So Coldplay's eighth studio album 'everyday Life' is out this Friday (22nd November). It's a double album and is more experimental according to the band.

 

What do you think the first week sales will be? Their last album 'A Head Full Of Dreams' had a first week tally of 235,975 in December 2015, meanwhile 'Ghost Stories opened with 168,048 in May 2014.

 

I don't think there's been as much hype for this album. 'Orphans' hasn't exactly set the charts on fire, but they do have a big following and a good fanbase so I'm going to say 125-150k.

It's up against Robbie's Christmas album and a Rod Stewart philharmonic GH collection also out Friday.

 

 

50-75k. Won't be as big as Westlife's sales.

Edited November 18, 20195 yr by common sense

I think around 75k as the Xmas shoppers will be buying by then.

 

 

Wonder if Robbie will be no1. No hype for this.

Am wondering too if Robbie can beat Coldplay.

i think 45k sounds more reasonable, sales are down 75% from 2015 and besides the lead single was a flop, so i dont think it will sell more than 50k...

Around 80K.

 

I agree on the no hype compared to their other albums but I feel they should still manage #1. I think streaming will be higher for them than it will be for Robbie. I don’t think Robbies album will peak sales wise this week too with it being a Christmas album.

I'd say minimum 100K, even Liam Gallagher managed that, sure Coldplay are still the biggest band in the world right now

Cant see Robbie doing more than 40-50k for an Xmas album but you never know.

 

he starts his promo on Radio 2 with Zoe Ball on Friday

 

I think it will be

 

1 Coldplay

2 Robbie

3 Rod

 

14 Kylie? She has promo on G Norton but this 3 CD special edition may not sell that much this time around. Would love her to get higher!

87k.

Anything above 100k is a victory for them so voted 100-125k

Went for 50-75k don't know the album sales these days!!

I'd be pretty disappointed if they didn't manage to do 100k like the majority of people seem to be predicting, I know they don't have a really big hit single but a new Coldplay album is still a pretty big deal.

As Coldplay fan, I’m predicting 100-125k

 

Disappointed lead single success

 

But it’s first Coldplay album in 4 years. So we have chance, Everyday Life is most anticipated album of 2019

I’m guessing around 80k

75k.

I think it'll do similarly to the album with Charlie Brown, the one that flopped and was beaten by Florence and The Machine's Ceremonials.

It debuted at #1, Ceremonials was released a week later.

Oh. Well the same as that then, slightly lower sales than it, with 1 week at the top.

Their last album 'A Head Full Of Dreams' had a first week tally of 235,975 in December 2015, meanwhile 'Ghost Stories opened with 168,048 in May 2014.

And yet two people have still voted for >250k. Are they having a laugh?

 

I went for 75-100k.
