Does that confirm she is uk number 1 today? Streaming worked well in her favour.

To be honest the album isn't all that. The three singles are great, but the album as a whole is too samey & cohesive for my liking. It is definitely no Teenage Dream. The 80's vibe has already been overdone to death in the last decade by everyone and their mother, and there is no Be the One or New Rules on this album.

 

Her debut album had fantastic gems such as Genesis, Garden, No Goodbyes, Begging, Bad Together & Homesick which were not even singles. She didn't stick to one genre, they were just great pop songs and very eclectic in style.

The 4k+ sales lead is encouraging, but I suppose anything could happen! 2 more hours to find out *.*

debuts at number 2 :cry:

On the positive side.

 

She’s out outpeaked her debut album and also I believe she’s had her highest ever weekly sales on the albums chart too.

 

Plus this album will have legs and stands a chance of climbing to #1.

 

She’s still had an incredible week. :heart:

Overall its all positive and i do think it will get number 1 at some point and possibly next week.

Of course #2 is nothing to be disappointed about.

 

Now let's hope her sales will stabilize for next week and manages to top the album charts!!

It is slightly disappointing considering our optimism about her getting the #1 was climbing all week and then for her to come SO close.

 

I'm not as confident as a lot seem to be that she will get the #1 next week. 34k was with her team pulling out all the stops to get big first week sales and the big streams for the first week, it's gonna drop quite a lot next week and idk if it'll be enough to beat All Time Low

I guess we just have to wait and see.

 

I think she did about 15k streams this week, and I feel like she still might do around 10k streams next week based on how big her 3 singles currently are...total of 13k-15k seems like might be doable on second week!!!

 

On the other side I am not familiar with All Time Low so I don't know how much they did sell in the past!!!

Okay so I tweeted official charts to investigate the album result but chickened out because I didn't want death threats from 5SOS fans. :lol: :lol: It's just so unlucky for her to be SO close having really fought for it. #2 is a great position but for the sheer quality of the album it deserves no less than #1 status lol. But on the positive side:

- assuming orders from Amazon might be dispatched over the next couple weeks, maybe that will boost her chances of climbing to the top.

- since she is planning a deluxe edition for later release, hopefully the stars will align then.

I still think she is in with a good chance of number 1 next week.

Everyone said that about this week though lol.

 

I think some people may have assumed she could beat 5SOS's week 1 sales with her week 2 sales before the first mids came out this week, so I'm not getting my hopes up until this time next week

Gutted that she didn’t get to #1 :( fingers crossed that it can climb there in a future week!

I'm a little pissed that Dua missed the #1 spot by 551 copies, but if it's considered that Future Nostalgia was brought forward a week, she and her team made a good work to handle this in my opinion. However, on the bright side, I expect the album to hold like her self-titled has done there and it might climb atop in the following weeks.

Yes number 1 in Ireland and Physical has a new peak at 2 and Break My heart entered at number 3

I think she's get that no.1 eventually, it's a shame though she was so close.

Different circumstances but many successful albums didn’t enter at #1 (or their peak) but climbed there.

 

Rihanna’s had a few albums what didn’t enter at their peak (A Girl Like Me, Rated R, Loud)

 

Gaga didn’t get a #1 debut with The Fame.

 

Duas own debut album whats never left the chart since release didn’t debut at its peak either.
