9 of the top twelve albums being new entries (plus a reissue) 😮

the 🐐 at #2

Spice Girls at #37 with their £100+ boxset

Hope George can stay top ten, I had my fingers crossed for a top three. Number five to start is pretty good for a live album recorded almost 40 years ago I suppose.

It doesn't get really Xmassy until after Thanksgiving and is all but over on 26 Dec, UK has a far longer Christmas period IMO.

Thanksgiving likely quells it for the US!

Sam Fender down to #46 - could be another John Lewis song to miss the Top 40.

The vinyl and CDs are due to be shipped this week however not sure they’ll be enough to revive it unless they’ve sold masses.

In other news they have the Rein Me In vinyl back up for pre-order - the clear vinyl is due November 20th and Pink vinyl due December 11th so they are attempting to keep it afloat over the Christmas period it seems.

Hoping to see 'Not Over Yet' in the Top 40 this week. Currently at #40.

I don't need to be a psychic to predict Babydoll at number 1 until Last Christmas overtakes it.

Love to see Coming Up Roses top 30.

Why that old one 'Not Over Yet' by Grace is gaining momentum now? I'm not complaining, I love that song.

Shame You Can't Always Get What You Want is flopping at #46. I think it's one of the best Sam Fenders songs to date.

I wonder can it can manage to stay top 100 on Friday,

 

Im absolutly shocked with Kings of Leon in the album chart i was sure they would be number 1 and safely top 2 at worst.

Also in the midweeks, Rein Me In is at number 10 for that 53rd week in the top ten

That massive gap between Wham! and Mariah.

I can’t decide whether 95 for Elton John is a good start or not. It’s a much better start than it usually has, so I will assume it includes both versions (on ACR) as it is the 6th highest classic Christmas song, and it has never peaked that high on the charts.

As the Amazon Exclusive hasn’t really kicked in yet, it will undoubtedly end at least the third highest of the Christmas classics.

Oh, no Shygirl </3 was hoping she'd show up in the update as her previous album made the top 40.

Shame as her new album is brilliant ❤️

she's #93 so probably won't hold until Friday 💔

It’s a bit of a low key release for them. There hasn’t been much promo for it, and they’re all quite slow songs.

It feels a bit like Bastille’s most recent album.

I agree, thought they would easily have the fanbase to be top2. Having listened to it though, it is very mediocre (imo).

Nice to see so many new entries in the midweek albums chart. It's rare to see so many.

Wonder why no one released their albums on Oct 30 and everyone on Nov 6.

£100+ and £200+ box sets, to be strict. The vinyl version looks marvelous

Looking at the Chart Update - I feel ‘Flower In A Hurricane’ could re-enter the top 40 this week. 🤞🏻
