Ahh must be why mine is delayed too

Not sure what to expect from the midweeks today, what with potentially hundreds of orders not dispatched yet due to the Christmas card.

It hasn't even appeared in the midweeks!?!?

Bummer

Im totally shocked by this as it means its sold hardly anything as its less than 1k needed to show in the top 75 lower end at this point of the week.

I thought pre orders alone would make it chart decent today.

There was me initially thinking it might go top 10, how far off was I.

Well it's the case that a lot of orders haven't been dispatched yet so they won't be in the midweek data. The first 500 orders came with a bonus Christmas card, but there's been a delay with them.

Generally though, this release is more low-key than the album reissues. The vinyl is only available to order from their official store / Universal's online music stores (Recordstore / The Sound of Vinyl) - it's not available from HMV or Amazon.

My CD and vinyl arrived today. Not sure I needed the CD, the only new track is the remix, but I suppose I'm a completist and it's nice to have it with the proper title and tracklist. It was nice to hear the album again - it was forward thinking of them to cover Jingle Bell Rock 20 years before it became a belated staple here.

I see the date is written as 2024 on the back cover, and also the Spotify release date had 2024 on it, so guess it was delayed from last year.

Is there possibility that orders with cards might reflect on 21 November charting week?

I fear that Christmas Round at Ours may end up in minor categories.. They released sales flash but still nothing..

They’ve still not dispatched the orders with the Christmas cards… if they don’t today then those sales aren’t counting to this week :(

How ridiculous they have not dispatched, that was clearly a balls up somewhere!

Annoyed at how mishandled this has been!

Not sure if this is something Heart have done before but I've noticed they've got Jingle Bell Rock on rotation this year

#54 on the sales chart

Christmas card bundles delayed further, now 28th November... 🙄

This is even more of a botched release than Demi Lovato

sadly it didnt make in overall albums

Ya very badly handled and has led to a disappointing outcome but leaving the charts aside its nice for fans to have something.

CD/Vinyl/Christmas card order has finally shipped!

annnd received it, finally

The envelope for the Christmas card is a lot bigger than the card. I wonder if that was part of the problem, not being able to source an envelope that fits it? Who knows. Happy to have the CD/Vinyl now! The artwork looks fantastic on vinyl.
