November 9, 20205 yr I think both have absolutely rinsed their fans and they know it, it will be tough to get another 2.5k sales out of the fan base. My guess is Kylie is making up Little Mix streaming advantage by getting more casual sales in supermarkets and on Amazon from the general public. The drops for both next week will be hide behind your hands stuff especially with them squeezing every sale they can into this week and plenty of new releases. I'm expecting both to fall out of the top 10 next week. Kylie fans are used to be rinsed. We are waiting for more signed albums/formats :cheer: :cheer: There are a lot of new releases next week, some very big ones, however don't underestimate both acts for selling more. They both are on Children In Need on Friday. Kylie has Sunday Brunch (10-15 sales possible) Will either get on The Voice final?
November 9, 20205 yr I wouldn't be surprised if Kylie stayed in the top 15 for the rest of the year. I know she's not on the same level of Buble/Michael Ball in terms of supermarket mum appeal in Q4 but the public are here for her this era and in Golden.
November 9, 20205 yr I agree with this 100% everyone does discounting to sell..... supermarkets on food shops on clothes, electronic items etc etc its knowing when they will and then purchasing.....
November 9, 20205 yr everyone does discounting to sell..... supermarkets on food shops on clothes, electronic items etc etc its knowing when they will and then purchasing..... Yes but it’s insult to fans when they literally slash the price to half on release week just get a number 1.
November 9, 20205 yr Yes but it’s insult to fans when they literally slash the price to half on release week just get a number 1. lots of fans are waiting for those discounts before buying though....... thats exactly why they buy a bundle, they get a discount on buying individual items. i buy on Amazon because i get free next day delivery, some prefer to buy from her website website etc. Everyone is different.

I totally disagree hardcore fans wouldn’t wait for a discount, the discounts tempt more casual fans. Whoever the artist, personally I find it terrible when you pre-order as a fan early to support your artist and then a couple of days later it’s half price purely just to get a no 1 which to be honest these days is totally pointless to the casual music fan.
November 9, 20205 yr I honestly believe if all shops etc where open as usual then both acts would be over 40k in todays update and challenging Lady Gaga for the best opening week. Sadly they are not.
November 9, 20205 yr Seems like the OCC are onto Little Mix chart rigging... Link here https://scontent.fdub5-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1...amp;oe=5FCD0CDB Edited November 9, 20205 yr by Mullo
November 9, 20205 yr Huh? Chart rigging? The is a Little Mix go fund campaign and it has has been flagged by the OCC (People chipping in small amounts of what they can afford to build a lump sum to purchase more copies in bulk and boost sales.) I'm trying to post the email comment from the OCC - but can't seem to get it to work. Can you post images on this forum?
November 9, 20205 yr Does that count as chart rigging? As long as real money has been paid for an album? Not that I think it would make much difference either way. I've seen loads of artists have similar campaigns online.
November 9, 20205 yr Yeah, doesn't sound like rigging to me. It is ridiculous though If albums are being bought for cash, I don't see it being a rigging issue
November 9, 20205 yr Does that count as chart rigging? As long as real money has been paid for an album? Not that I think it would make much difference either way. I've seen loads of artists have similar campaigns online. In the grand scheme of things it will make very little difference however the funding source is coming from the US for UK Chart sales and they have been posting the number of albums funded Edited November 9, 20205 yr by ___∆___
November 9, 20205 yr Only a Kylie fan would take the time to actually email the OCC haha! This happens all the time, essentially buying multiple copies from download sites, physical sales etc is chart rigging too! Because why would you need a digital album from Amazon, iTunes and google play? Honestly some people really have no life. Also, echoing the points above...They didn’t discredit BTS’s sales when they did this on a larger scale, so if they do it with Little Mix that’s chart bias. Edited November 9, 20205 yr by Mr. C. Joel
November 9, 20205 yr Imagine emailing the OCC 💀 - Kylie stans are so petty! Little Mix definitely have the better album, so hopefully they can grab the deserved #1 spot!
November 9, 20205 yr The twists and turns this chart battle is taking! Like the OCC are actually going to launch an investigation into a few fans buying what probably wouldn’t amount to more than 100 copies.
November 9, 20205 yr Oh please, that isn't chart rigging. :rolleyes: If an album is purchased, an album is purchased and should count a sale! Simple as that! Fans do it all the time (though I can't see it making much of a difference unless it's a fandom the size of BTS' Army)
November 9, 20205 yr These are the rules: "Actions which will be considered a breach of these rules include: a) promoting the sale of any album by supplying a dealer with albums by another artist free of charge or upon terms more favourable than would be the case but for that promotion; b) purchasing albums or causing albums to be purchased or streamed other than as a genuine consumer transaction; c) multiple transactions of albums on behalf of other persons, d) interference with the operation of transaction recording machines or other equipment or computer software used to compile the Charts or collect or collate its information or in any other way being a party to the submission of false or inaccurate data to the Chart compiler; e) offering money or other benefits to a chart reporting retailer or service contingent upon an album entering any of the Charts or attaining a minimum chart position; f) procuring the sale and/or consumption of an album in conjunction with a non-related or excessive gift, i.e. which gives the consumer a product, voucher or benefit or anything else which is either unrelated to the album concerned or of a value in excess of the normal retail price of the album without that gift, and where it is not an album and merchandise package as outlined in section 8.0. g) any other activity intended unfairly to influence Chart positions." Obviously OCC will investigate the situation if needed but LM are hardly going to lose any of their existing sales because of it. Edited November 9, 20205 yr by Sour Candy
