Honestly loving this - it’s been on repeat, think I love it so much as it’s a call back to indie Kylie days.

Highly possible as it’s on ACR1 atm!

Looks like they are pushing back the vinyl again too, may as well go for a 17th week if the 16th is on lock 🤣

So pleased American Girls has benefitted so much from his shows - was one of the highlights for me

Streaming seems to be better this week - convinced it’s going to be an upcoming challenger for #1

It’s falling on iTunes (#13) - depends how it holds up on Spotify otherwise I can see it getting pushed out.

The emails sent out have totally cancelled the orders!

Agreed, even if pre-orders were terrible surely it’s better to get the product out there? I remember when they pulled the HRVY album a week before release too and everything was ready to go! (The signed vinyl can be found for £6 on eBay now 🤣)

It was meant to be released on vinyl, CD etc with multiple bundles - they’ve literally pulled it at the last minute! They must have already been pressed this close to release date so it’s mad that they’ve pulled them from his store, plus HMV and Amazon!

This - without variants we’d just have a Top 100 full of streaming greatest hits albums

It’s always been a thing though (appreciate it feels super extreme on albums atm) - In the physical single era you had CD1, CD2 and DVD CD that were available in week 1 for 3 for £3. In the download era you had artists releasing 10 versions. The stans will always multibuy however I think those that do only make up a small % of overall sales - There are Madonna fans buying all 22 but equally there seems to be far more buying 1-2 copies.

Love this!!

Really interested to see Madonna’s sales - there are 22 physical variants and I’ve seen so many unboxings on insta etc., with people getting 10+ copies. Also the fact that some of the physicals are priced decently (£19.99 for the vinyl etc.,) should help.

I thought the 59p price tag on iTunes and the fact sales are low on there would see it be #1 for most of the week but it’s started to fall (currently #9). Not convinced it’ll hold up on Spotify so Apple will need to do all the heavy lifting if it’s going to be a hit

It’s a chart/music forum where that gets discussed. She’s a big act with 2 (3 if you count the compilation) very successful albums and this era so far is not clicking it seems. Also I think this is only the 2nd time I’ve commented on the performance of her singles?

Oft this album is going to be a flop based on what we’re seeing so far.

Wasn’t Bring Your Love also #1 on NMF?

I think it’s going to have really good week 1 figures - isn’t there 21 formats? And a lot of them have been priced decently (vinyl £19.99 etc.,). More interested to see how it holds up after week 1.

UK NMF #10 is decent considering the usual lack of love Spotify give anything Kylie related.

Not convinced RMI will make it - I think ACR will kick in before then. Equally not convinced Last Christmas will either.

Probably one of Kylie’s recent collabs that I’m really enjoying - major repeat play value for me. Pleased they’ve given it the single treatment with a vinyl too - a week in the Top 100 at least would be great.

Glad the RMI vinyl is not being released until Friday - it’s not needed this week!

It’s #62 on iTunes

I’m a fan - indie Kylie ❤️
