Melanie C - Sweat

[Jark]

 

[FannyFaudrey]

Yep, I really didn't see this coming either!

 

[Halli]

WOW. Be interesting to see how front loaded it is, but to beat her last albams first week sales by 3k in just two days is amazing

she really is the undefeeted champon of the globe.

 

[Iguana]

It's true!

1 Kneecap (12,800 - 1,306 ahead)
2 Melanie C (11,500)

Where's this from out of INTEREST?

midweek figures are always shared on buzzjack

 

[Halli]

she's currently on INSTA LIVE signing copies

 

[Jark]

the Jessie print!

 

[Jark]

Pressure has potential but was absolutely begging to drop into a fat bassy deep house track. instead it's a bit more 00s EDM with a hint of French touch

 

[Jark]

she dipped into her Von Dutch bag with Flick of the Wrist. never truly pops off but dare I say quite ... sultry?

 

[Dark Carnival]

Drum Machine and Flick Of The Wrist are indeed much better than anything else we’ve heard from this album!

 

[Dark Carnival]

The rest didn’t stick/is pretty generic after a first listen.

[BoysForSeles]

A chart battle involving Mel C in 2026, who’d have thought? I’m glad she’s been doing well. I’m neither a huge admirer or detractor but she always seems like a decent sort. I assume Michael will leapfrog them both by the end of the week.

 

[FetchFugly]

I do quite like Emotional Memory. Always a sucker for some twinkly sounding electropop.

STREAM KNEECAP NOW (FOR PALESTINE)

 

[Jark]

Til it Breaks is kind of a sultry banger. the first two thirds of the album are quite strong. well done Melanie.

it's pure Kylie. and would easily best everything on Tension II. Mel got herself some expensive production this time.

 

[Halli]

that she's close to 15K physicals by Tuesday is pretty remarkable really

 

[FannyFaudrey]

She's about to sell twice what her last album sold in its first week. It's astonishing!

 

[Mark R 3]

Looks like all the promotion paid off!

 

[octophone]

Bought Kneecap yesterday.

I was going to buy it anyway but the download being £4.99 swung it.

 

[Halli]

You are fooling no one Octy, we know you are attending all the Melly Signings in disguise.

keep YA EYES on ME, Octy
Five, six, seven, eight!
Stretch, two, three, four!
I'll make you, I'll make you SWEAT!

 

[octophone]

OK, now I'm scared.

 

[Pipo]

Out of all the mid singers out there to bully, choosing Mel C is baffling; she's been an ally, unproblematic and has been going at it for three decades. Sure, she's ANNOYING, has shit material sometimes and could be a bit CLINGY, but still.

I'm gonna ban VooDoo Doll

 

[Shirley]

Sure, she's ANNOYING

SHE SURE IS

 

[Pipo]

SHE SURE IS

Careful, Madame, that glass house looks expensive!

Why can’t we all just unite and focus on the real ‘enemy’, yes, I’m talking about Taylor Swift. And since MOPSY loves to SPECULATE WILDLY ™, I’m close to presenting my completely over-the-top evidence that she should be considered a TERRORIST and #1 ENEMY.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Down to #3 today, top 5 seems very likely no?

 

[lolly]

I imagine it's been a while since an album with midweek sales she has failed to make the top 5.

 

[FannyFaudrey]

1. Kneecap - FENIAN (17,237) [15,152 physicals, 897 downloads, 1,188 streaming]
2. Michael Jackson - The Essential (16,881)
