The UK’s best-seller of the week so far in terms of pure sales, Cliff Richard’s 41st studio album Music… The Air That I Breathe opens at Number 3, and is in line to become Sir Cliff’s 46th Top 10 album.

 

Cliff needs more fans to stream his music.

Why everyone is so shocked? she's flopping in he US also with this one and her streaming numbers are going really down (especially on today, the 3rd day WW) so... yes it's her not-so-successful-era and everyone has that, hopefully she'll make better music next.

Without sounding too premature, it’s safe to say that the Positions era is a slight underperformance in comparison to Thank U, Next.

I doubt many of Cliff's fans even know what streaming is tbh.

That's why there should be an LP version. :)

Being disappointed is fair and it’s obviously a dip from the enormous high of ‘thank u, next’ but branding it a flop is ridiculous :lol: #1 album looking likely, multi-week #1 single and spawning another top 10 hit is also on the cards... it just reads as a projection of people’s own disdain for the album and them wanting it to flop, rather than actually being one :P

Eels is a lot lower than I'd expected, his last few albums went top 10 easily. Although my copy hasn't shipped yet, so it might climb once these are despatched?

Unlikely, Ariana outsold them massively yesterday

 

Shame :lol:

Number 1 only cuz the numbers are so low those weeks she releasing, you can't really denied that to cut in 50% or more likely from your last album is not a flop... also in the US, and the numbers today are nasty WW but hey, I won't think you'll be honest with all those photos in your profile... so enjoy, what do I care, you have your opinion and I have facts :)

come on Cliff!! Go to twitter and start a campaign!!!!

 

Very disappointing top 3 sales

 

 

Surprised to see Miley still as high as 4! Loving that it’s going to be a climber this week *.*

It's just such an extreme take. There's such an underwhelming sense of bitterness and anger in your messages as if Ariana has hurt you personally and you're taking overwhelming joy in the MISERY of her chart topping single and album? Poor thing. I think it's fair to say the album isn't selling as well as expected (if these figures are accurate), but to call an era that's going to spawn a #1 single and a #1 album a FLOP is such a reach of a choice of wording.

 

A flop would be missing top 5, or a single that left no impact on the charts, not an album where every single song went top 30 on streaming on day one. It's an underperformance at absolute worst.

That's a little rude, Jade was being perfectly fair. In what world is a multi week #1 single and a #1 album as well as a potential further top 10 single a flop?! :lol: Sales aren't going to be great no matter what, especially with the impending lockdown. Yes it's a fall from Thank U Next but no one continues to just go up and up, every star has an end point.

 

In regards to the "you have your opinions, I have facts" - just because you dislike the music yourself doesn't mean it's terrible. I think it's a great cohesive album and better than the likes of Sweetener at the very least.

Sam's album sales are a far more drastic drop from their last but I don't see you branding that a flop. :rolleyes:

 

I can't even be bothered to engage with the rest of that message, it's so bitter :lol:

Gutted not to see bhangra goddess Jane McDonald doing a bit better, hope she can stay top 40 but I know she's a streaming force, so hopefully that can prop her up throughout the week!

:wub:

There's no need to be rude, please consider your tone when replying in here.

 

Ariana will be laughing come the end of the week if she ends on the 30k currently projected. A total that would give her #1 on all but 8 weeks of 2020 so far. Not bad for an album announced less than 2 weeks before it came out, with physicals still not widely available. Ariana's doing well, and to me it sounds like you're trying to justify your own opinion of the album by looking at the sales negatively.

but actually if you think about it, Ariana is mostly selling cos of streams, and there's only 2 days of streams on today's mids,

so she'd be able to add at least another 25K from streams

 

Sam Smith is much more of an under-performance but was sadly expected

don't think Sam has the fanbase anymore, especially the crazy fanbase that buys 5 cassettes and 7 vinyls

even if their label has spent lots of cash on promo and spotify payola, it's not paying off

EXACTLY!

Wish Miley had the success Ariana has, her songs are a lot better and yet she has to release quality like ‘Midnight Sky’ before her songs move up whereas Ariana releases anything and it jumps in at the top spot or top 3 😐

 

Tell her to go back to 2013-2015 and not mess up her image then!
