October 5, 20205 yr Oasis would have been Number 1 if they put it out last week. That would have been a great 25th anniversary for it. 2nd October was bang on 25 years exactly though, so I'm not surprised they released it this week.
October 5, 20205 yr Oasis would have been Number 1 if they put it out last week. That would have been a great 25th anniversary for it. Last week's #1 did 27k so not quite... (the week before that they would have got the #1 though). Actually I would expect they'll close the gap on Queen over the week, as Queen will have barely any streams while Oasis' album even being 25 years old still has pretty strong residual streaming figures every week, so I don't think it's impossible that they could still get the #1 this week anyway?
October 5, 20205 yr Quite a big gap to close no? not impossible but Oasis' streaming figures aren't exactly massive beyond a couple of songs
October 5, 20205 yr Of the 200 albums in the top 200 right now, Oasis currently have the 10th most streamed album of the week. Queen have the 165th most streamed.
October 5, 20205 yr I wish both Mel and Roisin could retain their current top 10 positions. What a bloodbath week though!
October 5, 20205 yr I think it's more likely Queen will stay at #1, just I wouldn't be that shocked if Oasis overtake them. Their streaming (and sales of the normal album excluding the specific vinyl re-release) will probably be higher than usual as well because of the hype about the anniversary. Aside: just seen on the OCC's article about the album chart that this will be Queen's first #1 album since 1995 if it stays there, did not realise it had been so long! You'd have thought some kind of compilation / re-release would have been popular enough to hit #1 in the mean time but the closest they got was #2 with the Greatest Hits I/II/III collection in 2000.
October 5, 20205 yr Yes, Oasis would need their pure sales to be less frontloaded than Queen's to take the #1 - their streams alone won't be enough to bridge the gap. The run of Divinely Uninspired in the albums Top 10 looks well and truly over at 72 weeks.
October 5, 20205 yr MGK holding on super well, he would be #2 if not the new entries / Oasis re-release
October 5, 20205 yr Ed Sheeran currently has no albums in the top 40...it must be a while since that has been the case?
October 5, 20205 yr Ed Sheeran currently has no albums in the top 40...it must be a while since that has been the case? The last time was right at the start of 2017 - but there's no way at least one of them won't be back in by Friday.
October 5, 20205 yr Whoah I thought Amanda was a cert for No.1 I thought Shania Twain might get in somewhere. Mel C doing better than expected.
October 5, 20205 yr I thought Amanda Holden would sell 20k plus Roisin Murphy will keep promoting and hope she stays top 10-15
October 5, 20205 yr Whilst I think Queen will get it they are certainly aware of the Oasis threat as they have started a competition to win signed items if you buy the album. Oasis still have stock of both their vinyls in store, the download is currently £4.99 too and just climbed into the iTunes Top 10 - there is a lot of press coverage surrounding its anniversary so whilst it’s front loaded from pre-orders I’m sure it will sell well all week.
October 5, 20205 yr A Christmas album in the top 40 in early October?? Dolly Parton in at #28 This must be the most reshuffled album chart since records began with all the new entries. New entries for veterans such as Queen. Oasis, Bon Jovi, Mel C, New Order, The Bangles, Mariah Carey, Dolly Parton, Robert Plant among others suggests its quite a struggle for newer artists. Was there some kind of Super Tuesday mass record release that triggered all these album releases the same week?
October 5, 20205 yr Only just noticed LANY up high at #16! Very impressive as their last albums here reached #81 and #90. It's also set to debut quite high (top 5 I believe) in America from predictions
October 5, 20205 yr Speaking of Ed Sheeran's albums, his manager has confirmed today that he's planning to release his next album this time next year!
