Official Albums Chart Top 100

From Music Week.

ABBA’s Gold: Greatest Hits suffers collateral damage from the release of The Singles: The First Fifty Years, with the latter set stealing all of the former’s streaming points, leaving it with just pure sales of 325 this week – a 91.98% dip in theoretical consumption which sees it fall from No.23 to a position way outside the Top 200. It thus ends a run of 200 consecutive weeks in the Top 40, 356 consecutive weeks in the Top 75, and 526 consecutive weeks – a tad over 10 years -in the Top 200.

So its all due to how streaming equivalent sales are allocated to Greatest Hits albums. They go to the album with the greatest pure sales. Same thing happened to Beatles 1 and 1967-1970 albums - they flipped several times recently.

Don't worry, Abba Gold will be back next week.

Errr...  maybe because it's NOT their debut album?   It's actually a 6-disc "Collectors' Edition" boxed set.  

It IS their debut album, but expanded into a 6-disc "Collectors' Edition" boxed set.

It's a revamped rerelease. They've gone back to the master tapes and spruced up the entire mix, to apparently more like what the band themselves would have preferred to put out had they only had the power to say what they felt at the time. As a young band on their debut album, though, back at the time they had to accept what they could get to a large degree.

This included Roger Taylor having to use the rubbish studio drum kit and not his own drums, for example, meaning the band didn't feel the drumming on the finished album ever really sounded like him. They also had to miss off a track that they would have preferred to include, called 'Mad The Swine', which has now been instated/reinstated to its theoretical place in the running order between 'Great King Rat' and 'My Fairy King'.

The changes that have been made are why the new version of the album is being specifically billed under the new title of Queen I, rather than simply Queen.

Well said!

I totally agree with EVERYTHING you say, mrstarling. <3

Love & respect,

Bam

Thanks so much! Glad someone here will back me!! Respect and love to you Bam !

Not in here too. Seems like my message to you has gone right over your head and you're going to continue being an a-grade pr!ck regardless. and to think I was feeling guilty about taking Betty's advice on ignoring you.

Gery >

Go cry about it you big baby victim player 

No one's crying and close to a breakdown except for you. 

I said I'm laughing in multiple comments lol 😆 

Gery go take a break, at this point, maybe delete you're account while you're at it

*Laughing* he says, but underneath you're fuming and about to have a heart attack over so many people dragging you all over the forum.

and it was I that told YOU to go and take a break, remember?

I'm not fuming, why should I care about so many people's opinions when they are using it to attack me? When they are not good people themselves.

I would say go take a chill pill but it seems like you've had to many Dr*gs anyway 

Lol It's never your fault, is it. Always everyone elses. lol

Meanwhile, I bet your Doctor doesn't know you stopped taking yours for your bipolar, babe. Best take them before you try and throw yourself off a cliff.

Gery >

Making su*cide jokes ain't even funny, that's actually so bad. And it's obvious you didn't mean it real.

Also are you gonna apologise for falsely calling me misogynist and homophobic?

Did you see any laughing emoticons or me saying lol in that post?  It was merely a bit of advice because you definitely need to take your medication or seek professional help. and no, I'm not going to apologise for anything. I say what I see. Are you going to apologise to all those people you've upset over the last few weeks?

They all upsetted me to and don't try and twist this. My post very well proves im not misogynist, so what makes you think I am?

Before the joke you said babe and you obviously don't actually think I'm gonna throw myself off a cliff so it was a joke.

You're a sick person for using su*cide as a joke, that's more messed up than the whole forums comments this week

So all of us are out to get you, we are wrong and you are right.

and calling you babe doesn't imply I was joking, so stop looking for things that aren't there. You're an attention seeker - nothing more.

I've already explained my reasons for thinking you are a misogynist, It's not my fault you're too dumb to understand.

I will no longer talk to you after this, so I hope your satisfied.

If you think getting the final word means you've won the argument, you're deluded. I'm simply washing my hands of you.

So I was right you are all out to get me, you're obsessed. "Out to get me" what you doing tryna find me elsewhere 

You can't even detect sarcasm. Omg.

I thought the other reply was your last? Look who's lying now. 

Gery, leave it. He wants the last word in every argument he starts, and it's sad. Don't lower yourself.

Betty >

You and gery just attack me and others on the website, I'm dissapointed I even speak to an animal like you.

I see the misogynist has struck again.

My first reply  clearly proves I'm not a misogynist and if what I said isint proof than you're clearly saying it just to annoy me or age 5. You're just looking for a response at this point, leave like you said you would 

Another lie. I don't ever recall telling anyone I was leaving.

Either way, I'm going to keep calling you a misogynist wherever you go now. What do you think about that, MYSOGYNIST?

The way you capitalised that was so cute, like you want it to stand out and me to jump from being offended. I'm not offended at all, I was but now I know you're to stupid to change. 

Ah calling me a blatant lie lovely, the only person telling multiple lies here is you

You are a blatant liar, so I'll ask again. When did I ever say I was leaving?

Ok, MYSOGYNIST!

Ok, SUPPORTER OF ABLEISM (dodging your question like you always do to me)

Dodging giving me an answer because you don't have one, and know you're wrong.

But whatever, PROFESSIONAL VICTIM, MANIPULATOR, MYSOGYNIST, HOMOPHOBIC PR!CK!

I can see how mad you are 🤣 Gery, explain how i support a woman for US president, and my 2nd most streamed  artist is lgbt and a woman? Exactly. You just call me it for the shock 

I'm going to stand by the fact that you discriminate again disabled people and mentally unstable people and ignoring all the points about Christianity I could fish out that your against religion to (but I'm not because I'm not as cheap as you)

It's actually hilarious how insane you are. Victimiser? And you can't go one week without calling me all this nasty stuff. You really are the devil, SUPPORTER OF ABLEISM (and no I'm not going to add to it because that's what your trying to do because it makes you feel superior and it makes you think you win.)

You: "You Dodged my question cause you can't answer it"

also you: *Doesent answer to my whole entire write up about how I'm not a misygonist*

YOUR CRAZY, YOU CAN NEVER ADMIT YOUR MISTAKES AND YOUR COMING AT ME FOR STUFF THAT YOUVE DONE, SUPPORTER OF ABLEISM.

(Call me mad all you want but I see you getting mad behind the screen easy)

lmao.

Ok. PROFESSIONAL VICTIM, MANIPULATOR, MYSOGYNIST, HOMOPHOBIC PR!CK!

You dodging all my points and insulting me changes nothing. I realise that your never gonna grow up. I think you need a nappy change, SUPPORTER OF ABLEISM

You said "PROFESSIONAL VICTIM" I agree I am a victim here.

lmao Ok. PROFESSIONAL VICTIM, MANIPULATOR, MYSOGYNIST, HOMOPHOBIC PR!CK!

Ok, LIAR, SUPPORTER OF ABLEISM, MANIPULATOR, VICTIM PLAYER KN*BHEAD

As long as you keep replying, I'll be here to repeat it:

So therefore:

Ok. PROFESSIONAL VICTIM, MANIPULATOR, MYSOGYNIST, HOMOPHOBIC PR!CK!

Ok, LIAR, SUPPORTER OF ABLEISM, MANIPULATOR, VICTIM PLAYER KN*BHEAD

People have been stupid enough to allow you the final word for FAR too long in other threads, so I refuse to back down here, and will continue for weeks, months, even YEARS if I have to.

PROFESSIONAL VICTIM, MANIPULATOR, MYSOGYNIST, HOMOPHOBIC PR!CK!

Just to say the same thing, ok?

Ok, LIAR, SUPPORTER OF ABLEISM, MANIPULATOR, VICTIM PLAYER KN*BHEAD

And you said I was obsessed 🤣

Yeah, it's my time, so what do you care?

PROFESSIONAL VICTIM, MANIPULATOR, MYSOGYNIST, HOMOPHOBIC PR!CK!
