Oops sorry thats my bad.. I thought it was this coming week aha!

Yeah I work for coop so the radio advertises it every half hour i cant forget that 🤣 shame we dont get free tickets though 🤣

I think these will be her main competition.

Elvis Presley - EPiC: Elvis Presley In Concert
Hilary Duff - Luck ..or Something
Leigh-Anne - My Ego Told Me
Moby - Future Quiet
Mumford & Sons - Prizefighter
Peaches - No Lube So Rude

I think it'll start top 5 in the mids but end up 8/9 by the end of the week - signings keeping it afloat and not letting it miss the top 10?

I’m thinking 7/8 by the end of the week.

Absolute stupidity (and a state of the music industry these days) that her debut single was out in June 2023 and the album.....February 2026.

'Don't Say Love' feels like a lifetime ago.

Does it really matter when its not even on the album though (although maybe it would generate more sales)

Look at Louisa Johnson she won the X Factor and never even released an album

In fairness it's because she was essentially dropped so obviously things take time to sort it all. Its a shame Warner treated her so badly because I'm sure she would have sold relatively decently with all that's she's doing now and whilst the hype of a debut album was still there.

I really dont think Hilary Duff is a concern in the UK. Is Peaches even?

While im not a big fan of her solo music i wish her the best of luck with the album and all going well she can manage to go top 5.

Now that the release date is edging ever closer, I'm really getting excited for the album.

I really hope this does well for Leigh-Anne and that I can get a top 5 place on debut but I don't think I'll be checking this out, at least straight away.

Nothing from the pre-releases has struck me at all sadly.

Still wishing her all the best.

I'm kinda hoping its that album where you're like why did they pick them as the singles when there was so much more better options

I hope she pushes a few more things this week. She should add a new signed print on her webstore (Alternative EGO signed print) try and get the bonus track CD back in stock and add the Green Vinyl to Banquet's personally signed for when she's back signing. I know I'd definitely buy the green vinyl personally signed if they add that when she goes back to finish them.

She also needs to link the Assai signed Obi vinyl to her story highlighting it's numbered to just 200.

I feel like every sale will matter this week to secure that top 10.

I didn't realise they did English versions of albums with obi strips... Thought they were pretty much exclusively a thing for the Japanese market! An interesting, and in my view unnecessary, way of driving extra sales 🤣

(They basically serve the same purpose as a hype sticker, only they're more impactful to the record's resale value)

Nothing has really grabbed me from this album so far. 'Dead and Gone' was the best, but I never really played it much and never go back to it now! 'Friends' isn't on the album, but that was probably the next best one. I won't be buying it but will see if the focus track incentivises me to listen to the rest of the album!

There's a plus version that has friends on and 2 other tracks

Assai have done numbered / signed Obi vinyl's for a while. They're a relatively small independent record store so it's a good way for them to generate extra sales especially with bigger artists (Where fans collect all variants etc..) just something a bit different I guess I think I'd rather a signed Obi strip over a signed print / poster to be honest.

Friends is on the '+' album but it's sold out now.

That's a fair point! Tbh, I think I'd even prefer an unsigned obi strip over a signed print, as it at least feels like part of the package rather than an add on!

I'm not particularly fussed on anything signed (well, anything wasn't signed whilst I was there in person anyway...). Having the sleeve signed looks cool I guess (so I'll usually choose the signed option where that's available), but it doesn't hold any personal value to me, and I don't buy records with the intention of selling them!
