Here's a round up of the different formats. It seems all of these physicals are shipping in August. If they're all released in the same week I wonder if she has a chance of managing to chart with it?

 

CD - Signed - £20 - https://www.plasticpop.co.uk/music/never-or...ble-cd---signed (23 tracks)

Have any of you ordered anything, or do you intend to? I don't think I'm in a rush. Confession: I've never actually heard the album in full! So I need to get on with that! I'll see if nearer the time I'm tempted to order anything. Honestly I've been ordering way too much this month, I need to slow down! :lol:

Do plastic pop releases count towards the official chart?

They didn't initially, but by the time the Nicola Roberts vinyl formats were released, they counted! #8 in the vinyl chart: https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/vinyl...art/20220701/9/

Thanks for the info, with a few formats available it might manage to make the top 100 but i wouldnt be hugely confident but best of luck to her, im not a huge fan of the album myself and probably wont be buying a copy but i wish her all the best with it, im delighted for her fans of the album aswell.

I didnt mind her version of U Sure Do.

Yeah I need to buy this !

iTunes now says 18th August 2023 instead of 31st March 2023, which makes more sense considering the physical shipment date is "August" (presumably it'll be in the week of the 18th August though). That's just under 25 weeks from now.

Probably for the best. Get all those sales in one week.

It would be ideal for it all to come out in one go!

To be fair, if it’s slightly more than an independent release, PP will have no choice but to commit to a date and stick to it!

Hopefully it comes out all in one go to maximize sales.

Thanks for the explanations!

 

I don’t know wether to order this one or not

It doesn't mean a huge amount but it's something nevertheless - 'Never or Now' is #3 on iTunes Pre-orders chart in the UK!

Orange seems to be the preferred based on posts and comments I’ve seen elsewhere

Good to see it getting itunes pre orders as fans will be after all the physicals. Its great to see some interest in the release.

Steps Instagram promoting Lisa's album :cool:

Exciting news! To mark the 20th anniversary of her debut solo single #Lately our very own @lisascottlee1 is releasing a deluxe edition of her album #NeverOrNow. You can pre-order it now by following the link in her bio ✨ Lisa will also be performing at this years @mightyhoopla festival on Sun 4 Jun, tickets on sale now 💃

Good to see the Steps instagram promoting it.

Great to see that, any promo at all helps, I wonder will Lisa really get behind promoting it, some signings might help get them extra sales. It would be nice if she could get a promo slot of two and perform one of the singles from it.
