November 27, 2024Nov 27 Author Now that The Beatles 1967-1970 has returned to the OCC UK Top 100 chart (no. 54 this week) is it still within the Top 100 YTD listing? Do you have an estimate of it's total sales since 1994 (the OCC era)? Blue album is #80 YTD with 92k and 1.19m total. Red album is just outside the YTD Top 100 with 77k and 1.00m total. I'm guessing Eds mathematics tour , is just on the cusp and will probably make it by year end Yes 68k so far and will be here in 2-3 weeks. And could be a contender for the 2025 year end #1 :/
November 27, 2024Nov 27 Author Could the Cure make it? They’re on 65k and the bar will be around 87k. So they’d need to average about 4.5k per week, already being down to 5k last week. I’m thinking not unless it becomes the Christmas gift of choice like “Hackney Diamonds”.

December 3, 2024Dec 3 Crazy to think Taylor will probably have 7 albums reach the 1M mark next year Currently: 1989 Red Definitely hitting next year: Midnights Reputation Lover Very likely to hit next year: The Tortured Poets Department Folklore 7 albums over the million mark; is that a record?

No. Just off the top of my head Madonna has 8 and doubtless there are other acts with similar/ more.
December 4, 2024Dec 4 No. Just off the top of my head Madonna has 8 and doubtless there are other acts with similar/ more. Ah I see, guess it just seems more impressive in the current sales climate where a 1M selling album in the U.K. is typically the strongest selling album of the year; whereas albums that sold 1M in the 80s/90s in the U.K. could be as low as the 20th best selling album of the year

Reds been stuck between 800 and 900k for years it's not happening next year, and you can't just combine it's sales with the TVs Reputation will hinder on when she releases the TV, Although unless something happens in the next few months she unlikely to be everywhere like she has the last 4 years , which will affect her sales across the board

In the 80s and 90s it was usually just some of the top 5 within a year that sold a million. It's certainly much more difficult to pass the million mark these days it's true.
December 6, 2024Dec 6 As noted by Music Week’s chart analyst Alan Jones, these extra sales further cements Swift’s already emphatic lead as the UK’s best-selling album this year. As of December 6, The Tortured Poets Department has sales of 744,761 units – “more than its nearest two rivals, The Highlights By The Weeknd [383,038 Units] and Short N’ Sweet by Sabrina Carpenter [330,115 units], combined.”
