Both SS and KC are anniversary releases I think? There is probably one new song on the SS album.

Regarding Bieber, Daisies is a good song, the whole album is bit boring but he was probably super high on narcotics when recording it, so...

Scissor Sisters is the 20th Anniversary. The 2LP features hit singles ‘Laura’, ‘Comfortably Numb’, ‘Take Your Mama’, ‘Mary’ and ‘Filthy / Gorgeous’ alongside a plethora of b-sides and rarities. The 3CD also includes a bonus remixes disc.

Kaiser Chiefs-Employment is also the 20th Anniversary:

TO CELEBRATE THE TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THEIR DEBUT ALBUM ‘EMPLOYMENT’ (USUALLY COMMEMORATED WITH THE GIFT OF CHINA), KAISER CHIEFS ARE MAKING THREE NEW EXPANDED ‘CHINA ANNIVERSARY’ FORMATS AVAILABLE. THE 1LP EDITION IS PRESSED ON WHITE VINYL, AND INCLUDES ‘BONUS’ TRACK ‘TAKE MY TEMPERATURE’; THE 2LP SET FEATURES 15 ADDITIONAL TRACKS, INCLUDING A SELECTION OF B-SIDES AND CD SINGLE BONUS TRACKS, PLUS TWO PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED SONGS, EXCLUSIVE TO THIS FORMAT. ON THE 3CD SET, ALONGSIDE THE ORIGINAL ALBUM, THE BAND HAVE ADDED 40 TRACKS, INCLUDING PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED DEMO RECORDINGS, REMIXES, RADIO SESSIONS, AND A SELECTION OF LIVE TRACKS THAT CHART THEIR RAPID RISE FROM SMALL CLUB DATES IN LEEDS, TO FESTIVAL HEADLINE ACT. THE ORIGINAL ALBUM HAS BEEN REMASTERED AT ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS, AND THE BONUS MATERIAL WAS CURATED BY THE BAND FROM THEIR OWN ARCHIVE.

and lol at the Michael Jackson comparison. Somebody hit rock bottom there.

What next, comparing Alex Warren to Leonard Cohen :D :D :D

As a fan of neither Justin nor Alex I can hopefully neutrally say “Daisies” is very comfortably a better song than “Eternity”. Alex seems to be getting more turgid with each single: you don’t need a bigger backing chorus every time.

The OCC article reads as if Alex's album is being combined with Chapter 1 (which is fair, it's basically an extended version)

If he only 3k ahead at this stage im not expecting huge sales, and he might not even be number 1 by week end

But I thought he was getting 15k+ easily from streams...

Ooh wow at Romance! Wish it could be number one

I know maybe there's a lot of missing data 😅 i hope he doesn't do less than 20k overall because according to @Liam Sota that would be a flop

Never thought I’d say this but… come on oasis 🤣🤣

Panic Shack! (at the Disco) at #11?

They're an all-female British rock band! I mostly know them via 6Music.

He will

He must be around 10k

Meaning very very poor physical sales
