It doesn't work that way, it's automatic in the OCC database!

oh fair enough, I thought labels had to report it

In reality it's because the OCC doesn't want everyone to know that all Mel's albums have in fact sold 5 million each and she is the biggest selling music act ever!

I reckon its they dont want to let on how many were returned 😝

Australia second week:

#122 Album Chart

#41 Physical 

#24 Digital

Looks like plummeting down the charts is an Australian thing too. 😭

Streaming continues to be her downfall and I'm not sure how she can combat it tbh.

It’ll always be an uphill battle for acts like Mel etc., - they could’ve tried a bit more with streaming this era though, with Melanie C album we had acoustics verse this time where they just seemed to throw out the singles and that was it.

This was the main issue. They completely left streaming... in her DJ era, why is she not doing remixes of the singles like any other pop girl has been doing and throwing out there?

Accoustic versions did help last time..

but to be honest unless you are streamed by the dozens of millions, it might not really pay off anyway?...
