iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 23rd October 2015
They'll be slightly over-estimated, but possibly not that far off.

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 23rd October 2015
I've no doubt she'll snatch some records this week. She's currently selling 20x the number 10 record in the US. That was around 60k last week, so the potential for a massive first week is real.

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 23rd October 2015
I think I've counted properly but Adele appears to be outselling the rest of the top 10 combined on iTunes in both the UK and US, and she's still pulling away at a massive rate. Everyone has been well and truly scalped.

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 23rd October 2015
I wouldn't be at all surprised if she sells 70k+ just today. I'm sticking with 200k now. It's about time we saw some good numbers again.

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 23rd October 2015
The lead is still growing. He's now only 25% of her. If that carries on for a while (and I could see her extending that gap further) and he goes on to sell even 50k this week, that puts her well on course for big numbers. Obviously it's unlikely she'll still be selling 4 times what he is later in the week but I can't imagine she's going to drop like a stone either.

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 23rd October 2015
Yeah I think that 100k is extremely pessimistic. Yes sales have been lower for the last few weeks but Bieber's new one is probably off to a pretty good start and look at how much she's outselling that by. Add in streaming and she's surely in for a lot more than 100k. I'd love it to get to 200k but think even 170k is fairly realistic, looking at the huge gap on iTunes.

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 23rd October 2015
She surely has 200k+ in her sights for this week? I'd imagine she'll have decent streaming too and I really can't see the hype dying down anytime soon.

That chorus is a beast. Adele has ended me.

'21' is back up to 9, and '19' is at 22. Adele owns everything.

Well that was sung last week, so it's a bit late to be moaning about it now ;)

Project Runway / All-Stars / Junior / Under the Gunn
Really looking forward to next week. Love the avant garde challenges, and from the preview, it looks insane. It looks like someone actually creates a building costume, so takes the "take your inspiration from New York's structure" waaaaaay too literally. Swapnil deserved to go this week. He treated his model so badly and I coudn't believe it when they lifted the back and he'd literally tied a knot in it to keep it on. That is appalling. I absolutely hated Ashley's dress. That print was just awful, and I agreed that it completely cut her model up with all the layering around the waist. As much as it pains me to say it, Candice's outfit was awful too. She really did look like a cheap hooker, and the blue fabric matching the blue clip in hair extensions was tragic. Kelly's was by far the best. It was simple, but cool and fit the brief exactly. She deserved the win. Also, I thought Kelly looked incredible with her big hair and oversized suit jacket on. That's the first time I've seen her looking almost glam and it really suited her. Surely next week is the last time Tim can use the save? I've never known him to use it this close to the final before. With the way it's going, I think Ashley could go next. She's just not cutting it at all, but I'm not convinced Tim would actually save her anyway. Oh and GO TIM by the way! He gave Swapnil what for and it was awesome! The "go and pack up your things" moment was cold too. Not even an effort to say bye or we'll miss you. Tim was extremely annoyed at him.

American Horror Story: Hotel
I enjoyed it too. It looked gorgeous and Gaga was fine. Some of the characters have potential too. We'll see how it goes.

Apparently that's deliberate and we'll find out why in the next episode.

The Good Wife
Absolutely loved that episode. It was amazing and reminded me just why this is my favourite show on TV.

America's Next Top Model 2018 | Cycle 24
I think Devin will stay. They seemed to be saying they almost liked the comical aspect of his shot, whereas Justin got no positive feedback at all. Which is just ridiculous. Devin is one of the most annoying models they've had on the show for years. Clearly he's not appealing to the bookers either, seeing as he only booked 1 of them. He's done and needs to go.
-
Project Runway / All-Stars / Junior / Under the Gunn
Yeah that annoyed me too. Spend every minute of every episode reminding them to be thinking outside the box, fashion forward, creative, inspiring bla bla bla, but the only way to win this challenge was to make the cheapest, most mass-market friendly outfit possible. Also, that dress is available in literally any colour, from any fashion retailer in the world. There was not one thing about it that was unique. That episode was extremely stupid.

Round 5: Gogglebox Families • Least Favourite
Can't believe I didn't know about this rate. Always late to the party. Sigh. Went for the Michaels. I don't find them amusing at all. Everyone else that's left, apart from The Malones, are fantastic. Shame Steph and Dom haven't been in this series as much, as when they're on form they're incredible. The Moffats, Chris and Stephen and Jenny and Lee are my absolute favourites.

Project Runway / All-Stars / Junior / Under the Gunn
This was the first week I didn't really like Candice's look, which is disappointing, as she's still by far my favourite. Ashley's jacket was really cute and would have been a worthy winner but it was fairly obvious the dress was going to win. It can be reproduced for next to no money and sold on for huge profits. That was a pure moneymaking challenge - nothing to do with creativity or execution. Now, about Kelly, I think she's a riot. So funny and 100% batshit crazy in terms of design aesthetic but I absolutely hated that look. It was honestly like something a 10 year old would be wearing in 1985. It was just beyond awful.

America's Next Top Model 2018 | Cycle 24
Some of the shots this week were gorgeous!! Namely Nyle and Lacey. Both stunning. That ending was really annoying. Like anyone really cares which of those two gets eliminated. It's hardly a massive cliffhanger seeing as they're both overdue the boot at this stage.

Judging by the MASSIVE increases Sam is getting at the moment, my money's on him. The Vamps are only 5k ahead so that lead will be gone in no time.

I'm finding this too. Really frustrating.
