Mariah being 66,697 copies behind LadBaby. Yeah, she won’t be #1 this Friday.

crazy low sales in albums

B&B not even on 10K at #2 is a disaster for the UK music industry

Macca benefiting from the multiformating it seems

Wow the Kunts shot right up from last night - it'd be great if it could stay top 10 somehow.

You don't say, good call Sherlock :lol: :P

 

ed has no chance at #1 tw

It would be quite the moment!

If there weren’t any Christmas songs, charity songs or novelty songs in the midweeks, then this would be the top 10 in the midweeks:

 

1) positions

2) Sweet Melody

3) Whoopty

4) 34+35

5) Midnight Sky

6) Prisoner

7) Get Out My Head

8) WITHOUT YOU

9) willow

10) Paradise

 

I’m not including Holy in there because there’s a remix with the NHS choir, and it counts as a charity single.

If my grandma had wheels she'd be a bike ❤️

Well I can't see him finishing on anything less than 120k this week, If he was on 80k yesterday, We will have to see what his sales are like today.

But with the remix out today I can see him pushing over 130k this week.

We will know by Wednesdays midweeks should give a clear look at what the remix is selling and totals.

 

Maybe, I just assumed he’d be very frontloaded

I’m more than happy for Mariah to make way for what I’m assuming is a novelty single for a good cause.

 

Dire album sales. I had no idea about the Boris song until now 😂

Top 5 album sales from Monday 16th December 2019 for comparison:

 

1 Harry Styles (28.4k)

2 Rod Stewart & the RPO (28.4k - 53 copies behind)

3 Stormzy (26.2k)

4 Robbie Williams (14.5k)

5 Coldplay (13.8k)

From what I've seen, it's streams haven't changed much - still #70-ish on Spotify - so don't think it'll be enough for a reset

 

Edit: although it also depends how much the new version is doing on streaming, as we don't know how far outside the Spotify top 200 it is, so when combined it could still be enough.

 

The Holy version with the NHS choir has not even made the top 1500 on Apple

I wasnt expecting Paul McCartney to be number 1 by so much, i was sure Taylor Swift wold easily be number 1.

😂 that Boris song at #8

2 songs about sausage rolls in the top 10

Feliz Navidad is currently at #46. I hope that can sneak in on Friday

Why can’t Ed get the number one? Is it virtually impossible?

Also just wanted to say that Afterglow by Ed Sheeran is utterly divine; the best thing he’s done in years!

 

Really hope this snatched the number one off of that awful LadBaby track.

Ed is not going to come remotely close to LadBaby, he'd need absurd streaming numbers to overcome the pure sales advantage (even if he had a full week which of course he doesn't).

 

Happy to see Paul McCartney on course to be comfortably #1 on the albums! And lmaooo at The Kunts being up to #8 now. Maybe it could yet follow 'Liar Liar' to a top 5 peak.

I’d rather let LadBaby have his third consecutive Xmas #1 and for Ed to have the first #1 of 2021

Why can’t Ed get the number one? Is it virtually impossible?

 

Well - LadBaby did sell over 86k copies in its first 3 days. And a new version of the song with Ronan Keating came out today, and that will sell a lot. So therefore, LadBaby will be #1 this week basically over everyone else in the charts, and not just Ed.
