Little Mix (Syco/Columbia) 15-19k, 5-7k

They are one of the biggest girl groups this is surprising. Although obviously they are way bigger in the UK.

Little Mix have never had a hit in the US, it's about what'd you expect.

[HolidayGuy]

Is it standard practice for acts doing album/ticket bundles to send the redemption email out 24-48 hours after ticket purchase? If so, that indeed may make projections for MB's album kinda tricky, in terms of the HITS top 20 update.

They probably have a time set for it to go out to email addresses on file that haven't redeemed. I redeemed Mariah's album this week, but I'd gotten emails twice about it beforehand since I bought the ticket during a presale. Once about two or three days after, and then sometime between then and the album release.

What's more uncommon about Bublé is the tickets going on sale the week the album comes out, they usually go on sale before, especially for an act like him who's a well-established touring force. The closest one I can recall is when Maroon 5 added their bundle the week of the album release, but not beforehand.

I'm very impressed by Mumford's numbers. Granted, they'd be lower without the bundle, but even then I thought they'd top out around 150k given how their last project seemingly took a lot of momentum out of their sales, and the gap since then. Even if it's to drop to 180k, it's still significantly beyond what I thought they'd do at this point.

Updated estimates with Bublé included.

Mumford & Sons (Glassnote) 205-215k total activity, 195-205k album
The Greatest Showman Reimagined (Atlantic) 85-95k, 70-75k

Mimi keep rising till you cross 60k

Wait isn't that a considerable drop for Buble? From his last.

Edit. Nah it isn't I googled it and it was 91k. I thought it was mid 100s.

Good job buble. 🍁

[HolidayGuy]

Thanks, GS. So do we think HITS' estimate for MB includes anticipated redemptions? Or is HITS waiting to include those in a future projection?

I wonder just how far Kane Brown will slide.

[Enigma.]

Whoa, I'd say Imagine Dragons are the most surprising underperformers this year.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

Another strong week for the top 10 with around 40k SPS needed to make it.

CHART STORY: DELTA DOES IT

Friday, November 23, 2018

Glassnote’s Mumford & Sons have scored their third chart-topping debut, as Delta bows at #1 on the HITS Top 50 with more than 231k.

The Greatest Showman Reimagined (Atlantic) lands at #2, moving close to 89k, and Michael Bublé’s love (Reprise) comes in at #3 with approximately 87k. The fourth debut to make this week’s Top 5 belongs to Epic’s Mariah Carey, whose Caution arrives at #5 with 51k.

As for the remaining noteworthy bows, Anderson .Paak’s Oxnard (Aftermath/12Tone) can be found at #11 with 40k, and at #14, Mark Knopfler’s Down the Road Wherever (Blue Note) has 32k.

And since Santa’s sleigh is just around the bend, a few yuletide sets see increases. Pentatonix’s latest, Christmas Is Here! (RCA), flies #44-20, tacking on 26k. Meanwhile, Michael Bublé’s 2011 staple—the aptly titled Christmas—re-enters at #29, snagging another 21k or so for Reprise.

When it comes to marketshare, UMG is #1 with 60%, WMG follows with 22% and SME is #3 with 17%, while the indies claim 1%.

Given the holiday, there’s not much in the way of just-released projects this week, aside from a new one from Atlantic’s Rita Ora.

Also given the holiday, as warned before, you should expect a greater margin of error than usual. And we swear that has nothing to do with the buckets of wine we’ve been swimming in over the past 48 hours.

[Music Fan]

So happy Mumford kept trending up throughout the week!

[Naos]

Pentatonix got a great boost this week. I actually thought that album would flop.

Not sad for me. They know how to deliver great holiday tunes. Just bought 'Christmas is Here!' 10 minutes ago.

We have a similar a cappella group in Finland and it's so frustrating that they can just come and open their mouth in December and be top ten lol

They have eight Top 10 albums (and one #1 not related to Christmas), so their being in the Top 10 is nothing new and not specific to Christmas. If Christmas is Here! goes Top 10, it'll be their second Top 10 album of 2018.

But I understand. It sometimes sucks to see an artist doing so well, but one similar you like isn't. Especially when they're at the top of the genre.

They put a lot of effort into their tours and get Christmas specials on NBC (another one this year), so that's likely part of it. They also got lucky going viral with their cover of "Little Drummer Boy", which actually peaked at #13 on the Hot 100.

[Enigma.]

No I meant that the demand for a cappella songs at Christmas is universal and several markets have their own group, but coming from the US, Pentatonix are the most successful WW obviously. In Finland, Pentatonix have actually charted just twice.
