June 26, 20196 yr Hoping Will’s chat and performance on Loose Women will add a few more sales. Fantastic stripped back performance of My Love. He’s now on Preston Live tonight which looks to have been arranged while at the ITV studios today and he’s co presenting the Breakfast Show on Magic fm tomorrow & Friday. Would be delighted if he could hold onto the top spot, making it 5 number 1 albums but he looks good for #2 and will mean all his studio albums have debuted in the top 2. Quite an achievement, considering his route into the business, 17 years into his career with lengthy gaps between albums. Edited June 26, 20196 yr by truly talented

Quite an achievement, considering his route into the business, 17 years into his career with lengthy gaps between albums. Completely agree. If he reduces the album to £7.99 on Amazon I think it'll help loads, even putting £0.59 for My Love on iTunes will help get more exposure. Loose Women helped - now No.2 on Amazon CDs sales ranks (been No.3 all week), No.1 on MP3 Downloads on Amazon. Still maintaining a iTunes No.1 album and My Love has shot up nearly twenty places on yesterday to 36 thanks to the performance earlier.
June 26, 20196 yr Is this how you workout the album DNS? So let's say Will Young is easy as his album only came out this week so all streams are counting for this week apart from the two singles which would be neutralised to the average of the other 10. It's handy as they say the most popular 12 songs off the album count, well that's perfect as 'Lexicon' only has 12 songs. So...JUST ON SPOTIFY All The Songs 1,050,300 NEUTRALISED to 22,401 My Love 183,812 NEUTRALISED to 22,401 Scars 25,213 Get Me Dancing 22,953 Ground Running 49,064 Dreaming Big 21,160 I Bet You Call 19,214 Forever 21,800 Freedom 17,137 Faithless Love 16,158 Say Anything 15,559 The Way We Were 15,753 Total no. of streams - 224,011 Average no. of streams of the 12 most popular songs excluding the most popular two (the singles): 22,401 So, The new total no. of streams would be (add them all up) 268,813 so as 1000 streams = 1 sale that would mean 268 streaming points? I've wanted to try calculating this for ages but I never found an album I cared to bother for, until now... Edited June 26, 20196 yr by sajjadali
June 26, 20196 yr Is this how you workout the album DNS? No, no. no. As we all know now (thanks to a whistle blower) the OCC chuck a load of bingo balls in a washing machine and draw one out for each album.
June 26, 20196 yr Will Young is losing the grip on pole position, i really want him to hold at the top. Mark Ronson should easily take the 4th position.
June 26, 20196 yr Never been a massive Will Young fan bar Who am I......however I have just bought a physical album (first in 6 mo ths) due to this being a bloody masterpiece. Flawless.
June 26, 20196 yr It's not his fault he's #1, people are streaming and downloading it :P Edited June 26, 20196 yr by WhoOdyssey
June 26, 20196 yr The Beatles' '1' back in the top 40 again I see! I anticipate that and the 'Yesterday' soundtrack will be top 10 next week :D

So let's say Will Young is easy as his album only came out this week so all streams are counting for this week apart from the two singles which would be neutralised to the average of the other 10. It's handy as they say the most popular 12 songs off the album count, well that's perfect as 'Lexicon' only has 12 songs. but you're using worldwide data, not uk data, even if his fanbase is mainly UK, it's not 100%, I've streamed the album myself and Im not in the Uk, so you shouldn't count me :o but yes the calculation is correct, I've done it myself a few times for other artists that have all songs in the Spotify top 200, then to get the final figure I assume that Spotify is half the market so I multiply x 2, and it usually works
June 26, 20196 yr Whoah I just started having to figure out the whole Lewis Capaldi streaming on Spotify...on UK Top 200 ONLY. So his most popular songs (the singles) I won't count as they get neutralised but the other album tracks which are IN the UK Top 200 are Bruises 159,560 and Grace 146,190 So, As an average lets assume the rest are just under these, 120,000-140,000 on average per day. So 130,000 per song x 10 songs = 1.3 million + 260,000 for the two singles (neutralised) and you have almost 1.5 million streams per day! Even if that figure is wrong he's getting about 1 million streams a day which is believe giving him at least 1000 streaming points PER day. This is just his UK data! Globally, it'd be much more! So he gets in addition some CD sales too...say 400-800 and hence you have a situation where he beats the new release steadily through the week. I don't think Will can even begin to compete on streaming with those figures...So he's in line to keep selling about 1.2k-1.6k a day for the remaining days and Will's best selling days he'd need to at least match that or sell just under to compete...The lead Will has is 1.6k on him at the moment. So there are TWO more days left (Wednesday and Thursday) if Will needs to sell at least 1,000 copies per day to properly stand a chance at getting that No.1, and even then it'll be a close one. I think Will will sell about 15,000. Lewis might add up to 17,000, sadly. But he's done some promoting today. Shame about those cancelled signings but if only 20 people are attending then I can see why they were cancelled...He's doing well No.2 on Amazon now (up from 3), My Love upto No.36 on iTunes, album still No.1 on iTunes, No.1/2 on Digital albums on Amazon. Keep buying and streaming LEXICON and get WY this no.1! ^_^ Edited June 26, 20196 yr by sajjadali
