dark matters chart chances

[Bobinblack]

OK who is going to admit to buying the new Steps album? Keeping Dark Matters at number 3,shame on you. Lt Kudu.

I'm patiently waiting for it to be £3.99 and then I'm in, motherfeckers

That's pretty good for current day Stranglers.

Latest figures from end of play Wednesday:

1 Manic Street Preachers - The Ultra Vivid Lament (21.6k) *
2 Steps - What the Future Holds, Pt. 2 (20.1k) *
3 The Stranglers - Dark Matters (11.0k) *
4 Drake - Certified Lover Boy (10.4k)
5 The Vaccines - Back in Love City (8.1k) *

Have Steps got it in them to catch up with the Manics?

Some Spotify and applemusic figures are missing, so drake might overtake the strangs. Looks like they are going to stay in the top5.

So ONLY 11 thousand Dark Matters albums (CD, vinyl, downloads?) have been sold in the first few days in UK?

Most of the people I know don’t buy anymore, they subscribe to and listen via Spotify or similar.

It already was - teh deluxe package from Townsend with the acoustic tracks!

[giants]

But would'nt it have be better if we could have bought the cassette from fopp, HMV, and other independent stores for a fiver just to boost sales. Townsend won't get a penny out a me. Buy the way a great independent shop in Bolton has the red vinyl LP in stock.

As asked on the review thread, as I bought the (vinyl) album back in May, then forked out again on day
of release for the digital copy of album, does this count as 2 purchases towards a chart placing?

[theraven1979]

Apparently Manics are just 300 copies in front of Steps right now.

physical buys, downloads and listens on streaming services all count, but are weighted differently

[Lafleur]

Dark Matters is No 1 in iTunes Rock Chart this morning according to an official Stranglers facebook information.
