Yes that price reduction is just normalised now, bought the Steps CD as a Christmas gift for £9.99 and it’s galling they reduced it to its low price so quickly....I’ve said it previously these reductions have irreparably damaged the physical market. £5 to own an album is ridiculous...we were paying more in the 80s.

 

Damage was done late 90s/ early 00s.

Totally this! It’s the norm now and I see different fanbase’s complain about it week after week in the fact that they’ve spent xx amount on pre-ordering it then a few days later it’s slashed to held price, signed bundles etc., in a battle for a chart position, all this will lead to the market declining even quicker as fans will get wise to just waiting a day or two before buying.

 

People now expect albums to be £5 so it doesn’t create the sales uplift it once used to.

Don't think lockdown has helped.

 

Albums discounted in a sale is good but now we are into week 5 of the sales.....

 

+ Not much promo at the moment so the only promo they are getting is price promo.

 

Down to 28 on Amazon sign it's going to have a fight on its hands this week chart wise.

 

Can it stay top 75?

 

Up to 70 on Apple Music which is best I've seen or a while.

 

Kylie on Spotify has gone from 21,000,000 monthly listeners to 9,800,000 in a few days after Santa Baby Xmas plays come off.

I agree about the price reduction, it's annoying to go out and pay full price on release week for example and only a short time later you see it reduced by half the price it takes away the value. With artists like kylie I buy asap but for other albums I must admit I do hold out for the reduced price, gary barlows recent album is an example of this, I want it more for collection purposes as I dont really like the direction he took on this album so I'm waiting for low price but prior to this release I would have bought his album asap at full whack.

Disco streaming number 100 in China on Apple Music.

 

Not sure how many Chinese have Apple Music but still

Where did Disco peak iin China?

67 in Midweeks

Probably the last week in T75 unless there is more promotion!

The #4 album has only shifted 1,631 so far this week - I’m sure there is minimal between the lower end of the charts.

I hope it holds on, but with sales as low as 1600 for number 4, sales of 200 could really turn a position around this week.

They need to find some more vinyls in a stockroom

 

Sell those cassettes for £5

Hopefully it hang on the top 75 but it will be tight.

Honestly I think they are just giving up until things are better in the UK.

I mean I’m happy with what Disco has done so anything else is a bonus but they could do something for no cost which would have an impact - just advertising the fact that the CD is £4.99 at HMV and Amazon across all her social media would give it a boost.

I didnt expect the 11 place drop today, i would have liked a 12th week top 75 but its looking very unlikely now, still it will remain Top 100 which is something and should get another 1k sales.

I think they will release a new edition and hence just waiting and collecting sales of this album.

 

I could be totally wrong but that's what I think. I think Disco suits a spring/summer promo push rather than winter

Yesterday it was only the 126th best seller of the day, which isn't a good indication for how well it'll hold up over the next few days. In fact it's currently forecasted to finish at #118. Hopefully it won't be that drastic, but, eek. The 17 albums directly behind her in the midweeks all sold more yesterday (of course it's mostly streaming).
