I don't think being the first song on this album is that much of an advantage, as I posted elsewhere this seems more like the sort of thing where people will cherrypick the songs that seem more interesting to them rather than listening to the whole album all the way through. It should get a boost obviously but if it wasn't doing anywhere near 1m when it was first released it won't be now either.

 

(And even on his last album the first song on the album was one of the least successful songs :lol:)

 

If this album does actually fail to outsell Lewis Capaldi that'll be kind of surprising but I agree the real 'test' will be Ed's next proper album, this project is fundamentally different to his others and can't really be directly compared imo.

but Beautiful People is also track #1 on HH + track #1 on Todays Top Hits

it's virtually impossible to get more playlist support

That's been the case more or less ever since it was released...

The track 1 thing generally has a bigger impact when track 1 *isn't* a pre-released single too. imagine was not Ariana's best-performing thank u, next album track on release week by any means, it was actually one of the lowest as I assume people skipped the track they already knew. needy, the first new song (and track 2 overall) was the best performing album track. That puts South of the Border in a good spot perhaps?

Mint Royale on twitter

Yes, but Capaldi had 50% more sales at the same stage, so you’d expect the streams to be in a similar proportion when hey come in. Obviously Sheeran will do better worldwide, but in the UK Capaldi is maybe now the premier troubadour

^does anyone remember Lewis Saturday sales?

If South of the Border was on NMF it might have done.

I'm not sure why people are listening to the Mint royal guy, he deliberately seems to ignore details of the mids to get more attention.

I thought he quitted doing these sales tweets a while ago?

Yes, 2 people posted the same thing the page before

it's a different post from Minty you silly, here he specifically says Lewis did 50% more, so if we knew how Lewis did, we can calculate Ed's figures for yesterday

Omg rekt

Interestingly the highest album track on Apple is actually the Stormzy collab (track 4 on the album and seemingly not getting much of a push in itself) although probably take that with a pinch of salt as UK rappers always seem to do better on Apple than Spotify for whatever reason (see MIST/Fredo going top 3 on Apple last week). The Travis Scott song is only 4th highest (7th highest including the singles) and behind the Eminem/50 Cent track even though it's both before it on the tracklist and actually being pushed as a single with a music video and all. Will probably do better on Spotify given it's #1 on New Music Friday but it's tough to predict what order the top 3 or 4 album tracks are going to be. I'm getting the feeling that none of the album tracks are going to do well enough to overtake the actual singles on the overall chart this week though, unless 'I Don't Care' is really destroyed by ACR.

Well the update is in and he actually does have 9 of the top 10 (I didn't actually expect that to happen) so I expect great essays about how hard he's flopping any moment now!

 

1 Beautiful People (feat. Khalid) (779k, major flop)

2 Take Me Back To London (feat. Stormzy) (646k, perhaps this will make the official chart then x)

3 I Don't Care (w/ Justin Bieber) (637k)

4 Remember The Name (feat. Eminem and 50 Cent) (620k)

5 Antisocial (w/ Travis Scott) (585k)

6 Cross Me (feat. Chance The Rapper and PnB Rock) (577k)

7 Señorita (575k)

8 South Of The Border (feat. Camila Cabello and Cardi B) (513k)

9 Feels (feat. Young Thug and J Hus) (467k)

10 Best Part Of Me (feat. YEBBA) (409k)

 

11 Put It All On Me (feat. Ella Mai) (403k)

14 Nothing On You (feat. Paulo Londra and Dave) (371k)

15 1000 Nights (feat. Meek Mill and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie) (355k)

19 I Don't Want Your Money (feat. H.E.R.) (301k)

21 Way To Break My Heart (feat. Skrillex) (299k)

26 BLOW (w/ Chris Stapleton and Bruno Mars) (281k)

 

He has 10 of the top 11 on Apple now as well ('Señorita' at #9), with 'Take Me Back To London' now up to #3 ahead of 'Cross Me'.

Lmao what a flop :lol:

 

Ed's career is over!!!

It could be interesting battle between BP and Senorita!

So Ed does indeed grab nine of the top ten! Impressive.

 

Yet it must immediately be declared a flop because Beautiful People only did 778k.

The bad guy remix is also charting separately now. Combined Bille is at #5

Bad Guy almost 600k combined! :o

The bad guy remix is also charting separately now. Combined Bille is at #5

 

Oh yes, good catch. How strange that it was combined for only one day. Ed really only having 8 of the top 10 then, even more of a flop!!! (And for that matter 'Old Town Road' is probably also still top 10 combined as well, the 2 versions in the top 200 are on 420k combined but I presume the Young Thug/Mason Ramsey remix is a separate entry which has just not made the top 200).

 

Think 'Beautiful People' should be able to nab at least a week at #1 now then unless these numbers die off really hard, but I could see 'Señorita' getting back ahead pretty soon regardless.
