I will say, though, that watching a series of held back releases debut in high positions on a weekly basis is a lot more exciting to watch. It's what drew me into the UK charts in the first place. But I realize that my personal enjoyment isn't the purpose behind the chart's existence. :P

OA/OS is the norm in literally every other country in the world and seems to work just fine. I don't see why the UK needs to be any different. Held back releases may attain higher chart peaks, but it's nothing more than chart manipulation to make hits appear bigger than they actually are (just my opinion).

I feel like David Zowie would be more this year's Secondcity :P

I'll say a minimum of 500k; with a good chance of surpassing Progress for the fastest selling album of the decade. Her hype is enormous right now.
