No Sleeep

Not gonna lie I was hoping for a little higher from Beyoncé, can’t see her making top 10 this week now

Has she? :huh: It hasn’t bothered the top 200, which it likely would’ve done with a traditional Friday release

Trust her to find the one other artist who insists on releasing on the worst day possible

It was smart of him to price it at £3.99, tbh more artists should make that the standard price. For the minuscule amount of downloads even huge albums are going to receive, why not?

Honestly I want to give her team a shake. They probably now just think “well it worked for Padam!” :arrr:

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
