The charts aren’t what they used to be especially here in the UK, when Sheeran unfortunately returns he’ll be number 1 for 10 years.

Sometimes I wonder if the bri’ish are listening to music because the charts and sales are a mess lol

like 1000 sales is considered a successful album lol

i think it's because since streaming, the 14-16 year olds in school now actually have power over charts

and they don't buy music

Sabrina is currently touring here so she's getting a big boost

Still I was expecting more sales for MAYHEM this week

Music shops here rarely push her music unfortunately
