Step Back In Time ended up at #16!

 

Only four of us actually posted to predict, and none of us gave a specific position:

 

Feel_The_Fever: Top 15

Jay: Top 20

Smiley Kylie: Top 20

slowdown73: Top 30

 

25 votes in the poll and 7 voted for Top 20!

 

 

Step Back in Time is out 2 weeks earlier... sales aren't quite as extreme, but still rather high. At this point we don't know what promotion will occur, so I have no idea what to predict for this either lol. Hard to say at the moment how high the demand for the 3CD version will be & how effective the promotion will be. Maybe low Top 20? Which would probably require a good 15,000. If the album can be revived to that extent I would be quite pleased, but again hopefully I'm being pessimistic and it does better than that.

It's transpired that sales are hugely down this week compared to the equivalent week last year! :o Kylie sold 6,640 to be #16. Those sales last year would have only been enough for #29. Last year's #20 album sold 13,618 (which is why I thought she'd need to sell 15,000 in order to be comfortably Top 20), but only 5,983 was needed this week.

 

 

Any more predictions for Golden Live?

 

Back in early October I only predicted low Top 40 for it. Last year's chart needed over 8,000 sales to be #35. Kiss Me Once Live only sold 3,821 copies in its first week of release, and I felt that Golden being able to more than double those sales would be good going, but result in a low peak. It seems this year's sales levels are going to be a lot worse than last year though, hmm. I'll revise my prediction to somewhere in the Top 20, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for Top 10!

Think it depends what promo she is going to do?

 

Strictly next weekend? (unlikely) The One Show? Lorraine Defo I reckon even if just a mention

 

Again it's not sodl hardly anything pre order on amazon but she has sold out of the deluxe on her website but how many ddi they make?

 

I would hope she gets similar 7-8k maybe more if its Xmas run up

 

 

Pretty sure all the Strictly placements have been announced.

If golden does aswell as sbit this week it would be great.

Just looking at the new releases this week and next week I think Kylie will do well to go top 20 with Golden Live.

 

Looks like she has no promo lined up until her Xmas show etc so i think she will struggle against some big sellers releasing and some that have already released and will consistently sell well.

Surely it will match the same sales at the least as sbit did this week?

Yeah maybe but who knows? It's a live Golden CD does anyone know or care about it outside her fan base? Surely casuals would go for Step Back more......

 

And only two versions,the deluxe sold out. I guess kylie fans will probably download on itunes too, but how many streaming points will it get? Probably not many....

 

Plus lots of artists Robbie, Rod, Codplay, Capaldi, Balletc etc she isn't going to go ahead of any of them etc, then the new releases from this week and the ones from next week with her......

 

Amazon she hasn't got higher than 44 on best sellers in its four weeks of pre orders. Hopefully people bought from her website but doubt it will be that many? Let's see.....

 

 

It's a fan only release, these style of releases rarely get casual sales. I do think it should get similar sales to sbit did this week as I'd say that was largely bought by the fans whom many already have the cd. I didn't buy the new 3cd edition (yet) but have golden live on pre order as I'm far more excited for it.

So we have

 

Golden Live Deluxe (sold out) maybe 1k UK sales?

Golden Live Standard maybe 500 pre ordered?

Itunes Golden Live

Spotify Golden Live

 

Do we think pre-orders around 1.5k? So hard to tell with her store selling most

 

I think to get top 20 next week will probably need close to 10k? Can't see her doing that..... But it is Xmas and the DVD maybe a bonus to this release especially to those who went to the concert, even casual fans

This release as we have mentioned is hard to predict as it is targeted at the Fans.
