Why is Germany so tough on her tho? :triggered:

Germany is a very hard market to slay in. I don't think any pop girl had a #1 album with their recent release. Even during their peak some pop girls didn't manage to top our album charts. We prefer native singers (or rappers...).

Thrilled with the result, I guess the sacrifice was having Shallow just miss out on top5.  Nice to see her have three songs in the UK top40 too!

Charts analysis: A Star Is Born races to No.1
by Alan Jones
October 12th 2018 at 6:00PM

In a year when two Motion Picture Cast recordings - The Greatest Showman and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again - have dominated, spending 26 weeks at No.1 between them, a third debuts atop the chart this week, with a last gasp victory putting paid to the chart-topping aspirations of Twenty One Pilots. 

The Ohio duo were on automatic pilot and set to land atop the album chart for the first time but crash land at No.2 on consumption of 29,835 copies of their fifth studio set Trench (including 4,651 from sales-equivalent streams). They led the chart flashes all week but were overhauled at the last by Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper’s Motion Picture Cast Recording of A Star Is Born, which opens at No.1 on consumption of 31,816 units, including 6,178 from sales-equivalent streams.

It is the first time 45-year-old Cooper, better known as an actor, has had a chart album, and marks a return to prominence (and fourth No.1) for Gaga, whose last album, Joanne, debuted and peaked at No.3 on sales of 26,694 copies almost exactly two years ago, and has gone on to sell 143,315 copies, less than a 20th of the 2,995,891 copies that her 2008 debut The Fame has sold across all editions. This is the second time that an A Star Is Born soundtrack has topped the chart – Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson’s 1977 take on the tale had a soundtrack which took 13 weeks to reach the summit. 

Despite their late defeat, Trench is easily Twenty One Pilots’ highest charting album. Their first two albums – Twenty One Pilots (2009) and Regional At Best (2011) – didn’t get proper UK releases at the time, and failed to chart at all. Third album Vessel originally peaked at No.92 in 2013 and reached at No.39 in 2016 after appearances at the Reading and Leeds festivals were screened by the BBC. Last album, Blurryface, sold 6,793 copies while debuting at No.14 in 2015, and also received a 2016 festival fillip, which saw it peak 67 weeks later at No.5. It has been a Top 200 fixture ever since its release 178 weeks ago, and rallies 117-84, this week, with consumption of 1,287 units raising its career sales tally to 394,727 copies. Although missing out on the main prize, incidentally, Trench debuts at No.1 on the physical sales, vinyl and cassette album charts.

Nice how it ended on over 30k and 2k ahead of Trench.  Last update it was 1.8k behind Trench.  She sold around 100k singles and albums in the UK this week!

#6 is fantastic though.TEOG got to #6 and thats a classic here. Shallow is #9 right now on uk spotify and it could possibly sneak into top 5 next week if it keeps up the pace on i tunes and spotify. Its rising slowly everyday on Spotify so it could happen. That top 5 with Shallow could still be ours.
