Are we sure she's got the No.1 next week? I suppose her streaming numbers will still be higher than 5 Seconds of Summer (who, surely, got to No.1 based on loon purchases or something?)

Music Week said that 83% of 5SOS's sales were on physicals, including 12000(!) cassettes. Look at the singles chart, they have no streaming power and that'll be what's needed for the album charts for the summer.

We're already seeing a lot of this - loon fanbases purchasing big via bundles on websites in week one and then a total collapse. Morrissey debuted at No 3 last week and is out if the top 100 this week. 5SOS have historically had a little more chart staying power than, say, The Vamps but they won't sell another 12000 cassettes next week.
 
5SOS mysteriously sold 12500 copies (mainly CASSETTES!) between Thursday and Friday leading to speculation online their label may have POPPED INTO A RECORD STORE OR TWO to secure the number one :zombie:

That said, Dua was selling bundles of 3 cassettes through her website, alongside offering signed prints to any CD orders made through her site so she was hardly playing CLEAN herself :D​

This is my issue. Dua dropped the album to £4.99 on iTunes and advertised this herself (buy it for a friend or some shit) alongside the signed prints and cassette bundles. She is hardly the victim. Would’ve been nice to see her at number one but in 2020 the charts are hardly viewed as important as they used to be.

I LOVE "Cool" :disco:

YES it's officially my first 10 of the album. It needs to be the summer single, it would smash. I haven't heard such a feel good pop song since "All the Lovers"

I guess I'm ready for the summer!
OOOOOhhOOOOOOOOOhhhhhh! :disco:
 
I don't think Cool is a smash. Its Spotify plays are lagging a good way behind Levitate, Hallucinate and also now Pretty Please. All would do better as singles I reckon.
 
12000 cassettes?! That’s a lot of plastic to the landfill.
 
After listening to it for a few times....have to say that this may be my album of the year...or maybe even of the decade....After not having any physical copies bought so far..started collecting it today. I have just bought a Japanese CD and the colorful cassettes (used f..... eBay, since she sold them out). COOL is definitely the finest moment of her! If only Kylie's new album was so good as this Dua Lipa's effort!

Well, hun, it's one and the same.

Thank god its a new decade so the gays can get away with such hyperbole!
 
During an Instagram live with Roman Kemp for Capital FM, Dua Lipa revealed there will be a deluxe version of "Future Nostalgia"
 
Talking about a deluxe version the week after your album was out does STING a little

But if she is going to deliver even more songs to save the world, then sign me up for the pre-order
 
I'm quite fine about the re-release as long as it is a kitchen sink affair, two or three new songs won't do. The Live in LA Don't Start Now would be nice too.
 


wow :disco: and what a gobful of an acronym that is in second

#01 Finland
#01 Ireland
#01 New Zealand
#02 Australia
#02 Belgium
#02 Norway
#02 UK
#03 Italy
#03 Netherlands
#04 Germany
#04 Sweden
#04 US

Queen is truly global! In fact the only European market where she missed top 5 so far is French-speaking Belgium, et baiser ces fils de putes.

Here's how Break My Heart entered:

#03 Ireland
#06 UK
#07 Australia
#12 New Zealand
#15 Finland
#18 Switzerland
#20 Norway
#21 Italy
#22 Netherlands
#23 Sweden
#26 Germany

Hot 100 placement should be out tonight - expect top 30 or so. Physical should get a new peak too.

Record stores have been closed.

The seething Dua loons about it being unfair (elsewhere not here) are amusing me because they are completely overlooking Dua has her own bundle and cassette deals going on.
 
I just recieved the CD. Not fucking signed. No returns section on her website either!

The CD itself doesn't come signed - they send you a signed photo which it says on the website "may arrive at a later date".
 
I notice there's a fuss about 5SOS not being #1 in the US because some of their sales were excluded. Apparently some of their pre-orders were shipped a day early so they were deemed not to count.
 
They did count, but to the previous week's sales, which obviously fucked their shot at #1 in the end. Good!

What a bunch of shite. It's in a cardboard box to boot. I can't hate her though.
 
Oh, my CD came in a wee card envelope. There was Instagram footage of her signing about forty squillion cards.
 
it was only a fiver guys! And CDs in plastic are irresponsible, enjoy the cardboard sleeve!
 
So our QUARANTINE QUEEN is the first British female to have three songs in the top 10 since Ruby Murray in 1955.

I wonder if Dua can become rhyming slang.

Dunno - but we can certainly have "Doing a Dua" as knocking it right out of the fucking park.
 
that was borderline genius

WHY hasn't she done of these for Physical yet - still not performed on TV anywhere!
