We hope, who knows? What is Manic's album chart life normally like?

 

Short and (un)sweet usually.

Their previous two studio albums:

 

 

02-15-40-57-92-out-91-out [Manic Street Preachers - Futurology] (#2, 6 weeks | 2014) UNCERTIFIED

 

02-04-12-16-29-34-46-63-64-51-59-out-08-36-65-86-98-out [steps - Tears on the Dancefloor] (#2, 16 weeks | 2017) GOLD

 

02-13-22-52-70-97-81-91-out [Manic Street Preachers - Resistance Is Futile] (#2, 8 weeks | 2018) UNCERTIFIED

 

02-14-18-25-44-77-out [steps - What the Future Holds] (#2, 6 weeks | 2020) SILVER

Is that second one Tears Jay??

It is indeed, oops :teresa: Edited now!

Hopefully it can hang around for some weeks and reach the silver status at least!

Midweeks update:

 

Number 8

Not bad!

If it stays top 10 I'll be very pleased I was expecting top 30

If it stays top 10 I'll be very pleased I was expecting top 30

 

I reckon it will fall to 5. Manics I expect to drop to 7 or 8.

Saturday midweeks should be taken with a pinch of salt because there's no streaming included. #8 in this pure sales only midweek update suggests that it could be a few places lower once the streaming-friendly albums get those sales included.

 

If the album can actually stay in the Top 15 for its second week like their previous one, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Ah, ok. Top 20 in week 2 would be great!

Def agree with this, if they can anywhere in the top 15 it will be great,

 

Overall this is a strong album, high is a weak point and I'm going against popular opinion hundred tears of winter is only ok for me, maybe its because I was hyped for the Darren hayes song but it's not a stand out.

Living in a Lie and the slightest touch are just brilliant and steps are at their finest on these tracks. Trouble and love victorious, kiss of life are also great and I prefer all these to take me for a ride, wasted tears is good but probably not a go to song.

Wallonia?

Flanders :)

Funnily enough Living a lie wasn't quite as big as I was expecting due to so many people hyping it up too!

No. I’m asking for the Wallonia region chart position. Not the Flanders region.

Ah, ok. It did not chart in Wallonia. None of their albums did actually.
