Should beat the latter but quite a bit below the former.The album is only 9 tracks which doesn't help in this streaming-dominated world. I don't see a huge amount of variants either and they're all priced full price/no sales etc. The album is quite good so I hope it has legs and sticks around a bit!Silk Sonic wasn't really true Bruno so that makes sense but I genuinely thought he'd do 25-35k easy especially with high profile features / single that's streamed well. It feels like he's been everywhere.

Little Mix still feel fresh because no new girl groups have taken their place, that whole pop star system just doesn’t exist anymore.

Yeah there's the odd megastar kids can still follow, but wasn't the whole world of pop just so wonderful? I thumb through my old issues of Smash Hits and wonder where it all went.

March 4Mar 4 Great to see 'White Keys' looking safe to go top 40 this week after just being denied by the last minute Kate Bush reset last week!Bella gaining on Alex but probably not by enough to get to #2 this week.

March 4Mar 4 Hoping Bruno can at least keep #2 on the albums. I think it should hold up decently enough but I think Bruno would benefit from promotion here and we don’t have that until the tour! However there’s not many males or artists in general what could take such a big gap in solo albums as what Bruno has and still be as high as #2.
March 4Mar 4 Any idea if Twenty One Pilots sneaked back into Top 40 please?(Probably not, but thought I'd ask)
