This will be largely a fan driven release in terms of sales. I don’t think it has enough new material for the general public to support greater. It won’t hang around in the upper charts for long but at least it will boost discos overall sales.

Their cover of stay another day has been released today. It’s ok but I prefer the original.

I’m not sure she will. I think she will do similar to Sheeran’s first week sales tbh!

About 200k if the preorders is accurate.

A second to midnight by far! However, I would agree that say something, magic and dance floor dancing are all much better than both new songs.

They have preorders of in excess of 125k so realistically they could sell 250k in the first week.

Sheeran won’t sell 1 million in the first week. His first week sales won’t be anywhere near as big as divide. The market has shrunk considerably and his collaborations album didn’t sell anywhere near divide.

I’ve listened to both tracks. They are ok but the style is very predictable and safe. It just doesn’t excite me this release. The deluxe is £18.99 on Amazon which is just mad.

A strange album reissue. It didn’t exactly do well first time around. 10 tracks on the original which isn’t much these days so would hope for at least 4-5 new tracks on the reissue.

Abba will hopefully break Sheerans run next week. Preorders alone have been massive!

The Dream of Christmas Sleigh Ride Wonderful Christmastime How Christmas Is Supposed To Be (feat Sheridan Smith) This Christmas Come On Christmas My Dear Acquaintance Winter Wonderland (feat. Puppini Sisters) The Colder It Feels (feat Sheku Kanneh-Mason) Merry Christmas Everyone A Child’s Christmas in Wales (feat. Aled Jones) I’ve Got My Love To Keep Me Warm - deluxe only I Believe in Father Christmas - deluxe only In The Bleak Midwinter - deluxe only The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year - deluxe only Album tracklist

I expect this will re-chart inside the T10 but drop quickly after the first week. Mainly fans will support it.

1. Magic 2. Say something 3. Dance floor darling 4. A second to midnight 5. Real groove 6. Kiss of life

I don’t think this is great. It’s more B side. Weakest single by far from Disco to date!

I’m not blown away by it on first listen.

Well, unfortunately it’s a guaranteed cert who will be no1.

Surely, Abba will be no1?

None - I prefer CD.

It will go T5 but their new single hasn’t exactly done well and this could also underperform. Greatest hits tend to be quite redundant in the streaming age.

I don’t mind the new track. Would have preferred something original but it sounds ok.

Leona Lewis - bleeding love

My preferred singles; Got to be certain Hand on your heart Better the devil you know If you were with me now Confide in me Some kind of bliss On a night like this Can’t get you out of my head Slow 2 hearts All the lovers Into the blue Stop me from falling Magic

I like both but I’ve chosen vogue. It’s a brilliant song for the dance floor and absolute classic. Frozen is beautiful too though!

Only 2cd edition. I’d love the extended versions on cd but don’t own a vinyl player!

The reason our cases are so high is because the Tories delayed giving jabs to school children while many other Europeans started vaccinating them before they returned to school. The problem now is a massive increase of cases in schools combined with waning immunity in the community and still a large proportion of younger people who aren’t getting vaccinated. The government is also to blame for removing mitigation measures such as masks, mass testing or passports for large events which are largely in place in many other European countries and complacency which has now set in as a result of mixed messaging. It’s a catalogue of failures one after another which paints a picture of sheer incompetence on a grand scale and they are about to make another mistake by not taking any action to address the problem. Relying solely on getting people vaccinated is not enough while cases are so high. You need a proper track and trace system along with other measures to be reintroduced.
