First week sales aren’t the be all and end all, but they’re usually a pretty good indication of an album’s eventual commercial success especially for Steve. This is because subsequent singles rarely pick up the amount of airplay needed to send an album back up the charts (Every Day is Like Sunday and First of the Gang are the only exceptions).
The airplay for Spent the Day was pretty good but hardly anyone streamed it which (according to our trolling clowns) meant no-one liked it. The reviews (averaging around 6/10) are considerably worse than those for World Peace which averaged 8/10 (in the UK).
Our trolls are expecting worse figures than World Peace, so under 18,000 for the reason above (hardly anyone streamed the single, meaning no-one liked it). Couple that with the decidedly mixed reviews and this could well be true.
So, predictions for the first week sales (in UK) please.
