Starkboy Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/albums Ed Sheeran's ÷ relinquishes control of the album chart for the third time, slipping 1-2 (28,148 sales), while London Grammar's second album Truth Is A Beautiful Thing debuts atop the list on sales of 43,403 copies, including 2,780 from sales-equivalent streams.That's a 31.01% first week tally than the London trio's introductory album, If You Wait, which sold 33,130 copies on debuting and peaking at No.2 in September 2013, having already spawned the Top 40 hits Wasting My Young Years (No.31) and Strong (No.16).By comparison, the first two offcuts from Truth Is A Beautiful Thing have both fallen short of the Top 75, Rooting For You reaching No.58 in January and Big Picture peaking at No.73 in February. Both failed to ignite on radio with the former reaching No.442 (sic) on the radio airplay chart, and the latter No.58. New single Oh Woman Oh Man is getting a better reception on the airwaves and charges 83-42 this week. Confusingly, it isn't doing well on the singles chart, where it is No.91 (5,485 sales), with even the release of a seven-inch single failing to push it into the Top 75 thus far.After consecutive No.1 albums with Teenage Dream in 2010 and Prism in 2013 in both The UK and The USA, Katy Perry seems to be on track to make it a hat trick in America with new album Witness projected to sail to the US summit this weekend - but in the UK it has to settle for a No.6 debut (16,153 sales). Chained To The Rhythm (feat. Skip Marley) was the first single from the set, and suggested Perry was back on form, reaching No.5, but Bon Appetit (feat. Migos) and Swish Swish (feat. Nicki Minaj) have struggled, with peak positions of No.37 and No.40 respectively. All three singles rebound, following the release of Witness, with Swish Swish up 77-47 (11,161 sales), Bon Appetit rising 66-57 (9,061 sales) and Chained To The Rhythm advancing 82-68 (7,401 sales). Prism - her third album - debuted in pole position on sales of 53,827 copies, a little below the 54,176 copies Teenage Dream sold on debut. Perry's first album, One Of The Boys opened and peaked at number 11 on sales of 18,796 in 2008. Teenage Dream has sold 1,308,384 thus far, with One Of The Boys on 700,261 sales and Prism on 440,272.

DanceForYou Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) The Kats have bragged about how Katy is smashing in Europe this era so these sales are beyond awful. She's done multiple shows over there within the past few weeks too. Where are her fans? Edited June 10, 2017 by DanceForYou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally ever post of yours begins with "but the Kats were bragging" and then you proceed to make up something nobody ever said. Also, the UK is not part of the EU and isn't connected to the European continent. Pick up an Atlas or read a news headline other than "Lady Gaga puts on a new outfit" for once.
