In reply to reissus123, We shall see. I always live in hope. 😊

As well as Beatles Sgt Pepper, Abbey Road and 1.

What!! No Beatles albums updates?

98 99 The Beatles 1962-1966 - 79,000 - 1,190,000 Getting closer every week to 4 times Platinum or 1,200,000 units from 1994. Over 2 million sales since release in 1973.

3 Silver albums now showing.

The OCC has an article on biggest album of 2026 so far. https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/official-biggest-albums-of-2026/ No sales of course!

01 Jamie T - Ghosts (100 Days of Morning) (11,531) (NE) Last Monday Rubber Soul was on 19,348 sales. Looks like The Beatles choose the wrong date to release their album. But obviously it is very difficult months in advance to predict a "good" release date.

This is the BPI's virtual support, here for any questions you might have. Another BOT. Typical reply, I'm sorry. I couldn't find any resource to answer you. Can you please try rephrasing your question?

Beatles Rubber Soul is at no. 7 on iTunes costing £9.99. You might think there has been a price reduction, but this is the 2009 issue. The 2026 mix is at no. 17 costing £10.99. However the Super Deluxe version is nowhere to be seen, not even in the Top 200 ROCK albums chart. Rather strange.

I see Paul McCartney is doing a Taylor Swift by issing a Special Digital Edition of The Boys Of Dungeon Lane with 4 bonus tracks. But why release it on a Wednesday? The CD version is not available until Wednesday 9th December.

Blossoms have caught up by 238 copies. The gap is narrowing.

On iTunes Blossoms are at nos. 1 and 2 but the Beatles are only at numbers 9 and 22. Could the Blossoms be number one by Friday?

From Hits Daily Double. Drake’s FOMO deluxe edition of HABIBTI looks like the top-scoring debut of the week. But a plucky foursome from the north of England is nipping at the Six God’s heels with their own refurbished title, 1965’s Rubber Soul, now encrusted with work tapes, remixes, lavish printed materials and an entire disc of Jane Asher tapping her boot heel impatiently. Here’s the new-release outlook at present. Drake (OVO/Republic): 58-63k The Beatles, Rubber Soul (Apple Corps/Capitol/UMe): 50-55k Mac Miller (Warner): 33-37k Dexter and the Moonrocks (Severance/Big Loud Rock): 23-25k Miranda Lambert (Vanner/MCA): 19-21k In related news, we’re really nowhere, man. Glad that Drake will not be #1 in the UK.

Initial sales for Rubber Soul of 19,348 have nearly surpassed the first WEEK sales for Revolver which were 20,931.

Blossoms sit closely behind with Songs For The Wedding Cake. But how close?
