Okay maybe this has got a shot at number 1 Why so you say that? #1 in Amazon CD & vinyls (#5 and #9 as well), #1 on Itunes and #34 on Apple music as well which is not bad for someone like him, and the way Spotify counts work for compilations (basically if you listen to IIHAG from NGHFB it still counts towards BTWWC) he's gonna get some streams although nothing spectacular Sure it's frontloaded and it's gonna go down as the week goes by, but if he sells enough from his store/physical shops it may be doable, there's some competition but I doubt anyone will do over 25k at best |

There’s 11,000 copies. Not all of them will be in the U.K. but a significant chunk of them will be. I haven’t a clue what else is out at the moment though. Ryan Adams’ Big Colours is out today but I doubt that will trouble the top of the charts. |

Marina is his bigger competitor I guess, and Olivia Rodrigo cause she gets a shitload of streams, plus Wolf Alice's second week Maroon 5 are out as well but they don't seem to do much with albums in the UK these days It'd be an easy number 1 if it was a normal record, it's just that I have honestly no idea how much a compilation could sell, I can't imagine the numbers being similar |

I’m sure there’ll be a few on here trying to make a big deal out of the fact that it didn’t go to number 1. |

I mean I can see why he'd be cautious, and it wouldn't be shocking to see a best of not make it to the top given that I assume less people would bother with it compared to a normal release, but then Wolf Alice moving their record a week forward was telling, they might've had some info on pre-sales |

If every store put it out like this, it’d be easily #1. It’s a good thing I live in Hungary because if I saw a presentation like this, I’d purchase every single version available.

I bought: the box set The picture disc The cassette The 2cd release The 3cd release And I’m hoping to pick up the RSD release tomorrow. I’ve done my bit for the bastard 😬 |

I did buy the bundle that had the box set, and T-shirt and mug and all that jazz so I think I can be excused! But I will try harder in future. |

Just picked the deluxe box set from my local record store. It's heavy and a nice item to own.

I nipped into my local small record shop earlier and they didn’t even have it on display! I assume they’re smashed busy getting ready for RSD tomorrow.
So I may jog down to HMV later to pick it up.

I’ve never found myself absorbed by a HFB album but there’s no getting away from the facts...this is a really great collection of songs. Real quality.

Have you found 3 “hidden” CD’s in the box set yet? All those box sets - DM, BHN, As You Were, Why Me? Why Not and this one are all standing next to each other in my shelf now  |

CD’s where in place as well . Got to be careful trying to save that sticker on the shrink of the main LP though ! Now for the Japanese deluxe next week 🙂 |
