September 22, 20214 yr From MW - #1 Lil Nas X 7,705 #2 Drake 7,292 Damn, at that rate I can't see LNS holding on until the end of the week unfortunately.
September 22, 20214 yr drake will probably be about 100 behind tomorrrow and should finish ahead by around 200-300 copies probably :(
September 22, 20214 yr Someone remind me, what's the record for lowest weekly sale for a #1 album? We can't be far off it. I know it was 'Talk That Talk' for ages but didn't Dua break it more recently? Edited September 22, 20214 yr by Mangø
September 22, 20214 yr Someone remind me, what's the record for lowest weekly sale for a #1 album? We can't be far off it. I know it was 'Talk That Talk' for ages but didn't Dua break it more recently? Yes, Dua has the record with 7,317 in one of its weeks at #1 last year, so that won't be broken this week. I think (based on the last few years at least) Pop Smoke has the lowest sale for a 1-week #1 with 9,665, and Mogwai have the lowest sale for an album that entered at #1 with 10,456.

September 22, 20214 yr Physical copies would have easily got Lil Nas X the #1. Sad that it might fall short with very little in it because it’s a great album.
September 22, 20214 yr Well at least Lil Nas X has beaten both of those, even if it won't be by much.
September 22, 20214 yr Interestingly if Drake does reclaim the #1 this week it won't be the first time he had an album start with a chart run like this - 'Views' went 1-4-1. Somehow I don't see CLB going on to have 22 weeks in the top 10 like 'Views' did though. (I don't recall how 'Views' managed to reclaim #1 in its third week - in the second week it was pushed down by debuts from Radiohead and Skepta but also by Beyoncé's 'Lemonade' which fell 2-3, so not sure how Drake managed to reverse that trend and get back ahead of Beyoncé in his third week!) Also must be pretty rare if not a first for an album to have multiple weeks at #1 without ever being #1 in a midweek update?
September 22, 20214 yr Drake more than likely to take the number 1 album :( although i would prefer Lil Nas X to hold on despite not been really a fan of either but out of the 2 i prefer Lil Nas X.
September 23, 20214 yr I noticed they dropped the price on iTunes for LNX album but not sure if that'll have much of an effect
September 23, 20214 yr Lil Nas X must be steaming he got the record in so late, would have certainly shipped a few thousand vinyls - not sure if they'd have been listened to mind rather than used as wall art.

If I haven't got my dates mixed up, I think "Lemonade" had its physical release in its 3rd week ("Views"'s 2nd) giving it a temporary one week jolt.
