Yeah they could delete Beautiful Things and it would probably help :D

They could push Mystical on Hot Hits... for a song that has been for that many time in the Top20 of Spotify his highest position on Hot Hits UK has been 10... it's a bit low.

Maybe the sun will save Mystical

Id say more chance of the daily star 😅

Bieber album out tonight - genuinely have no idea how well it will do. My intuition is that no one cares and it won’t do great numbers, but am not that confident on that belief. What do other people think?

Apparently he's been going through some stuff with his wife and has come back from a "detox"- plus it's his first album in 4 years and his last reached number 2 with multiple weeks top 5. Would be surprised if it wasn't a top 5 at least.

Seems like no physicals so will be tough to get #1 from just streaming but depends how good it is and if he’s standing on business

Curiosity listens will be big for Justin I expect - first album in 4 years and there's a lot of chat on social media already. Whether anything holds up will depend on the quality!

Billie Eilish's first show at the O2 is tonight. She got a small boost from the first two shows she did in Glasgow but expect a decent boost for her discography the next week or so as she's doing 6 shows at the O2 followed by 4 at the Co-op Live in Manchester.

For reference:

I'd presume Wet Leg are still big enough with physicals to beat Bieber to #1 next week?

Probably. Justin did ~21k with his last album and they did almost 30k with theirs. It'll depend on how big Justin's streaming will be. If his album is of good quality and physicals manage to get released in some form I wouldn't be surprised if he does better than expected.

At least let the album release before jumping in with the flop stuff

As joseph said curiosity streams COULD be big might not be, and albums have gone number 1 without physicals before

???

Justin's first week album sales:

28,274 My Worlds [04*]

09,158 Never Say Never: The Remixes [17]

14,991 Under the Mistletoe [13]

38,115 Believe [01]

17,932 Believe Acoustic [05]

11,247 Journals [46]

90,596 Purpose [02]

17,681 Changes [01]

21,743 Justice [02]

* My Worlds debuted at #4 before later peaking at #3.

So yes I think he'd need a VERY strong showing to be able to defeat Wet Leg, I'm not expecting #1!

Just confused by the meaning of "standing on business" in this context, like does it mean "if he's still doing what he's done in the past"? Genuinely confused but I'm most likely just being stupid

EDIT never heard of the meme before

LMFAO!!

I don’t think he’ll beat Wet Leg, but I think he’ll do big things on the top 200 songs charts.
