Official Albums Chart Top 100 on 6/10/2023

But Olivia Rodrigo and The Weeknd's albums were released before Tension and they're higher. An old album by Lana is also above Kylie. lol

It's very rare for any album to stay at No.1 for more than a week now, with only two new releases doing it so far this year, so we have had another 32 flop albums this year. Don't remember seeing you make any similar comments about them. 

Once again, you attack Kylie for the industry standard. A mere 7 place drop outperforms many records this year. Or even for this decade.  My personal expectations were somwhere between 20-25. It is a surprise it is so high. The official album chart page isn't loading for checking, but from memory, the last time a male act had 3 consecutive weeks at #1 was in 2019! (Rod Stewart). I suspect Ed could be the first this decade to achieve it. It has only been achieved by 3 other acts 4 times since then: Olivia Rodrigo, Adele, and Taylor Swift (twice). Even 2 consecutive weeks is a rare event this decade.Let's not forget Madonna's last release dropped 15 places from first release, so "those in glass houses" and all....

Many have even dropped straight out of the top 100 from #1 over same period.

I expect, to your ignorance, that every one of the other 32 one-week #1s this year have also been promoted and on pre-order for literally months - promoted to their fanbases. I know full well from artists I follow and struggle (these days) to reach the top 40, let alone come close to #1, that they get promotion and pre-orders for AT LEAST 4 months. Sometimes they are announced before it is recorded and therefore, without tracklists. Another reason albums drop out so quickly, is that they are targeted to known fanbases and not the mass market which they no longer appeal to. This leads to selling out of all copies in 1 week, leaving none left to sell to stay on chart for a 2nd week.

No one mentioned or even hinted at Madonna and yet you just couldn't resist, could you? "Finally Enough Love" was a compilation album full of remixes that fans already had on the singles, so fans were surprised it performed as well as it has. It wasn't a brand new studio album that's being promoted everywhere like Kylie's is. and may I remind you that Madonna, (at the same age Kylie is now) had the 12th biggest selling album of the year in 2012 with 1.8m in sales.  There's very little chance of Tension matching that in this climate, but it'll be interesting to see how much (or rather, little) longevity it has regardless.

Blah Blah Blah. I didn't even read that. The first post was hard enough to wade through without drifting off to asleep, I'm not going through it again.

As you say, they climate has changed. We're comparing apples with oranges and always have been when going for equal ages. Each year that progresses makes it harder for heritage acts to have any impact outside of greatest hits. I expect Tension to have 5 top 75 weeks. As I say, it has already exceeded my expectations and is WAY beyond the comparible market. It is more common than not for a #1 album to drop out of the 10.

Which proves your aforementioned ignorance.

Pay more A-Tension, and you'd know the market.

I'm ignorant to you and your BS, yes. Not to the market and how it works.

“pension” LMAOOO

gotta agree with you about padam too. that was just luck. there was also the title track which was in the top 20 for one week but it nosedived out of the top 100. probably because kylie sounded like a robot on it.

and regarding vegas residencies, adele is doing it better lol

Your comments show you clearly have no idea how the market works - either today or historically. Or you have a personal vendetta against Kylie for whatever reason. Probably both.

But carry on. I enjoy laughing at you.

lmao. Your comments do nothing but reveal how bothered you are, but carry on with your delusions if it makes you feel better. I'm loving the fact your nerves, anger and mentality become more frayed each time I post. Only a few more pushes to go... lol

Remind me what I'm bothered about...

I'm just here for and giggles and you bite every time...thanks!

Although I'd rather talk about the actual chart rather than some hasbeen on the way down or who hasn't hit this year. Or, God forbid, some intellectual stimulation if you (or anyone else for that matter), engage with the analysis.

Bite? I'm simply humoring you, hon.

If you really wanted to talk about the charts, you would've done so, but all I've seen you do is respond to my comments about Kylie.

The fact that you always pop up whenever I say anything critical about her shows exactly how bothered you are. How I roared when Jack Fitsy dragged you all over the comments section a few months back leaving you gasping for air, which still makes me chuckle.

The only has-been on the way down is Kylie, going by the results of her latest flop single, which will probably be out of the chart in another week or so. Meanwhile, Popular remains very much active on the singles chart - not just UK but in other parts of the world.

Madonna's tour is still very much going ahead and the fact it's making your temperature soar brings me so much joy. lol

Yes, the title track spent one week in the top 20, but it is a false claim to say it nosedived out of the top 100, when it is on it's fifth week in the top 75.

Where did I say it "nosedived out of the top 100"?  It's a flop compared to Padam Padam, which was clearly a fluke in the first place.

Gery, OCC has placed my reply to someone else under your comment. I was responding to itsnoodleszn_.

You answering is what I count as biting. I pull you up on your factual inaccuracies - about the chart. Look around this site, and you'll see I 'pop up' on a number of artists, but as you ONLY comment on Kylie or Madonna, you wouldn't know that. You aren't special. I comment on others' factual inaccuracies too, including the OCC themselves - and Mr Fitsy. There are many! In fact so many that I gave up completing my comprehensive list of errors and corrected them on my own references instead. OCC have left errors unrectified that I let them know about 5 years ago. Looking at old Guinness copies, some of these errors have been in the database for at least 30-40 years! (and remain so).

The 'hasbeen' going down I was referring to was in fact Kylie. You clearly seem to think I was referring to Madonna, which suggests you think the shoe fits her too. You're right, it does.

As for the tour, like MJ's, I'll believe it when I see it. Or, more likely, hear about it from here. His was 'very much' going ahead too...

Of course if Warner have anything to do with it, it probably won't effect the chart too much.
