Nah I think it’ll be something like this: $l*t (vault) - #5 Style - #9 Say Don’t Go (vault) - #10

This album can be compared to evermore by Taylor Swift which also had no real single/promotion. Evermore did do essentially half of folklore everywhere, and she came back with midnights. Don’t count Ed out next. PS I know evermore has done better worldwide but it was still a big decline from folklore in terms of commercial success

Interesting now. Physicals wise she will blow him out the water, but she will need to be ahead by at least 2x by the Monday update as his streaming numbers will be consistent and very high, whilst her pre orders will also be high but sales will plummet. I imagine drake will get around 40-50k

Did Griff manage to re enter the top 200 from Taylor promoting her song on her insta?

Burna boy and Dave, people always underestimate U.K. rap and the streaming power of Dave.

Looking at the trajectory looks like Karma is going to return to the charts as the third charting song, it seems to be remaining stable, don’t think it’ll be ACR for at least 3 weeks as I reckon it increased this week with the tour pre sale.

I would say ‘Mine’ being 50k ahead of enchanted on release date when the data shows the vast majority streamed the album through in order throughout the day (showed by placement of songs) and then suddenly after release day ‘Enchanted’ being ahead Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and remaining a lot more stable (Mine dropping 20+ spots), shows that Enchanted is being chosen to listened to more. Release date numbers are not representative. Purely track listing order, if mine was ahead of enchanted now I’d concede.

No issue with Mine I like it, but it’s weighted higher in streaming as are all of the songs at the beginning of the track list for people who start the album and not finish it, I’d prefer it to be based off people choosing to listen to a song. That’s just a fact as well looking at the data of streaming for each big album release, it’s always weighted and the first song on the track list is always in the top 2 songs. Enchanted is the true higher streams

Mine is about 24k Spotify streams ahead with two days left (so far Enchanted only closing about 10k a day), Enchanted is also behind on Amazon. Will be very close

Looking like Mine will end up being the third charted song just solely because it’s the first song rather than its popularity, same happened with Lavendar Haze. Shame as clearly Enchanted is more popular and more chosen to be streamed (which is why it’s overtaken, but a 50k lead on Spotify on the first day doesn’t seem to be looking to be caught)

Best is I Don’t Care, I think it’s a good pop song. I’ve ignored the sasuage roll song because it’s ridiculous but excluding that Perfect really annoys me and I can’t explain why

Shocked Sia’s Cheap Thrills is #1 for 2015

It’s a shame that shake it off and blank space would both be #1 hits had she not removed her discography from Spotify. I remember her being #1 on the sales chart by a big lead but had obviously zero streams to add. Likewise style would be top 10 and wildest dreams would have been top 20.

My guess is: Midnights - 59k The Car - 57k Probably underestimating now, but think first chart update will be very strong because of pre orders and physicals and then it’ll die down massively for both (due to no hit single beforehand, aka casuals not really knowing)

Not sure how to make the poll close after 24 hours if a moderator could do that please

Probably should have made this poll a few days ago, but will open the poll for a day to prevent mid weeks coming in. Talking about total certified sales, not just physicals (including streaming, vinyls, cds, cassettes, downloads) and in the Uk Please vote for just one Arctic Monkeys and one Taylor swift option, don’t cheat and vote for multiple of each. Poll will close in less than 24 hours due to information coming Sunday Started at 30k, as I think due to large fan bases this is the minimum either could sell, as well as not going above 90k in individual brackets as that would be a lot in current climates

Think Years & Years could win it! :D
