Could Jorja improve through the week? She's likely to pick up some consistent/low streaming sales/be less front-loaded than most I would think?

Really poor showing from Sam although not surprising.

Fingers crossed "Rein Me In" goes to ACR finally. Might see a much quicker turnover at #1 the following weeks with how close/low sales are.

Since sales keep declining its looking likely that every song that's gets to #1 then will go on like acr the week after considering the forerunners are all at risk of it

Ouch at Sam Smith and Jorja Smith - I would’ve expected T5 and T10, respectively, at minimum.

Westside Cowboy 🙌🙌🙌

Not been this happy to see an album top 3 in the midweeks since Royston Club!

Best new band of the year for me (not that it's a crowded field these days 😥)

Also pleased to see Fontaines hold at 15 from Sunday to Monday. Bodes well for a new highest charting song.

Tangled Up and Hazel eyes are affected by shipping delays.

Not a good week to be called Smith 😬

Monday midweek positions for all of the Girls Aloud reissues so far:

Sound of the Underground: #9

What Will The Neighbours Say?: #10

Chemistry: #15

Tangled Up: #16

So a single place slip since last time much like the difference in positions between the first two!

Shame the trajectory isn't the other way round as I think each of these albums is better than the last.

I agree! Although Chemistry is my personal favourite album I objectively think they got stronger and stronger album on album (then Out of control was their worse one lol)

Hoping Paul Heaton can stay at #1, I'm quite a big fan of Beautiful South, he is a great songwriter.

I'm shocked by how low Sam Smith is, their website was sold out of everything, thought they were going to be challenging for 20k+!

Paul is guaranteed the number 1 with the sales he has.

A polite nudge in here to remember to use Sam Smith's correct pronouns of they/them - I've edited any incorrect posts but it'd be great if a conscious effort could be made by all!

See I f***ing told y’all, can they get this resolved before Friday

Omg I’m getting pissed for Sam, this ain’t right..

 

I knew that 2K number was too low for Sam’s standards

This is not a laughing mister, stop this damn count.

 

Brandon Flowers & Paul should be higher if this the case as well

Are we sure considering it was brought up Sam is literally getting screwed over and not in the manner their used too lol

Sam isnt getting screwed , if its all true and their cds sales havent been added yet they will very likely be added by fridays actual chart this is just an update

I guess we'll find out in the Wednesday update but I can't see them catching up a ~17.5k gap due to shipping delays for some of the CDs/Vinyls? Particularly if those delays have also affected Paul & Brandon which means their totals are even higher. Might mean they have a much better showing though with a top 5 or even 3 debut if the number of items delayed is significant.

Top 3 debut is definitely more respectable, I can accept that but I will not accept Sam potentially debuting out of the top 10 because of people’s incompetence.

Ok, good to know, do they count based on the first day.

I know Sam’s popularity has declined but I can’t believe that 2K overall prediction, they have to done more than that.

Now I have hope 🙏

Sam's album is also under Universal.

Yes, what’s the relevance of this?

Thanks for the question. I think the delays happened to UMG artists. My friend from IG has experienced it when he ordered a music material from Olivia Dean.

Paul is on BBC Breakfast this morning to promote.

Also had an ad on Facebook for DMA'S CD for £5.
