Friday Chart Predictions (Wed Update + Top 5 Sales)
The last one didn't exactly do brilliantly. Sure, it went to number one, but it hasn't even gone Silver yet - whereas all of his studio albums from the last 20 years have a certification of some sort. 'The Balcony' was a pretty consistent seller throughout 2015 though - never higher than #16 for the whole year yet outsold quite a lot of number one albums too (Iron Maiden, Imagine Dragons, Stereophonics... - the list goes on to more than 15 of them interestingly.)

New Release Schedule: Friday 13 May
That's exactly what I thought when I spotted it on Amazon. Also, whilst I remember, Let's Eat Grandma are releasing their album I, Gemini on June 17th.

Friday Chart Predictions (Thurs Update + Top 5 Sales)
The OCC must be combining 'Music Complete' with 'Complete Music' then... That's interesting. Then again, 'Complete Music' has the same track-listing spread across two discs (albeit containing extended mixes in place of the originals). Perhaps it has something to do with the fact it comes with a download code for the original album?

Radiohead sold 16k last night according to @MintRoyale. James Blake and Anohni are at 13 and 14 (in that order), and they've apparently sold the exact same amount. As for singles - Justin Timberlake is at 3, Ariana is 30 and Dua Lipa is 37.

Also, not really any info from Mint Royale today (as of course someone would've posted any) but he has tweeted this regarding Dua Lipa: "Surprisingly all that Dua Lipa preorder tweeting doesn't seem to have enticed people to buy a song they hadn't heard at the time after all."

Friday Chart Predictions (Monday Update + Top 5 Sales)
Both of his previous albums went Top 10, so I have no doubt that this one will with ease. Top 5 would be nice, though.
