Mr. C. Joel

I'm finding the opposite it's CRAZYYYY busy round here! Although, it's mostly the supermarkets to be honest! Queuing since 6am at some of my localish Supermarkets lol

Why the split release..She would of ended up at 1 I'm certain of it with the CD/Vinyl and streaming all added on the same week. Would be amazing if there was a chance at a top 10 (Cough Cough Get some personally signed up at Banquet)

JADE!!!!! 8 is fantastic but what’s the most annoying thing ever if it wasn’t a split release she would have probably been number 1!

Very sad news :( Genuinely shocked and it would be an Absolute travesty if it didn't make number 1 this week in his honour. I really hope it gets there by some miracle.

You say chart manipulation but how is it any different to Spotify / Apple playlisting songs higher than others...?? Move Mariah and Wham! down to the bottom of playlists and I can pretty much guarantee Brenda would be at #1! Playlists do manipulate the charts it's as simple as that but I think it's unfair to call Kylie's victory completely fake because she did do nearly 20k in Physicals/Downloads...(As mentioned above physicals weren't cheap either). River was years ago let's be honest, no other Amazon Exclusive has managed it since (Despite Sam Ryder doing 9,000 downloads and pushing hard the entire week)

She’s now 7 on the app / Unlimited chart was at 2. It’s obvious it’s been scaled back when you asked Alexa to play Christmas songs Kylie came on first and then was played again after the 7/8th song. Now she’s not being played until the 6th/8th song and not multiple times. She’ll still be top 3 with ease I’d imagine but it’s definitely had its rotation reduced back a bit compared to last week

It's harsh by Amazon. They've been playing XMAS alot less up until Christmas number 1 week compared to other releases now it seems they've scaled it back again (Again Tom / Sam were still on high rotation) unless the label wanted that if they want to play the long game and not overdo it?

Amazing! Its the album of the year for me. Jade is honestly saving UK pop! I can't wait for her next era to begin I have a feeling it's going to be HUGE! I hope they go all out for the second era, major TV promo, budget video's and leave it down to Jade to just do her thing!! (ARENA TOUR for the end of 2026 / 27)

Let's be real an 'Industry plant' just isn't a thing 😂 Sure there's people who have more luck, more investment or end up in the industry through connections (Parents in music etc) but you can't force someone's success. At the end of the day it's like every job in any industry, some people are more lucky than others in getting a foot through the door for various reasons.

Office party is ok but Hot in December is 10/10 I wish it had the full single treatment to be honest

The CD is amazing! Agree I was expecting the same booklet but it really is like a brand new album! I really am gutted it's a split release but I guess they had Graham booked and wanted to capitalise on the promo.

Oh dear. Probably time you left...

They should release another remix this week for 59p and on Amazon streaming. She could be pretty close to staying at number 1 I'm sure it'll pick up a fair few downloads too!

You're trying to state your opinion as fact??? Kylie is FAR from Mediocre. I think the proof of that is Padam Padam which was an organic hit (How many artists can do that 3 decades on?) Also, your supposed industry plants don't make any sense? Why Is Katy Perry / Sabrina / Tate etc an Industry Plant but Gaga isn't (Love Gaga obviously) but you're clearly naming artists YOU think aren't talented.

Least everyone else is being paid mines still stuck unsettled as an open bet lol EDIT - Finally settled and withdrawnnn PHEW

Sabrina has always had a fanbase from being a child TV star and had way more work so she didn't need chart hits because she was still making the label money in terms of smaller tours etc plus her songs while not having chart success did have pretty decent streams. When artists get dropped it's not always about chart hits but if they are making the label money, Lot's of artists haven't had hits but can sell out smaller venues / sell a good amount of merch or get numerous brand deals / endorsements etc because they have a small dedicated fanbase.

It's a joke even customer service don't know why it's not been settled awaiting an email from the betting team apparently :/

Industry plants aren't a thing🤣 Seriously if every label knew the formula to make someone a success they'd all be planting artists in the industry. For every Sabrina there's 200 other artists signed that sadly end up being dropped or never get to release records!! Look at Raye....She was relatively unknown to the wider public (People knew the songs but didn't really know the artist behind them) She goes on socials calls a label out, does it her way Escapism blows up and now she's a global superstar (Deservedly so) if that had happened overnight she would also be labelled a 'Industry plant' Ridiculous!

I genuinely think I've been scammed mine hasn't even updated still showing as an open bet :/

My win was £1760 but my bets still haven't settled lol 🤔

Incredible sales for Kylie the downloads really picked up as the week went on

The Taylor vinyl's were ridiculous it was just the standard album cover and poor Variants for Christmas IMO. I don't mind extra versions if they're worthwhile it felt just like a total cash grab without any thought so I'm not surprised they didn't sell well.

Incredible sales!!!!

YESSSSSSSSS

Mine says the same - Stocking problem?
