Don't know if this has been mentioned yet but it appears Harry Styles' album debuted at #113 last week... Leaked copies from somewhere?

Rather oddly its entry was almost entirely because of streaming units, which really shouldn't have been the case when only 3 songs were available! It was new in at #42 in the streaming chart on Friday.

Stormzy got bit catch up to do on ladybaby

Links aren’t updated, curious to see where Camila went.

 

Also, Camila's album falls to #31 whilst Liam Payne is #59.

Have got extra day streaming for stormzy as that 1 day behind

LadBaby storming (pardon the pun) ahead of the pack again! Gonna be very tight on the albums as well I think, must only be a small handful of copies between Harry and Rod?

Kelly Clarkson coming for a new peak this week or next hopefully :wub:

I still want to know who allowed a Jessie J Christmas album to even happen in the first place.

How’s Harry’s Adore you doing??

Suprised Stormzy is not number 1 on the album charts I thought he would be a shoe in is he missing streams ?

53 between Harry and Rod

We are heading for yet another terrible Christmas Number 1.

The Christmas songs not fully giving their full kick just yet.

Exciting album chart.

The OCC news article today says Stormzy is beating LadBaby on streaming '3:1' - surely it should be significantly more than that?? (I suppose LadBaby might be pulling in similar plays on YouTube but the margin on Spotify is wayyyyy more than 3:1 and presumably the same on Apple Music too).

Yeah i dont think 3000:1 is quite as dramatic when you trying to sell a "close" race

That makes no sense. Stormzy had massive streams on Spotify and Apple Music. LadBaby’s is non existent!

 

I’m sure they just make a lot of this info up, most of the time it makes no sense.

 

Stormzy was too busy getting you all to vote Labour he forgot he had a new album out. Ho Ho Ho

Omfg love a good shock in the album chart. Didn't foresee the endurance of Aul Rod the Celtic loving legend.

 

Thought it would sell well for a week and perhaps fall away quickly enough. But he has done better than we all thought. It is quite symbolic of the times we live in that two of the biggest current artists release on the busiest week of the year and an album that's been out 3/4 weeks by a legend beats them both. Symbolises that even in Q4 cd sales only increase for the legendary acts and that's the people who buy cds now.
