Does this Taylorswift have one song that's popular? This is bullshit. I tried listening to it. It's all screaming and pathos, no melodies. In the US, maybe someone listens to her, but in England, where there's a huge number of great bands, she's number one? I don't get it.

She is massive and apparently a billionaire.

Music Week:

Ahead of Swift on the first couple of sales flashes but never in with a real chance of becoming No.1, because of her far superior streaming power, the Pet Shop Boys’ new set, Nonetheless (No.2, 22,419 sales) nonetheless gave the veteran synth-pop duo their highest chart position since compilation Alternative reached No.2 in 1995.

The 15th studio album by the pair – 64-year-old keyboards player Chris Lowe and 69-year-old vocalist Neil Tennant – it extends to more than 38 years their impressive, uninterrupted run of Top 10 studio albums. It is the most of any duo – Erasure, who started their album chart career the same year, and have been more productive, issuing 19 studio albums, (including four No.1s in a row) have overall been less successful, with only eight Top 10 albums in total, and no more than five in a row, a third of The Pet Shop Boys’ ongoing total.

Including compilations, live sets, soundtracks, mini albums et al, The Pet Shop Boys have had 19 Top 10 and 29 Top 75 albums but 1993 release Very – their fifth studio album – remains their only No.1. Nonetheless’ sales-equivalent streams of 811 units - less than 1/50th of those of TTPD – failed to earn it a place on the Top 200 artist album streaming chart. However, it was easily No.1 album on both physical and overall paid-for sales, with a total of 21,608, comprising 10,815 CDs, 7,761 vinyl albums, 527 cassettes, 1,218 blu-ray discs and 1,287 digital downloads. First week consumption of Nonetheless were 33.70% above the 16,768 start made by the last PSBs album, 2020’s Hotspot, and their highest since their 10th studio album Yes opened with sales of 27,639 in 2009.

I wonder how many places it will drop next week?

It doesn't really matter. Last week's number 2 - by Pearl Jam - is now at number 123. Last week's number 5 - by UB40 - is now at number 176 - both having sold about 1.5k this week.

Many!

Should be somewhere around #30 to #50 or so.

I'm surprised Erasure have had so many fewer top ten albums. I know they had four number one albums to PSB's one, but their sales have really have dropped off the last couple of decades, haven't they? I blame pughie.

If they have a streaming chart, they should have a shoplifting chart too.

Anyone got their copy of the Grey vinyl yet? Mine shows as shipped from Rough Trade, but tracking shows no traction since April 26th.

Does anybody know if, as with the clear/milky clear amazon exclusives, the grey vinyls from US/EU have different shades of grey?
