No Sleeep

I was hoping for better from Usher’s album :(

On Spotify now

Surprised it didn’t show up in the UK top 200 at all tbh

Really disappointing but that’s what they get for releasing on a Wednesday. So stupid

Why is When I Was Your Man ineligible but not Fast Car or Every Breath You Take?

I meant today’s streams with the NMF effect

I’m kinda anxious to see how it did on Spotify today. I hope a download campaign takes off, the first week is always likely to be the peak, I know Padam obviously bucked that trend but that’s the exception!

That’s definitely what’s happening, which sucks because the Ain’t it Funny remix is NOT a remix! Nothing in common with the original song

#2 on NMF is amazing! If only everyone saved their downloads for this week <_<

Need everyone to stop downloading until Friday!!

I’m a massive Mariah fan and own every album and even I’m not bothering with this one, it’s just too expensive

That’s pretty depressing!

I have a newfound appreciation for this album! Loving Island and Thousand Miles, those kind of passed me by on my initial listens. It’s a much better album than I gave it credit for

That is a very very short time between albums though? It’s similar to Rihanna from 2005-2012 except with the way streaming works, those songs never really go away - look at Cruel Summer! When Dua started the Future Nostalgia era, Taylor had just released Lover, by the time it finished she was almost onto Midnights - 4 albums (and 2 TVs) later! It’s an excessive amount of music to be putting out and you really can’t discount the TVs as they’re made up of so many new/“unreleased” tracks. I mean it’s clearly working for her but personally, I AM TIRED!

To be fair 99% of artists don’t own their masters, that’s kind of the trade-off when you sign a record deal!

Hard to know without access to charts beyond the top 100! The biggest fall that I know of is Three Lions, 1-97

It joins: Bad Girl You Must Love Me Drowned World/Substitute for Love In the #10 club

This week also marks 40 years since Madonna’s first top 10 with Holiday, it couldn’t be any more perfect. I can’t believe Popular finally got there are just falling short so many times! This second chart run feels miraculous :lol: A #11 peak twice would’ve been so frustrating as a Madonna fan. It feels like Stick Season has been at #1 so much longer than 5 weeks

Fingers crossed! I’m so nervous lol

Well I’ve downloaded 5 more copies, considering 5 more. I’d hate myself if she missed out by a few :P

I found it pretty uncalled for of them to try and downplay Madonna’s achievements and quite sexist to compare her to every other prominent female artist of the 90s… the conversation (which was unnecessary in the first place) was about Madonna and Kylie, I don’t see why Celine, Mariah, Whitney, Janet etc. had to be brought into it too. I’m a fan of all of those artists and the constant comparisons are tiresome

Who is being rude? Anyone can post whatever they like but I don’t see why it’s necessary to compare the chart success of pretty much every other female artist who existed in the 90s to Madonna!

Points to a question literally no one asked!

What an odd (and very off-topic) post. You seem pretty obsessed with Madonna :lol:

I hope Popular has done enough to stay top 10 on Friday
