September 22, 20204 yr Performances! @1308489624940089346 @1308486174344962049 @1308496857329471490 The good sis ate! Edited September 22, 20204 yr by Tafty
September 22, 20204 yr Author Edited to embed the codes for you! :D -- She was also on Kelly's TV show today and seeing her swoon over Kelly and Kelly's reaction is adorable.
September 23, 20204 yr Author We need to keep streaming as well! It would be so joyous to see her do it. Like what was the last debut pop album from an international female to debut at #1.BTW, Bre has answered this... Debut albums by international artists don't get #1 in the UK very often full stop, these are the only ones since 2010 (excluding one-off soundtrack albums like Les Misérables/The Greatest Showman etc. obvz): 2010 Glee Cast - Glee: The Music, Volume 1 (lol) 2010 Brandon Flowers - Flamingo 2011 Bruno Mars - Doo-Wops & Hooligans 2012 Lana Del Rey - Born To Die 2012 Jack White - Blunderbuss 2013 HAIM - Days Are Gone 2015 Meghan Trainor - Title 2019 Billie Eilish - WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? 2019 Dermot Kennedy - Without Fear Interesting that no one seemed to notice last year when Dermot had the first #1 international male debut for an even longer period of time :thinking: xx In fact Dermot was one of only two in the entire decade if you exclude Brandon Flowers and Jack White for having had substantial careers as members of groups before their debut solo albums. (in my first time checking through this list I forgot that Dermot Kennedy is international - does Irish really count?? xox - and was about to make the ultimate 'well ACTUALLY' move of the century in pointing out that Pop Smoke would get the first international male #1 debut album since 2012 if he got there this week, alas not quite the case :kink:)So yeah, it was as recent as Billie one year ago aha. But that depends if you include EP's or not (Billie's released a CD & vinyl release tbf) But yeah it still doesn't happen all that often.
September 23, 20204 yr Decided to check this out as a fun pop album sounded like a good way to start the day! Most of the album tracks are varying shades of solid with room to grow further except 'Belladonna' which caught my attention a lot more - I did think I'd be lured in a bit more by the dark side :wub: 'OMG What's Happening' is getting more infectious with each listen. This was also a reminder of how great 'Torn' is after not hearing it in a while. Is this available on vinyl at all? I'd be happy to help out its first week sales if so but I can't seem to find one.
September 23, 20204 yr No vinyl yet :( Apparently there’s one coming out though. Omg stan Belladonna, that’s one of the tracks where the hell concept actually jumps out and it’s so good :wub:
September 23, 20204 yr Her Album appeared at 3 on Amazon CD chart today from previously not charting. So the £4.99 reduction is definitely having an impact.

I like/love everything. Amazing.
September 23, 20204 yr I know I've said it before, but what the phuck possessed them to release 'Who's Laughing Now' when they had 'Born To The Night' right there?! I'd also like to see if 'Torn' instead of 'So Am I' would have worked out differently/better.
September 23, 20204 yr It should have gone; 01 Sweet But Psycho 02 Kings & Queens 03 Torn 04 Born To The Night / Album Release 05 Naked
September 23, 20204 yr I would have perhaps said 'Kings & Queens' second, but I'm under the impression it may not have existed at that point?
September 23, 20204 yr What a strong album! 1. Sweet But Psycho 2. Torn 3. Belladonna 4. Kings & Queens 5. Salt 6. Born To The Night 7. Naked 8. Who’s Laughing Now 9. Take You To Hell 10. Call Me Tonight 11. Rumors 12. OMG What’s Happening 13. Tattoo 14. So Am I
September 23, 20204 yr Judging by the midweeks, it seems likely that Heaven & Hell will end up charting no lower than #2 in the UK! Pop Smoke still seems set to overtake by Friday, due to significantly stronger streaming. Ava should exceed 8.5k (kind of difficult to predict though, because there's a chance that her official store hasn't given all of their CD/Cassette sales data so far to OCC yet... sometimes official stores can be late to do that). Pop Smoke on course to do 9k+. Today's mids: #1 Ava Max - Heaven & Hell Total so far: 6,397 (+903 since yesterday's mids) Physicals: 3,495 (+347) [54.64%] Downloads: 1,286 (+162) [20.10%] Streaming: 1,616 (+394) [25.26%] #3 Pop Smoke - Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon Total so far: 5,548 (+1437 since yesterday's mids) Physicals: 100 (+27) [1.80%] Downloads: 143 (+27) [2.58%] Streaming: 5,305 (+1383) [95.62%] A bit of a shame that Pop Smoke's streaming is drowning out Ava's pure sales. I received a mailer about Pop Smoke, Universal is making a push for #1: Will Pop Smoke be no.1 album this week? After 11 weeks in the Top 10 in the UK album charts, Pop Smoke ‘Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon could be #1 this week. Keep streaming, downloading & sharing. Streaming counts until midnight tonight, Official Store until 3pm tomorrow, and after that only Itunes until midnight. (then it has various purchase/streaming links)^ Interesting that they're so specific about when streaming and official store sales count, timewise! Not sure if Ava's label (Warner) have done anything similar, I've not received anything though.

September 23, 20204 yr I’m still surprised this album isn’t selling better. It contains several singles of which two were very successful!
September 23, 20204 yr Author Thursdays data is averaged based on the week's numbers, I think. So everything that was streamed Friday-Wednesday will get averaged or something to count as Thursday's sales. I honestly don't know why they can't just make streaming's numbers be Thurs - Wed, but they seem to insist on having that other rule instead :drama:
September 23, 20204 yr Wait if streaming only counts until midnight tonight, surely Ava will win? I think it probably means Pop Smoke's label are aware of the reporting glitch for Thursday's streams, and that on this day they're upweighted/guesstimated.
September 23, 20204 yr I think it probably means Pop Smoke's label are aware of the reporting glitch for Thursday's streams, and that on this day they're upweighted/guesstimated. It is interesting to see a record label actually acknowledging this (I'm sure they've been well aware of it for as long as it's been an issue but I don't recall ever seeing it being explicitly mentioned like this before).
