Omg yes come on Jessie! I've been streaming the album quite a bit so hopefully that helps a bit too! Would love her to get her first #1 album!

Im not sure beauty and a beat is doing enough for number 1 yet 😅

How does this relate to the #1 album? 🧐

Long day read it wrong 🤣

Sadly I'm not massively feeling Jessie's album as much as I'd liked to have but she's long overdue a #1 so I'm definitely rooting for her!

It’s an odd choice for Madonna, surely they should’ve put out the Sabrina one this week to coencide with the coachella performance as people would have been curiosity streaming? But confusing to put out a different song that wasn’t performed

It would've been released over a full day after tracking began. But I think the smart thing wouldve been to officially announce the song at Coachella and put it out on Friday

Yeah but an artist of Madonna calibre, relasing instantly but with only 6 days tracking would of still done better with the hype behind it than waiting at least 6 days and most of the hype being gone by then

I think Jessie will do it (I don't think all her personalised Banquet orders have counted yet...)

Well if it's going to be a fan-driven week 1 peak then yeah that might have been better to attain a higher chart position.

But if it's going to be an actual hit song I don't think it will matter very much in the long run. Songs like I'm Good by David Guetta or I Had Some Help by Post Malone just continuously built more and more hype while they were unavailable to stream, rather than the opposite.

Yeah but Madonna is more of a legacy act these days as proven by her back catalogue getting more attention than her "promo single" after her coachella performance

Jessie is going for that #1 album - she’s been live on her insta for hours signing 100s of Banquet albums.

Also Olivia Dean coming with a tour edition of the album in June so expect the album to rack up a few more weeks at #1 in the summer - https://shop.oliviadeano.com/products/the-art-of-loving-uk-eu-tour-edition?fbclid=PAdGRleARVv5NleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAaeAUWfF-h6FWOmWpdiDMR8Kbd2tLlZ9QpijfNtsAuwlHyD5PlS18L39jrEu0g_aem_J2A71Pn2QclXgvfR6oT3qg&utm_id=97760_v0_s00_e0_tv6_a1dennh77s9g7a

That's not really a tour edition, that's just a variant of her album with a new cover and a new transparent vinyl.

But yeah she will definitely get again good sales from it.

She undoubtedly is, I don't think that can be denied but to be fair Like a Prayer was performed and the song she's released wasn't.

It’s not from her album! A lot of artists put effort into their bodies of work to be crafted, why would she put Sam fenders song onto her album! It’s not like she needs the streaming help to tag it on anyways the whole album streams well but it’s not part of the record so why should she add it

It’s a duet and the song probably wouldn’t have reached number 1 if he didn’t do a duet version

They might have co billing but its still very much his song and his creation, she was brought in afterwards

The production still sounds amazing especially out in a club when it comes on!

The mix with Milkshake by Kelis at clubs is great too! ❤️ 🕺
