For a standard album it’s decent figures but due to Gaga not releasing a proper one in awhile I thought it’d be bigger for sure. This time last year Beyonce and Ariana were just about hitting 40k(or not even in one case) for the week so in that context it’s good.

Not that female artists need to be compared all the time but actually both cases. COWBOY CARTER and eternal sunshine both fell a bit short of 40k in their first week, the former was annoyingly about 10 sales away.

Beyoncé didn’t have physicals in stores. Don’t know about Ariana

just noticed Jimin is #10 on US Spotify with over 1.1 Million streams from fake bots :D maybe they'v switched effort to the US now :D

They’ll have no excuse to skip the new songs if it starts at that time. I’m surprised it’s starting that early just for next week but don’t know why

Yep just for singles. The amount of artists that would be screwed over by that rule on albums is why they haven't bothered

'Abracadabra' at #2 would be fantastic but I've a feeling Alex Warren will get there by Friday

More than a feeling now.

Can't believe 'Abracadabra' is (most probably) going to be robbed of a top 2 place again

Chappell looks safe for her 2nd week at number 1.

Teddy Pineapple climb last thing went see

Blame love is blind

the bundles / variants has become a marketing piss taking joke !!!

WOW

Not like us down 6 glad drop down chart

Why are the number variants suddenly an issue with Gaga? Numerous people have made comments now and it’s really not uncommon.
