Is anybody gobsmacked that there is an actual 'black music' category for album sales? Segregation thriving it would appear!

Absolutely happy that Kylie's DISCO re entered at number 10 with the strong competition it had this week. The only queen of pop which still remains!!!! Go DISCOOOO!!!!

Taylor Swift is awful, she makes the same trash over and over and now just rerecords the albums just for the money.
We need a new Kate Bush album.

Taylor Swift is so overrated.
She has a few good songs, that's it.

She has zero good songs, she makes the same album over and over. Adele is another one like her.
Kate Bush is the only female artist who does something unique each album.
Industry is awful.

Please, it is not necessary that you translate titles and interprets into Spanish, it only serves to confuse.

Why is RED a new entry instead of a re-entry?

avatar

David AC

Because it's a newly recorded album. She is re-recording her studio albums.

You mean there is more of this to come!! ?

Yeah she’s re-recording her catalogue of everything prior to her 2019 album lover so she can own her own music as unfortunately it was sold without her knowledge multiple times even though she offered to buy it herself Thanks to her re-recording her albums it gave a lot of other artists the chance to stop the same happening to them

This is the lowest charted Courtney Barnett album to date~ (Although this wasn't her best work, but its still exceptionally written and her laid back charm works in her favour).

On a happier note, IDLES! IDLES! https://media1.giphy.com/media/SuxHnDjxQ6DGL67xQH/giphy.gif

I can't stand Taylor swift period, so hate the fact she knocked Abba of the top. Surely Voyage sold more copies, advance sells were nearly 111,000 copies and last week they shifted 204, 000, according to OMC swift sold 72,000, so something is serious wrong there...

I think it has to do with demographics: there are probably more ABBA fans than TS fans out there, but ABBA fans are less likely to buy albums than TS fans because, well, we're older. If we're interested in something, we'll buy it straight off, then sales drop off...more than most other releases with younger demographics. I think that's what happened to Duran Duran. After an initial burst of activity, like promo and maybe radio, they usually drop like a rock. The good news is, I can see Voyage hanging in there for the holidays: it's the perfect stocking-stuffer.

I don’t know if I’m happier about this continuing Taylor’s consecutive run at #1 or the fact that ‘Red [Taylor’s Version]’ debuted with a higher opening figure than the original ‘Red’ album did!

Either way, massive congratulations to her this week! The album is really long, but it’s honestly worth it when the album is this good. :)

Now we wait for Adele to smash all kinds of records next week! 😂

Boring reworking of old album, Abba should be number 1 still

Should be Diana Ross. Adele is good but more of a one-trick pony.

Dude, I don't care how old it is! 😂

The #1 album should go to the one that got the highest number of sales this week, which was Taylor. :)

I haven't heard Diana Ross' new album yet, but I'll try to check it out! Adele's wasn't her best in my opinion, but it was still good. :)

So pleased with the re-recording phoebe was a brilliant addition

I agree that Phoebe did an incredible job with her feature on ‘Nothing New’!

Glad to see another Swiftie on this site, by the way, haha. :)

Yeah I’ve always read the comments but never did partake lol glad to see u too!:)
Did you have a favourite track on red tv?

Piran

I’ve commented here for over five years now, so I’ve seen loads of different names & faces on here, haha. :)

Yeah, ‘Message In A Bottle’ is the immediate standout for me so far!

Where would you rank ‘Red [Taylor’s Version]’ in relation to Taylor’s other albums?

JT

Jess Tuck

1

Omg I’m sorry lol I forgot to respond well hopefully you see this
Forever winter was probably my fav vault track for a while and the revamped girl at home is ten times better than the original.
I’d say the re-recording is ranked pretty highly imo better than the fearless re-record

No worries! It’s harder than you think keeping up with a site as busy as OCC, haha. :)

‘Forever Winter’ was my third favourite on the entirety of ‘Red [Taylor’s Version]’ initially, although it actually dropped off fairly fast for me after the album release, but it’s getting a solid second run in my personal charts now!

JT

Jess Tuck

lol thanks for responding
Nothing new is a personal fav too as I’m a huge phoebe fan
But yeah forever winter initially wasn’t a fav but I love it so much now

No worries! I’m never going to say no to a chat with a fellow Swiftie, haha. :)

I might get into more of Phoebe’s music since I loved her verse on ‘Nothing New’! :D

On another note, why is ‘Superstar [Taylor’s Version]’ randomly getting a second life for me nearly nine months on from its release? :P
