Yeah don’t think they are going to do it now, oh well

Are you keeping us in suspenders?

 

 

I hope not :lol:

It really depends as none of the signed vinyls have been counted yet, plus they have announced their own gig with CD sales too today, then the two download albums...it's anyone's game really.

Guys. Stop negging. They can do it. I can feel it in my waters.

Well I purchased three tickets for the gig and got an album with each ticket 🤣🙈 so that’s another three!

Figures in brackets = the increases since yesterday's mids.

 

Totals so far this week:

21,566 - Manic Street Preachers [+1,604]

20,062 - Steps [+1,198]

 

 

The Ultra Vivid Lament

12,981 - CDs [+887]

5,848 - Vinyl [+110]

1,324 - Cassettes [+222]

1,064 - Downloads [+312]

349 - Streaming [+73]

 

What the Future Holds Pt. 2

15,342 - CDs [+883]

2,027 - Downloads [+223]

1,444 - Vinyl [+3]

800 - Cassettes [+5]

449 - Streaming [+84]

 

 

A bit curious that Manics managed to sell significantly more downloads than Steps yesterday, that doesn't match the iTunes performance from yesterday. Unless they're downloads from their official store.

 

It seems Manics' fan base is very dedicated... look at a 222 cassette increase vs. just 5 for Steps!

Just bought and downloaded the remix bundles.

 

Also downloaded all of the digital versions that came with the CDs I ordered from their store, in the hope that they might also be added to the sales total? :unsure: Probably not, but heck, it’s only an extra 8 ZIP files if they don’t count but 8 extra sales at no extra cost if they do :lol:

BMG really have let steps down if they miss #1 purely for the fact of not having more vinyls available

1 hour to go! I hope you'll be able to make it!

If they miss out it will be the lack of vinyls that will prob cost them, im hoping the bindles today might be enough to sway it their way.

I wont make it all but will hopefully be able to pop in and out.

Glad you'll be somewhat around Feel the Fever!

10 minute warning! If this flops, you'd all better be satisfied with the album peaking at #2 xoxoxoxox

Postponing this, sadly... there just doesn't seem much point in doing this today. Hopefully will reschedule.

 

I know there's lots of you browsing this forum regularly and it would be fantastic if we could take part in this event together! They're a fun experience, listening at the same time as others and engaging with each other about the tracks :cry:

 

Maybe you guys could let us know what days or times would possibly work for you all.

Tomorrow I’ll try make the time… just about made it tonight lol! X

We’re looking at those figures like they were definitely sold yesterday for Manic.

 

It could be that’s Monday/Tuesday sales which only marked as dispatched from the store yesterday? Or possibly even from

Sunday? If there was some sort of hold up?

 

I still think it could go either way for sure!

This is very true.

 

I can’t cope with this I need Friday to be over with already 🙈

i'm not really a steps fan and not familiar with much of their music but just gave this album a listen out of curiosity and really enjoyed it. some great bops! :music:

 

might download on itunes to give them a sale, hope they can get the #1 on Friday!

Sorry I was late finishing at work tonight, tomorrow I'm working until 9.30 and on Friday I'm moving to a new flat and working in the evening. Saturday would be the best day for me but I don't have much time at the moment. I haven't for the last couple of weeks actually.

Maybe sometime next week might work, or possibly saturday evening?

Oh do, give it a download and stream it if you can, its a really feel good album with some great bops.
