November 30, 20214 yr Great sales for Adele should be on 109k by Friday imo and Westlife and Ed close to 40k! Be interesting to see how and if sales rise in the build up to Xmas in the next few weeks!
November 30, 20214 yr I think Adele will have a very strong week leading into the Christmas chart and easily beat this week's sales.
December 1, 20214 yr Hopefully Adele can sell 100k+ on the Christmas album charts. In the last 3 years the sales of the Christmas number 1 have been poor: 31-Dec 2020 III Paul McCartney 33,079 26-Dec 2019 You're In My Heart Rod Stewart 71,330 27-Dec 2018 The Greatest Showman Motion Picture Cast Recording 68,606 28-Dec 2017 Revival Eminem 131,622 29-Dec 2016 Together Michael Ball & Alfie Boe 109,594 31-Dec 2015 25: Adele 449,870 27-Dec 2014 X Ed Sheeran 214,451 28-Dec 2013 Swings Both Ways Robbie Williams 126,330 29-Dec 2012 Our Version Of Events Emeli Sande 177,696 31-Dec 2011 Christmas Michael Buble 317,114 25-Dec 2010 Progress Take That 330,251 (dates are chart week ending dates)
December 1, 20214 yr Yeah 33k is pretty bad. Hopefully Adele can at least do 50k Christmas week. I think it'll be hard to tell.
December 1, 20214 yr I think the pandemic was partly to blame though for 2020's really bad Christmas week numbers. Most of the UK were in a lockdown/very tough restrictions scenario the week leading up to Christmas. Edited December 1, 20214 yr by Envoirment
December 1, 20214 yr I think the pandemic was partly to blame though for 2020's really bad Christmas week numbers. Most of the UK were in a lockdown/very tough restrictions scenario the week leading up to Christmas. Slightly off topic but I forget that at times. Living in Australia we were out of lockdowns at that time and things for that brief period had gone to COVID normal. I guess with no lockdowns sales might improve this year.
December 1, 20214 yr Forgot Paul McCartney was number one last year!So did I! When I was looking up the sales in the BuzzJack archive I was actually surprised to see Paul McCartney #1 for last Christmas.

December 1, 20214 yr Forgot how grim sales have been the past few years :drama: Used to love the days of the Top 10 all selling 100,000k + Hell, I remember when you had to sell closer to 10k albums to reach the top 75 during Christmas.
December 1, 20214 yr Last year was really bad Paul McCartney only got to @1 cos he had like 25 different vinyls 😅 The whole top 10 sold very little I think albums at 9 and 10 didnt even sell 10k
December 1, 20214 yr As much as I love some of these Christmas songs, AIWFCIY and LC especially, now that they’ve both finally hit number 1 I’d be glad if they only made low top 10 each year, kind of bored of them going top 3 every year now !
December 1, 20214 yr To think Girls Aloud missed the top 10 with Chemistry which I think had over 30k sales and now it would be enough to get a number 1.
December 1, 20214 yr this is the Xmas album top 10 last year, #10 sold 9K... 1 NEW Paul McCartney 33,079 2 Taylor Swift 23,460 3 Michael Ball & Alfie Boe 22,348 4 Neil Diamond & LSO 19,309 5 Michael Buble 16,767 6 Gary Barlow 14,725 7 (RE) Eminem 13,889 8 Little Mix 10,084 9 Johnny Cash & RPO 9,607 10 Andrea Bocelli 9,513
