This surprise release reminds me of when Beyoncé released her self-titled album in 2013; in fact it’s on the same Friday of that month! Expecting huge sales for Taylor’s album but echoing what others have said and don’t think the lead single Willow will pose a threat to Mariah!

Evermore, Taylor Swifts’ ninth studio album will be released tomorrow (11/12)! It is the sister record to the juggernaut that is Folklore and the lead single Willow, will also have a music video released at the same time! Excited fo see how the album will fare next week!

Feeling sad for Shawn as the album is decent.

Vile? I said, in jest as a matter of fact, that I found it hilarious for an Ellie Goulding fan to be talking about underperformance all things considered. This is in contrast to calling someone a ‘dirty straitee’ and offering up conjectures like ‘Shawn would sell more if he came out as gay’. Understand the nuances please. LOL. At least we know that you really do live up to your name!

Really? I haven’t made toxic, disrespectful comments and have yet to speculate on someone’s sexuality! This forum really has started to attract some abhorrent individuals.

Since when is it okay to call straight people ‘dirty’? You are horrendous!

What a TOXIC comment to make. Disgusting.

An Ellie Goulding fan talking about underperformance. I have to laugh!

Saying he lost 8000 fans is completely redundant and an odd statement to make. It’s like saying Ariana has lost over 20k of fans because Positions debuted with a lot less than Thank U Next; in actuality she is still just as popular... Odd way of speaking. Also Wonder is doing just fine. It should debut with 15-17k sales which is in line with his previous debuts. And like Joseph said, Shawn is a consistent album seller and will do well in the long run. Moreover let’s not forget that the album has produced two top-twenty singles that seem to be doing well on streaming.

I don’t like Mariah and neither think her Christmas song is that good so Alexa getting JG or JB a number one would be something I’d definitely like :)

Yes Mariah’s streams are doing well but let’s remember that it’s THE WEEKEND so streaming of Christmas songs is more bountiful. I still think and hope Ariana clinches a 7th week at the top.

Shawn Mendes’ last released an album in 2018; the eponymous record opened at number three, with first-week sales of 23,419.

Absolutely love Shawn’s latest record. The production is rich and though some lyrics are not without some ambiguity and vapidity, the album is gorgeous to listen to on these cold December nights. Hoping for a solid debut for Shawn.

I can see COCO doing well in Jan!

Six weeks for Positions! Fantastic! And the second single 34+35 seems to be climbing up the charts too! This era is turning out well for Ms. Grande!

Which equates to around 1,200 sales... so the margins aren't close enough to be hypothesising that.

IMO, there is absolutely no chance that will happen!

Here we go... Mariah vs. Ariana

Why are Little Mix's team so incompetent? They could have nabbed the number one spot last week if they discounted SM on iTunes and put some physical CD's up for sale...

Doubt it.

I do wonder when Dua will release the lead from Future Nostalgia: Side B? Maybe Jan/Feb time?

It did well regardless but yes would have loved it to peak top-twenty.

The dream would it be to surge to number on the Jan 1st 2021 chartshow.

Lovely hold for the gorgeous and talented Dula Peep

FYI they are also playing the censored version on Alexa.
