    It's not in the Top 100 so, sorry, we don't know.

    Our ground is very clay-ey so it's pretty much sodden. Haven't been able to get out to cut the grass. It was lovely here yesterday so I was hoping some more sunny days would dry it out. No chance - it's tipping it down again today :(

    You beat me to it TT - I agree about the figure :dance: Oh my look at the sales for #1 :o
  4. Thanks for bringing them across TT - fabulous :dance:

    Isn't that great news. I knew he'd been doing quite well on ITunes with loads of compilations ahead of him but that's such good news :dance:
  6. He seems to still be doing well on ITunes - he's dropped slightly overnight from #97 to #103 - so still bubbling along.

    Yes there is. When the official chart rundown is given on a Sunday they don't include the compilations, which is why we subtract them and EPs, pre-orders, deluxe versions etc. from the placings on the main chart when seeing how Will is doing. Hover over "Music Charts" to see all the different charts. http://www.officialcharts.com/

    It's different inasmuch as on ITunes they split the charts into genres which gives you an idea of 'like-for-like' but the main album chart is all albums regardless of genre.
  9. I should think anyone would look dishevelled in that driving rain and wind, Chrysalis! Here's a Tweet which sums up his performance nicely: P.S. I can't see what's untidy about him though. He's worn those trousers and shirt throughout the tour but just added a waistcoat :mellow:

    Mine showing him at #97 at the moment but it looks even better on the Pop album chart - #34 (25) :dance:
  11. Loads of Tweets saying it pissed down but how much they enjoyed themselves - just a few:
  12. Out of the playlist on R2 for next week. They've been playing it since the 6th June so not a bad run and I dare say they will play it occasionally along with his other stuff. Just noticed that George Michael has called his new album White Light :P

    Oh yes - I didn't count them. Even better. :D

    Hope Echoes gets another good week this Sunday - just checked ITunes album chart and he's still bubbling around the upper hundreds - #110 at the moment with 15! compilation albums ahead. Why are there so many of them :o

    Bonkers!!! Where DO these people get their ideas from and I do wish someone would tell her exactly WHAT Will is singing about :P and what the song is called :rolleyes:
  16. Thanks sunday - you beat me to it :lol: Good one again. :dance: We aren't in denial, we just don't care and neither does he - but we definitely are adoring :P He has, by his own admission too, been a dick sometimes but he's always known who he is and where he's going. :lol: I said much the same thing after we saw her at Thetford.
  17. Thanks Sunday - saw your post after I did mine . What a great review and totally spot on. Isn't it nice when someone totally 'gets' him :D Yep. And not just those two but jazz too. His 606 Club and Ronnie Scotts gigs totally different again. Had a giggle at this :lol:
  18. Just bringing this over from the other tour thread. http://www.backstagepass.biz/2012/07/gig-r...c.html?spref=tw

    :lol: I notice you copied my post before I corrected it TT. I misread his sales and thought it was 517 not 617 so he's actually sold more than was estimated :dance: Sad that he wasn't supported as much as for Jealousy but it has got to have been his live performances and appearances that have been his best promotion :D Roll on #7 :yahoo: P.S. you only have to see what lack of radio support has done for poor Alex. Some comments I've read claim her songs are rubbish, hence not being supported, but I've seen/heard far worse songs that get played on the radio ad nauseum and ride high in the charts thus getting huge download sales, only to not be able to come back with a second single and piss-poor album sales. But then the way people buy music is totally different nowadays and it seems that some single chart music buyers care nothing for albums, instead opting for cherry picking. And it seems to me that when you see comments about him being washed up/over/not relevant(whatever the hell THAT means) they are most likely coming from some people who only follow what's going on in the singles chart and totally ignoring and/or unaware of what goes on outside of it.

    Thanks sunday. I'm really not that worried about his subsequent singles. Jealousy did the business and was a fabulous ambassador. The fact that Echoes is still trickle selling is a great bonus. He can be justifiably pleased and content that this Album has shaped up so well and he can move on to the next happy. You only have to look at some of the big singles sellers sales with their albums sales - no comparison is there. Made up for him :wub: Martin, if that's the official figure then it's not so far from the estimates - not bad eh :P
  21. A Canadian fan has posted this on Will's FB: :wub:
  22. Just spotted this great review: http://www.backstagepass.biz/2012/07/gig-r...c.html?spref=tw That's what I said the other day TT - the rain didn't affect his performance at all.

    I asked Vidcapper yesterday: His reply: Will's sales: :dance:
  25. That's better than I thought - thanks Sunday :dance:
