Blimey that Cardi B effort is a bit of a bop!

I would be delighted if this actually did something in the UK

Delighted to see KEiiNO in the top 100 before it's even been selected as the Norwegian entry!

Forgive my ignorance, but who is Olivia Rodrigo and where has this song come from? Is there any reason that it's climbed so high? Obviously can't be on name power!

1. Steps 3. Miley Cyrus 4. Gary Barlow Suspect that Gary will be leading the pack when it comes to physicals however.

I didn't expect it to set the charts on fire, but Jennifer Lopez not even hitting the top 500 on iTunes on release day is... really quite dreadful.

I presume that AC/DC will walk it, but as for the rest... Paloma - 25-30k Andrea Bocelli - 20-25k Andre Rieu - 10-25k McFly - 15-20k Johnny Cash - 10-20k Sophie Ellis-Bextor <5k I always underestimate Andrea Bocelli and Andre Rieu, so I have no idea... Andrea Bocelli opened with 25k in 2018, Andre Rieu I can't find. Johnny Cash, who knows, at this point every Philharmonic album has surprised me one way or another. Could go any way between #2 and #10, not to forget Kylie, Ariana, Sam, LM and Bruce's next weeks.

Shawn Mendes seems to have really missed the mark with this one - as much as I like the song the fact it hasn't cracked the top 20 officially is a bit of a blow. Sure it's less "commercial" than some of his previous efforts, but even so, 'In My Blood' hit #10 a couple of years back, and Senorita was obviously a huge success only a year ago.

I have no idea how Gary Barlow is going to do. His last album was coming off a #2 hit, this one the lead single didn't even crack the top 100.

I think she'll hit ~20-25k, but be a fair seller in the lead-up to Xmas. I #2 or #3 dependent on what McFly sales are like. Her days (like many others) of scoring double platinum albums are unfortunately behind us I think.

It feels very wrong that 'Levitating' is already more successful than 'Hallucinate' - I genuinely don't understand the public's choices sometimes.

I am truly amazed that LM are ahead of Ariana on iTunes (even though streaming is a different story).

BTS album 'BE' is coming 20th November... suspect that'll be a shoo-in for #1?

Little Mix have just announced that their 6th album will be called 'Confetti' and will be released 6th November. Kylie vs Little Mix it is then! Well well well... I wonder how this will end!

I cannot believe that Calvin /\ Weeknd are only 14 placed above Xtina... in 2020
