if there is a competition where you have to buy a CD, and there is no option to participate without buying

then that is not eligible to chart

 

in order to chart, buying the CD doesn't have to be compulsory

although a lot of times is written somewhere in very very small font :D

I’d be surprised if Taylor was up all night plotting how to wangle another week at the top of the UK album chart. But would be nice if Twenty One Pilots could do it.

Hopefully 21 Pilots get it been bewildered by Taylor Swifts greed. A few days ago she had a competition for Edinburgh tickets and you had to buy a CD to enter for a chance to win the opportunity to BUY tickets no travel etc included. Never seen anything like that in my life.

 

I mean, she probably had no involvement in that herself personally but yeah 🤷🏼‍♂️

 

What a narcissist, eh?

:cheeseblock: Great to see Girls Aloud - Ten as high as #31! Hope it manages to climb a bit more for Friday's chart.

In fairness many people didn’t give other artists the benefit of the doubt in these accusations.

Yes please - #8 or higher :D

Yes please - #8 or higher :D

 

In a weird way it kind of always bugged me how it just avoided peaking at #10 originally :lol:

Us chart geeks appreciate coincidences like that :lol: At least it got there in Ireland last week. :P

She's utterly OBSESSED!!

Well I enter the competition and I had already brought the cd earlier this year. It did say no purchase necessary.

Will there be a weds update today?

It’s on music week on Wednesday and goes out around 6 pm so it takes time to get it and post it, the update will be up as soon as the mod team can get around to it

There's only so fast I can type! :kink:

Hope you enjoyed Girls Aloud last night.

Good to see Twenty One Pilots keeping the rock dinosaur away from the top spot.

Looks like the Top 4 albums will all clear 20k for the first time since 2021. Should be a close Top 2!

Hope you enjoyed Girls Aloud last night.

I had the best night ever, thank you! :wub:

Great to see decent top 4 album sales.

I hope Girls Aloud climb and don't stall at 31.

With this pace (-1.7K)... 21 Pilot won already. She put signed in her store but I doubt it will ship tomorrow. And also, how much? (It was sold out in minutes anyway and it's gone already even though it's still there for "4 hours". The lead is fairly big. Although I don't know if she shipped the deluxe of yesterday?

I know everyone here hates her or whatever but I wish she won, even though 21P having a very good album.

 

Update:

A fan who said he could track the numbers said:

"there was 6000 vinyl and 3500 cds"

 

So if she will really send them in the next 24 hours with the deluxe from yesterday She could take it but they also doing last minute thing, this will be super close.

 

Edit 2:

I saw someone on Twitter say they tried to cancel their order but couldn’t and got a reply that they’re supposed to be shipping “on or about the 29th,” so today!
