No surprises for the #1 this week!

 

It’s a double helping of openly pro right-wing musicians with Aaron Lewis and Tom/Adam at #5 and #6.

 

Early look:

 

1. Kylie Minogue deluxe

4. Stephen Sanchez

5. Staind

6. Tom MacDonald & Adam Calhoun

7. Kylie Minogue standard

8. Doja Cat

11. Anastacia

13. Teenage Fanclub

18. Paul Rodgers

22. 3TEETH

 

I didn't know Staind still existed as a band. I'm sure I heard that Aaron Lewis had moved on from that style (unless they've just turned into a shitty right wing country band).

 

I see this is their first album since 2011.

I just flicked through the iTunes previews and it just sound more rocky than Lewis’ solo releases, although his country twang is quite prominent.

 

I don’t immediately notice any right-wing themes though.

Oh I didn't realise Headie One & K-Trap's whole project was out this week (the song on NMF was just linking to a single), that explains why the other couple of singles have both had big rises on Apple along with the new track with Clavish debuting highly.

I might give the Stephen Sanchez album a spin!

11. Colbie Caillat

16. Stornoway

19. Old Dominion

21. Beverley Knight

22. Within Temptation

23. Joe Bonamassa

24. Trevor Rabin

Assuming Drake's album does actually come out, could well be a second #2 album of the year for Nines. Although not sure what kind of sales to expect from Roger Waters.

 

Fingers crossed for a decent position for Sufjan. His last ('normal' solo) album charted at #35 in 2020 but iirc that had a slightly delayed physical release whereas it looks like the release is all coordinated this time. He had a #6 album in 2015, so hopefully top 20 is reasonable for this one?

 

Although actually... Joe Bonamassa coming for #1 obvz :cheer:

 

edit: Drake album apparently coming out at 6am EST so 11am UK time.

Sufjan for a miracle top 10 please :) this time it has lots of physicals and he has the fanbase that multibuys

and the reviews are on album of the year territory!!

 

of course he cannot promote sadly but alas...

Drake has climbed to #1 on iTunes.

Best album of his for years and years! Drake is back at last!
