Thank you! I was hoping for Mariah as well, but it is a bit late now and hence quite unlikely to happen :(

Guys, Does anyone know if the new Taylor Swift and Mariah Carey albums will be released on physical CD? Thank you!

I picked option 2, but I think the proper approach would be: everything that has a video (not the lyrics video) and/or is promoting the album (such us pre-album sneak peaks should be considered as singles and should be counted towards the singles chart, everything else should strengthen the poor albums sales. And I would also count 1 stream/track/user/week regardless the number of plays of the track per week. And I would count full plays only, skipped songs should be excluded (the current 30 seconds rule is bit ridiculous).

I'm the opposite, I hate this unstandard-sized paper case. I also don't like the fact that ANTI doesn't contain her singles released last year :(

I went shopping yesterday: Adele - 25 (CD) Janet Jackson - Unbreakable (Digipack CD) Justin Bieber - Purpose [Deluxe Version] (CD)

The Weeknd - Beauty Behind The Madness CD (one of the best albums released this year so far ;)) Taylor Swift - 1989 [Deluxe Version] CD

Btw this global initiative also means that all the new music will be released everywhere on the same day?! No delayed releases in the UK anymore? It would make sense, but if everything stays as it is now, the whole initiative makes no sense.

Thank god I don't live in the UK (I would be way too pissed). With some exceptions (mostly UK acts do that) we have everything on same day when it becomes available somewhere.

These pushback are so stupid. Does it also mean that till the official release date you can download songs from illegal sources legally? ;) [would make sense since they are out everywhere except the UK]

OK, I wasn't right with Maroon 5, but we at least have a new Nr.1!!!! :))) :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

I have a feeling that Funk will slide to #3 next week, and either Wiz Khalifa (most likely) or Maroon 5 will be Nr.1. It will be tight though.

Madonna - Rebel Heart [Deluxe Version] complete my album on iTunes (usually I don't buy albums on iTunes, but since I've already bought the available tracks before, the rest was just 3,59 EUR) Madonna - Rebel Heart [Deluxe Version] CD MediaMarkt Exclusive :) 17.99 EUR

Mariah, of course, even though she's been losing her voice :( I don't even understand, why the Pogues song is considered to be an Xmas song. It's so depressing, but I assume it must be a UK thing :P :heehee:

Haha, same here :) And back then it was really hard to get the charts in full (at least for me), and was almost impossible to get the archive. Currently I save everything in the database on my NAS/Mac :)

I'd announce them on Sunday on R1, but track sales from Friday to Thursday.
