Olivia's sales will easily be 50k I would have thought. You can tell by the pre-orders loads of vinyl's have sold out and already both the CD / Vinyl are charting in the top 100 on Amazon. She has sold out Banquet shows twice and all her other instore gigs are sold out. She'll also have massive streaming.

She'll easily do 5/6/7 times more physical sales than Alex.

Dunno yes he's American but id argue his success is actually bigger in the UK than the US so far

UK always have soft spot for male artists screeching in misery acoustically, see also: Noah Kahan.

I know was trying think of another example but Benson bone and Teddy swims are both Americans too 😅(and id argue more successful here)

time to dust off the old crystal balls again? go on then...

Olivia - #1 (50k? who knows)

Perrie and Robert Plant both top 5 (10-15k)

Doja - top 10

Zara and Mariah - top 20 or thereabouts

Glaive - #1 in my house

A couple of days to go!

I think of all the new albums I'm most looking forward to hearing Doja Cat's! Although I'll be listening to the unreleased Girls Aloud songs first as a priority.

Any more predictions?

I have a bad feeling Mariah will miss the top 40 and maybe even top 100, her UK store is literally non-existent. She’s the kind of artist who really needs multiple variants but the US is clearly her priority

Doja Cat top 5 depends we've only got one pre track (a trend for bigger artists lately) but based off her previous albums and hype dont see how it couldn't perform like her last two projects

I’m probably swimming against the tide a bit but my most anticipated album of the year is also released this week, Getting Killed by Geese🫢

Really hoping that Zara releasing 3 tracks post-album can help boost her as close to the top 10 as possible. The last two have been #12 and #15 respectively and I don't want this to be her lowest performing to date when everything is shaping up to be her best 😓

My probably off base Prediction:

Olivia

Robert

Doja

Sabrina

Ed

Biffy

Zara

Perrie

Oasis

Ed

I have no idea what Olivia's sales will be like but I wouldn't totally rule out Robert Plant, he could definitely be a contender if Olivia doesn't have crazy sales.

As long as perrie goes top 10 I dont care 🤣🤣

Seeing JADE pull out all the stops during her release week, I take back my comment about Perrie out peaking on lesser sales. I think Perrie will be low top 10 now tbh. Above Zara but maybe just by one place or so.

I still think Doja will surprise but she could also just miss top 10…

The only thing I’m certain of is Olivia being number 1. Robert Plant or no Robert Plant, he won’t be a threat.

Her singles have charted too high surely that someone who will have no singles on the top 100 isn't gonna beat her

I think Perrie will land borderline top 5 and Zara maybe top 10 or just outside.

Lots of acts with big singles haven't had big albums. That doesn't matter for Olivia, as she clearly has a big fanbase now, but in general that's not always the case.

Robert Plant will probably sell more than someone like Becky Hill, for example.

So far I've heard Zara Larsson (wall to wall bangers ) and Doja Cat (great stuff on there but a little overlong, may need some time with a few of the tracks)

I should probably mention Olivia Dean currently has her entire album in the top 100 of Apple Music - a platform she does significantly worse on. I think she’s got a chance of getting the entire album top 40 on Spotify tomorrow with Man I Need potentially crossing 1M daily tbh

#1 - Olivia Dean - The Art of Loving (40,000 sales)

#4 - Perrie - Perrie (9,000 sales)

#5 - Doja Cat - Vie (8,500 sales)

#9 - Zara Larsson - Midnight Sun (6,500 sales)

#18 - Mariah Carey - Here for It All (4,000 sales)

#44 - Girls Aloud - Chemistry (2,900 sales)

Midweeks:

#1 - Olivia Dean - The Art of Loving (30,727 sales)

#2 - Perrie - Perrie (10,259 sales)

#4 - Doja Cat - Vie (5,576 sales)

#15 - Girls Aloud - Chemistry

#16 - Mariah Carey - Here for It All

#17 - Zara Larsson - Midnight Sun

I don't think Oliva should have any difficulty exceeding 40,000.

Perrie's already outdone in her Monday midweek what I thought she might do in a whole week!

Doja Cat staying Top 5 looks precarious for her with Sabrina Carpenter and Oasis behind her. Could maybe see Doja ending up at #6 with roughly the amount of sales I predicted.

Hard to say with Girls Aloud but I think we could be seeingit sell lower than 2,900.

I guess Mariah holding on to the Top 20 by the end of the week is looking very unlikely.

And my worst prediction is sadly Zara Larsson 😔
