I thought that as well. Maybe someone should message him 🤣🤣🤣

iTunes sales are minimal and meaningless nowadays. Streams and physical sales are decisive.

Top 3-5 is more likely, given their streams will be rather low but they will compensate with the highest physical sales.

It is Nr.1 on itunes again!!!What is happening here ?

Doesn`t matter,if it is enough to overtake J Hus again,but I can't remember,when it was last,that the album was dropping,and then climbing again.

:dance: Still holding strong on Amazon physical sales as well. Number 2 behind Eminem. Is there hope?

I unfortunately doubt that #1 is possible anymore.
Even though they climbed a bit on iTunes and are still on amazon, they basically were both of that all week, while already losing about 2000 copies every day compared to J Hus. Unlikely that this will suddenly change.

But holding on to #2 might still be possible and even that would be terrific, actually.

BTW the vinyl comes with a download card. It’s tucked inside.

It seems that the confrontation between PSB and Eminem is stronger than ever!!! :D Haha!
It evolved from the verbal/lirycal fight of the past to a more tangible arena... ;)

When’s the deadline for sales to count towards this week’s chart? I’ve already purchased the album from iTunes and bought the CD and limited edition CD and print from the official store. The latter is with my neighbour because I’m currently out the country. I’m considering buying the vinyl to help the effort…even though I don’t have a turntable!

There is a problem with Sweden iTunes. They appear to be number one one second and then they disappear completely next second and then they appear at number one again and so on.

The vinyl is a lovely item, you could easily sell it on.

23:59 tonight. Friday counts as a new chart week. The chart company will add up all the data for the results tomorrow afternoon.

I wonder if ordering the cassette from the official store tonight would count as a sale in the first week.

Looking increasingly likely of #3, although still a small chance of #2
