Hmm, pretty dismal showing from the singles chart, except for the Top4. It's unbelievable how the 10th spot only sold 5k this time. Albums chart is being fairly good though...
OK now, here's something for all of you to discuss. How long do YOU think the majority of fanbase wait to buy a new release? Ultimately it should be in the first week, and for some it goes into the second week. A minority in the fanbase would probably wait a little longer for various reasons. Beyond that, it's up to the casual fans/new fans/curious listeners to keep the release afloat, right? OK now, WHEN do you think we can start to count in the casual fans? Beyond 2 weeks? 3 weeks? 1 month? Of course, that would only be a rough figure for most artistes...
