I’m not sure, I can see them selling at least 10k CDs

Agree I can see them shifting a lot - if they done 10k that would be around #36 - I just think by that point streams and downloads will have faded away, of course they could throw out some remixes etc., which could add another 1k or so.

However Streaming could have picked up and it be doing really well

You just never know. I didn't even think would ever get Kylie and Madge together on a record, let alone singing in a Dutch nightclub together lol

Who knows what is next!!!

I think an additional download this week would help it try and keep top 40

I think it'll have no problem staying top 40, it's 7 places higher than 'Bring Your Love' and 10 places higher than 'Danceteria' at this stage. I do really think it'll be much higher when the physicals drop.

From Say Hey forum: Monday Midweeks

15 (NEW) Madonna & Kylie

Sales: 4978 (994 sales yesterday) 994 was

the 73rd biggest seller of the day.

It needs about 9k for a top 40........ so 4 days about 1000 sales a day..... going to be close but they should be able to track it to a top 40 place now.

Uk Itunes

2,4, 49,56 a few trickle of buys coming through for the other versions of Love Sensation

I’m sticking with not downloading until the CDs are shipped, unless they do something this week it won’t stay top 40 at that rate.

I've had a somewhat busy weekend, I'm guessing no appearance on Spotify and it hasn't shown any activity on Apple?

Correct

I cant really see it been any higher than Top 50 at the very best but im still happy once it goes Top 75.

There must be a reason why it is not being added to even some of the smaller playlists this week. Even Kylie team has not added it to her Spotify Playlists etc. That is highly strange so lets see

Its either tactical somehow, or something else is coming we don't know about or just got a certain strategy that has been paid for in advance etc

I hope it does well for her just because it's Kylie. I do think it is well below what she is capable of though and extremely forgettable.

Drops out Amazon Music trending chart.

I think it needs another download to secure a top 40 spot as 4000 sales in 4 days for a heavily downloaded position is a lot to try and do

yeah think it might just be outside the top 40 without

They could release an instrumental or something and stick the radio edit on the end of it for extra streaming etc.

I thought the original CD listing for the singles said they would be in plastic covers and then got changed.

Someone contacted them and they confirmed that the CDs had changed to card sleeves and the track listing had been updated which indicates to me that they are not ready/not even started production yet so could see them appearing mid to late September rather than at the start.

I would think more physicals are on the way in addition though not sure about the 3 physicals rule, the CD counts as 1 or 3 variants ? I am guessing the later.

They are still building pre orders and then will make a batch I would think

The CDs count as 3 variants - the way around it is to officially discontinue them if they want to add another format.

They’ve restocked the US CD which was sold out on the Madonna site so guessing they are printing a ton.

Yep. i guess limited edition. Sell a load of Cheap CDs, discontinue and then add a Vinyl etc on sale (this won't be 1.99 though hahah)

Would be nice to get a 7” however not convinced we will - Warners didn’t do it for the lead with Sabrina (who probably would have shifted a ton on her name alone) or Denceteria.

Well there was reportly a 7" edit on the CD but that got changed so maybe it will appear.

i do feel there is more to come and am not defeatist yet.
