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?

My 3 Cd have been dispatched, email came through 20 mins ago.

Hopefully there’s a few hundred for each not added yet, like they did with Body Language hahahaha. Doubtful! That’s just under 9k of vinyls sold so far, quite a decent total. Love Sensation’s UK streams about 250,000 then. Perhaps going to reach 8000 sales total by Friday once we factor in missing data, extra downloads and further streams Tuesday-Thursday?

Expect they’ve done well with the blue X vinyl sales in comparison to all the other black vinyl options. X black vinyl probably the lowest seller overall.

HMV had that 10% offer but they’re awaiting stock! Kylie store isn’t showing a bundle. Looks like X could be top 40 but others low top 100 or somewhere in the top 200… streaming means loads of albums picking up 1-2k. What did Body Language manage when it was released on vinyl? I know there was red and black but be interesting to compare.

Shame they don’t have some special digital download deals to accompany each release…I know they’re not chasing chart positions/ sales but one week only store exclusive expanded editions/ instrumentals at £4-5 would add a few hundred sales to each.

KMO not going gold for a while then unless that SH figure is out of date…at least we know it’ll be, at most, 2k to go once the vinyl sales are added. Depending on stock levels an aggressive discount at some point could shift a few more hundred. Surprised Aphrodite is behind Light Years. Not many will have Aphrodite on vinyl.

HOTN

Also the KMO double album is unnecessary as it’s not that long. A quality purchase, I’m pleased I made it, back in 2014.

Those are Thursday streams. 6th August. First full day was the 7th August.

Shame they’ve compromised the vinyl quality. I might buy Light Years, KMO and X black vinyl if they don’t sell out but looking forward to the blue X arriving…bloody Townsend! Aside from TARS my vinyl collection is complete!

Thank you both! Was Aphrodite 180g vinyl or like this new one? My KMO red box one is double vinyl 180g it’s beautiful. Never bought the standalone vinyl that was also released…assuming it was 1 vinyl and not 180g?

Aphrodite vinyl arrived from Amazon….not gatefold and quite flimsy vinyl, the cover is bloody creased too. Think I saw that X is gatefold. Perhaps just the webstore blue one.
