May 22May 22 Team Maisie this week!!!I think Michael Jackson will be too far ahead but hopefully a third top 3 album will be on lock.
May 22May 22 Hope Maisie has done enough for another #1 with florescence! It’s such a brilliant record!
May 22May 22 I think Maisie is going to underperform - she’ll do well on physicals but the 5 singles/buzz tracks she’s released in the build up to this era haven’t troubled the Top 100 and there dosen’t seem to be a ton of hype over the release?

May 23May 23 I think Maisie has a bigger fanbase now than when The Good Witch was released, so florescence might do better week 1 but then collapse? It will be interesting to see
May 23May 23 As it's Big Weekend , no chart show scheduled on Sunday night. I looked at the thread for this time last year - we didn't get any update at all on Radio 1, plus no OCC article on Sunday night - and as it was a Bank Holiday weekend. the first update was on Tuesday. Probably the same this weekend - who knows.
May 23May 23 Think Michael Ball will get the biggest physical sales this week but might not be enough to keep the other Michael from returning to the top
May 23May 23 Looking forward to seeing how Billy Lockett gets on and if he can make the album charts - have been following his journey on insta (his mum gives him weekly updates on how the CD and vinyl have been selling on pre-order 🤣).The last update was 1,453 physical pre-orders, plus 350 download lanyards, he’s also just gone to #1 on iTunes and has some signings this week. Edited May 23May 23 by ___∆___
May 23May 23 Im assuming we will have to suffer a different 3rd track for Drek this week then since still lingering around 😢

This was her last opening week for the good witch 01 20,760 Maisie Peters - The Good Witch [9,475 CDs, 5,286 vinyl, 1,000 cassettes, 1,138 downloads, 3,861 streaming]
May 24May 24 Reminder - no First Look tonight, I'll keep an eye on the OCC site in case something arrives. If Radio 1 do happen to touch on First Look and anyone's listening, feel free to @ me x

May 24May 24 Wow at The Chemical Brothers top 3! Don't think they'll stay that high, but it bodes well for Top 5 on Friday at least.Looks like 'FEVER DREAM' has now gone to ACR. No idea how it got a streaming increase on the week prior to its 3 declines, unless there were some incorrect figures in the Music Week reports - really hope it wasn't an OCC error as that would have cost DARA a Top 20 place. Not sure what's happening with 'Homewrecker' either.
