September 20, 20214 yr 'Cold Heart' looking good to stick at #2 this week then? Also pleasantly surprised that Lil Nas X is actually at #1 on the albums chart already, I thought we'd probably have one of the albums with high physical sales (Bob Dylan/Genesis/Lindsey Buckingham) #1 in the early update before giving way to either him or Drake. Going to be a very low mark for the #1 whoever gets it but I hope Nas can hold on.
September 20, 20214 yr FYI - MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name) is still on ACR but doing more than enough for a reset. On SCR, it would be #11, so expect it a lot higher by the end of the week!
September 20, 20214 yr Manic's still in the top 10, currently at 6. good to see them still doing well, Iron Maiden also still in top 20 but less surprising as that album is doing ok on streaming
September 20, 20214 yr Shame that Lil Nas X doesn’t have any physicals available yet - hopefully he can hang on nevertheless
September 20, 20214 yr Looks like Talk About and Need To Know are on ACR this week. Talk About is currently at #40 and Need To Know is currently at #49.
September 20, 20214 yr Surprised Lil Nas X isn’t doing more than that even without a physical. Drake likely to get a default second week. Also the sales in the singles poor too but glad Elton looking likely for number two.
September 20, 20214 yr Manic's still in the top 10, currently at 6. good to see them still doing well, Iron Maiden also still in top 20 but less surprising as that album is doing ok on streaming The Iron Maiden album was only #50 on the streaming chart in its first week and dropped out in its second week - better than the Manic Street Preachers showing as that didn't make the top 100 of the streaming chart at all but still not really a huge factor. Iron Maiden just had high enough sales in their first week that they could coast to another week or two at decent positions even with a huge dropoff, I expect they'll still be out of the top 100 pretty quickly.
September 20, 20214 yr ^it's not out on physicals but most of his fans are mostly into streaming so i dont think he would have sold that much on physicals... its even underperforming in the US selling almost 130k not enough for number 1... too bad, hes so talented and his album is amazing...hopefully it will be a constant seller...
September 20, 20214 yr If it isn’t selling that well in the States I would think homophobia is a large reason for it
September 20, 20214 yr 130k is pretty good especially for an album without a physical release (I'm sure Lil Nas X would be able to sell a decent amount of physical copies). It'll be comfortably within the top 10 highest debuts for rap albums this year so far, most likely 6th or 7th. Drake, Kanye and J. Cole are way ahead as the top 3 and Lil Nas X is looking to do just a little less than Tyler, The Creator, Lil Baby/Lil Durk and maybe Polo G. And worth noting Tyler did sell quite a substantial amount in pure sales (he 'only' did 114k in streams so Nas will probably beat that) and the latter two both benefited heavily from having extremely bloated tracklists which counts for more in the US than it does in the UK. Lil Nas X could easily have padded his album out to 20 odd tracks as well and that'd push his US sales up further.
September 20, 20214 yr Amazing that Cold Heart is holding at #2, really hoping it can hold on to that position until Friday and that Industry Baby can make it to #3!
September 20, 20214 yr What i dont get, lil nas x put a lot of effort into the album cover And everybody was talking about it But then there are no physicals Its a shame
September 20, 20214 yr What i dont get, lil nas x put a lot of effort into the album cover And everybody was talking about it But then there are no physicals Its a shame It is one album I would actually quite like having a physical copy of because of the artwork. Hopefully a physical cd/vinyl release will follow in the future.
