I'm inclined to agree, but to be fair this person does have form for regularly describing something as the worst thing "ever" so I would suggest not taking them too seriously with their melodramatic hyperbolisation.

Albums chart! It'll be interesting to see the sales so far.

 

1. Years & Years

2. Yard Act (best selling physical album)

3. Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell

4. Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell 2: Back Into Hell

5. Meat Loaf - Hits Out Of Hell

6. Meat Loaf - Dead Ringer

8. AURORA - The Gods We Can Touch

9. The Sherlocks - Would I Understand

11. Meat Loaf - The Definitive Collection

12 Miles Kane - Change The Show

13. Keifer Sutherland - Bloor Street

14. Meat Loaf & Bonnie Tyler - Heaven and Hell

15. Jamiroquai - Travelling Without Moving (re-release)

18. Ludovico Einaudi - Underwater

20. Meat Loaf - Welcome To The Neighbourhood

Well that saves me doing the update I guess :kink:

I dont remember Westlife doing duet after duet with one the most famous acts during that time and/or pushing for ‘signed’ copies during the week to make sure they get the no1. Also i dont remember westlife getting a no1 and the next week covering the same song with the x factor winner to get 2 no1s with one stone.

 

Tbf you do have a point with that last one. Ed Sheeran convincing LadBaby to do a sausage roll cover of his new Christmas song knowing he would essentially get a two for the price of one on the #1 slot seems more desperate than any of Westlife's tactics.

Will be interesting to see how far behind from the other two Meat Loaf is. Hope Y&Y hold on.

Great to see AURORA at #8 (would have been #3 without Meat Loaf), her last album only got to #32!

I hope she can hang on to Top 10 and doesn't miss out due to the Meat Loaf situation. I haven't listened to her new album yet but she's a definite talent!

Yard Act are announcing signing shows/ticket bundles left, right & centre! Really hoping there isn’t much of a gap between them and Y&Y.

It could be a close fought battle for the album number 1 this week as i cant see their any major sales difference when/if we see the sales later.

Lack of physical stock could let Meat down though.

She should do a cover of Duran Duran's Ordinary World, that would be iconic! Probably wouldn't be better than the other AURORA's great version though!

Yard Act for an unlikely #1 album?

 

 

Genuinely never even heard of Yard Act

Were they in the Top 5 at all in the BBC's Sound of 2022?

Its more 'post post punk' now as post punk was in the late 70s, early 80s! :lol:

When was the last time an act had 4 albums in the Top 10?

Lmao I genuinely used to think that was by the same Aurora when I first came across it, it doesn't help that the OCC's chart history still has them mashed together. Makes it look like Norweigan Aurora has been having hits since the age of 4. :lol:

They’ve dropped the price of the Y&Y New Years Edition to £7.99 on iTunes. I wouldn’t be surprised if they drop it on Amazon too.

Was the late 70s not just ‘punk’ as that’s when it originated/became big?
