I know sales are down in most countries but its still good to see the album doing so well and giving them some of their best chart peaks for years.

Number 6 this week which isnt bad at all for week 2.

Down from 1 to 22 here in Ireland though which i didnt expect after them doing promo here.

They are performing on Strictly Come Dancing tonight.

I really hope they dont perform windows and go with something else instead, id nearly say anything else from the album.

Hopefully it will help the album hold up a bit again this week.

They performed ‘This Life’ which was the perfect choice in my opinion. I’m not quite sure why ‘Windows’ was chosen over that in the first place as the lead single.

Great choice and I do like the song, up to 6 on itunes now.

This life climbs to 5 now :D

Album is #11 in todays mids, they might get lucky and get a 3rd week top 10, Its holding up better than i thought it would.

Number 9, not bad, 3 weeks top 10.

Very nice chart run so far.

This Life should at least get 2 more weeks of a decent placement.

16 in todays mids, hope fully it will be no lower on Friday.

Well after 4 fairly steady weeks the inevitable big drop came this week as the album drops from 17 to 45 on week 5, bringing sales to around 140k, a bit like Wonderland its likely it will never make platinum and if it does it will take a long long time.

Who knows maybe they will do a re release sometime in 2024 to help give it a boost.

 

 

 

They must be the only act to have a #1 album across a so many different line ups!?

Yes, I believe they're the only group to have a number one as a 5-piece, 4-piece and 3-piece.

 

This Life's chart run so far has been 1-6-9-17-45. In terms of just album sales, it's 1-4-4-5-5.

Their previous albums (particularly Circus and Progress) saw a sales boost during their tour, but I think they did a re-release of sorts around then too.

Both beautiful world and the circus had re releases although the circus re release charted as a seperate album.

Out of the top 100 this week :(

#12 in sales. It's a shame how much the charts are streaming reliant now.

It's crazy tge 12th best on sales is not enough for the top 100, actual sales need more weight.
