Lol no Ed's older single out performing his newer single!

That's because it's considerably better!!

I haven't listened to the new one more than once

That also happened with the first two.

So there is some hope for him to go top 10 with it then!? I hope so I really like it, grows on me every time I hear it!

Yes and no , azizam debuted and stayed top 10 till acr, old phone debuted and peaked at 17 never got above azizam, sapphire debuted at 9 before peaking at 5

Drive was a soundtrack that went top 50 then fell downwards

So really anything can happen 🤣

Ew at Golden extending its lead from Chappell and hoping that Cigarettes & Alcohol can re-enter

Shame drive didn’t do much for Ed, it’s brilliant, the best he’s put out in years! Wish it was part of the album, brilliant song

Same low key hope it gets snuck onto a deluxe version but doubt it

Wondering why Jonas Brothers aren’t showing at all. Doesn’t make sense given their past performance and the current sales climate. Wondering if there are any purchase deals that have potentially resulted in some sales being ineligible?

Otherwise I have noticed the album on Spotify is listed under Jonas Brothers and each of their solo pages. Potentially affected how the album is treated if this is something that has carried over into how sales are reported to the OCC and this is considered a compilation?

Hopefully will show up by Fridays chart or we get an explanation what has happened in the sales report.

Not sure why not top 100 but the album is not selling well. They lost a lot of support after the Sophie Turner breakup

Not to be that person but give it a few listens , that was my opinion on first listen, sapphire is still significantly better though

I didn't think they was that big over in the UK?

Their singles performance is very hit and miss, but all of their albums have decent chart peaks. Their last one in 2023 got to #3, so to go from that to not even charting seems suspicious.

Could be the core fan base has lost interest for reasons mentioned in this thread or that most people don’t realise they have put something out. Either way, would be quite the flop compared to past performance if it is a case of very poor sales rather than exclusion from the main chart/ineligible sales affecting performance.

Lots of

Producers and songwriters involved

So surprising the label

Is not prioritizing and pushing this

The investment must ve been huge

Not only that, less than a year ago they had two nights at the O2 arena as well!

Since Monday's mids it has not made sense to me that they're not even top 100, there's definitely something at play.

I'm confused about how Jonas Brothers are performing too! If it's really just the case that it's selling that badly, it's a shocker. I feel like just about anyone can make the Top 100 these days! So for an act whose last two albums reached #2 and #3, I find it really hard to believe that an "off" performance from them wouldn't at least result in something like low Top 40? Missing the Top 100 to the extent of not even appearing in the Monday midweeks is extreme. Shrug!

how much do you need to be top 100 in albums in the Mon mids? 500 copies?

They did only release the deluxe version on Tuesday maybe that was always the plan or maybe the sales were bad they had to do something. Not that it has much more than the original. Two more songs and one is an acoustic of a song already there so bizarrely pointless but it seemed to get some sales

Id assume so because usually by weeks end 2000 is enough sometimes less

That was probably more focused on the US charts anyway.

True but sales there probably not amazing either. I suspect they’ll show up today between 50-100
