Take Me Back To Eden opened at 3 with 11,611 for reference, and that was before they went stratospheric. Can't see them doing more than 60k but will gladly be proven wrong, so glad to see rock music this popular again

I think 100K minimum, I put 100-150K

Is 200k+ a serious prediction @Dobbo? 🤣

Over 80k.

Sometimes you gotta go bold

I feel like I’ve been living under a rock, I’ve literally never heard of them until this week.

So they gained popularity after going viral on tik tok? But I understand they already had a fan base before that?

I love sleep token! Would love for them to do well!

but difficult to predict with the charts

Last minute predictions before first set of mids?

Edit oops. Forgot I put a time on the locking of the thread lmao.

Well done Mango!

Oh dear

But clearly "the crazy fanbase buys everything" model doesn't apply with harder rock at all. I expected more from Ghost as well.
