Signed albums are fine, signed singles aren't eligible (unless signed in person at a signing event)

That's a bit odd, but thanks for the clarification.

Wait, do signed albums count for the chart? I thought they were excluded?

Yup literally everyone does the signed albums thes days its more suprising when artists dont

If only Nicola Roberts' vinyl had shipped earlier! It would have been amazing to see if the 1k limited pressings were enough to get her a placement in the first midweeks.

I don’t think it would have appeared - they were limited to 1k globally so lots got sold to fans outside of the UK.

Taylor's team are absolutely gonna be releasing the CDs early, it's not a good look for her if a band with no Wikipedia page beat her to number one. Shame for Keo, it's a cracking album

Its not a good look if she has to bring them forward to beat them either. What should have been a two week stint is now a battle to have just 1 week

Oh bollocks, that's where I was expecting Madonna might have dropped to on Friday - not the next update 😢

I think Lewis Capaldi's shenanigans with 'Pointless' may have prompted that change.

I was getting mixed up between singles chart rules and album chart rules, as clarified above by Joseph.

Oh for gods sake Madonna! I suppose it’s adding basically 0 if it fell from #4 to #15 in one day. Madonna fans need to learn how to download on iTunes again because it’s #18 there, Kylie fans would never allow that to happen when top 10 is in reach.

They consider streaming sales and downloads . We can rely her only to vinyl charts

Ah shit only just saw Keo are number one ❤️❤️❤️

What an amazing achievement for them with their debut LP!

I’m genuinely surprised by the Madonna fans this era - they are being handed all the tools to give Madonna hits but are not going after everything (eg: downloads) to ensure she snatches the best chart placements.

I didn't know she had a vinyl out.

I think it suggest the kylie fans were more of the driving force for the kylie collab

Any updates on Tinashe in the album chart?

We don’t get any more than the top 40 on a Wednesday. So unfortunately, unless some insider has info they want to share, we’re not going to find out where she is until the official chart on Friday!

Edit: OMG IF YOU HAVE THE RESULTS OF WHERE SHE IS ON FRIDAY I HAVE TO CLARIFY THAT IT CAN’T BE POSTED HERE UNTIL IT’S BEEN REVEALED ON FRIDAY!!

Of all time actually.

Why do you think Adele has been so quiet?

I don’t know if it’s that the hardcore fanbase isn’t there anymore or they’re just not savvy enough to know how much downloads can help. All I see on Twitter is people making fun of Madonna fans for not understanding streaming, I WISH that was the case! The younger fans can have all the streaming parties they like and they’d be lucky to contribute 2 sales

It's mad that Keo are on course for a #1 album and yet they don't have a Wikipedia page!

I think part of the problem is that there is only the one version of Danceteria Afterhours on iTunes, no remix, no extended version, no video, just the “single”.
