no one outside of their fanbase will be buying it.

 

 

I can’t wait for Taylor to trounce them in the charts this week!

Whatever happens it'll be amusing that her team felt threatened by an independent Irish punk band on their second album lol

I agree WhoO!

I mean, it's Taylor's 2nd week, it's not like they'd have been anywhere near beating her first week.

Is it actually only the UK where they're releasing the CD early? Lol ~

It seems to be more places now, I’ve seen quite a lot on twitter of people buying the album from stores in the US yesterday

All you flaking waters who didnt want Fontaines to be #1 suck my dice

 

Taylor Swift didn't funking deserve it again,, PATHETIC just like all you D.C. haters!!!

I think there situation is different in UK-US cos in the US all the pre-orders for CDs, vinyls, cassettes from her website came with a download

so they already counted for week 1 even if shipped later

but in the Uk, chart rules are different and only count when shipped, so I guess they're counting now

This weeks now reminding me of Gaga vs Sports Team

 

A band with a loyal but small by compassion fan base and a massive international female stars second week.

Sports Team themselves were a lot more involved than Fontaines were IIRC, all they’ve done is retweet the Clash article and haven’t mentioned the price reduction on any of their socials.

Yeah Sports Team are gloriously shameless :lol: the fact Fontaines are of course not from the UK probably plays a part as well

Have Taylor's physicals not been added yet then?

 

Good to see Creeper should be able to stay top 5

With 5K lead it's not like she's gonna get number 1 anyway...

CDs have not been added yet...surely.

With the biggest jump being from Tuesday to Wednesday, I think they might have already been added?

2.3k physicals are showing for Taylor, whether that's all of them or not remains to be seen.

oops

Still...not a bad second week for her regardless. Hopefully No1 next week.

It'll be interesting to see how Glass Animals do next week - they've grown quite a lot since their last album in 2016!
