oh disappointed Dermot also added Giants to his old album, thought Giants was the lead for album 2 :(

^ Probably for the best, 'Giants' didn't exactly do well... hopefully he releases something better as the lead for album #2

I think these acts like Becky, Sigala, Jax Jones etc will fade away very soon anyway so this is their only chance to really have some success on album chart.

The Killers delaying the vinyl release is quite a clever tactic to keep the album in the upper reaches of the chart a while longer than they probably would have achieved otherwise. I won't buy the CD but I may buy the vinyl and in the mean time I'm streaming it. Well done, Island Records!

Maybelline adding every single song to her album is making a mockery out of an "album" concept most of all. Just shows how painfully little credibility she has as a musician and an artist. It's ALL about money and charts and promotion... to get more money :magic:

 

Meh.

 

EXACTLY! It's totally ridiculous.

 

I remember thinking that 'Boyfriend' thing was the lead off from album 2, but she's since added that and 48 others to this ''album'. :manson:

Where does it stop though? I mean it's fine to add whatever to whatever (who am I to tell them it's wrong~) but I won't call that an album. Compilation, greatest hits, everything including a kitchen sink.

 

Also you can make good sounding music on your iPhone these days so lack of money doesn't quite work as an excuse for me. As an example, iamamiwhoami also struggled big time but their music spoke for itself and they found bigger commercial success in the end after 3 whole albums.

 

Yeh true I agree with your points on the album. Mine was more a general point about her career overall.

Is Holiday still top 20?

rooting for Erasure to hold at #2, looks like they could do it, Pop Smoke seems to have deflated a bit on streams this week

I think they'll fall behind Taylor by the end of the week, although Top 3 would still be an amazing result for them!

Is Hallucinate out today then if Dance Monkey is back?

Afraid so

Afraid so

Hopefully it’ll get back in by the end of the week, when all the missing data is added.

BTS looking pretty safe for Top 5 then, with #3 not completely out of the question.

Only 2k for TK today... Really really frontloaded. Great numbers anyway.

Boo at H&H increasing its lead from WAP. The sooner H&H hits ACR, the better

Really thought WAP and Head and Heart would be neck and neck by now.

Blah blah blah

I was expecting also WAP and H&H to be very close with WAP slightly ahead, so this is surprising

 

but I've noticed with other urban songs like The Box that they get less streams than the Spotify numbers suggests

which I think means that more people stream them for free,

so might be the case for WAP vs Joel Corry, WAP might have a higher proportion of free streams than Joel

H&H should die out once Summer is over
