August 2, 20206 yr Has anyone established what's actually happened with Taylor Swift here? :unsure: She's dropped out of the top 20 - not sure there's anything more to establish...! Missing streaming could perhaps be working against cardigan being top 20.
August 2, 20206 yr Looks like all 3 Taylor Swift's singles have left the top 10 building, poor Sam :nocheer: I'm gutted but not too surprised :cry: they've been plummeting on streaming and iTunes all week (cardigan is about to be overtaken by f***ing Love Story on iTunes!!) I'm expecting for this week: cardigan ~22 exile ~31 the 1 ~40
August 2, 20206 yr Hopefully the Taylor streaming down gives Fontaines more of a chance in the albums!
August 2, 20206 yr Hopefully the Taylor streaming down gives Fontaines more of a chance in the albums! I'd lowkey be shocked at Tay being #1 this week (unless Fontaines underperform a lot more than we're projecting), hopefully she'll rebound next week though with the store sales shipping <3
August 2, 20206 yr I'd lowkey be shocked at Tay being #1 this week (unless Fontaines underperform a lot more than we're projecting), hopefully she'll rebound next week though with the store sales shipping <3 The thing is it's hard to tell how well Fontaines will do as they've blown up so much since last year, it'll definitely be higher than Sports Team though :lol: I love both albums so I'll be glad to see both get to #1
August 2, 20206 yr Genuinely quite sad that none of the Taylor tracks have stayed in the top-twenty. I like Cardigan but I love August a lot more (maybe that should have been the lead...) Also for the life of me I don’t underhand why Watermelon Sugar has never been discounted to 59p? Doing so would net the song a lot more sales and help Harry get his second UK number one.. Big meh from me this evening :/
August 2, 20206 yr Don't think Taylor's album is holding up well enough on streaming to be #1 again :/ think it will be Fontaines for certain and won't even be close
August 2, 20206 yr Also Folklore has been increased to £10.99 (from £8.99 last week) on iTunes.. Bit odd
August 2, 20206 yr Comparing the Spotify positions for Taylor's 3rd through 12th songs (the important ones for determining album streaming sales) with where Juice WRLD was at this stage in his second week (where he ended up selling 11.8k): Taylor: 35, 43, 48, 52, 68, 69, 74, 75, 79, 82 Juice: 26, 35, 38, 43, 77, 80, 83, 89, 96, 101 Given that Taylor will have significantly higher pure sales than Juice and her streaming numbers are looking similar if not slightly better than Juice's (I think she is doing similarly to or better than Juice was at this stage on Apple as well) I would say she's looking like maybe selling 15k second week? If that's right Fontaines D.C. will need to more than double their first week sales from their last album to beat her. Not impossible (especially if I am overestimating Taylor) but I still think it's more likely than not that Taylor will hang on. Will probably be closer than I originally thought though.
August 2, 20206 yr I hope becky hill and harry styles can hold them positions on friday. Watermelon sugar really has turned into a huge hit for harry.
August 2, 20206 yr She's dropped out of the top 20 - not sure there's anything more to establish...! Missing streaming could perhaps be working against cardigan being top 20. I was expecting them to hold steady, so that came as a bit of a shock to me and I thought they'd all been missed out by accident.
August 2, 20206 yr Not sure where to ask this but are Scottish sales counted twice, to the UK and Scottish charts, or just the Scottish charts?
August 2, 20206 yr Not sure where to ask this but are Scottish sales counted twice, to the UK and Scottish charts, or just the Scottish charts? They count to both!
August 2, 20206 yr I like Taylor’s album, but I’m not surprised that Cardigan has dived out of the top 10, it’s summer and good weather at the moment, no one is adding Cardigan to their summer playlists. Folklore is a more suited to Autumn/Winter.
August 2, 20206 yr I always take Sunday with a massive pinch of salt when it's only been 2 days and there's always a ton of data missing. Tomorrow's will portray a better picture of where Billie is going.
August 2, 20206 yr cos she's got the advantage of good downloads (the first look chart considers Fri & Sat downloads but only Fri streaming), she'll likely be out of the top five tomorrow.
