When it was USB sales started to count in the charts?

USBs have been an eligible format for years. Jessie could have quite easily released one too if she wanted to. Most of the bundles look like they had a USB, it's no different to lots of artists including cassettes in all of their bundles really.

Since 2007! So nearly 20 years!

Are they even making any sort of profit if sales are now as low as 6,000?

It feels like they're eeking the franchise on for as long as they can, but like you say how can it really be worth their while?

I did look at their accounts recently and their turnover and profit was actually relatively static year-on-year, albeit sales literally about 80-90% down from their heyday. But I guess the Yearbooks and more lucrative hardback book CDs and vinyls are propping them up for now, and they won't go on forever, so maybe once those are done the brand will be too, and they are limping the numbered series on until the brand ends altogether? I really don't see how the numbered series is making them much if any money anymore though.

Even though I like Rein Me In it is nice to see a change at the top.

I don’t think Now 123 will manage a second week at the top of the compilation chart but I hope it at least outsells 70s soul next week

Absolutely saddened on Jessie.. The difference is Skindred have USB formats.. She will top if USBs are not in the volume

Not necessarily… if Skindred did not sell USBs, the purchasers of that item may have bought another format instead.

Almost 2k sales margin there is almost close alresdy

Great consistency for Jessie ware over the years. Does anyone know if other British female artists had six top 10 albums on the trot from their debut?

Little Mix have! But I assume you mean solo females… 🫣

2012: #5 - Devotion - 9,319

2014: #9 - Tough Love - 10,684

2017: #7 - Glasshouse - 8,448

2020: #3 - What’s Your Pleasure - 7,667

2023: #3 - That! Feels Good - 11,988

2026: #2 - Superbloom - 18,582

By far and away Jessie’s biggest opening sales. The chart battle definitely helped, but makes the disappointment of missing the #1 spot a bit sweeter.

Also, the fact WYP opened with the lowest figures feels like a hate crime.

Quite weird that the worse her streams are, the bigger opening sales she gets. I Could Get Used to This (the most popular track) has done 3 million on Spotify in 3 months.

At least Free Yourself was an a tiny hit from the last album, nothing this time around.

Only #30 on the physical chart so either they haven't all shipped, or they didn't sell many
