Posted August 10, 20195 yr So just imagine for LG6 We can only have one or the above. Which one would you go for? Imagine a #1 peak but with sales being on the low side. High sales (for this climate imagine higher than both ARTPOP and Joanne though) but no #1 peak and a slightly shorter chart run than ASIB. Or middling sales, a modest peak (not #1 but not like missing the top ten either) but with a long chart run ala The Fame. For me. I think I just want a mixture of high sales but longevity. A #1 peak would be a bonus but I’d take higher sales and longevity over a #1. EDIT: just want to make sure people are aware I’m referring to the UK charts here :) Edited August 10, 20195 yr by Jordan Lee
August 10, 20195 yr Yeah, I'd also take high sales and longevity over #01! I actually think that's what we'll get for LG6 too.
August 11, 20195 yr Longevity! But #1 is important in the US* where she has a phenomenal track record. In the UK it would be kinda like a bonus. *I can't see her not going #1 in the US though under regular circumstances. Edited August 11, 20195 yr by SKOB
August 11, 20195 yr UK : high sales, she needs to stabilise in the UK with another album selling 200k+ US : #1 peak so she can have the record as the female with most #1s this decade Edited August 11, 20195 yr by Mixxer
August 11, 20195 yr LG6 in the UK Single: Would love a long running top 10/15 single. Can’t see her getting another #1 single. Album: #1 with longevity would be nice and I can see that happening LG6 in the USA Single: I think a top 5 debut is reasonable. Otherwise, a long running top 20 would be nice Album: defo #1 please
August 11, 20195 yr I don't think she can get a top 5 DEBUT in the US with her single when PI reached "only" #15. Low top ten perhaps. But it's down to the competition in the end. And who knows, after Sucker storming to #1 anything is possible
August 11, 20195 yr I think he meant that a #1 isn’t everything! This! BTW really sapped her no.1 pulling power anyway. But look at Beyonce, who flopped at the same rime, but built her self back up with ... BEYONCED NO-HYPE ALBUMS! She hasn't had a no.1 since then, but has had solid sales across all her albums. That's what's important. She's literally more relevant than ever now through doing that.
