November 2, 20205 yr Btw I’m not the ‘crazy stan’ archetype at all - I’m perfectly capable of thinking rationally. I’m obviously a fan of Ariana and felt an urge to add more of a positive balance on this part of the forum, as there was this slightly uncomfortable aura of wanting her to fail that was being parroted over and over again. I’d maybe understand such a rampant attitude if she was a terrible person (as y’know, actual nonces still get hits), but instead all she’s done is release an album that’s not as in line with the forum’s taste as usual. Going to step back now, stream ‘positions’ and wait for the Jane McDonald chart upset from afar :magic:
November 2, 20205 yr Jade showing her true colours :lol: Just kidding. Besides, more than one week at no.1 and doing the chart double can’t seriously be call flopping.

November 2, 20205 yr the way this thread is serving a messT omg, I'm not even ready for how it's gonna be next week :cheer: Cam's album showing up in the midweeks (and top 75 as well) is a pleasant surprise <3 Meghan's xmas album completely bombing unfortunately was expected :cry:
November 2, 20205 yr Ariana should still get that number one album with ease. Also interesting that Bring Me The Horizon's three tracks on the singles chart have ended up at #51, #52 and #53 on the midweek update! Hopefully their album moves into the top five by the end of the week too.
November 2, 20205 yr 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 :) So boring now...please stop

November 2, 20205 yr Can I just say, except for Wales there is no lockdown on record stores in UK this week so that cannot be used as a excuse for what seem subdued sales from Ariana and Sam. Shops close the 5th Nov so will hit Kylie and Little Mix the most on their release weeks. Ariana physicals hurting her and streaming albums would need huge streams and also she has done no promo in UK, so that's likely her downfall so far. It will probably do fine As for Sam Smith. Well they have surely lost a lot of fans as lots of their promo is about their personal life etc and less about their music as in the past. People can get fed up of all that and turn off. They have had big promo slots of G Norton and Strictly and it doesn't look like it has helped them much
November 2, 20205 yr How do you know that it hasn’t helped them much? They could’ve been on like 6k for all we know. Really pleased that Ari and Sam are ahead of Cliff however!

November 2, 20205 yr I think Positions (in terms of sales /chart run) might be similar to ANTI by Rihanna. That had rather similar opening sales at this point on its chart debut (although it did enter at #7 here!). The reaction to that album at first by a lot of fans including me was that it wasn’t that great then slowly but surely it begun to click. It stuck around on the charts and ended up getting a cult following. I think Positions the album could be similar. It is an album what gets better once you listen more. Arianas longevity will be the most important thing and I think she’ll definitely manage decent longevity with this. I’m sure Ariana and her team are happy with how well she’s doing though.
November 2, 20205 yr How is topping both charts at the same time a flop? That's a new one for me. Ariana released an album and it's like the critics are out sharply. It's just a chart prediction thread isn't it??
November 2, 20205 yr Y’all have to remember Sam has had multiple delays to their not mention Sam did not have much time for preorders for “Love Goes” barely an month This entire era was starting very well with DWAS & HDYS being massive hits, then I’m ready and delay utterly destroyed the era’s momentum in the US and their home country, I don’t think Sam is over at the slightest just an massive misstep, Diamonds is literally blowing on ITunes & Apple Music and gaining on Spotify So clearly UK still see’s Sam appealing, just this pandemic was good for their career, I’m sure they’ll bounce back for SS4 Edited November 2, 20205 yr by Yog
