The Album top 10 is full of legends, Johnny Cash, Neil Diamond, Andre Rieu, Andrea Bocelli and what the older generation mostly buy... Michael Buble, Michael Ball & Alfie Boe :lol:

 

Don't forget the full charts are revealed soon, let the chart mods have a rest :drama:

FYI Justin Bieber is releasing a NHS Choir version of his top-ten single Holy. The song will split the proceeds between various charities.

 

Out Friday 18th.

 

This just feels so disingenuous on Bieber's account.

Im not so sure? Didn't he campaign for the NHS Choir to take his Xmas #1 a few years back? Not many people have begged their fans to buy someone else's music instead

Why do artists insist on not using capitals in their song/album titles? -_- It's not cute, it's not clever and it's not original. (referring to Taylor here but the likes of Ariana, Billie and others are just as guilty)

Hope Taylor can stay number 1, it's hard without any physical out!

I don't even like saying this since they are among my favorite pop acts, but Jesy leaving Little Mix will probably boost their sales since it's getting a ton of press

Hopeful Steps can stay put at #16.

Yungblud 1-36 :drama: Hopefully it can recover a few places.

 

Shawn Mendes 52!

McFly sneaking back into the Top 40 :wub: this album has completely surpassed my initial expectations of 2-65-OUT!

Young people listen to Bublé a lot, my colleague, who is 20-sth has his Christmas album on repeat.

HMV responded pretty quick!

 

Brett Eldredge/Meghan Trainor appearing at #57 after peaking at #84 last year.

 

Wilbur Soot sneaking in at #100!

I assume Neil Diamond had some promo this week for the album? Either him or Ball/Boe looking like the number one on only 30k sales in week 2 of December 😐

It was £4.99 on HMVs daily ‘Price Crash’ deal which has helped it, Neil Diamond is their price crash item today.

 

Also 7.99 on Amazon for last 2/3 weeks.

 

 

That fall for Yungblud annoys me - what’s the second biggest drop from number one?

It'll probably climb when more streams are factored in.

Top 5 this time last week and this week

 

1 to 36 for Yungblud

2 to 35 Arctic Monkeys

4 to 46 for Kelly Jones

5 to 52 for Shaun Mendes

 

 

 

I don't know why but it doesn't let me quote the post about the HMV Confetti offer, but did anything similar happen when Zayn left One Direction? :blink:

The HMV offer was a thing before Jesy's announcement

We love to see that drop for YUNGBLUD :cheeseblock: (I was thinking he'd maybe fall to around the low teens, certainly not complaining if he ends up even lower than that).

 

Looks like Ball & Boe are actually continuing to decline week-on-week - did they have some specific promo in their second week that boosted their sales? It seems odd that they would increase sales in their second week but then start dropping again, thought they would have kept up that momentum. I'm still fairly sure Paul McCartney will get the Xmas #1 album but I guess it now appears Neil Diamond might be a bigger threat than Ball & Boe!

 

Good to see 'Christmas Lights' sneaking into the top 40 today, hope it can hold on this week - I imagine it'll enter next week if not but last year it only had the one week top 40 so would be good to see it getting 2 this time around.
