Next week’s releases on the Amazon chart:

 

7 + 23 + 285. Queen

14. Bon Jovi

76 + 260. Amanda Holden

583 + 1,152 + 9,646. Melanie C

624. BLACKPINK

 

Website sales will be farrrrr more important for Melanie and BLACKPINK, scream at Amanda being so high :mellow: Top 20 would still be great I guess given Mel’s missed the top 50 before!

Totally agree, Mel would have been safely top 10 this week so its a shame she didnt release a week earlier, next week is far more competitive but hopefully she can get a top 10.

I don’t get why she didn’t look at competition and just move it forwards a week???

Nothing But Thieves will also be looking at a 15k+ opening, and there's also Sufjan Stevens' physical released and Slipknot's Corey Taylor is releasing his debut album

 

Just a week later and there's very few big releases!

It’ll be so typical if this ends up being a “would have been Top 10 a week earlier or a week later with these sales” scenario. Will try not to lose faith yet though. 6 days to go until the first set of midweeks 🤭

I am going to be SO gutted if it’s a would have been top 10 scenario! :cry:

We need to stream hard !!!

Doubt it will make much difference but I’m so going to!! Going to sign up for the free week or month premium on Spotify to get included higher in the streams too!

New interviews etc!

There are some really good reviews of the album out there, from NME to The Independent. Glad she got some love.

I'll read through these later!

 

40 minutes to go until its release in the UK/Ireland!

Will be excited for mondays midweeks.

Will the deluxe be available digitally?

It doesn't seem like it will be, all I see is the standard on Spotify/iTunes!

 

Happy release day guys :cheer:

Apparently Melanie has pre-recorded a live performance for The One Show!

I’m loving the album so far, it’s really solid as a package and sounds great. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the new tracks 🥰🥰🥰

 

I wish her the best of luck with it in the charts

I'll be buying my deluxe in store tomorrow, but I have realised I have no cd reader :( so I do hope the bonus tracks are released digitally or ripped by fans quite quickly)

I’ve downloaded it on both Spain and the UK 😛🙈

 

Can’t stop singing “I’m ready to chop my arm and, it will make me stomp her”.

Streaming for the first time now!! Exciteddddd.
