So Sam added slightly more yesterday to their total but Ariana has a days worth of streams missing (where apparently she’s doing 4x what Sam is doing) and her own stores sales still to come.

 

Hopefully she’ll do it. I wonder if Thursday will be her biggest day!

Overall, this is a beautiful album and I wouldn’t really have it any other way. It’s nice to have a break from the full on pop songs tbh!

I was under the impression that nothing was being reported from her store yet but Jay posted a break-down of today's figure and that included over 1000 cassettes? Surely they must be from her store? :thinking: could it be that some people are receiving theirs but not others? definitely no word at all on my cassette or CD yet!

I got an email 10 mins ago telling me my order had been dispatched :cheer:

Yay! :cheer:

 

I've just realised that the t-shirt I ordered along with the CD and cassette doesn't ship until December so I might have accidentally chosen the option that ships them all together at that later time :drama: so I've decided to order the other two CDs so I can collect all three and actually contribute something much sooner than that :lol:

My cassette's just been dispatched as well!

 

'West Side' is incredible...what the f***? The feels. Only 'Off The Table' I'm not liking.

And my order has just arrived.

 

Hopefully with the orders now being shipped it’s fine enough to clinch the #1.

Today could be her biggest sales day (or maybes second biggest after the release day) I can definitely see her adding around 10k worth of sales now from her store and yesterday and today’s streams and downloads.

 

That would be great! Can't wait to see the final tally.

 

'positions' (song) is holding on so well at #1 on Spotify - intrigued to see if it could actually stretch its #1 reign to 3+ weeks.

 

'34+35' now down to #11 (please still scrape top 10 officially!), motive #18 and pov #40

1 Ariana Grande - positions (39.1k)

9 Ariana Grande - 34+35 *

16 Ariana Grande & Doja Cat - motive *

 

ALBUMS

1 Ariana Grande - positions (23.3k) *

3 Cliff Richard - Music... The Air That I Breathe (16.4k) *

 

She's extended her lead at #1 in both singles and albums again so looks like that chart double could very much be hers :heart:

 

'34+35' has dropped a place - fingers crossed that it stays at #9 as she's already had 3 #8 peaks, plus #10, but never #9 here!

I’m already extending my holy trinity of Ari albums (DW, Sweetener and TU,N in that order) to become a holy quadruplity :cheeseblock: POV is so precious, I want it as my wedding song :cry:

:heart: a week later and I definitely feel content with the album too - it just keeps getting better and better. Love that 'pov' is generally branded as a highlight amongst fans. I don't really know anything about TikTok but apparently they're latching on to both 'pov' and 'just like magic' on there!

 

Chart day :o

just like magic <3 my most recent obsession from the album

Some of the TikToks to the Positions single are hilarious, check the cat one out *.*

I am enjoying this album a lot more than I did on first listen. It is definitely a sound that I don't enjoy as much but there are some good songs on it and it's quite easy to listen to.

I agree that it's an easy listen. I think the short durations for most of the tracks make me want to hit replay after it's done.

Ooh 'positions' on there too :lol: thanks for the heads up, will do when I'm done working for the day!

 

Spotify update is in and 'pov' has actually climbed :o maybe TikTok effect then?
