Melancholia

Mariah has no official UK store and some shops aren't even stocking her album, so it's not a surprise.

So to you "female market" is what, soppy ballads and not a lot of creative input?

Benson is clearly only a streaming artist not an album artist.

The thing is it's not bland, it's a genuinely great track. It's just been so long now people are wanting new. Sabrina's new one isn't anything special tbh.

Ditto. Adore Kylie but the song is trash and I need her to move away from this sound.

But most of the chart is what has been placed on certain playlists so it's not like people are listening to what they actually like, it's convenience. A shame.

More importance should be made for sales when it comes to the chart. A combination is important of course, but it takes a lot more to actually pay money for music especially a specific track.

This is only a repress of an extremely limited picture disc. Also the shipping date was 14th Feb for the UK, if I recall?

Because streams mean quality?

It would be so fascinating to see what the chart would be if Spotify removed it's playlists.

If more effort gets put into CDs I could see them getting a lift. The price of vinyl is insane and only rising. So some who still enjoy the physical item, will switch.

'Messy' is a great track. I was obsessed with it last summer.

Feels like they do this so down the line they can claim to be behind some of her "rise" to stardom.

You mean ripping off a sound The Tings Tings did in 2008?

Yeah 'Wicked' is outstanding. Truly deserves all the acclaim. I am going again next week.

Really? Most folks have Gold or the albums so this is not desired by many. Especially with the price for the vinyl.

BMG have been incredible for her and have kept her at the top where she belongs. But it's undeniable that things are done on the cheap and it's a shame because the quality control is lacking sometimes. The tour is where I'm hoping money will be spent.

Coldplay are likely gonna put the tour edition and full moon CDs on the UK store next week.

Many of us that ordered the vinyl in June still haven't had them.

There has been a delay in the vinyl (all editions) in a lot of the UK, so I'm unsure what the numbers are gonna be for week 1?

The UK dates seem so sparse after such a long time away from touring.

Allow paid music to count for more than streaming, reflect what people actually have to go out their way to get. Give music it's value back.

So Calvin gets A-listed from the jump? WTF

If the song was good enough it would chart with the standard amount of versions, not that many!
