It does surprise me that a lot of people haven’t heard of Jack Savoretti. But I guess it’s partly due to lack of success in the singles chart.

His 3 albums between 2015 and 2019 were pretty big - they (well the first two of them) are some of my favourite albums of all time, they hung around the chart for a while, and he was all over TV, selling out arenas.

In fact the reissue of one of his albums included a conversation he had with me at his Wembley Arena show. It was awkward 🤦🏼‍♂️ (feel free to ask me about it). Later I got him to sign a CD for me with the comment that he made to me 🤣

But I feel he lost his way in reverting to ballads, and as a result, lost many fans.

Can only see Alex getting as high as number 2, he would have to sell 30k physicals to get past Rein Me In. Not to mention we don't know how well the new Olivia Rodrigo song will do

Don't forget its record store day on Saturday as well , I dont think she'll have sent enough to challenge for number 1 but given there are supposed to be more than Fortnight dont be to suprised to see Taylor reenter high with Elizabeth Taylor

Not sure who else has a record store exclusive out either

Q: if the single have 5 different vinyl 5 different CD and 5 different USB and a cassette + mp3 and stream. What and how many version will count into chart stat?

What about albums?

I know its been already told but I still didnt catch it.

Thanks in advance

Bad World

Espresso (2 Year Anniversary Edition)

To celebrate the 2-year anniversary of Sabrina Carpenter’s global Grammy award-winning smash “Espresso," our espresso-filled LP format comes with new glitter-board variant sleeve, hand-numbered out...

This oother other hand is not 🤣🤣

That Sabrina was a MUST for me! I was gutted when I missed out on the first ones! £45 for a single track vinyl though is insane! At least this one has a glitter cover haha.

Going by his promo for this one he probably did 🤣

Don't forget to add an extra 12 quid postage bargain right 🤣

Only 3 physical variants count, regardless of the format, for singles. Chappell Roan released 5 vinyl variants of 'The Giver ', 2 of those had their sales excluded.

So in @jszmiles case, you would usually see the highest selling 3 variants out of the 5x vinyl, 5x CD, 5x USB, and cassette (so 13 variants would be excluded), plus all of the MP3 downloads and streams counted as normal.

If the release is staggered, they could potentially allocate sales to other variants on the different weeks though. Examples of this include 'Padam Padam', which had a vinyl released later on (a CD and 2x cassettes had already been released - so one of those would have been "deleted" for chart purposes to allow the vinyl to count), and 'Angel Of My Dreams' which had a later 12" Dreamixes variant released (a CD, 7", and cassette had been released previously).

For albums, I'm not aware of any limitation to the number of variants that can be eligible at any one time!

In Alex Warren and Chappell Roan's cases, I wonder if they were looking to bolster sales in other countries where the same limitations on variants don't apply?

Thats literally what I said 3 formats but you can have multiple variants of each format 🤔

You can't though, you can only have 3 in total (hence why two of Chappell's vinyl variants were excluded)

10/07/2025 Sales Report

Fifteen weeks after debuting and peaking at No.2, The Giver returns to the chart at No.43 (9,460 sales) for Chappell Roan. Still on ACR, it benefits from the release of three chart-eligible seven-inch variants (5,870 sales), but not from two others (1,703 discounted sales).

After his Coachella performance, it is good to see Justin Bieber being a contender for a high re-entry this week.

I mean it’s good I guess but is just adding yet more old songs to an already cluttered chart filled with them.

Last Christmas was the song that I thought of. It has been re-released a couple of times in the past decade, so initially I didn’t think all of the new variants would count - but they did. Older variants were clearly excluded.
