Good for kylie!

Am I the only one who thinks the Jess Glynne album is underperforming?

Such an amazing result for Kylie.... especially when newer and more radio/streaming friendly artists like Rita Ora and Jess Glynne haven't exactly made a massive splash with their 2nd albums (yes, I'm aware Jess started at #1 but for her profile and hits, I thought the album would be a bigger seller and stay longer in the upper reaches of the chart than it has). I recall being sick (from work) the day Dancing leaked, and I heard it on youtube. I didn't hate it, but I definitely didn't love it. And I thought, oh well.... fingers crossed for a top 10 album. Whoever imagined the album would not only debut at #1 with close to 50K first week sales...but that we would be tracking its position during the Dec timeframe?! So happy for and proud of her. This also bodes well in terms of the record label having confidence in her for a follow up album. And who knows, she may get more budget too! ;) And nicer promo slots. My only 2 regrets with the campaign so far is wrong choice of song for X Factor (she could've just done Stop Me From Falling, again), and no promo slot on Dancing with the Stars.

I'm still very impressed at how this album is doing considering the current lot aren't exactly blazing a trail (Anne Marie, Jess Glynne, etc.).
