Mr. C. Joel

Why have they removed Sienna? Great Expectation is doing far better chart wise than most of the songs on the playlist?

Are you sure that wasn't just banter and said in Jest? I'm sure he wouldn't of meant it maliciously.

I love Wonderwall as a song but honestly I can't stand the Oasis guys! So rude about other artists and just come across like awful people. Hopefully it falls away fast I'd rather Three Lions got to number 1 over them!

Sienna flying up on Spotify with 'Great Expectation' up 10 to 22!!

The fact her downloads jumped to over 6k after they put the price up of the two versions to £4.99 tells me that the £3.99 downloads didn't count?? I highly doubt the downloads were missing data?

It's just speculation from my side but the extra versions were £3.99 for 2 days then they upped the price to £4.99 after getting mids info. Exactly the same thing happened with another artist (Who I wish I could remember) was £3.99 the mids info came in and then they upped the price to £4.99. I don't see why else they would up the price at that moment? Why would they be bothered about a few pence otherwise? It just seems REALLY strange that she had sold 4.4k downloads on Monday's mids, fans were pushing the new versions, a stack of extra's, the full top 1-4 in albums and the heavy crazy price reduction meant she sold just 400 sales (Surely even the original version without the discounting would have sold 200 ish in 2 days let alone the £6.99 ICON version) It just doesn't make any sense to me. It's less than 10% of her overall total sales across 2 new formats (5 in total plus Amazon / Her own webstore) with loads of extra's plus a lot of people were downloading and pushing across socials? I guess we just have to assume they were counted if the minimum is £3.75.

I love the album! I think it's album you have to sit with. Agree, Mono No Aware is a beautiful song and I could definitely see it having chart success with a proper push (Video / TT promo etc...) He's Not My Baby, I'm His is my favourite non single.

It happened before with someone else. The album was £3.99 and it registered only around 100 extra downloads, the following day the price changed to £4.99. Madonna started with 4.4K downloads and only sold 400 extra downloads in two days despite having the 1-4 positions on iTunes albums and #1 on Amazon (Plus the store download on the website) Just seems very low for the multiple versions and holding 1-4 in the albums. Just seems strange to me that the same pattern happened with Madonna after the mids came in upping the price to £4.99.

The downloads at £3.99 haven’t counted I think it falls below the minimum cost somehow? I’ve noticed they’ve upped them to £4.99 now.

Fantastic update for Sienna. I thought Madonna would have sold loads more with the two £3.99 downloads genuinely was thinking the downloads would of jumped to 6/7k

She's amazing! Die On This Hill is her big breakthrough hit and she has a song on the Devil Wears Prada 2 soundtrack which has also done well.

I'm glad she's now on RCA purely because there's even more chance she'll collab with Jade now they're label buddies 🤣 RCA seems to have improved massively in the last year or two. They've handled Jade pretty well so far so fingers crossed it's the same for Zara.

Grindr edit now on iTunes for £3.99 including Live At Times Square extra tracks!

I was hoping my prediction was wrong haha.

I'm disappointed in Sienna's sales but I think I predicted 17k for the week and she'll definitely pass this with all the show / ticket bundles added today (Plus the personally signed hasn't been added) Madonna's sales are amazing, the £3.99 download should give her downloads a big boost too (Not sure she'll manage my prediction of 55-60k now but potentially 50k?)

23k is a pretty big lead no?

So because you're not adding it to your playlist it hits the non existent generalised 'demographic' that listens to Taylor / Olivia? OK THEN.

£3.99!!!!!!! That’s absolutely wild! Surely that’s a mistake?

What’s everyone’s issue with variants? All artists are on the same playing field the rules are the same for everyone. Sure some artists have bigger fanbases and buy more variants but it is what it is. Sales would be in the toilet without variants. The different variants are pretty much keeping the physical market afloat.

I’m predicting Madonna - 55-60k Sienna - 17k (would love this to be way higher but the last minute shows / signings lead me to believe it’s maybe not sold as well as hoped?)

I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO FAR. Instead of the random dance tracks we're actually getting a storyline and something that's way more personal. Obviously it won't be for everyone but she needed to do something to mix things up because her original sound was becoming more dated.

I'm locking in 55-60k

HELLO???? Why are we sleeping on this!?! I can't wait!

It feels like there’s not much hype but I think she could do 55-60k purely because of the variants.

New Music playlists have done this SO dirty! It's so far down on Apple / Spotify. I can see some of her other songs going viral and charting but for new music I think that ships sailed. It's a shame as this is great.
