November 8, 20205 yr So Kylie got a boost from Graham and Little Mix sold consistently without major promo I can’t call it - it could be either one of them The Search was pretty big Friday night promo I’d have said. Very interesting battle. If it’s neck and neck come Thursday then Little Mix’s late streams boost will get them over the line, depends if Kylie can keep her nose out in front by the same margin she currently has.
November 8, 20205 yr :frankie: They just had two tv shows about them with live performances on both nights, how is that not promo? It wasn’t great promo for the actual album though... They didn’t perform anything from the new album last night and obviously no mention of the album at all ever. Obviously it’s good promo for Little Mix but I’m not sure the casual watcher would know about the new album as such.

They got a lot of attention with the search and a lot of positive feedback! The Search two nights in a row was huge promo on primetime tv regardless.
November 8, 20205 yr The viewing figures say otherwise. Graham Norton doesn’t exactly get huge ratings either, does it?

November 8, 20205 yr Graham Norton doesn’t exactly get huge ratings either, does it? The ratings for Graham are usually pretty good although not massive but for some reason it seems to tap into the music buying audience even more than say strictly which gets more than double the viewers.
November 8, 20205 yr It was two nights of an entire show dedicated to them, it doesn’t make it bad promo because people chose not to watch it! Back in the day, The Sats stans could only dream of such an opportunity. They got excited over Google Hangouts and Let’s Do Lunch :cheeseblock:
November 8, 20205 yr I agree. The Search might not have been the success it was hoped to be but 2 million viewers is 2 million viewers, plus there was loads of news articles and social media interest after. They might not have said "hello we have an album out buy it" but people aren't idiots, I'm sure they could work out that Little Mix had something to promote.
November 8, 20205 yr Kylie must be selling a huge number of physicals if she’s extended her lead after Friday’s streams have been included.
November 8, 20205 yr Kylie must be selling a huge number of physicals if she’s extended her lead after Friday’s streams have been included. Course she is look how many versions she has. Cassettes, god knows how many different types of vinyl (3/4) deluxe, standard. Another 2k copies signed and signed Vinyl coming soon.. Little Mix can’t even keep the one different vinyl option in stock it’s been out of stock since Friday. Edited November 8, 20205 yr by Mr. C. Joel

(4 different picture discs, black vinyl and the sold out splatter vinyl) Kylie actually has 1 less than them (clear, blue, turquoise, black and the now sold out Spotify edition) LM have/had 5 cassettes too versus 1 for Kylie
November 8, 20205 yr A little note ahead of today's first look show - please can we avoid spoilers for the Sunday single mids? So the show isn't spoilt for those who wish to listen! Album mids are fair game though. Thanks guys :D
November 8, 20205 yr Also everyone keeps saying Kylie has a ‘signed vinyl coming soon’ - this is incorrect, the ones she was signing were the white test pressing vinyl which sold out on the first day of pre-orders, the others she was signing was for the HMV competition. The only ones to have done signed vinyl is LM.
November 8, 20205 yr Chuffed to see Kylie extend her lead slightly, even with Friday Streaming added. This is going to be such a fun week. Edited November 8, 20205 yr by Liam.k. No spoilers for the singles ahead of First Look!

The only ones to have done signed vinyl is LM. Little Mix only signed Vinyl when they first launched and there was literally 500 copies max, alongside the deluxe which only had around 1,000 signed (Added them all to the basket to see haha) Ahh I thought they were new Vinyl's that's a shame I was hoping to get one haha. I'm actually going to order a Vinyl after this week as I actually do quite like the Album after giving it a play on Spotify. Edited November 8, 20205 yr by Mr. C. Joel
November 8, 20205 yr Really proud of both artists for pulling off such great numbers with such great albums.
November 8, 20205 yr Could we see the highest first week sales for a number one album of 2020 this week? I really hope so!
November 8, 20205 yr It’s just a shame that either of these could have picked any other week to release on and they’d have easily got the number 1!
