It's really not. She never sells a thing past the first day or two. It'll be #17 by Friday.

Get ready to be surprised on Friday then.

Amanda going from strength to strength? /

Amanda going from strength to strength? /

I told you she'd win

 

[Peekaboo]

Wow, Queen, Oasis, Bon Jovi and Roger Waters in the Top 4. It's clear which AGE GROUP still pays for music

 

[HeLikedTurner]

Maybe if some of us actually paid for our faves’ music, they’d be doing better in the charts.

I always buy the physical copies!

 

[SDF]

I told you she'd win

there’s no winners here

 

[Devil]

She’s going to be close. I don’t imagine Roisin will overtake so even if #11 comes up she may still hold on.

 

[GNL]

Yaaas Sufjan. Top 20 hit.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Yaaas Sufjan. Top 20 hit.

Actually thought he would be higher

 

[Jark]

today's midweek - still #8 with 6,102 sold will VoR have to eat her words?

 

[lolly]

Is she discounting yet?

 

[Dark Carnival]

today's midweek - still #8 with 6,102 sold will VoR have to eat her words?

If I were in the UK I would’ve been tempted to buy the physical just to see that happen

 

[lolly]

If I were in the UK I would’ve been tempted to buy the physical just to see that happen

If you buy from the UK it still counts, doesn't it?

 

[Jark]

I think it has to actually ship to a UK address to count.

 

[Jark]

she's gained quite a few new streams - I posted that she had 996k Spotify listeners a few days back, now she's at 1.073m MESMERING STREAMING KWEEN!

[Jark]

ship it to @Sheena and hope he doesn't burn it.

 

[Jark]

not to completely take over this thread with my Menly spamming, but I'm starting to wonder if Blame It On Me is in fact the best song on this record. Overall I think it's a good album which makes a decent stab at being contemporary, but that song actually IS completely fresh, packs a proper punch and could be a hit for various younger popstars today. excellent production.

 

[Eddie]

I really like Overload but mostly for the dirty baseline than anything else.

Generally not a fan of her screechy vocals so the fact that these songs are relatively restrained for her is a bonus.

 

[SDF]

It would be lovely for her to get top 10 but it’s 2020 loves nice things don’t happen.

 

[Iguana]

Yaaaas kween!

 

[Jark]

LOVES IT!

Amanda is actually UP to #5 today (and only 59 copies from #4) and since this is the de facto midweeks thread now, Mariah is down to #29 and Roisin at #11

 

[Tisch]

I don't remember when she became Melanie E?

Anyhoo she now joins the other signed CDs on our shelf. Good company with Haim, All Saints and Jennifer Paige.

I imagine Amanda is probably better stocked in the supermarkets isn't she? As well as not being anywhere near as frontloaded as most of the other new releases.

Wednesday update

"Melanie C sold more than Corey Taylor and Roger Waters above her yesterday. She's 2k ahead of Roisin at #11, and 2.3k ahead of Bryson Tiller who is most likely going to be her competition for a top 10 spot."

Has Mel got any hot promo lined up?

Has Mel got any hot promo lined up?

BBC Breakfast - 05.10.2020 - 8.50 (did anyone watch?)
Sunday Brunch - Channel 4 - 11.10.2020
Klein Gegen Gross - Germany - (recorded 4th October. Airing 17th October. Thanks Douglas)

Thee D*nD*n FB group has been sharing a series of interviews more than anything plus Mel herself doing live streams on both FB/IG but that's it. She did some performances during summer and that's it.

Loons buying copies in bundles IS the promo, but I'm not familiar with the chart rules when it comes to buying bundles or if you're outside the UK, so I'm guessing most efforts will not work

 

[Jark]

BBC Breakfast - 05.10.2020 - 8.50 (did anyone watch?)

7 people, and 2 more on iPlayer. saddos

 

[SDF]

So much promo, I might need to go have a lie down

Sunday brunch is a bit late though

Hoping for that second week bounce

 

[SDF]

Yaaaas kween!

did you get the box set?

@Halli dead

 

[Iguana]

did you get the box set?

I got the CD, the cassette, the vinyl, the book, the minidisc, the cushion cover, the bookmark, the chemistry set, the necklace and the butt plug.

 

[Nancy]

I got the CD, the cassette, the vinyl, the book, the minidisc, the cushion cover, the bookmark, the chemistry set, the necklace and the butt plug.

But is it ART?

 

[FetchFugly]

Mandy Holden is going to overtake Bon Jovi isn't she?!

 

[SDF]

I got the CD, the cassette, the vinyl, the book, the minidisc, the cushion cover, the bookmark, the chemistry set, the necklace and the butt plug.

disappointed she doesn’t have signed dams tbh

[HeLikedTurner]

Still at #8 in today’s midweeks apparently!

 

[Dark Carnival]

My friend who is not a Mel C fan (not even a Spice Girls fan, just knows I like them) just sent me a text saying, Mel C’s new album is really good!
