None of them are in the chart right now so it's off-topic to bring them into the discussion. Just as it would be to point out random artists her age who are outperforming her.
Just enjoy the debut and t he album, no need to bring in other artists.
i'm just saying it's not a bad debut at all in context, and so the monsters kii'ing need to not
Can I just point out in Madonna's defence that she is till worshiped in the UK, she just chose an unfortunate week with this.
Sam's album has had a huge promotional boost this week and it was combined with a huge mother's day push. Ordinarily he would not have come close to Madonna's debut week.
You'd think that as people who are often victims of discrimination gays would learn to be nicer to others but no if a celeb doesn't look like Nick Jonas they will find all sort of things to shade him EVEN though Sam's very talented.
She had number 1 till Comic Relief on Fri then he performed the new single (that also went to 1 today), that combined with Mothers Day and that many downloaded the album when it leaked weeks ago means it was always gonna be tough. I think 2 is very good all things considered. Any normal week she would have taken number one but the fact the entire country watches Comic Relief meant it was no contest.
Quote:
She performed a month ago with blacklisted single, Sam Smith performed 2 nights ago at the show that doubled BRITS ratings, has comic relief #1 single and it's Mother day

She did fine.
And she is still holding her Guinness World Records as the most successful solo artist ever on the UK album charts. x
There are worse fates though.
