The second caffeine based #1 after Black Coffee??

 

Surprisingly, in the 70+ years of the charts, there have only ever been 6 top 40 tracks with the word 'coffee' in the title.But amazingly, two of them entered the same week 14/10/2000, All Saints 'Black Coffee' and a song I vaguely remember as a bop - Supersister 'Coffee'. :coffee:

 

 

The sales for #10 in the albums chart last week weren't really notably low (if anything they might be slightly above average).

Black Coffee foeever iconic no.1 :wub: Even if it just got one week

It was very common for songs to spend just one week at #1 in 2000 and it was rare for songs to spend multiple weeks at #1 that year. It was coincidentally 1 of 2 songs released that year to have the word coffee in the title. The other being the Supersister song titled Coffee

5200 last week you'd think Jess Glynne should be able to do that but with her singles this era flopping spectacularly be hard to tell

I'm thinking Taylor’s week 2 numbers will probably be better than Ariana/Beyonce week 1 numbers

I think even 5k is a big ask for her. It’s been 6 years since her last album and last hit single (and no, This Christmas doesn’t count!). It’s hard to predict but I wouldn’t be surprised if she performed similarly to Emeli Sande’s recent efforts

3K is enough for top 40 in album nowadays, sure she can do that, especially if she has signings

Even when she was big I don't really think she had a fanbase as such, and with things as they are now it's hard to imagine even 2-3k people being interested in an album (and that includes turning up at a signing)

Jess Glynn's streaming numbers are anemic and I'm not sure she has (any sort of) the fanbase to turn up for signings and buy multiple variants. Her numbers will be interesting to see.

wow just read Taylor did 2.61 Million in the US for the album including 859,000 vinyls alone

thats insane to say the least

Jess starting out at #5 - higher than I expected

Taylor only 1000 ahead atm but as no sales revealed could mean anything

Hopefully Jess plummets as the week goes on.

Pet Shop Boys missing number 1 is karma for dragging Taylor for having apparently no hits. I mean Love Story, Shake It Off, Blank Space, Anti Hero and Cruel Summer aren’t even up for debate as being big worldwide and U.K. legacy/long lasting hits.

 

I Knew You Were Trouble, 22, Bad Blood, Style, Look What You Made Me Do and All Too Well are also up for debate for being big hits also (all obviously hits at the time but I mean legacy hits), suprisingly 22 I hear the most of these despite charting the lowest.

^ Yeah I don't think that's exactly what they said, you're misquoting them a bit there. Shame they're not gonna get #1, they really deserve more than just a solitary number one album in their discography :(

 

Jess defying expectations! I doubt she'll stay top ten though come Friday.

 

Really thought Def Leppard would be higher than that in the first set of mids (and they've actually been very complimentary about Taylor from what I've been reading, calling her bigger than the Beatles and the Stones combined lmao)

The fact that the PSB are this close to the most overexposed person alive is already an impressive feat. Just hoping they at least stay top 5 over the week, love the album.

Adele's record label raging!!!

I honestly don't think Neil intended any harm with his comment.

 

I'm surprised they're 1K behind at this stage, I thought she'd be waaaaay out in front. Although I expect she will be in the end.
