I'd guess it will more likely sell up to 3000. The CDs were much cheaper and only sold 11000 with three versions - most people bought multiple copies so i'd say there might have been less than 4000 individuals purchasing the CDs. I haven't gone for it yet as £15 plus postage for a 7" is steep - if it was a 12" with more tracks I probably would buy it.

Just nonsense. If people buy a record its much more of a genuine hit than if people accidentally play it because its on a paid for Playlist. Playlists should be excluded from chart figures and only paid for single chosen streams should count. This is the reason hardly anyone has heard of the new longest number one single in the UK - they may have heard it on a playlist but they never chose to listen to it and wouldn't seek it out otherwise. Streaming is in no way a barometer of popular songs, merely what songs are on the most Playlists and how high up they are. If artists want to bite back by releasing CDs that fans might collect - good for them. Until the streaming rules are sorted its all fair game.

WOW - that's crazy low - you would think with the fans for both Madonna and Kylie who will be buying multiple versions separately, it would be a lot higher. Come on guys!!

So if we look at last week's sales - only X should stay top 40. Would still be great. I'm just happy to have them all on vinyl - I just need Abbey Road Sessions really.

I didn't know this! I've just checked my Official Singles Chart The Nineties book against the OCC charts for that week and there are loads of different places starting with Kim Mazelle and Jocelyn Brown with No More Tears downgraded from a new entry at 15 to 18. Not sure how this could be changed from 1994 stats at the time

Sorry - i'm talking about the First Week Album Sales at 86,000!

I think the Boombox figures are wrong....

two decades

So bloody happy!!! Listening to this chart (for the first time in years) has taken me back to the 80s/90s!!! 8 number 1s - didn't see that coming in 2025! Well done Queen Kylie xxx

It still annoys me that they have replaced Kylie's Santa Baby with Eartha Kitt's original version on the playlists. It was never a hit in the UK whereas Kylie's was and could be doing much better annually at Christmas...

It makes a change from Spotify fixing stuff. If you don't get (high) on the Spotify playlists you wont have a hit. Kylie is playing the game in the streaming era. She is using Spotify tactics on Amazon. Really pleased to see it. I wish we were back in the days of only physical sales counting when we had 1 or 2 CD singles, a 7inch and a 12 inch and cassette...

Same. I don't think we can be complacent and assume she has it yet. Most fans will have already downloaded and bought - so the sales will be lower for Wednesday and Thursday. She is only on Amazon for streams and Wham are top on there as well as other platforms. Kylie even went down a place from 4 to 5 on the Amazon chart. So it could still be very close. I pray she gets it but i'm not counting my chickens!

XMAS is hardly rubbish. It's a good catchy Christmas song with a great video and some easy choreography. You'd struggle to name any Christmas songs that people don't think are naff outside of Christmas - especially the classics that were even naffer back when they were first released!

Would blow my mind if Kylie gets it but I wouldn't be surprised at Spotify trying to ruin it and prevent an Amazon exclusive from making headlines. Crossing everything for Kylie and an 8th Number 1 and first XMAS number 1!

Isn't this a Parlophone release ? - so not down to BMG who smashed it with her last 5 albums!

Bought mine - make sure you download it because I heard it doesn't count for the charts unless you do! (Praying and crossing everything as I heard Kylie is now on 17.6K and Olivia has jumped again to 15K!!!)

Olivia added similar last week between Monday and Wednesday and then added around 8000 to end up at 20K. Kylie has only added 1500 between Monday and Wednesday, so doesn't look like adding much more unless the pop-up sales are not yet counted. She needs another 3500-4000 maybe more to secure Number 1. It will be so annoying if she loses out on an 11th Number 1!

We need a campaign for Kylie to be Xmas number 1 if anyone! She has never been Christmas number one - would be amazing for her and also give her a deserved 8th Number 1, given all the Numbers 2 near misses!

Can we have a list for just pure sales figures? ie no streaming included

I think its a shame that Liam fans didn't support his album LP1 and his singles but bought and streamed the One Direction ones.

Hoping Kylie will do over 70,000. I think her streams will be better than Disco and she's had better publicity this time with two smash singles and BBC Radio 2 in the Park.

What's the sales for number 4?

I'd be interested to know the actual sales figures of both albums - ie excluding streaming sales

I don't want to open up a huge debate but I found Red (Taylor's Version)'s sales very suspicious. It sold huge for a re-recording - actually sold more first week than the original. Who would buy it who already had the original? If it's her fans - why did they not buy her Fearless album or recent new albums? Fearless (Taylor's Version) only sold 21,000 - so Red at 72,300 sold more than three times that. Her previous original albums sold far less - Folklore - 37,000 and Evermore - 27,500. Original version of Red - 61,800 Smacks of chart manipulation to me Even her other original albums sold less or not much more (when sales were higher) 1989 - 90,000 Reputation - 83,600 Lover - 53,000 I would have expected her version of Red to sell less than Lover. Seems like Abba should have had a second week at number 1

What's ironic is that Little Mix themselves are really sweet and lovely and totally against bullying etc. It appears that they are fans of Kylie too...(Jade posted something about best concert ever at Kylie's Golden)
