May 18, 20205 yr Ouch those album sales. I didn't know the Vapors were still together, talk about 80s Turning Japanese :D: rZru_TywyME It's actually 39 years since their last album, which is the 5th largest gap between studio albums of all time!
May 18, 20205 yr Not surprised that Gooba climbed, there is nothing new out this week anyway so even if its streams are significantly down, it'll stay pretty high in positions.
May 18, 20205 yr Katy calling this the lead single doesn't really matter, it's her seventh release in 18 months - of course Harleys and Never Worn White were promotional tracks anyway but 365, the Con Calma remix and Small Talk all made little impression. Never Really Over is the outlier and seemed to buck the downward trend she seemed to be on. That's before we consider the fact it's strongly rumoured that at least Never Really Over is on the album anyway, meaning Daisies isn't the lead. What Katy calls it doesn't actually matter. Daisies isn't smashing out the gate of course, but it's important to look at context. It's only just been added to Hot Hits UK, and its Spotify performance so far is similar to Small Talk - which had HH support in week 1! That also had instantly huge Capital support - Daisies is not playlisted on there or Radio 1 yet. It's doing just as well as her last proper single release despite lower support - it's really not so bad when you look at it that way and it's important not to just look and say "she's doing badly."
May 18, 20205 yr Additionally: Small Talk was #33 on Monday's midweeks, ended up at #43. Harleys was #41 on Monday, ended at #45.
May 18, 20205 yr Also Katy is sadly sliding down that chart, could be lucky to stay top-forty at this rate. I take that with a pinch of salt at the moment, take a look at Little Mix single for example, started off a bit sluggish, and now the track has got its mojo back :lol: its in 2nd gear. :P just thinking out loud, I might end up been wrong.
May 18, 20205 yr It's actually 39 years since their last album, which is the 5th largest gap between studio albums of all time! Blimey... that long :o Turning Japanese is a jem, I bought that on 7 inch vinyl, I used to play it to death. I just grab my anorak now :lol:
May 18, 20205 yr Good climbs for Breaking Me, Don’t Need Love and Kings & Queens is great to see Was really hoping for a better debut for Charli, I thought possibly top 10 officially never mind missing top 15 on first midweek
May 18, 20205 yr 6 Paradise Lost - Obsidian * *.* The lead guitarist of this band lives in my town, so I'm championing this to become their highest charting album!
May 18, 20205 yr I take that with a pinch of salt at the moment, take a look at Little Mix single for example, started off a bit sluggish, and now the track has got its mojo back :lol: its in 2nd gear. :P just thinking out loud, I might end up been wrong. Little Mix’s song is decent though.
May 18, 20205 yr I think Katy will stay top 40 tbh but this *could* perhaps not peak this week we’ll see though.
May 18, 20205 yr Don’t get me wrong, I would love for KP to debut high and smash sempiternally but it just seems that even with a very good song like Daisies the GP are not that keen.
May 18, 20205 yr Great to see Paradise Lost this high although I guess they won't stay there Goth metal is not my thing but these guys are from Halifax and 4 of them were at Crossley and Porter school at the same time as I was in the late 80s. I wonder if when they formed the band they really thought they would go on to be European megastars which I believe they are in Germany and Finland with a string of Top 10 albums there in a 32 year career I say well done them for being a successful British export over a long period
May 18, 20205 yr Album sales could be lower than last week but cant see it not been lewis or dua at number 1.
May 18, 20205 yr How is Charli not even top 10 when the sales are as low as they are? Christ. Really thought this would get there to make up for 'Charli' missing out :'(
May 18, 20205 yr 6ix9ine stabilising top ten? Charli not top then I'm albums? Katy flopping? Ed Sheeran and Lewis Capaldi back? Wow a lot of people need checking for Corona with their lack of taste :(
May 18, 20205 yr Regard and RAYE at No.39. :yahoo: GET READY LADIES! Yes!! :cheer: Sadly I wouldn't be surprised to see it slip back out however as it fell from the mids last week too. Interestingly we've got two >3 y/o songs getting manual resets towards the bottom end of the chart this week - they are 'Surrender' (Natalie Taylor) and 'Play Date' (Melanie Martinez). Dadi Freyr is also Top 100 at this stage.
