Last Wednesday there was a 2.5k gap between Rose and Gracie which increased to 6k on Friday. 400 gap now probably means around a 1k gap on Friday. Do we think Rose will sell that many vinyls?

The Spotify gap is very similar to last week so Gracie will probably be 2000-3000 ahead excluding vinyls

Somedays needs to be put back on ACR. It shouldn’t have been reset in the first place

Was really rooting for 'APT.' to finally nab a week at the top this week but it doesn't look like they'll do it now, even if they manage to shift a few hundred physicals.

Oh great to see Sam Barber sneaking in today but inb4 he gets knocked back out by Hozier's cover of 'Do I Wanna Know?' and ends up at #41 again x

 

Bad Bunny's album climbing *.* assuming 'DtMF' has blown up too late in the week to go top 40 this week but should be there next week unless its virality is very short lived.

 

Also I see the gap hasn't closed much between Franz Ferdinand and Chappell since Monday - looking ok for their chances of hanging on now but still not sure.

 

Although as a possible spanner, it appears that Taylor is going to be snatching the #1 album in the US this week with the Live From Paris version of 'Lover' because of a new(?) batch of vinyl dropping. Not sure if that would have been US exclusive or if it might show up on our chart too?

They did go on sale here, but on international (outside from the us) stores it said they’d ship in Feb and I’ve got no shipping info yet so no Taylor this week… unless they ship them tomorrow

I think Taylor ships Feb 14 in EU + was super super super limited so sure not huge numbers as if it were widely available

Could still be close in the albums.

 

Can’t see “APT.” doing it without a very big sales push. Where are the K Pop bots when you actually need them haha?

 

At least Jade sadly dropping back makes Sam Barber look safer in the Top 40.

the bots only care about BTS (exBTS)

Didn’t think it would still be so close between ‘Apt’ & ‘That’s So True’ on Wednesday so could maybe see a new no1. What a relatively boring start to 2024 though with Gracie and Bruno still fighting for the top spot moving into week 3!

Should Gracie get #1 again(she will) that will be 29 out of the last 37 weeks that Sabrina or Gracie were #1

It's sold nearly 160k in the US, I wouldn't call that 'super super super limited'.

I specifically said EU not US.

 

In EU it sold out in 5 nanoseconds and whenever they restored it sold out in 2 nanoseconds. I didn't manage to get one despite being in vinyl groups, having notifications etc.. they might have had more in the US..

I completely missed that it was a live album - I saw how much surface had been cut off with the shape of the vinyl was and assumed it was a 12" live version of just the single Lover :drama: I would quite like to obtain this album too. I still have the Long Pond Sessions from RSD 2023 on vinyl, I think it's worth quite a bit these days.

Polydor have sent an email out to ‘help Gracie stay at No.1’, with the download down to 59p. Grrr.

Seriously - she’s had a 7 week stint so no need

:angry:

Being bombarded with insta ads now to ‘To keep Gracie at #1’ <_<

I’ll be surprised if that gets her more than 100 or so extra downloads, though she very likely will be #1 anyway.

Hope Rose/Bruno and Lola both get their turn at number 1, but adore Gracie's song and would be content with it getting 8 or 9 weeks
