    The Fetty Wap album will have likely benefited quite a lot by streaming. It's a similar situation in the US I believe, where I recall that it wouldn't have even gone to number one without streams. Still, I have no issue with it going Silver as it's a surprisingly decent album.
  2. Albums Oh Wonder - Oh Wonder Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over the Sea Morrissey - Swords: B-Sides Compilation Birdy - Beautiful Lies (Deluxe - Amazon Exclusive Signed Edition) White Denim - Stiff Neon Neon - Praxis Makes Perfect (Amazon Signed Edition) Technically, I don't have my Birdy and White Denim albums yet due to the bank holiday. I'll probably stream Zayn's album too, and then consider buying it if I like it. Edit: The Neon Neon signed album was a very surprising find, as it was released 3 years ago and anyone would expect all the signed copies to be snapped up straight away! Such was the case with my Birdy pre-order. Also picked up some excellent finds for £6 each in a charity shop in Lincoln today - Blondie's Plastic Letters and Bob Dylan's Self Portrait.

    Saw a 4 star review in this week's NME of this, so I gave it a listen. It really isn't as bad as I was expecting...
  4. When will you be posting the results?

    The HMV signings are supposedly going to be rescheduled when the album comes out, according to what one of the members said in a reply to a fan on Twitter. Somehow, I just can't see that happening...

    Would I be right in thinking that this is just the sales of the 1999 remaster, rather than every sale since 1994? It just occurred to me that 'Let's Dance' got a Silver certification in 2013 for its own 1999 remaster, despite the fact the album already had a Platinum certification from little over 30 years beforehand...

    So I've just looked, and 'Money' is nowhere to be seen on today's Top 100 midweeks... Oops. :rofl:
  8. 'Do It, Try It' sounds really good on first listen. I'm really looking forward to the Beck and Susanne collaborations, and the album as a whole, as it got a 5 star review in this month's Q Magazine. As for the artwork, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Andy Bell and White Denim have the worst album artwork of the year so far, in my opinion at least.
