Nope top 20 definitely, I don't have the exact position but it's at least 19th :lol: Looks like it'll outdo Magnificent at the very least
 
This is great news! :up: I never expected it to do this good after the bad position of Magnificent.
 
Overall on itunes in the UK Crazy is about 80th if you combine all the versions
EP isn't selling much on itunes at all its sales can probably be discounted nearly completely
On amazon the physical single is 69 and 89 overall
The download is nowhere on amazon

The majority of the sales are most likely preorders and physical sales in stores (which will be really low) expect it to fall a lot before the end of the week
 
Irish its number 1 and 3 on physicals on amazon?

also the ep is #2 on top 10 rock albums

while the single/album verison is #9 on top 10 rock songs (on itunes)

where did you get your info about the physical being nowhere on amazon?

It's 1 and 3 in physical singles, overall on amazon in total cd sales it's a lot lower, so when you put it into context it shows how low sales are


On itunes the Fish out of Water remix is 149, the single version is 179. The other versions of the song aren't selling from what I can see. And on my UK itunes, in the itunes store the Crazy Tonight EP isn't even in the top 100 on the rock chart, another chart shows it at 56 over all, though seeing as itunes sells mostly singles and not many albums 56 is most likely pretty low in sales

The single must be charting on preorders mostly, I can't see it staying top 20, top 40 hopefully in the end
 
But when counting towards the chart surley its only the sales of those physical singles that matter? surley the "overall" chart has albums and god knows what else in there?
 
Crazy is still in the top 30, IMHO anything top 40 this time will be amazing due to the performance of the other singles.
 
Crazy is 25 in today's midweek chart

And it makes it to 7 in Ireland this week

While the album nosedives 20 positions to 49
 
Nice to see Crazy will be a top 40 "hit", also Irish where is the album at #49? is that UK or Ireland?
 
My original preditcion in the 'predict crazy tonights uk chart position' was number 27... could my prediction be correct?!
 
For what its worth, NLOTH is up to # 32 on the USA iTunes and I expect that it will continue to rise due to the tour. We should see a big increase in sales this week and next although Im not sure the sales position will rise as much (but it will) due to this band you guys are talking about "The Beatles"....must be the new Disney sensation like the Jonas Brothers :sexywink:

Beatles won't make the US chart
 
Beatles won't make the US chart

Would they be considered catalog albums similar to MJ's albums? If they are reissues then they might chart because Joshua Tree re-charted (I believe). If they are considered reissues, I think that many of them will chart (all they have to do is sell 5k to hit the top 100).

Nope they'll all most likely be catalogue albums

Netherlands, week 28:
out of TOP30

1 1 2 2 3 3 2 6 7 13 15 11 18 24 8 10 8 14 9 7 5 6 11 10 15 22 26 31

Beatles enters at 6, which is a good achievement, considering it's an expensive box. But it probably also says smth about the CD sales. Mustbe very low, considering that a 13-CD box can reach number 6...

Furthermore, I'll go crazy enters the single TOP-100 at number 14. Which is the highest position so far for a NLOTH-single in Netherlands...
GOYB: 16
Magnificient: 18
I'll go crazy: 14

I don't think itv ever happened before that the 3rd single reaches the highest position in the charts...
