OFFICIAL CHART UPDATE

#ChartFact

Out of Ed Sheeran's six previous studio albums, five of them have surpassed one million chart units! The only one that hasn't (yet) is his most recent, Subtract, which was released earlier this year.

 

My comment.

Sales of subtract are around 160,000. A long way off 1 million.

 

 

Kylie had the biggest debut

 

I know you don’t work with facts but even for you this is a bizarre comment.

Anastacia's really fallen off the chart radar these days hasn't she? She went from a #9 album in 2014 to completely missing the top 100 in 2017 and looking to do the same with this latest one. I thought with her voice she'd have at least built up a small fanbase as a legacy artist.

 

EDIT: Looking at the thread in the pop forum I gather there's very little promotion for it in the UK so I guess that explains it (but it is midweek #1 in Germany!)

But ....she didn't. It's literally a fact. Olivia, Lewis, Taylor and Ed did bigger numbers.

 

The way you get away with being so rude and continuously antagonistic is absolutely beyond me.

I imagine 1989 (TV) will get the biggest opening sale of the year anyway.

Not even enough sales for a midweek placement shows how little it has sold.

I'd probably say it hasn't helped that none of these albums have been released properly in the UK for some reason.

Define "released properly" though? From what I understand, both the CD and vinyl are available in the UK from the Townsend website. So I guess it's just a lack of awareness/promotion that's hindering it?

Why is Calm Down back in the top 40? Did it get a reset?

It's been hanging around the low 40 and then top 50 still on ACR. It's still popular and other songs going to ACR will have bumped up it a bit more too!

Totally - her recent album was album for £18 on CD plus delivery from a few online retailers, I’d say next to nobody outside of her core fanbase and here would even know it had been released.

The album hasn't been physically released outside German speaking countries. It is a German songs cover album. It's doing quite well there with #2 in Germany.

Even in Italy, her most supportive country since always, the project didn't enter the chart.

She is 55y old and she is not a Streaming artist, it would have been impossible for her to enter the chart just with streaming and iTunes considering how weak are digital sales nowadays.

 

The album has been bought by fans, outside Germany, through her website or Amazon.de

 

Since last Thursday (last tracking day) the album became available in the UK or in Italy on their national Amazon but considering that the no one is aware of this and fans have already their copies I'm quite sure it won't enter the chart either.

I'm Italian and I've bought three different copies. Not sure if those import copies will be ever be counted in any chart but it doesn't mean she lost her fans support in her key markets.

Oh wow so an organic re-entry whilst still on ACR, must be rare.
