'Wellerman' for #1 tbh x

 

The first day streams on AM weren't that huge for Drake then, btw! If they were, he should've been #1 in these mids.

 

Well he was less than 800 units behind, and that's with 'Wellerman' having the huge advantage from Amazon...

Yikes at the sales for Kings of Leon. Oops at A Day to Remember just inside the Top 20 when I thought it would probably contend for the Top 3.

 

Great to see Goldfrapp back in the Top 40, would love them to remain there but they would have to double their sales at this point.

 

Architects are down 1-13 and Maximo Park are down 2-65.

That lead for Wellerman is bigger than I was expecting but Olivia might still be able to make it by the end of the week, there's a big chance for the former to go to the top next week.

 

I'm not actually that surprised by the KOL album sales there, I was pretty sure they'd be a lot lower than last time out and this is about where I thought they'd be at this stage.

Yeah ADTR's album has been massively hated by their fans for the most part, I quite like it as I prefer pop-punk to metal - but I'm not surprised to see it not doing too well.

 

(it being delayed well over a year didn't help either)

Obviously there's missing Spotify data to account for but that's still a bigger lead for 'Wellerman' than I was expecting.

 

Going to be a very tight race for the top this week I think.

Japan's 'Quiet Life' charted at #53 upon release in 1979, so that's looking like a definite new peak for a 42-year old album!

Wellermen might do it then, especially if they start some campaigning

 

very disappointed at KOL sales, only 14K at this stage is very disappointing

Let pry wellerman can hang on

Where is Mollie King?

SO happy Dreck isn't getting another mediocre #1 to his name.

Thank god Drake isnt number 1, Gabrielle should be safe enough to stay topo 5 now which is really good.

My ideal scenario would be Wellerman at #1 this week and then something new that I was instantly drawn to next week. :lol:

 

With Wellerman doing better than expected so far, my fingers are now firmly crossed for a big-selling new bop to be released on Friday. :lol:

I've got the original, its nice to see the album inside the top 3, not sure if it drop out of the top 10 by the end of the week. The Vinyl is going for £45.00 on Amazon, that's a bit pricey :o and there is a Red coloured vinyl going for £25.00. I'm tempted with the red coloured vinyl

I wonder if Dua can reach #2 this week.

 

Goldfrapp is doing great, hope it can stay top 40

I think all of the top 4 are different shades of BLEH, so at least yay to something knocking Drivers License off at last, even if I don't care for either of the contenders particularly.

I expected higher sales for Kings of Leon.

Drake falling back we like to see , would love #wellerman to get a week but Olivia will probably climb back up ,
