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.

Need people to start streaming Lily Allen properly again to get those numbers up - was expecting an easy #1 with how quick some of the vinyl variants sold out (one was listed as 2k copies).

Thought Sam Fender’s debut would be on this list, but he’s still got 3/13 to go: White Privilege, Leave Fast, and Use (Live). Imagine they can’t be that far off.

Arctic Monkeys’ debut and ‘AM’ spring to mind too, as does George Ezra’s ‘Staying at Tamara’s’. It’d be a pretty interesting list!

Harry feels like a given, but hoping we get Arctics debuting within the T10!

ASAP Rocky for sure! Liking Skye Newman’s new track and Bruno’s too; although a bit bored of Bruno already.

Sombr is #3! That leaves: Alessi Rose Chloe Qisha Florence Road Jim Legxacy Kwn Sasha Keable Skye Newman Jim and Skye seem the most obvious candidates for the final two top 5 positions, but I’m here for someone else claiming one of these spots!

Shortlist: Ellie, Harriet, Fiona, Jade, Amanda Jade said she wanted to be a faithful though, I believe, so least likely. I think it’s Ellie.

Really hope the Djo resurgence encourages people to check out the rest of his discography - Basic Being Basic and Delete Ya from the latest album, in particular, deserve attention.

Thrilled to see RAYE get another #1 with WIMH!

If there’s a chance for Man I Need to get reset, then that. Otherwise expecting Taylor or KPop Demon Hunters to return to #1, though I’ll be streaming RAYE hard and hoping that can get it somehow.
