StrawberryBlond 13,593 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Really surprising developments in the charts this week. I think we've witnessed just how loyal metal fans are for Avenged Sevenfold to beat someone who's current single has had 3 consecutive weeks at #1 (Ellie) and someone who had a #1 and the fastest selling single of the year (Naughty Boy). It just goes to show once again that #1 singles really don't matter in the grand scheme of things and certainly don't mean much if you can't sell the album that they came from. Honestly, I expected Ellie to get that #1 this week seeing as Naughty Boy clearly won't be an album seller and Avenged Sevenfold don't have a mainstream fanbase. But, Black Sabbath recently got their first UK #1 album and I've seen it for sale in major supermarkets, so there were signals of a change happening already. So, there's an example of why hit singles don't necessarily translate into album sales. Halcyon has sold little over 300,000, meaning its only just reached platinum status and it looks like this re-release isn't going to do much at all. With that in mind, I think Gaga's going to do just fine considering she's sold nearly 1 million copies of BTW despite having no UK #1's from it.

No artist should do more than ONE re-release, and that should be reserved for the biggest breakout album of their career. Otherwise you make a sucker of fans who buy physical albums promptly upon release. I bet a lot of fans owning both Ellie albums just bought Burn instead this time.

Jim 1 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 You Me At Six are free-falling, which I expected. I'm guessing their fans are he only ones who know it's out at the moment, to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
