Yes I don’t think the fanbase will be getting excited for a Top 5 as that’s almost a guarantee - also this is totally different from PP which was a natural/surprise hit rather than an Alexa one. Everyone will start rallying if a #1 looks like a possibility.

They’ve definitely made a lot more - I’d say XMAS physicals won’t be disappearing anytime soon unless there is a super tight race for #1 and SH whip us all into a mass buying frenzy 🤣🤣

They do seem low but we had 5 different versions of the CD for T2, and 2 for T1 along with the HMV signed inserts and all the signed CD covers she done so I guess they were overly inflated. The cassette trend appears to be dropping off too seeing as we’ve only got 1 for this album versus the bundle they usually throw out at us.

Vinyl seems to be getting wheeled out for all the Christmas singles now - I’m sure it’s only a matter of time.

Parlophone/Team Kylie must be pretty confident with that lead - they haven’t rushed to get the excess shop vinyl online or done a mass social media push today.

I’m sure Parlophone were aware, Kylie seems to be heavily involved in her releases so maybe she had the final say on the tracklist? It’s a shame as KC trickle sells and has a small spike each Christmas so to split that away from the new version is definitely a missed opportunity, I’m guessing overall they and Kylie won’t care too much as they’ll have the ‘#1 album’ headline.

That seems to be what she generally sells - most of her physical singles are limited to 5k globally and around 3.5-4k of those seem to be the UK.

I didn’t think he would challenge - he’s ‘only’ released 3 formats (CD and 2 x vinyl) and no signed bundles etc., and the vinyl is selling for around £35-40.

Ah this! Miss the days of the Top 10 shifting 100k during the Christmas rush!

Those prices are normal for her releases though - the recent 7” vinyl singles have been £10 and £4.50 postage on her website so £12.99 from Amazon is cheaper, same for the CD singles which were £5 and £3 delivery on her website. The fan sales will remain the same (about 4k) - just depends if casuals will pick them up at that price, but I’ve said it before physical singles are a defunct format and made for fans and collectors so regardless of price point if it’s not something people want then I don’t think charging £7 or £13 for a 7” vinyl makes much difference 🤷🏻‍♂️

Was so hoping for a re-entry! But over the moon her 11th #1 album is on the way!

Not sure she’s stealing them - Amazon are spamming both rather than one over the other.

Honestly this - the fact we’re going to see a 2nd Top 10 when I didn’t think she’d be troubling the Top 40 singles chart again is amazing.
