Mr. C. Joel

Apparently it’s very close to the top 3!! My second Banquet order shipped yesterday so I assume anyone who’s ordered signed Banquet from Saturday - Tuesday dispatched Wednesday!

I’m surprised Hilary deserves -2,000 copies for duping fans! It’s one of the things that really annoys me. It’s pretty much fraud…no different to fake signatures.

I actually don’t have that email 😂 The last one was on Friday saying Leigh‘s album was out? Is that even real?

I don’t understand why everyone’s being so negative. She’s clearly spoken to the girls and the idea of them all having a top 3 album is amazing! Naturally they’ve signed that off and want her to get a top 3 so that’s what they’ve come up with. Remember Leigh’s independent next week her sales will pretty much be 0 if we want her to keep making music and having any sort of budget at all she needs as many sales as possible. I might think differently if it was one of the girls on a major label but Leigh has to really fight for her place as she’s funding everything.

I knew you were a hater from the Friday thread! Give your head a wobble and stop wishing someone to fail!

What? Honestly this is ridiculous. Sales vary at different times of the year anyway so the same could applied when an artist gets a number 1 album on 10-11k as opposed to the 30k plus this week. A chart position is a chart position to say that someone isn’t deserving of a chart placement just because sales are lower this week is unfair / wrong.

Yeah I was gutted. I just think it’s so wrong to dupe your own fans. Either sign items or just don’t do them. It was probably the most obvious autopen I’ve seen the full signature was shaky nothing like when an actual human signs.

See I liked Hilary Duff and the album sounded pretty solid until I got my auto-penned signed vinyl (which I returned) and I’m not interested now. Especially when she was commenting on posts saying her hands were aching from Signing :/

Leigh’s commenting on TikTok posts saying it’s VERY close to being top 3! Now is the time if anyone wants to grab a download (++ version on the webstore, £4.99 on iTunes and £6.49 on Amazon digital)

Hilary also had two tour pre-sales (Including the 02 arena) when you purchased the album so I'd probably say she's more frontloaded than Leigh-Anne

Hilary is fighting now just released a ‘happy hour’ version that’s already number 1 on iTunes.

Ahhh I’m so happy you had the best time! I wish I’d gone to any of the girls signings now but I’ve always been super busy to arrange travel etc..(none are ever this way) She was a little off a couple of months ago (I guess the stress / pressure of going independent) but lately she really is back to the Leigh we know and love I’ve seen so many clips and she genuinely is such a lovely person inside and out. So annoying about the cassette, hopefully that’s just a one off otherwise that’ll be a bit of a disaster.

If it’s any help ‘Home’ on this digital deluxe is such a lovely song!

I’ve just downloaded the iTunes download that’s me done now. Hopefully by Wednesday she can overtake Hilary and close the gap on George.

Number 3 would be absolutely INSANE! I'm praying she can do it there's something quite special at all 3 charting at 3.

Higher numbers for Leigh than I was expecting! That's great! I can definitely see her overtaking Hilary potentially George if they push for it! She should £6.99 the CD and put the green vinyl up signed on Banquet

4 is great for Leigh-Anne I know I didn't expect her to be anywhere near the top 5 a few weeks ago. Hopefully everyone (LM fans) rally round and give her a download / buy another variant to keep her there!

George Michael completely went under the radar! I wonder how far ahead Hilary is

Nervous for today's update fingers crossed she's still in the top 5

Best advice is just to be you and I'm sure it will just flow naturally! If you stumble it's absolutely fine, just take a breath. Hope you have an amazing time tomorrow! From the clips I've seen she is really taking the time with everyone.

I’m genuinely shocked at how good the album is! I don’t think many of us were massively excited but it’s such a solid album.

Yeah I’m not sure how popular they’d be at £11.99. It’s great they’re pushing the sales though! If she does a price reduction / has a couple more surprises up her sleeve Monday / Tuesday hopefully she’ll secure top 6/7.

Well I’ve ended up with all vinyl variants 😂 I think it’s such a shame she didn’t mix up the singles, they all felt very similar and there is far better on the album. I’m hoping she has a couple of last surprises for Monday / Tuesday.

Glad you had a good time! Leigh seems to be really enjoying the signings it's lovely to see her get so much appreciation and support. Were many buying the keyrings? Hopefully that gives the album a bit of a boost if a fair few were grabbing them. It's a shame they haven't put them online.

I wonder who’s currently ahead? Mumford definitely but the older albums all start off pretty low especially with one day of sales? I’m guessing it’s Mumford Elvis Hilary Leigh?
