Chart News: UK #1 album only sells 8K; lowest of 21st century

Official Charts Analysis: Blossoms score lowest selling No. 1 album of 21st Century

by Alan Jones

With worries about Brexit, the effects of streaming, good weather, a threadbare release schedule and the Olympic Games all playing a part, album sales took another dive last week, retreating considerably with paid-for purchases visiting their lowest levels since Millward Brown took over compilation of the charts for OCC more than 22 years ago .

In a sales climate where there is no other good news, the ever revolving door at the top of the artist album chart got jammed, with Blossoms’ eponymous debut remaining atop the list for a second term, bringing to an end a record run of 20 weeks in a row in which it has changed hands. Blossoms is the first album to retain pole position since Adele’s 25 topped for three consecutive weeks in March.

It did so on sales of just 7,948 copies (including 914 from streams) – a 62.13% dip over its first week tally, and 17.02% below the previous worst 21st century No.1 sale of 9,578 set by Rihanna’s Talk That Talk exactly four years ago, when the same factors, including The Olympics, wrecked the market. Rihanna, don’t forget, didn’t have streaming sales to bulk up her total, so the actual deficit is even bigger.

Blossoms’ retention of the title was very last minute – earlier in the week All Over The World: The Very Best Of ELO and Drake’s Views made the running (walking?) but couldn’t sustain their pace.

Views ended up at No.2 just 227 sales in arrears of Blossoms, climbing from No.3 despite its sales falling for the 15th time in the 16 weeks that have elapsed since it debuted atop the chart in May, and reaching its own personal nadir of 7,721 sales, a figure that was massively inflated by its allocation of 4,961 streaming sales. It ranks only No.8 on the paid-for sales chart.

1 Blossoms 7,948 7,034 914
2 Drake 7,721

Chart News: Lemonade longest #1 album in Belgium since Adele’s 21

admin — Sat, 04 Jun 2016 04:59:59 +0000

This week, Beyoncé’s LEMONADE spends a sixth consecutive week at number one in Belgium (Flanders) and hence becomes the first international album in the last 5 years to top the chart for more than 5 weeks (overall).

The previous one to achieve this feat was obviously Adele in 2011 with her unstoppable 21.

Beyoncé hence surpasses Coldplay ‘s Ghost Stories (in May 2014) and David Bowie ‘s The Next Day (in March 2013) who both spent 5 weeks at number one.

When will your fave especially in this sales climate? Even the local artists there are no longer able to manage this feat.

PJ Harvey has scored her first UK number one album this week, topping the charts with ‘The Hope Six Demolition Project’.

Harvey topped Adele’s ’25′, which has now spent 22 weeks inside the UK album chart’s top five, to reach a new high watermark. Her new release has outdone her 1993 album ‘Rid Of Me’, which had previously been Harvey’s highest-charting UK release at number three.

Aled Jones climbs to number three on the charts with ‘One Voice’, ahead of Santana’s ‘IV’. Santana’s number four album is his highest charting LP since 1999, the Official Charts Company have revealed.

Drake remains at the top of the singles charts with ‘One Dance’.

They say patience is a virtue, and one band who that all too well are British rock band James, who could be scoring their first Number 1 album in nearly two decades this week.

Following their first Number 1 album – 1998′s The Best Of – James are on the cusp of their second UK chart topper with their 14th studio album Girl At The End Of The World , 18 years after they last reached the top spot.

The record is currently just under 2,000 combined sales ahead of its nearest competitor, Adele’s 25. Can the Manchester group hold onto their early lead and grab their first non-compilation Number 1?

http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-…-years__14211/

Sales
1. James – Girl at the End of the World: 11,568
2. Adele – 25: 9,683
3. Iggy Pop – Post Pop Depression: 6,653
4. Underworld – Barbara, Barbara, We Face A Shining Future: 4,830
5. Justin Bieber – Purpose: 4,359

Adele should reclaim #1 as new releases tend to be front-loaded. Gwen starts at #11, Anti #23.
