Monday at 17:162 days Impressed with the Amy Macdonald sales. Didn’t realise she had a sizeable loyal fanbase.
Monday at 17:262 days Can we talk about the firepower of that top 5 in the singles? If you were to random generate a date from any time in the last 18 years, theres a better than 1 in 6 chance that the #1 that day was a song by Ed Sheeran, Calvin Harris, Justin Bieber, or Sabrina Carpenter.

Monday at 17:432 days Didn't expect Calvin's sales to be so close to sabrinas, and hopefully thats a good sign sapphire might repeak at least Mk looking at an easy second week

Monday at 18:102 days Slide away could have if they released it on Friday but they wasted a day of streaming and most of the downloads went to last week too
Monday at 20:342 days Love how this top 10 is so different than the Billboard Top 10. Feels like the 90s again
Monday at 20:362 days thank god for that too cos America are still allowing a bar song and lose control in the top ten (although we’re both stuck with beautiful things but hey ho)

Monday at 21:332 days Disappointing that Grace Davies couldn’t even make an appearance in the mid week album update.
Tuesday at 01:022 days Anyone know what brings Gigi Perez into the album chart finally? Nice to see, hope she can at least remain top 100 by Friday.

So I’m not surprised that Bieber is debuting around number 5.The UK really needs to take a page from what Billboard does in the US when it comes to streaming, to better reflect the actual popularity of an album over the week. That would also put an end to all those pointless number ones on the UK Albums Chart — albums that debut at #1 with barely decent physical sales and often disastrous streaming figures. Then the following week, they drop 50 places, or in some cases, fall out of the Top 100 entirely.Streaming is now the main way people consume music. It only makes sense that it should be given much more weight in the UK Albums Chart rankings.This would be an absolutely dreadful approach. The US charts basically encourage artists to add more filler tracks to albums to artificially inflate sales. Given its duration, Taylor Swift's last album would have been #1 here for about 30 weeks triggering a Buzzjack meltdown.
Tuesday at 09:362 days Im not sure how streaming numbers are poorly accounted for , heck half the top albums are greatest hits isn't that basically because of streaming Even sabrinas longevity is mostly by streaming
