February 15, 20251 yr Where's 'All The Stars'? Completely missed that one. Updated predictions 1. Not like us 2. Messy 3. All The Stars 4. Pink Pony Club 5. Busy woman 6. Please Please Please 7. Luther 8. The days 9. GIMME A HUG 10. Abracadabra
February 16, 20251 yr Would be good to see Manic Street Preachers get another #1 album, I think it'll be between them and Sabrina, PND/Drake to be #3 at most methinks (but I'd sooner predict The Wombats to get #3 and Kendrick could still be ahead too). Really hoping 'Not Like Us' will be heading to #1 this week, if it keeps holding as well as it has done so far it'll be miles ahead, I do expect it'll probably start to tail off before the end of the week but it'd need to fall off a lot to fall out of contention (well, unless 'Busy Woman' blows up more over the week). Is the Sabrina deluxe digital only? (edit: actually just checked myself and I see it isn't, that might make it a bit harder for the Manics then)
February 16, 20251 yr Even with a decent 1st day on streaming, cannot see Drake being a challenge in albums think it's sadly gonna be Sabrina beating the Manics Sabrina is gonna do huge numbers cos it's got brand new physicals, Cds and vinyls and at a guess I reckon Taylor released Lover Live in Paris 1 week earlier cos they kinda knew Sabrina's preorders
February 16, 20251 yr Can’t see Sabrina doing much more than 30kish no idea if Manic usually get more than that
February 16, 20251 yr Can’t see Sabrina doing much more than 30kish no idea if Manic usually get more than that Last Manics album did 28k. It'll be a pretty close top 3!
February 16, 20251 yr I’ll predict 1. Not like us 2. Messy 3. All the stars 4. Busy woman 5. Pink pony club 6. Please x3 7. Abracadabra 8. Luther 9. The days 10. Beautiful things
February 16, 20251 yr Even with a decent 1st day on streaming, cannot see Drake being a challenge in albums think it's sadly gonna be Sabrina beating the Manics Sabrina is gonna do huge numbers cos it's got brand new physicals, Cds and vinyls and at a guess I reckon Taylor released Lover Live in Paris 1 week earlier cos they kinda knew Sabrina's preorders Drake should probably be grateful for whatever career he has now, as YouTuber Todd in the Shadows said: Not Like Us may as well be the national anthem of the United States at this point.
February 16, 20251 yr If Kendrick does go #1, I hope he’s one of the few one week #1s we get this year
February 16, 20251 yr Now if Abracadabra and Pink Pony Club can now get their #2 and #3 positions, justice will be restored.
February 16, 20251 yr Hope Tate gets a rebound into the top 10 with this after her album drops on Friday! And I hope the drake tracks drop as far as possible by frodayc
