Nines aims high with Crabs In A Bucket album

 

The Official Charts Company Midweek Sales Flash is in and Nines is challenging Metallica and Gregory Porter at the UK albums chart summit.

 

Harlesden rapper Nines hit the Top 5 with his previous two albums One Foot Out and Crop Circle, and is aiming to go one better with Crabs In A Bucket, which has 7,098 sales so far, with Monday’s streaming data yet to be counted.

 

Metallica’s S&M2 is currently in pole position on 9,502 sales, followed by Gregory ...

 

 

and that's it. The mention of Monday streaming sales data being missing means that it is a Tuesday update.

 

 

 

I've added all Music Week sales to the update, check out the first page to see.

 

Only 92 copies separate Joel Corry and Cardi B! :o

thanks for the figures

much lower than I was expecting for Disclosure and Katy, wonder if they'll reach 10K...

 

for those with MW subscription, do you see the compilation charts too? is Club Nostalgia in there?

It doesn’t seem like there’s much missing data then as Head & Heart is up in numbers on last week’s Tuesdays mids. Wonder how it managed to overtake WAP from the first look then

Could it be that WAP is streamed more by people with a free account relative to H&H?

Even last week, WAP should have been #1 looking at the streaming data, she had already the same lead as this week

Think the same happened with The Box, his official streams were always lower than what Spotify showed

MW doesn't (or at least didn't) publish the midweek Compilation Albums chart and only published a top 20 end of week chart.

 

92 sales between WAP and Head & Heart for Tuesday. It's going to be close this week.

Cardi caught up significantly as last week went on, I'd expect she'll do the same by the end of the week again? Free/paid ratios shouldn't be affecting anything greatly. By the end of last week, Cardi was exactly 4500 premium audio streams ahead of Joel, and 3598 free audio streams behind Joel on free streams. That'd ultimately work out with Cardi 51 sales ahead if you convert both figures into their correct ratios (with download sales obviously swinging it in Joel's favour in the end).

 

I suppose Amazon must be making the difference right now, where Joel's ahead? :thinking:

Happy with Katy! Especially as her last hit from this album was well over a year ago now! :D

 

I'm hoping she can overtake Disclosure.

on Amazon streaming it's hard to tell cos WAP is #2

and Joel is #3 but has a second version at #21

 

Joel only seems to be clearly ahead on iTunes

 

on Spotify WAP is miles ahead now, >100K, which is a lot in terms of streams

Does Katy have a chance to go #3 at best? She's higher than Disclosure in every platform (iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon) so I feel like she will end up #4.

Any sign of Dj 4rain in the top 100?

I'm surprised and confused at where Discloure's sales are coming from tbh, they're lower on every platform than they seem.

Nada

Also Cardi is ahead on premium, free and video streams, it's the small difference in downloads that is pushing Joel so close. Upweighted streaming will work in her favour anyway.

Perhaps in-store like HMV or else their website?

 

That's really quite poor for BLACKPINK and Selena, really expected better!
