (etc) pre-orders then that's probably believable. It was #15 on the digital album sales chart which seems fairly reasonable for 1 day of sales.

I mean, it's totally arbitrary for the most part. "SICKO MODE" & "Lost Without You" have been similarly sized hits but one spent 10 weeks in the top 40 and the other spent 26 weeks in the top 40 because of OCC rules.

Brilliant for The Divine Comedy! He has only 3 top ten albums before this and now heading top 5/7!

Nice jump for Take that.

Great longevity for Take That!

Jonas Brothers possibly challenging for #1 album? Who would have thought their comeback would be so well received, I'm very tempted to go buy a copy of the album this week I love the two singles (again never thought I'd be interested in a Jonas Brothers album lol)
