September 20, 20223 yr Suede's last album would have been around 9k on the Tuesday mids (8.1k Monday, 9.7k Wednesday) and their last 2 albums had similar opening weeks (~11-12k) so wouldn't expect too dramatic of a dropoff from that? Which makes me think Rina is possibly looking at doing 10k+ which would be a very impressive jump from the previous album missing the top 100 entirely. BLACKPINK's last album did just under 20k first week, I would have assumed about the same or better this time but I saw last night that it's surprisingly projected for a lower first week than their debut in the US. Still, would assume it's safe to do at the very least 15k or so? Hopefully Black Pink are extremely frontloaded and the gap isn’t big. Only wishful thinking for Rina of course. BLACKPINK are way bigger on streaming so I would expect the gap to only grow unless Rina has missing sales.
September 20, 20223 yr I'd keep expectations in check with Rina. I'm fully expecting it to plummet by Friday but even a Top 10 would be an incredible result considering the last album didn't even make the Top 75. I guess knowing what the sales gaps in the top 5 are is the only way we'll get a clearer picture.
September 20, 20223 yr ^That's because the cd is priced so high (45 dollars) in the US, not sure what is the case in the UK. Edited September 20, 20223 yr by Sour Candy
September 20, 20223 yr Aside, if that BLACKPINK/Rina top 2 holds that must be the first ever all* Asian born top 2? *minus BLACKPINK's ROSÉ being born in New Zealand but close enough
September 20, 20223 yr Rina is possibly looking at doing 10k+ which would be a very impressive jump from the previous album missing the top 100 entirely. Might need to check this one.
September 20, 20223 yr Brilliant for Rina even though I fully expect her to drop a few places come Friday! Top 5 would be amazing and seems doable but obviously let's wait and look at the numbers...
September 20, 20223 yr In the albums: 04. Marcus Mumford 05. Pink Floyd 12. The Stranglers 18. Lissie 22. Credence Clearwater Revival 26. The Proclaimers 27. FLETCHER 33. Death Cab for Cutie Mura Masa not even T40?! Previous albums debuted at #19 and #23 respectively, so not good. Edited September 20, 20223 yr by SLlewellyn
September 20, 20223 yr Thought Marcus Mumford would do better given Mumford & Sons albums sell really well.

September 20, 20223 yr As if Eliza has managed to overtake Lewis. I hope "Psycho" can go top 15 I imagine it's pretty close between BOTA and Lewis, but hopefully 'I'm Good' has a decent enough lead now to remain number one.
September 20, 20223 yr Yay, go Rina! Both Rina and Blackpink's albums were disappointing, but Rina's was still far, far superior. I hope she goes number one after all.
September 20, 20223 yr So happy for Rina, one of the best albums of the year for sure! Hope she can at least hold on to the top 5!
September 20, 20223 yr I think BLACKPINK will be safe for #1, can see Rina at absolute lowest 3/4 which is an amazing result!
September 20, 20223 yr Rina already over 10k is amazing to see! To go from missing top 100 to this in just a couple years is crazy so glad she’s getting the success she deserves
