Stan Twitter is definitely having a meltdown that they can't use Spotify numbers to drag artists or uplift their faves.

He’s had a couple of hits off this album but I’m not sure how big a fanbase he has to multi-buy formats. I’m going to say somewhere close to his last album and say 60-70k or so. Not a bomb by any means but he’s way past his commercial peak.

Streams aren’t really counted in the first set of mids, it’s mostly iTunes/physical sales and non-Spotify streams.

Does Perrie have physicals this week?

The Maxipads have really abandoned her considering the UK is one of Ava's biggest markets.

It's a shame Jade's team insist on releasing her album in a super competitive week in September (and long after the hype has died). The release schedule is pretty barren with a low threshold to hit the top spot, could have been an easy #1 for her.

Shocked at Renee selling so well. Didn’t realise she had any sort of fanbase.

What in the ChatGPT is this.

Nope, RDJ doesn’t appear at all.

They are hunting demons, not dreams ☠️

Impressive to see CMAT so high up, it feels like she's on the verge of blowing up. She's been big in Ireland for some time now but could get a UK hit soon the way things are looking.

Lol what. You really just be making up any old stuff. The album has so few reviews it doesn't even feature on its Wiki page.

I wouldn’t read too much into the TV airplay chart. It means plays have probably gone 40-8-24 or something similar. Music channels are dead, sadly, so the few that are left will have a disproportionate impact on the chart.

Anything that leads to any sort of Jess Glynn resurgence should be banned.

Our population is only 5.3m, even with the North included it's only over 7m.

This would be an absolutely dreadful approach. The US charts basically encourage artists to add more filler tracks to albums to artificially inflate sales. Given its duration, Taylor Swift's last album would have been #1 here for about 30 weeks triggering a Buzzjack meltdown.

How come Hard Fi’s album is back? Assuming some sort of anniversary release?

Curious if Fergie's London Bridge will be pick up on streaming over the next few days. She's just released a new video to promote the Netflix series, Too Much.

Really curious how Kesha’s album will chart. Her placements have been so erratic to say the least.

Interesting to see how well Sabrina's Taste has performed this year vs. Please Please Please, despite the latter having more sales overall.

At least Lewis is likeable and not peddling Mormon music to the masses.

Are (m)any of the tracks featured prominently in the film?

Related to the recent discussion around old tracks clogging up the charts, the Australian charts have announced some interesting rule changes. From Sept 1st, all songs over 2 years old will no longer sit on the main singles chart. Thoughts? The ARIA Charts are changingThe ARIA Charts are changing#ARIACharts

I’m rally surprised Benson isn’t doing better, his profile has increased significantly since he released his debut. Maybe it’ll hang around a bit longer but opening sales look a bit underwhelming.

Unusual to have a week where an album didn’t drop off the chart after being in the Top 10.
