Wasn't in a girl-group was she? Aren't the Eurythmics a female/male duo?

EXACTLY!! Must be quite surreal having THE Mr. Enninful invite her there and perform 'Midnight Cowboy' in front of him!

OMG! Where's Michelle in that image???? Not sure I've ever heard that DC song? Lol. But I quite liked the Notorious one, however I can't bring myself to vote for it lmao. Oops.

I went with Ne-Yo! But I do enjoy both.

Yeah I think they meant members and not albums.

HELP

Ooft! This is nice! At this point, I'd be happy with anywhere in the top 40... 2nd week drops are usually quite lethal if you have little/no streaming presence...

That last bullet point is actually WILD!? WTH??? Incredibly pleased for her but that's INSANE and quite disheartening that there are only 2 former UK girl group members who have peaked top 3?

JADE's sales were enough to bag her the #1 on 17 out of 38 weeks. JADE has the highest debut sales for a British solo female of the year, so far. It's the 27th highest sales of the year for an album, so far. JADE is the 4th biggest debut sales for a solo female album of the year. JADE is the 9th highest selling solo female album of the year. JADE has the highest selling debut album of the year, so far. JADE has the highest charting debut album of the year, so far. Highest sales for a #3 album this year, so far. 2nd highest charting solo album EVER (!) from a former UK girl-group member. (Points #2, #4 & #5 will 100% be overtaken in a couple of weeks by Olivia Dean - but lets celebrate what we can whilst we can!!) But unless I'm missing something incredibly obvious... I think she may have the biggest opening sales for a debut album on LOCK?

One of my top 10 Taylor songs and my 2nd favourite from this album! WHAT A SONG! OMG.

Not sure I’m loving ‘Miss You’. From what I’ve heard of it via clips on Tik Tok/Twitter (and they’re good 2 minute clips etc..) although she sounds absolutely INCREDIBLE (obvz it’s PERRIE MFKN EDWARDS!!!) the song itself is lacking any form of melody to me and I’m finding it quite jarring/clunky. I’m sure it’ll grow but for now, it’s in the “nice but could be better” category for me.

She was closer to Sabrina than TØP were to her! Annoying that it was such a close battle. But had it not been a competitive week, I think the sales would have been about 15-17k!

YEEESSSS! So pleased she managed to overcome 21P in the end! A top 3 album! So proud.

YEEESSSSSS!!

My 2nd favourite Taylor song from this album! What a song!!! Why is it getting a moment??

This is OUTSTANDING HOLY FUUUUCK

So that's it for Week 1. We have done what we can. We now await the chart outcome. Fingers crossed that she has managed to overtake 21P at LEAST (I think we're definitely heading for an Ed & Sabrina 1/2). This is going to sound insane, cringe, loony etc.. But what an exciting week it's been. I've loved taking part in the "battle" to try and secure her the best position possible. No matter the outcome, it's been a HUGE success I'd say. Whether she lands at #3 or #4... it's in such a competitive week that has allowed her to secure numbers that would have given her a number 1 in 13 other weeks of the year! Incredibly proud of her and so pleased with the album that she has created. It's a legit pop masterpiece to me. Such a special album. On a separate note, I have listened to this album non-stop back to front (even listening in a few of the orders you guys have arranged in the "Rearrange" thread but always finished it). It's been scrobbled on my last.fm a total of 30 times (and that's ignoring the video play through and my listen throughs on CD/Vinyl). It's had a HOLD on me and THEN some (all whilst working a full time job too ) She is the only artist I have "scrobbled" this week (420 times). Consider my flabber ghasted. I am floored. Stunned. It's just been such a fun ride this week and it's been a blast celebrating and fighting with you all by my side! I hope we can help this album have some stability. She is by FAR the best "new" artist for me in a long, long, LONG time. <3

If it’s activated and counts, great! But ughhhh if it’s not and I need to download it, I’m not sure I’m gonna hear back from the team in time! Grrr. P.s I would really love to hear ‘Tar’ finished! It’s lovely!

AHHH yes I remember now!

My phone won’t let me download the album from the NFC Card thing! 😭😭 I keep getting this error:

I could be wrong but I believe the one about Jesy is ‘Goodbye My Friend’? But idk.

She should “tour” the pop up shop around the UK next week tbh.

My comment is what has started this “What are you doing Jade?” Trend during her FUFN performances lmao! Sooooo surreal to see it take off!
