Keep it! :D

That's my birthday #1 album sorted then most likely. (Looks like the only other big release scheduled for that date before was Louis Tomlinson).

Says a lot about the state of the November albums market!

Aled Jones & Russell Watson's collab Christmas album is also on that day, I can see that being a decent seller too.

Will sell ok but they won’t challenge Bruce I don’t think - their 2018 album got to #8 and 2019 reached #7.

'Nightshift' is out today

 

'Don't Play That Song' (sorry, Train!) is the latest release from this.

 

Bruce should easily achieve another Number 1 album with Only The Strong Survive.
