That doesn't help but online sales will trickle along.

I doubt many supermarkets will restock the release when they sell out of any existing stock they may have.

 

Did it stay top 200 this week?

To be honest, I'm not even really bothered about what it does chartwise in the top 200 from here on out. It did what it was supposed to do as far as I'm concerned, and will keep ticking over.

 

Exactly, I see this more of a catalog release intended to "sell" over time via streaming. Everything else around it was merely a bonus as far as I'm concerned.

Did it stay top 200 this week?

It held on, it's #196! 842 sales this week, total sales: 107,406.

Prob looking close to 500 sales this coming week but least it's got another week top 200.

With time Step Back in Time will outsell Kylie Christmas and Golden.

Absolutely this - it reached #1, celebrated Kylie to coincide with Glastonbury, been certified Gold and stayed around for a decent amount of weeks, I’m 100% sure that it will appear in the charts from time to time and respond to promo as well as being a consistent seller and being available all the time which is what she was missing prior to this release.

I strongly believe it will make multiple chart appearances in time ahead.

Positive news....

This is a welcoming surprise. It will keep her above 500 sales for this week.

Down to mid #194 yesterday, so it's looking a bit touch and go now. I could see it doing over 800 sales this week but missing the Top 200, hmm.

It would be nice to stay top 200 but dont think it will, 800 sales is good for where it is though.

It looks likely that Step Back in Time will have a lower chart position this week but higher sales.

 

Its a good outcome for sales based on the position.

As we said previously, if Kylie can keep going at 500 a week for a few weeks it will be good for building sales of the album.

Did it stay top 200 in the end?

Music Week has given total sales (108,218) for Step Back in Time up to the w/e 13th February. This was the week it fell out the Top 200, so we can work out that it sold 812 copies in that week, which was 44 copies short from the Top 200.

Its great that its still easily clearing over 500 a week.

 

Let’s hope it can at least manage an average of 500 per week through the year.
