Hoping that Joel can climb into the top 20 and that ATB can climb into the top 10 on Friday

The gap between #10 and #11 is getting bigger so, at this rate, don't expect ATB to be top 10 (I'd say it's actually more likely to be #12 than #10)

I just hope Meduza can leave the top 10 as that’s well past its sell-by date

30 Epica - Omega *

 

I have heard of this band they are similar in style to Nightwish apparently but apparently not as popular maybe.

ATB, Tiesto and Maximo Park all slaying. Is this supposed to be the 90s, 00s or 2021?! :')
^don't think anybody thought they had a chance even if they were #1 in the Mids, it's just NME making the charts look more interesting

actually Green Day ended up at #1 with nearly 80K and Maximo Park did 19K, but that was a massive drop cos their previous album had opened with 39K

 

No real surprise as their big eras were their first two albums 2005-2007 era then their lead single from album three wasnt as popular.

Just a question

 

Today Digga D has released tickets to Exclusive Shows on his website (each ticket comes with a free album CD)

 

Would the ticket purchases contribute to this week’s sales?

Surely albums that are a free giveaway with something else won't qualify as official sales. Singles/albums have been disqualified for less in the past.

Little Mix do it all the time :unsure:

It's not a free giveaway - in the purchase you're buying the ticket + a copy of the album together. Architects and Maximo Park are also doing it

So it counts towards this weeks sales?

Alexa, play 'Time' by JLS :sarah:

but actually it depends

if in order to buy the tix, you are forced to buy the album, then those bundles are not allowed

the occ is very clear about that in their rules

there always has to be the option that you can buy the tix without the album

and different prices for ticket alone and ticket+album

 

if they automatically add an album to a tix, then it's not allowed

so it depends...

 

check section 8.3 in here:

Do you think they actually regulate that section properly though?

I can name a handful of artists that get a pass when it comes to ‘forcing’ albums with ticket sales.
