The debut (as a proper "popstar" I suppose, she's had songs out before) single from former Dance Moms & Nickelodeon star JoJo Siwa is out today. Displaying quite a different image to the multicoloured bows of her past, it's had quite a divisive reception so far. :lol:

Some previous sales - although bare in mind that The Libertines last released an album 9 years ago now! It's hard to predict how they'll do this time.

The Libertines - Anthems For The Doomed Youth: 23,620 (2023)

J. Cole - The Off-Season: 21,050 (2021)

Vampire Weekend - Father of the Bride: 14,772 (2019)

Feeder - Torpedo: 6,055 (2022)

The Black Keys - Dropout Boogie: 5,692 (2022)

My prediction:

1. The Libertines

2. J. Cole

3. Vampire Weekend

4. Beyonce

5. The K's

Feeder & The Black Keys will be somewhere between #6 and #10.

Is j cole big in the UK? I doubt

His last album sold 21k here first-week, he’s definitely in contention.

Added to Apple’s Today’s Hits:

18. Glass Animals - Creatures in Heaven

21. Good Neighbours - Keep It Up

45. Benson Boone - Cry

51. David Guetta & OneRepublic - I Don’t Wanna Wait

59. Ava Max - My Oh My

Hozier has also been moved up to #1!

The Libertines vs. Vampire Weekend I suppose?

I actually wouldn’t count out The K’s for a Lottery Winners-style victory either, they have a pop-up shop and their album is just £4.99 on iTunes. I think they’ll be Top 5 at least.

1. The Libertines

2. Benson Boone

3. Feeder

4. NOW 117

5. The Black Keys

6. The K’s

8. Vampire Weekend

9. Khruangbin

11. Bob Vylan

12. NOW 17 re-release

13. Dead Pony

17. Hawkwind

19. Nate Smith

20. Cock Sparrer

21. ERRA

22. Five Finger Death Punch deluxe

25. Fabiana Palladino

Ok i'm cackling at the idea of a band called 'Soft Launch' being an aggressively pushed industry plant. :lol:

And in very surprising news, I’ve done some digging and the frontman is Sean of X Factor 2017 duo ‘Sean & Connor Price’! :lol:

The band at #10 on NMF, Soft Launch, are there with their debut single. They’re signed to Parlophone, so I wonder what the story is there. 👀

They were getting hyped up on Radio 1 the other evening too.

NMF:

1. Benson Boone - Cry

2. Glass Animals

3. Griff

4. Good Neighbours

5. Diplo/Riva Starr/Kareen Lomax

6. Bryson Tiller

7. Peggy Gou

8. Kehlani

9. Charli XCX - Club classics

10. Soft Launch

11. London Grammar

12. David Guetta/OneRepublic

13. Ava Max

How has Phil made it to the interview stage? he must be the luckiest person ever on The Apprentice! Tre should win based on performance throughout the competition and he's the only person to win two tasks as project manager. However now it's just going to come down to whoever has the business plan that Lord Sugar likes the most so that could give Phil more of a chance.

His business is very, very successful apparently...

My money would be on him to win at this point!

Really enjoying this at the moment! Hopefully it can do something in the charts for them. I'm not confident though, 'Enemy' and 'Bones' were boosted by TikTok - and unfortunately Imagine Dragons are signed to Universal!
