It won’t sell near 200k I’d imagine, 50-75k would be my guess.

Yeah 200k seems way too ambitious at this point in his career but 50-75k feel a little low. I think he should still be able to break 100k. I'm thinking we need a poll!

Cant see him coming anywhere close to 200k but id love if he could break 100k but its hard to call.

Not sure if he can still break the 100k mark but id be suprised if it does worse than subtracts opening of 76k, he's gone a lot harder on promotion , 2 out of 4 songs have had very good chart runs and he just announced early access to presale to 2 gigs when preordering

Going by tik tok looks like Camera is gonna be the focus track release week

I’m gonna estimate similar to man’s best friend between 80-89k!

Have any other artists done tik tok live concerts to promote before just curious

(I seen capaldi and Jade and actually a few others live but I mean actual concerts)

'Camera' has also been added to Radio 1's playlist for Friday so it's confirmed as the single

Is it a prequel song to 'Photograph'?

Lyrically he sings about not needing a camera to catch the moment so could say the opposite of photograph

Must be a slow song if so!

Hard to tell at this point it doesnt song TAL slow from the snippet but its also not upbeat

His strategy of doing a pre-sale code for the tour dates through Amazon was pretty genius. All 4 variants were 1-4 and the CD has now sold over 5k+ alone so I would be surprised if he isn't over 100k or at least very close to by the end of the week.

Took a leaf from coldplay to get those extra sales 😅

Feels like other than the singles he's gone back to basics getting a lot of + / x and ÷ vibes

It's not a perfect album by any means but it certainly has some good songs on it. 'Symmetry' is great, that should have been the single rather than 'Camera'. 'In Other Words' is also quite nice, and the first three songs on the Extended Edition are also great! Whilst not a career best, I can see this album growing with repeated listens.

Just listening through and Symmetry shouted 'single' at me for sure, maybe it will be one.

Old Phone, A Little More and Camera don't really feel like singles or even focus tracks, surprised he chose them as they're weaker retreads of stuff he has done before whereas Azizam and Sapphire (and Symmetry) are super fresh but without losing his identity.

Yeh it’s strange how he’s chosen Camera ahead of a much more unique uptempo pop song like Symmetry. Def the highlighted of the album.

It's a much, much better album than Autumn Variations. The last few songs will need repeat listens to click, but the first half has some great tracks. Definitely some ballads towards the end (of the standard edition) that feel like they're trying to emulate that big sound of Perfect but maybe not quite getting there.

Yeh there’s some decent tracks on it, I think I will probably return to it quite a lot. Azizam def one of the best tracks this year for me, infectious from the first listen. His first no1 on my personal chart since the Christmas song with Elton.

Didn't he say it was the album he was most himself z even the video to camera is basically everything he done with cherry but used an actress instead of home footage as some things should stay private

Symmetry is really good and also Camera is not that bad imo. Full review when my CD arrives.
