I still believe in my heart of hearts that this album will hit no1 next yr during a lean week. It deserves to.

I have to say, Miley's 1st week chart position and sales have been underwhelming.

Yes. I'm still sticking to my top ten prediction!

Reviews have been pretty good for the J Ross performance. I'm hoping that translates into another week in the 10!

Real groove #122 on UK itunes

This is the first K album that's really grown on me or stayed the same compared to others (inc. KMO) where, at first, every song felt like a classic and in 2-3 weeks, got boring. "Real groove" has really really grown.... I find myself humming this all the time. And "Fine wine" as well! "Say something" fell, but that's expected. It's not only been overplayed, but I had added it to my other playlists (running/jogging, gym, etc.) so it plays more than I want it to :D Magic 7 8 Miss A Thing 10 10 Real Groove 8 10 Monday Blues 3 3 Supernova 10 10 Say Something 10 7 Last Chance 8 10 I Love It 10 10 Where Does The DJ Go? 4 2 Dance Floor Darling 9 9 Unstoppable 6 6 Celebrate You 5 5 Til You Love Somebody 4 4 Fine Wine 3 8 Hey Lonely 7 7 Spotlight 7 7

Exactly! I don't understand why she just didn't wear something like the I.D dress.

That's true. It's such a catchy song.... gosh I keep singing it all the time. This and "Fine wine / beep beep", I start humming without even realising :D

I'm sorry but I was very disappointed with the perf, especially after seeing the simply incredible Infinite Disco perf of the same song. The dress was hideous. And I do understand it's a live audience and all, but she seemed to sound a bit higher pitch than on I.Disco. You could tell when she got to the "Do you still feel the fire?", "no one can take me higher" bits. Anyway, all that counts is that it does her some favours, regardless of J Ross being lower rated than G Norton.

Is Gary's a "Christmas favourite" kind of album or can we expect a normal fall for an established act such as himself? Like a 1 - 2 - 7 - 12 or will he stick around in the top 5 for Dec? As much as I love Steps, I see them falling 2-8

I think so too. Stolen from the LM forum (thanks Tafty!) New Entries: Shawn Mendes - Wonder Yungblud - Weird Lewis Capaldi - Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent: Finale Arctic Monkeys - Royal Albert Hall > It depends. This is "only" a live album but it's for charity and they're a strong albums band. < Based the above, my thoughts: - Shawn, Lewis and Arctic Monkeys will have high (top 5?) debuts. Not sure about Shawn though, he's not as popular as he was before, eh? - From the current top 10, I see Steps, Miley and perhaps AC/DC falling below Kylie? Not sure about Little Mix. - From the current top 10, Buble's Xmas and maybe that Andre Rieu albums may rise. With all this said, I see Kylie at #8 or #9. Do they have any TV adverts planned?

:D

Exactly! Plus, it's such a catchy pop song... I hope she does the same setup as she did on ID. The dress on J Ross looked awful though.

I love this song and IBIY. I never cared for Giving you up or BPM. That comment about Aus radio playing this was interesting...I didn't even know Aus radio played her records since BL. Even "All the lovers" had such poor airplay no wonder it peaked at #13, and this, after K's performance on Dancing with the stars.

LOL she's pretty much criticised every female singer on the planet....well, she didn't slag off Enya :P

See, that's the thing. All it takes is one leaked copy! And they'll start popping up all over the place. I'd rather they just work out a deal with ITV and telecast it to the entire nation.

That's what I was thinking. I wonder how much LM Confetti sold.

So proud of the girls! Now, get Jesy back and begin the 2021 promo!!! This album has legs, I'll go as far as saying it could be their 2nd most successful.

She looked like she enjoyed performing it a lot on Infinite Disco. Plus, it's a relatively easier song to perform live, so I'm sure it'll be fab.

I hope she knows it's already leaked on youtube. That's where I saw it!! Wouldn't it have been better if she'd just showed this on TV or something... ITV special, etc.? Seems silly asking people to pay money for something already available for free. And the quality is ace...I projected the video on my HDTV and it was amazing.

Ditto! This "Disco" period is like the 2020s version of the Fever era. The sales have already exceeded any kind of expectations I had. This album is looking to easily outsell Golden if 2021 Q1 promo is in place. Best part is - as the country eases away from lockdown, more foot traffic and casual buyers and Xmas rush means this should comfortably sell all through December! Sales: 10,903 Total sales: 89,890 Sales WoW +23% CD: 6,898 Digital: 306 Streaming: 806 LP: 2,855

At least 10K sold....so that takes that total to 88-89K'ish?

Is it true that the album is #6 this week? Bravo LM!!

I quite agree. She should hopefully start the new week with near 90K sales... which leaves 30K in about a month.... sounds easy given a) it's Dec and sales are high b) given lockdown relaxation, there will be more than usual foot traffic to shops. How is Disco stocking in M&S, Tesco, etc.? The other big magnet for her demographic?

Of all the above, I'm shocked at how poorly Ariana is doing despite everything going for her - press, radio support, streaming, etc. Ironic - LM would've gotten to #1 had they released with Ariana and Sam instead of releasing with Kylie.
