I get the aesthetic, but what an awful album cover!

Iceman is the album people were waiting for, so presumably that one’ll get the most streams initially. Will be interesting to see how they do though - this is A LOT of new music at once.

Daniel Caesar and Myles Smith both getting two certifications on the same week is a strange coincidence.

RAYE, Niall, and FLO - in that order - for the first week. Just RAYE for the second week.

Sounding better after a few listens, but I was also expecting a more obvious radio hit based on the previews. Getting the #1 album is more important than successive chart hits at this point in any case.

Apologies if someone’s already mentioned this, but I’ve just seen Harry’s team has added a standalone version of American Girls to download on his website: https://store-uk.hstyles.co.uk/products/american-girls-alt-cover-digital-download?variant=51766526443831&fbclid=PAVERFWAQe14FleHRuA2FlbQEwAGFkaWQBqy3WLxxhsXNydGMGYXBwX2lkDzEyNDAyNDU3NDI4NzQxNAABpxkqbQvHzT6XWItDBvchjFjgsWYKSuvVdILyldzEDcWhWRNeBAU8BlVv91bZ_aem_OV5cvx_Cr2YPfeMVP9bxUw I’m here for this debuting at #1. Rein Me In’s had 3 weeks already.

Here for this Dominic Fike (chart) revival! Recent collaboration with Kevin Abstract (as Geezer), Doggy, deserves some attention.

So in the order of the album so far, bar American Girls and Aperture - hope things mix up as the week goes on.

Gorillaz safe for #1 then, hopefully - well deserved.

Huge fan of Dying for You! Also voted Bad Bunny, Charli’s Always Everywhere, and Fred Again/Jamie T.

Charli for #1 - such a great record!

The more I listen, the more I love this album. Always Everywhere, and Dying for You are my highlights - love that they are both on track to chart within the T40 alongside Chains of Love (which sounded great in the film).

Really hope more people seeing Wuthering Heights drives up interest in Charli’s album enough that she can debut at #1, but even #2 will be fantastic given just how strong Olivia’s streaming is at the moment.

I did the exact same thing and got excited thinking it could be a big hit like No Broke Boys! Does nothing for me in any case.

Disappointed that Lily and team haven’t pushed a bit harder for #1, but it’s done so well even without hitting #1.
