July 5Jul 5 1 hour ago, Juan Carlos said:No. The initial 29k figure sales was true and, then, it was updated to 34k. I don't know where the rumour of 40k to 45k came from though.Guessing it’s based on what it sold on Saturday multiplied by the amount of days until end of the chart week.
July 6Jul 6 New 32-track version of the album available on iTunes, which includes the instrumentals. And, yes, it's discounted.https://music.apple.com/gb/album/confessions-ii-instrumentals/6787791249

July 6Jul 6 £3.99!!!!!!! That’s absolutely wild! Surely that’s a mistake? Edited July 6Jul 6 by Mr. C. Joel
July 6Jul 6 So anxious to see today’s update!Was going to ask if £3.99 was enough to be chart eligible, the lowest it can be is £3.75, she knows what she’s doing I’d say she’s doing at least 50k this week
July 6Jul 6 I seem to be obsessed with a different song on the album every day. Today it's the turn of 'Bizarre' ❤️
July 6Jul 6 That’s 5 editions of the album I have now. Had to get it at the £3.99 tag what a bargain. Edited July 6Jul 6 by Jordanlee1402
July 6Jul 6 Also this is by no means a critique but does anyone else feel like the OG Confessions album feels like the follow up to this album. Sonically as a whole piece this albums much more like her work from before that era it’s like the vocals of Erotica, the rawness and vulnerability in lyrics of Ray of Light with moments that resemble Music era album tracks. I’m genuinely obsessed with this album, my album of the year so far. Also think the album name was genius in retrospect it’s led to so many people checking out the album. I know she was in a slightly better position and had goodwill but I definitely think the album name attracted more streams and got more people on board. Everything so far this era has just been tick, tick, tick. I’ve prayed for a Madonna era like this in my adult life.

My fav tracks now im getting to know the album are LOVE WITHOUT WORDS and LOVE SENSATION
July 6Jul 6 Does anyone else think that after the absolute BOOM of Danceteria that Read My Lips is a bit lacking and drops the album off a bit before Everything brings it back?

I’m genuinely obsessed with this album, my album of the year so far.I disagree!If Confessions On A Dancefloor is inspired by 70s/80s music, this album is more 90s vibes and so the perfect follow up in my opinion. It does sound similar to some of her 90s music but that works for me because the original Confessions took inspirations from the decades before this!
July 6Jul 6 Does anybody else enjoy the second half of the album more than the first? Fragile, The Test and LES Girl are my favourites on the album
July 6Jul 6 Author I am beginning to think the discounts and big push for sales is related to its performance in the US. I can see Olivia seriously challenging her for the #1 spot so I think the team are getting worried about that.
July 6Jul 6 The OCC have updated to say that she is at No 1 at the moment though no sales are given or any indication of how much. Sienna Spiro " close behind" though this is the OCC so close could be 10k plus behind!
July 6Jul 6 Have to say that the instrumentals album is pretty good, I’m enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would without vocals
