Do we know by how much Gracie sold compared to Rose in the final chart last week? Is 2.3k enough of a lead this week?

 

I think it was about 800 in the end. But the gap usually narrows on weekdays, APT performs best at the weekend.

Fingers crossed for ROSÉ this week and either another week on top the following week or Lola would be fine for next week too.

Not a fan of Apt but if it can knock Gracie off #1, I’m all for it

APT had a lot of vinyls last week too, think Messy would've overtaken if not for those. The gap may have been bigger without them

All depends tomorrow if Messy is 80k+ on Spotify I suspect she’ll just sneak one but it’ll be pretty close either way

Robbie still receiving very respectable sales , only one mew song on the album isnt there?

Robbie having the same amount of number ones as the Beatles would be pretty amusing but I'm here for him hitting the top!

The OCC give The Beatles 16 UK No.1 Albums, so Robbie's 15 is not equal to that. They count 'Abbey Road's return to No.1,

in 2019, as a 16th Beatles No.1, because it had 'Bonus Tracks'. However, they don't count 'Sgt Pepper...', as a New Beatles No.1,

when that reurned to the Top, in 2017. That also had 'Bonus Tracks'. So, Robbie has not - yet - had as many UK No.1 Albums, as

The Beatles...

Come on Apteau!

Yeah, deluxe physical vinyl for the first time

 

Ah that makes sense then I'm assuming most are accounted for and she probably drop back a few places by Friday

Really don't know what to make of the top 3 and their sales, it still feels like they could end up in any order by Friday.

 

The identikit follow-up to 'Kisses' has crept into the mids at #100.

I feel like Gracie is genuinely being outdone now, though I wouldn’t rule out Lola catching.

It's rather interesting what OCC will inform on Friday then due the fact that in their article about this topic they count 15 UK No.1 Albums for the The Beatles:

Ooh I'd forgotten about Robbie's physical release being this week, he's this week's Sabrina blocker then :D (as I expect Sabrina is likely to get back to #2 yet again since Gracie is being mainly boosted by a new vinyl). I wonder if it'll gain the streaming sales currently going to his greatest hits by the end of the week, obviously not getting them at the moment. I know they are mostly different versions of the songs but that didn't stop Madonna's remix album ~

 

Would be nice if Mac Miller's album can give him a new peak, his previous best was #8 for the first posthumous album 'Circles'.

 

A relief to see Gracie back down to #3 today, have to assume the data was indeed a bit off (well, even more off than it always is) for the First Look chart. Would still expect her to close the gap again over the week as usual but I want to say that seems like a pretty safe margin for ROSÉ... the position for Sam Barber is now looking more like I would have expected as well, but lol at Jimin still somehow being at #7.

Happy to see Robbie at #1, I had feared that the Better Man soundtrack had been and gone without making any impact. I’m only a casual listener of Robbie but loved Better Man; the music was incorporated well.

Really pleased about Robbie. Film is amazing and the soundtrack is also very good. Kind of a reimagining of his songs and he does sing on pretty much all of them, it’s very good. All for him getting another No1. If Bruno and Rose get No1 single as well that would be the icing on the cake!

Nice sales for Robbie there!

wow very surprised at Robbie, well, that's what I expected at first

but my expectations dropped after listening to the album, which is the most unlistenable thing ever, they ruined all the songs :/

Looking at Spotify for Sunday - Gracie’s lead has been slashed compared with last Sunday for both tracks. It will have a challenge to catch up.

 

We can only assume Spotify got its Saturday data in early this week, or Amazon got its Saturday data in late - or something more extreme.

The film is excellent, but the soundtrack as an audio-only product doesn’t really work I think- for example the end of She’s The One in the film has an extended instrumental/orchestral score part which shows a key event, but without the visuals it sounds like the song just drifts off into a too-long fade-out.

 

Still, I’m happy that Robbie gets another number one. His last two albums were the re-recorded greatest hits XXV and his Christmas album, I’m looking forward to some proper new stuff from him

maybe it makes sense in the context of the movie but otherwise

I remember I checked Feel and it was sung by some child and sounded off
