It’s a fairly solid album but I’m not loving it as I did the other girls outputs. However still hope she gets a top 5 album on Friday !

Now the top 3 isn't just a want, it's an absolute NEED!!!

She's so desperate.

I mean I hope she gets a #3 debut but I don’t like the ultimatum/blackmail tacit to get sales. I know others have done it beforehand but I’m just not a fan.

If they really wanted to release it for the fans they would.

I knew you were a hater from the Friday thread! Give your head a wobble and stop wishing someone to fail!

I don’t understand why everyone’s being so negative. She’s clearly spoken to the girls and the idea of them all having a top 3 album is amazing! Naturally they’ve signed that off and want her to get a top 3 so that’s what they’ve come up with.

Remember Leigh’s independent next week her sales will pretty much be 0 if we want her to keep making music and having any sort of budget at all she needs as many sales as possible.

I might think differently if it was one of the girls on a major label but Leigh has to really fight for her place as she’s funding everything.

I actually don’t have that email 😂 The last one was on Friday saying Leigh‘s album was out? Is that even real?

Oh man, I really want the rock version but if she doesn't get top 3 that's going to be quite embarrassing because now there's stakes dependant on it.

I understand the need for her to go top 3, I really do. Especially as she didn't get a top 10 single and was the only one not to do so. The problem with stuff like this is that it just becomes more of a big deal if she does fail to get the chart position and she's putting more of a spotlight on the fact she's performing worse than the others.

Edit - It's fake news.

Great to see it’s fake news. My view on the tactic remains the same, but I’m happy Leigh-Anne isn’t resorting to it.

She’s put the other version (+) on sale as a digital download!

Apparently it’s very close to the top 3!! My second Banquet order shipped yesterday so I assume anyone who’s ordered signed Banquet from Saturday - Tuesday dispatched Wednesday!

This isn’t exclusive to Leigh Anne at all but I really find the trend of albums to be released initially and then drip fed different versions throughout the week to rinse fans as much as possible, all just to get a higher chart position to be kind of icky.

I used to think this but physical / digital sales are beyond horrendous look at all the work Leigh’s done and she’s on 8k!

I think sadly unless you’re a streaming artist you now have to work for every sale and do what you can in release week.

I do hear you, it still doesn’t sit right with me and really it’s just inflating numbers for the sake of being able to say they got a top three album etc.
