No Sleeep

I’m shocked Taylor isn’t #1 from streams alone. This feels like a sign that the wheels are finally (gloriously) coming off

Love to see it collecting certifications!

I did too, I only ordered last night

A completely unrelated song and album named Danceteria charting in the same week!

So if they can get the physicals out in time are we looking at another Madonna top 10!?

If Hilary Duff can go top 5 I’m pretty sure the Sugababes can too! It’s their first real album in such a long time. It is very difficult to predict albums nowadays though, you get some random indie acts you’ve never heard of go #1 with 20k first week then big names like Miley and Ellie completely flopping.

Terrible for Miley, I thought she’d benefit from streaming more than the other new releases as the week went on but looks like she’ll miss top 10

Would Nicole Kidman be the first artist with a #1 hit to have another #1 named after her?

It is very odd! I can’t speak for anybody else but nothing I heard pre-release excited me, it felt like a pretty big departure from her previous work. On Wires was very meh. I listened to the first half of the album and only Versailles stood out to me.

That would be incredible! I imagine Charli fans aren’t as big on physicals as Kylie’s, but there could be some hype from the VMAs and much higher streams at least initially I’d imagine.

That’s a really good hold for Practical Magic

Just checked and it’s her first studio album to be certified there since MDNA! Hopefully we have Italy and France certifications coming soon

I wonder if it’ll be able to get a new peak with how low sales are currently

Not a great start for Miley on such a quiet week. I don't understand why her fanbase doesn't buy albums? Or maybe her hardcore fanbase just isn't as big as you would think.

I was hoping Miley could go #1 with how low sales are but her last album only did 7.6k and I don’t think there’s much more hype for this one

Many more to come I’m sure!

I really enjoyed this too! The original is one of my favourite movies ever, so I obviously can't say it matched that, and it did have a different vibe but that's to be expected after three decades (!). I feel like Nicole and Sandra really slipped back into their roles as if they'd never left though. I can't wait to watch this again already, I might have to see it again before it leaves. My only complaint really is the soundtrack could've been a bit more carefully curated, the original absolutely nailed that

Yes that is what I meant! Hopefully we have a deluxe or remix album coming

Oh I’m just hoping we get a few random boosts to speed up the progression to Gold, I can’t handle another Madame X 4 year trek

First Brittany Murphy, now Nicole Kidman, which Happy Feet star is next to have a song named after them this year? Miriam Margolyes?

Interesting that artists like Sam and Ellie are struggling on the albums chart but artists who never reached the heights they did like Natalie Imburglia, Bananarama, Louise (and countless others some of whom I didn’t even know existed) are all doing better than they did even in their peaks. I know it’s not a shock that artists who relied on radio and the general public for hits and didn’t connect with a certain niche (gay men, rock fans etc.) struggle on a fanbase-driven chart, but it still is surprising to see someone like Natalie Imbruglia outselling Ellie Goulding. Then some of my favourites who are somewhat known names, like Sara Bareilles, can’t even make the midweek chart with their new albums! It feels almost random whose albums chart well and whose doesn’t.

Eh, it doesn’t sound like a hit to me

I’m surprised Miley is straight in at A-list considering how badly her last album did and the new one doesn’t sound much more commercial so far

Praying they overguesstimate Dolly’s Thursday sales!

At least it would be iconic as the only song to ever go #1-out never to be seen again! (To my knowledge)
