charts discussion UK Midweeks: Taylor's 1989 TV #1 (147K) - Taylor's "Is It Over Now?" #1 (15K)

[vale9001]

1989 OG run in the UK was damaged by the assence of streaming cause at the time was impacting more in terms of points than in the US.

So yeah this could have a better run

Taylor's '1989 TV' Tuesday update:

#1 - 158,487 (71k CDs, 23k streams, 57,965 vinyl)

 

It's ahead of 'Midnights' as it had 157,869 in the Tuesday midweeks update.

'Midnights' Wednesday: 173,623
'Midnights' Thursday: N/A
'Midnights' Official Chart Sales 1st week: 204,501

Up to 165k. Does anyone know how many units the current leading year end #1 album has in the UK? I think it’s The Highlights and it’s been a pretty weak year (ie no 30, Equals or Harry’s House type release)… so I’m curious how high this could rank on the year end.

Sadly it won't beat Midnights' 202K. I can see 1989 TV's final numbers being 175-180K, which is still massive!!!
