I see Disco hung in there at number ten this week.
77-78KDo we know what the UK sales are to date as of this week?

Who ISNT doing that these days though?
The Steps loons, judging by what I see on PJ are just as bad.
I feel guilty (towards David Attenborough) for buying a second version.
I don't think there's that much in it, is there? They have six different cassettes for a start.Kylie must have released WAY more versions than Steps!

Well that's already a 5 version lead over her single cassette!
More versions my arse!
What's a proper hit? Most of the albums in the album chart are fuelled by fanbase purchases in their opening weeks. The ones that have been there forever are fuelled by streams of hit singles. Mabel's album bobbed around top 40 for the best part of a year but it was 95% streaming points. I don't imagine there are many or even any top ten albums whose sales are all physical/digital (and "organic") and not driven by multi format purchases.The release strategy has been clever, I’ll give you that, but seeing loons on Instagram with loads of copies does cheapen the whole thing a bit. It’s clearly not a PROPER hit
To be fair I really haven't been keeping count.
It can't be 20 can it? They are just bundles surely which are such a ridiculous concept to me anyway. HOW MANY COPIES OF THE SAME ALBUM CAN BE PACKAGE TOGETHER?
Wasn't Disco released on one cassette? (ONE TOO MANY!)

Which versions have been released other than in the week of release to get that #1?Yeah but they normally debut high, drop and crash. Disco has been kept going by more format drops each week and we’re trumpeting it. It just feels a bit false.
but why? gold is gold no matter who it came from. labels are just adapting to the times.I'd be tempted to BAN multiple formats but then I fear Kylie might fade into insignificance.
Wasn't it three formats only at one point?They never did it on the album charts but they did on singles for many years
