Most Wanted: The Greatest Hits Top 200 Chart Run: 8-118-181-(out for 1 week)-181-149-148-(out)

 

(The second time it fell out of the chart [which was on 7th January 2022] its chart position was #218)

 

Sales total as of 7th January 2022: 20,287

 

Jay, do you maybe have the same details of top 200 position and sales of Westlife's Wild Dreams? Maybe post it on westlife thread.

Sales are disappointing for the wanted greatest hits, 4 months and just over 20k, could take a long time if ever to even go silver.

Based on my experience i dont think it will ever go, at least not in the next decade with the way the streams are calculated in albums.

I thought they might benefit more from some casual streams and a couple of downloads with the tour going on but its not happening, i suppose they were never huge album sellers even at their peak.

Even though it sounds like a mountain to climb, I'm sure their GH will be Silver within a few years. If it managed 250 streaming sales a week (which isn't an awful lot for a Greatest Hits), then it would only take about 3 years to get to Silver.

 

Just look at The Saturdays' Greatest Hits, that went Silver in November 2018 and then Gold in February 2021, even though that album had a short chart run and low sales in 2014.

The Wanted completed their tour a few days ago, and it's actually helped the album return to the chart! It re-entered at #188 on Friday.

6,725 sales in 2022 so far, on average that's 611 sales a week.

 

Of the 942 it sold this week, 808 of that is from streaming. That's quite a bit higher than its streaming sales from the album's first week of release (598), so clearly a lot of people were refreshing themselves on The Wanted's music before going to see them!

Jay, what are The Saturdays albums' total sales, do you know? I can't find The Sats forum :(

@Jay how do you see the chart run of top 200?

 

I want to see the same for Westlife and maybe their sales too.

 

Just seen online that Tom has sadly passed away. This is absolutely tragic, 33 is no age at all. So glad he managed to get on tour one last time this year.

Awful news So heartbreaking and it’s such a shock because everything was pointing to the treatment going well.

 

I’m so glad he managed the last tour with the boys he seemed to really be happy.

Just seen on Instagram, absolutely heartbreaking 😢

 

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and those who loved him. 33 is no age at all.

Just heard about Tom. Incredibly sad for his family. He was a lovely talented young man.
