I love how ASIB soundtrack came out in October and is at number 11

Where has the greatest showman re imagined placed

it helps that the album is only 3.99

Yeah the greatest showman is a drama that had a 15 age rating....they are so similar ones a family film full of pop song and sing along songs and one is a drama with emotional story line and emotional ballads.....yeah they are the same silly me.

Your comparison is just silly could understand a mamma Mia v GSM seeing as they are MUSICALS ASIB is a drama that happens to have music in and has managed that kind of success over the course of just over a month! And buttered muffin stop being so silly will you the album is nearly a YEAR old and it’s a soundtrack not a gaga album. Go look at the YTD chart forum ASIB is number 19 with just over a month of release so stop going on like the album has flopped

Let’s be real though...the greatest showman album came out in December 2017 and has had a re release with a singalong version and now going to get another bump thanks to this cover album. A Star is Born soundtrack came out last month and is in the top 20 of the YTD chart. I’m not knocking the greatest showman as I love the film and soundtrack but it’s not really a fair comparison between the two really. Oh and the fact songs are being used in Xmas adverts and three contestants singing songs from it on X factor surely has helped the boost aswell.

I love how when an album tops ASIB soundtrack the following week it is always behind... Jess Glynne, Andrea Bocelli and now The Prodigy.

It’s nice to see more pop songs then these terrible rap songs

I promise I’m not bitter yeah I Stan gaga and have for 10 years,l but I would have been buzzing for little mix if they took it last week as I’m from the north east and two of the member are. It’s just really annoying having a radio station not support and artist and if this was the same with another artist yous would be the same. And when it comes to break up songs it’s true because we are all obsessed with song like that when we are looking out for “the tea” being spilt about someone it’s just the culture we live in

who bitter about her not being number one because i'm not the song done better then I expected I expected the album to go number 1 but didn't think any song would. My annoyance is to do with radio station playing songs that all sound the same yet don't play a song what is an official number 1.

Not really when it hasn’t played a song that has been number one for 2 weeks. To say it’s the most popular song of the year is a bit of a reach though, and I’m not saying that shallow is either. Someone releasing a song about there ex will always do well.

And what a surprise capital is playing arinans new song

I will have to watch the lyric video for Ariana new song as I always struggle to Iunderstand what she’s saying

Ohhh goes to show when I last watched the brits haha

Hope shallow has one more week then anyone’s welcome to number 1, the soundtrack is doing amazing going from silver to gold in a week it will be shocking if it doesn’t get a Brit nomination come February

I love how an album knock ASIB off the top then the following week is behind it

I hope gaga and Bradley keep the number one for this week at least

I hate the comparisons between ASIB and the greatest showman they are so different. People need to remember the greatest showman was a family film so the range of audience is going to be greater and the film was a musical ASIB isn’t and the greatest showman also had the luxury of returning to the cinemas due to a song along version

an the offical chart have replied to my tweet: Hey Warren! Decisions on artist credits are made by record companies so not down to us, but as Gaga and Bradley sing the songs, we're happy to call it an Official Chart double for them! :dance: :yahoo: :w00t: :cheer:

So the official charts are classing this as a chart double for them by posting about it on their own website so technically confirming what i said in the other forum #1 Single #1 album #1 movie

Exactly if this is the case are they gonna go back through albums where the artist has an interlude when someone is talking (like alot of rap albums) are they going to class these as cast recording.

That's why I worded it that way she would have the number one single and she would be in a number 1 that has a number 1 soundtrack (which she has a lot of credits in) and to be honest who would actually be able to achieve this as most of the movie soundtracks would be classed as a motion picture cast recording, so this would also excluded Olivia newton john in grease and when ABBA released their movie their album was not technically classed as the movies soundtrack it was a album that just happened to be released when the film was and is credited as a proper ABBA album.

I wish the Madonna and gaga comparisons would stop gaga = 10 years and 7 album Madonna = 40 odd years and 16 albums so comparing there number 1 albums and singles are just stupid really. Also I think Madonna fans are going to be annoyed at the success of this movie/soundtrack because gaga has 3 song submitted to the Oscars which if she is nominated and if she was to win it would be in her name as he wrote on all three songs unlike a certain non Oscar nominated artists of 40+ years

The way it can be looked at is Gaga is the first US female artist (as John Travolta in grease rules out Bradley's chances) to have the number one single while having the number 1 movie & number 1 soundtrack in the UK.

Too much was number 1 between 27.12.97 > 03.01.98 spice world was number 1 between 15.11.97 - 22.11.97 then didn't go to number one again until 13.12.97 and was only there for a week so the single and album weren't number 1 at the same time.
