September 3, 20213 yr Really like the new song - I’m surprised with how the album has performed considering he’s achieved hit after hit this era, it’s chart run so far is similar to that of his debut, the newly released expanded version should return it to the charts though.

To be fair, it's not really achieving hit after hit when it's only the fourth single + a bonus track that made the top 10! But it's fantastic for him anyway
September 3, 20213 yr To be fair, it's not really achieving hit after hit when it's only the fourth single + a bonus track that made the top 10! But it's fantastic for him anyway But 3 Top 10 hits this era, mass promo/exposure versus the first album where the biggest single reached #82 I just expected the album to hang around a bit more than 9 weeks in the Top 100 when his debut managed double that. As I said hopefully the expanded edition will restore it to the charts and help it sell through Q4.
September 3, 20213 yr It's only 2 top 10 hits, 'By Your Side' isn't on the album. The album having exactly 2 songs that are orders of magnitude more popular than everything else means that it still doesn't generate particularly large streaming units per week because the top 2 songs have their numbers weighted down for that exact reason - it's clearly not an album that people are very invested in as a whole. Looking at his current top 10 songs on Spotify, 5 of them are different versions of 'By Your Side', 1 is an alternate version of 'Little Bit Of Love' and 1 is a song from his previous album, which leaves the only other track from his actual current album as 'This Is The Place' sneaking in 8th. Most of the album tracks have still not even reached 1 million streams in total on Spotify!
September 27, 20213 yr Anyone been to the tour? J am going Ally Pally was wondering what time he comes on stage?
September 27, 20213 yr (wow I was just about to post in this thread, funny it's been bumped just minutes before when the last post before that was over 3 weeks ago) I've noticed since my last post that 'By Your Side' was actually tagged onto the album for its re-release and as if by magic it's now been in the top 40 for the few weeks since then. Really highlights how big the difference between an album with 2 hits and an album with 3 hits is under the current OCC rules. If only Måneskin had tagged 'Beggin'' onto their album. In other news actually pleasantly surprised at how much I am liking 'Don't Break The Heart', easily the best song I have heard from him to date - seems to be rising quite quickly on Apple Music at the moment so I'd be here for it giving him another hit.
September 27, 20213 yr Its good to see the album picking up more sales from the re release, i hope he can get further hits from the album.
September 27, 20213 yr I think he’s performing on Strictly on Sunday, so should mean Don’t Break the Heart should get a boost… Although I guess it depends what he performs :D
September 27, 20213 yr Its good to see the album picking up more sales from the re release, i hope he can get further hits from the album. My point is that the album returning to the charts is almost certainly not (primarily) because of a genuine increase in its sales/streams, it's mostly just because of 'By Your Side' being tagged onto it meaning its streams now count towards the album's weekly totals.
