25 is going to block Ed's album in a few weeks *.*

 

:kink:

worth noting that now Cold Heart is ahead of Shivers

on all three platforms, Spotify, Apple and Amazon

on Amazon Shivers is down to #4

 

on Apple, Sam Fender - Spit of You also up to #17

And they say Artists have to release every year to keep people interested. These numbers are insane.

 

Not sure who says that? With every artist it just needs to be the right song and time. That can be 9 months after the previous album like Rihanna used to or years like Adele. Get the material right and the rest will fall into place.

 

Easy on me is exactly what the general public want from Adele they will lap it up now or 3 years ago.

Could have been a multi week #1 if Adele didn't release. Shivers signed CDs still nowhere to be found :)

Just found one on my desk, it came in the post today

The 30k signed CD singles were dispatched?

I've seen quotes from Spotify staff to the effect. Once the steady flow of new content dries up, it takes the artist outside of people's daily/weekly routine and makes it harder to return to it. There's probably also an element of music trends shifting and not going with it can make one seem stale and behind the times when they do return, or have their abrupt shift into it feel so jarring without any middle steps towards it. I think though it's more applicable to artists who aren't household names, Adele is too big to fail.

 

I don't think we consciously toss aside artists who take too long breaks, but algorithms aren't always kind, and there's probably data that shows that we're all guilty of giving artists the cold shoulder when they don't play the game effectively. Or alternatively, turning them into nostalgia artists eventually, a la new Killers songs never coming close to matching the comfortable familiarity of Mr. Brightside and its ineffable daily streams.

Indeed, it's all about how the users react to music. The system knows better than us what and how we listen. For instance, Khalid was basically among the top ten acts on Spotify, getting the best playlist placements possible and yet his new music has bombed completely. It's a huge uphill for him to bounce back, I doubt he never will.

 

Yet, his number of monthly listeners is huge. How can he flop? Because the listeners don't want to hear his new songs.

Omg *_* Massive. I hope the label get "Love In The Dark" reset. It could possibly go top 10 if they did!

 

I wonder how her numbers will hold up. Hopefully she'll be doing 2mil+ for a couple more days still.

Away from the absurd debut of 'Easy On Me', :cheeseblock: at 'Love In The Dark' flying into the top 10 - although it seems 'When We Were Young' and 'Someone Like You' have both gained a lot more today, and in fact on Apple 'Love In The Dark' has even somehow fallen today (down to being only her sixth highest song with 'Rolling In The Deep', 'Hello' and 'Someone Like You' all overtaking it) so unfortunately expecting it to end up being starred out this week with her other two chart songs being SLY and WWWY. Shame as it surely would have had a shot at going top 40 this week, ah well, at least it secured a top 100 peak last week!

 

pretty well for the Lovejoy EP, Coldplay on the other hand underperforming a bit...

 

but much worst underperformance for Young Thug considering the big collaborations in his album

having a single that features both Drake and Travis Scott and only in at #54 it's a bit of a flop :D

 

I don't know, I think 7 songs in the top 200 is quite good for an album that had "zero minus infinite" buzz :teresa: (in all seriousness it is performing more or less the same as their last album did, with the highest songs being higher than they were last time - I guess they maybe should have done a little better after the singles outperformed the ones from 'Everyday Life' tbf but still hardly expected them to have a particularly huge album bomb as they're not exactly streaming giants).

 

Young Thug's last album didn't really make that much of an impression on UK Spotify either although it's weird that this album seems to be doing worse than the throwaway Young Stoner Life compilation from earlier in the year (the Drake collab from that debuted at #28 by comparison). The big name collabs on this new album are mostly quite deep into the tracklist - the Drake/Travis song is track 12! - but they've ended up as its highest charting songs anyway so clearly there's not a particularly large audience for Young Thug albums in the UK. It is however notably performing a little worse than his previous album and the YSL compilation even in the US so yeah, probably fair to call it an underperformance overall.

 

I guess it's possible that basically every other release yesterday was hurt by Adele sucking up all the hype in the music industry world (probably would impact Coldplay more than Young Thug as I'm not sure the latter's demographics would have quite as big an overlap with Adele's :lol:)

Is the 5.4m for Adele in the US a one day record too?

The attention economy swallows up so many, there's only so much room in algorithm recommendations for anyone, this post is right on the money. Just as Youtubers have to keep releasing content to the point where their mental health can burn out, musicians have to do the same. Algorithms really are heartless and generally a net negative for creators across entertainment.

 

Which, while it's always been a constant, that there are a few like Adele and Ed Sheeran who ARE immune to this effect is disappointing, they are the few musical elites and will be for the foreseeable just by virtue of being who they are and playing their position safe. Everyone else is fighting for whatever little bit of attention is left over.

Is the 5.4m for Adele in the US a one day record too?

 

Not quite, the top 3 songs from 'Certified Lover Boy' all had higher first day totals and 'drivers license' had at least a couple of days over that number too. (I think 'Girls Want Girls' has the one day record with 6.146 million, beating the peak day of 'drivers license' by literally about 1,000 streams). 'Nonstop' from the previous Drake album had a higher opening as well.
