I’m also sure of 60k+. And with a great support of HOTN on Spotify, I can see very good numbers for streaming too (like 5k+ units). Essentially three songs will grab decent streaming figures this week — Padam, Hold On to Now and Tension. Two of them will be downgraded, but the streams of the third will be counted fully.

 

I can also easily see 3 songs for Kylie in the top-100.

most amazingly, 150 people voted in this poll!!! is this a record?

Think we had some huge numbers in the Kylie vs. Little Mix polls we had.

This is my predictions:

 

CD: 25,000

Vinyl: 20,000

Downloads: 4,000

Cassette: 6,000

Streaming: 6,000

 

Total: 61,000

In my brain I'm seeing 56k but also a lot more as I do feel a bigger electricity around this release? If that makes sense?

70K plus plus. The hype is much bigger, the reviews is out of this world (88 on MC).

What are the top 5 openings this year?

I think the ones >50K are:

95.8 Lewis

76 Ed

67 Taylor TV

60 Olivia

Thanks! I don't think Kylie can beat Taylor's numbers (she had big chunk of fanbase purchases and streaming as well) but Olivia might be in danger.

She has already sold nearly 4,000 vinyls in her pop up London store alone!!!!! lol

#1, 60-70K i’m going with

Pleased the reviews are among the best of her career, Tension is an outstanding album. I think 63k first week.

I'm just hoping with all the 1000 different coloured vinyls and collectors stuff, she can go past 70K. Do we know if Taylor fleeces her fans the same way? :D

 

PS: I'm a big Kylie fan

Lol Taylor is the queen of fleecing her fans that way, Kylie wishes she was on that level x

OMG really? I've obviously not been keeping up! I didn't know anyone could release more collector's items than Kylie does!

Plus 300 test pressing vinyl which are counted as a sale.

For a change Kylie should get a decent boost from streaming this time and a lot higher than Disco and Golden achieved.

I feel confident the album will sell between 60 and 70K, 60k is very safe i think and she could surprise us and come closer to 70k.

I actually think Tension is available on more formats / variants than Taylor's recent releases are.

for the TV releases so far, there hasn't been many formats, think just 1 vinyl for Red TV, 2 maybe for Speak Now TV

but think they're doing far more for 1989 TV, but lost track already

for Midnights she did 4 different album covers and each had a different colour but that's 4 vinyl variants in the end

but she did that trick with the clock so many bought the 4 vinyls

FAR FAR FAR more, it's always been the case with Kylie ( I LOVE both), but when Taylor does it (only 4 vinyls plus one deluxe, one cassettes and 4 CD's and that's the most she did),

Kylie has way more, and special editions, and pop ups, and more cassettes, colors and more. That's fine by me but stop always saying Taylor doing the most cuz the new Olivia one has 14 (!!) vinyls (plus other CD's, signed stuff and more) and I didn't hear much hate about it.
