Its acceleration to a billion has been remarkable, even without the recent trend on insta etc. It’s finally receiving its flowers for being one of THE standout songs from the early 2000s. Add in the impressive Spotify numbers from the extended version, Peggy Gou, Blue Monday and all the other various versions it’s already on 1.1 billion. Total streams inc all streaming providers will be huge too. YouTube alone will be approaching another billion especially when combining the main video with the other official ones. I hope all involved are receiving good royalties!

If it can hold onto decent streaming and some downloads it could achieve enough for a decent top 100 re entry with the vinyl …say well over 6000 total sales.

Strange ‘remix’ it’s mainly an instrumental.

Well I’m pretty certain the debut sold the most on vinyl, expect 100s of thousands!

Thank you for sharing the comparisons. Does the 2014 KMO total Inc both the red box and separate vinyl? I’m guessing we don’t have access to total vinyl sales just those reported on release week? Doing housework so been playing the latest X Blue and Aphrodite. Aside from my record player seeming to play any vinyl slightly too fast , both sound great.

Only just opened one (the lilac) of the 3, very basic. As you say not bothered that much as it was purely a fan purchase to help it chart. Not ordered a vinyl yet but if I do hopefully it’s more like the tension single vinyls…they are good products. Funny just noticed Maverick symbol on the rear! Didn’t know that record label still existed. Edit…just checked my Madame X Vinyl…Maverick was on that so it’s actually never gone away.

It was never going to stay remotely high without new downloads and no physicals. Streaming is ok but is vastly reduced. Surprised it’s still top 100.

Yes the main version going to hit 1 billion in just over a week. Quite incredible plus Extended, Peggy Gou and Blue Monday mix adding many tens of thousands daily. Glitter silver, white or clear vinyl 25 year anniversary vinyl/ cassette woukd be great. Has it ever been reissued? I actually don’t recall what its original 2001 formats were!

Sales this week will be lower than last so even with vinyls it’ll drop out of the top 40. Streaming has dropped substantially plus the downloads have too. Unless they have further digital versions etc.

Be interesting to see how many vinyl they sell at £20 Inc postage. CD were so cheap. Helps that the vinyl cover is much better so think it’ll sell at least 2k.

KMO could add another 1k vinyls over the next year especially if it’s reduced. Of course depends how many they made and it wouldn’t surprise me if they produced less compared to the others.

As well as us mega fans quite a few fans of both will have bought this release. 11k of CDs is a large amount especially as many would have bought 1 only.

Very true and I think there could have been further lucrative UK / Australia shows too. They underestimated demand which meant the tour went back and forth in the UK rather than be grouped together.

My CDs arrive in an hour or so yesterday it was saying Sunday. How odd they were ‘September’ now released so swiftly. If they’d released them earlier in the week we could have coordinated a much better download campaign to accompany it. Looks as though the chart position going to be significantly better than 25!!!

I expected Aphrodite to be clear 2nd. It’s cheaper and its initial vinyl release was very limited though perhaps the Sainsbury’s LY one was equally limited overall.

I thought the same, managed to find a reference to BSI merch on the order confirmation email, somewhere near the bottom. Otherwise it looked dodgy.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow eeek.

Tomorrow’s chart will be great we’ve no idea what number of CD will be added!

Or me ha ha knew that other midweek was wrong!

The ‘Wednesday’ update doesn’t make sense. In other news my 3 CD are dispatched so hopefully the updates won’t tell us anything anyway as we’ve no idea how many CD are going to be included!

If it were a Thursday update LS would have higher number and the album reissues wouldn’t have held the same positions as they did on Wednesday.

I agree Iain…it looks as though Ryan has shared sales figures to go with Wednesday’s update but has mistakenly put 64 instead of 25 for LS.

Weird because the post on Facebook says Wednesday update and the album chart positions for the reissues are the Wednesday ones. If it were a Thursday update the album chart positions would be lower???

Madonna and Kylie were 25 in the Wednesday update…why is the same Wednesday update with sales figures now showing 64 not 25?
