February 6, 20214 yr Foo Fighters have this weeks Number 1 album in the bag, but with the lockdown restrictions effecting physical sales, I can't see them selling many more than 30k this week.
February 6, 20214 yr just found an old MW report with all the Foo Fighters 1st week sales, very interesting, their sales were crazy during the 2000s... Foo Fighters (#3, 1995) 18,724 sales The Colour And The Shape (#3, 1997) 18,946 sales There Is Nothing Left To Lose (#10, 1999) 23,704 sales One By One (#1, 2002) 91,471 sales In Your Honour (#2, 2005) 159,179 sales Echoes Silence Patience & Grace (#1, 2007) 135,685 sales Greatest Hits(#4, 2009) 68,851 sales Wasting Light (#1, 2011) 114,557 sales Sonic Highways (#2, 2014) 88,637 sales Concrete And Gold (#1, 2017) 61,254 sales (including 4,282 from streams) their last one did 61K, which is pretty good.
February 6, 20214 yr No idea what to expect for Black Country, New Road - hoping for top 10 at least!
February 6, 20214 yr Interesting how their first three albums were all similar sales for the Foos and then they exploded in the noighties!
February 6, 20214 yr Also interesting that 159k was only enough for #2 that week in 2005 - the #1 was Coldplay's X&Y in its second week.
February 6, 20214 yr Also interesting that 159k was only enough for #2 that week in 2005 - the #1 was Coldplay's X&Y in its second week. That was a June release too. Album sales were high all year round back then.
February 6, 20214 yr I think Foo Fighters should still be able to do at least 50k or so - The Killers had barely any drop at all in the opening week sales of their last 2 albums, I'd think Foo Fighters' fanbase is similarly rocksteady at this point. The album is also doing extremely well on streaming (for the genre / such an 'old' act) which surely has to be indicative of something. Fleet Foxes are finally releasing a CD of their album this week apparently (god knows why it's taken this long especially when the album is pretty explicitly autumn-themed), hopefully that can give it a good new peak (won't take much!) Interested to see how The Weeknd's greatest hits album does - could potentially just be high up the chart by default for a long time to come :lol:
February 6, 20214 yr No idea what to expect for Black Country, New Road - hoping for top 10 at least! Of course, they were my Unknown Pleasures 2019 entry!
February 6, 20214 yr Also interesting that 159k was only enough for #2 that week in 2005 - the #1 was Coldplay's X&Y in its second week.Yes, 'X&Y' by Coldplay sold 238,892 that week (down from an opening week sale of 464,471). As gavindeejay posted, sales were high all year around. 2005 was the peak year for albums sales.
February 7, 20214 yr Interesting how their first three albums were all similar sales for the Foos and then they exploded in the noighties! I was thinking that, although 2001/2 was the era that bands influenced by Nirvana and the Foos really exploded commercially so I guess it stood to reason that the source material would perform well when they released a new album. I think their older songs had been gaining more traction in the 12-18 months before they released that album through things like Kerrang TV and the Q music channel at the time too. Interested to see how The Weeknd's greatest hits album does - could potentially just be high up the chart by default for a long time to come :lol: I bought this on CD the other day as it's a bit of a novelty to have a contemporary act releasing a greatest hits, and I don't have any of his recent studio albums physically. I think it will probably be a bit of a Becky Hill type situation and just hang around in the 20s/30s for an age after potentially quite a decent debut this week, especially after the Superbowl. Wonder if there are 500k cd players in the UK these days :P I wonder if CDs will become a collectors item that nobody plays in due course too? There were probably more cassettes sold last year than there are cassette players in the UK!
February 7, 20214 yr I think it was the release of All My Life that catapulted Foo Fighters to the 1st division of rock until then they were still under Nirvana's shadow despite releasing some proper great tunes like Everlong or Big Me but All my Life was much better than anything they've released before, rockier but still melodic
