I hope Prada and Strangers are #2 and #3 on Friday.

Sales for James Blunt seem a bit disappointing. I always thought he was a fairly consistent seller.

I actually thought Blunt is doing ok-ish, zero buzz and he's the kinda artists with a casual fanbase

not the crazy vinyl collectors that are gonna buy 9 different colour variants

so if he does 10K that's ok I think

It’s funny how everyone praises Taylor for going to #1 with those sales but when Ed was going #1 with those sales, everyone was criticising him

 

Put thinks into context!!

If you're album does 700K on week 1 and the next one does 170K, that's a huge drop in popularity

whoever it happens to, Adele, Ed, Taylor

 

but also put it on timeframe, sales 5 years ago are not the same as 2023, so cannot really compare either

Also can everyone take the context of this is a a TEN YEAR OLD ALBUM, which most people already have, most people have already and continue to stream?

 

It's just unbelievable scenes and anyone trying to put it down is very very bizarre, fan or not a fan of Taylor.

 

She is her own industry at this point, no-one else could do this.

Are the people trying to put it down in the room with us?

I hope Prada and Strangers are #2 and #3 on Friday.

 

It's quite possible there is only 1.7k sales between 2 and 5 Spotify Thursday guesstimate could be interesting

Please don't make me feel old by saying 1989 is ten years old when it isn't yet :lol:

Welcome back to the Christmas songs in this morning's Spotify chart. Sadly no sign of Monster Mash.

Slut remains as Taylor's third track, but should be overtaken by Kenya Grace by the end of the week.

I wouldn't have thought anyone else behind them could make up a 6k deficit, surely?

Maybe it's just a bid for them to sell as many copies as possible?

 

29 tracks for £5.99 is amazing value.

Anyone who wants to help Taylor get the top 3, buy SLUT! and Now That We Dont Talk on iTunes/Amazon/Qobuz. SLUT! might fall behind Prada so we need to get some sales in today.

If anyone wants to start a topic like we did for Kylie then please do. With these two songs as a focus. Style is out of the Q.

Please don't make me feel old by saying 1989 is ten years old when it isn't yet :lol:

 

Spare a thought for those of us who are old enough to remember buying singles and albums in the year 1989!! :D

I wonder if Bristolmans is gearing up for his usual appearance :lol:
