September 24, 2024Sep 24 Crazy to think if Rihanna had a greatest hits album it’d probably have never left the top 5 in the charts considering the number of streams she still gets daily; likely could have become the biggest seller album of the 2020s..
September 30, 2024Sep 30 Ah, I didn't realise it came out that long ago, I guess that would make sense then if it had just previously been racking up sales without appearing in the chart. I find it hard to believe its sudden appearance in the chart was due to a genuine increase in consumption though, I think it must have just not had its numbers calculated correctly before that for some reason. I remember that happened with 'Baby Shark' too, its YouTube views didn't count to its chart sales for a few weeks. Yeah, it’s possible there was a delay in how the numbers were counted. Similar to what happened with 'Baby Shark,' chart numbers can sometimes be off due to technical issues or changes in how streams/views are tracked. By the way, if you're thinking of celebrating with something special, a custom graduation gift could be a great idea!

October 15, 2024Oct 15 Beatles 1967-1970 (Blue) re-entered the Top 75 this week. Has this helped it to move up the Top 100 YTD? I suppose Beatles 1 lies beyond the Top 100 positions?
October 15, 2024Oct 15 Author Beatles 1967-1970 (Blue) re-entered the Top 75 this week. Has this helped it to move up the Top 100 YTD? I suppose Beatles 1 lies beyond the Top 100 positions? Yes I wonder if there was a spike in physical sales for the blue album and whether it will just switch back next week again. Blue album moved 78-77 in the YTD this week. Red album moved 97-99. “1” has never appeared in the YTD Top 100 this year.
October 15, 2024Oct 15 Album sales are doing a lot better this year, we’ve got already twice as many albums having cleared 200k compared to the last two years. We’ve had a bumper year for music which helps, but I get the feeling they are slowly lifting up in general.
October 16, 2024Oct 16 Yes I wonder if there was a spike in physical sales for the blue album and whether it will just switch back next week again. On iTunes today, Beatles 1 at no. 45 Beatles 1967-1970 at no. 80 So it will probably flip again this week. Beatles 1962-1966 at no. 121. But I guess it really needs loads of streams to remain in the Top 100 YTD listing.
