Thursday update in the UK. It doesn't look too good
Sorry I haven't been keeping up to date with this; I've been on holiday but I'm back now. Shame it's not doing as well as it was at the start of the week, fingers crossed for a top 10.
I just started listening and I am slayed. I really hope this does well, considering he's not going to be making anymore music for a long time. I'm not expecting it to do anything in the US, but UK has to be here for him, right?

Unfortunately it's not looking like the UK is supporting him; top 10 album at best.

Still at #7 on Friday's update. Hope it will hold inside the Top 10.
I can't believe there has been no promo for this. Where were the TV performances on GN and JR. Where were the posters and TV Adverts. Why wasn't Seen You debuted on Zane Lowes R1 Show as 'hottest record in the world'. Why wasn't Take me As I Am video released the week before album release yet Next Year was made available to listen too online. Unfortunately there are 3 groups of people why the album isn't doing well: Example himself, The Label and Examples manager.
Overall album rating : 8/10 (PITS and TEOM are better in my opinion)
1) Next Year : 4/10 - The weakest track on the album, the production is class but I find EG's voice boring and mono-tone on the track. A poor opener especially when compared to From Space, Skies Don't Lie and CTTR.
2) Kids Again: 7/10 - This track has grew on me massively and makes me want to bounce like a lunatic.
3) One More Day: 8/10 - This track has a really nice house feel to it, proper feel good anthem.
4) 10 Million People: 10/10 - This song is a masterpiece from the opening rap I love how the music develops.
5) Only Human: 9/10 - Love the track but I feel that the drop is missing a final kick.
6) Seen You: 10/10 - Another house masterpiece, proper emotional feel to it.
7) Can't Face The World Alone - 7/10: Initially I loved this track, however I found that it got old pretty quickly.
8) Live Life Living - 8/10: The singing and music is great, espeically love the emotional last verse, however as with Only Human I find that the drop is missing something.
9) All The Wrong Places - 9/10: Absolutely love this track ever since I heard it live at Ibiza Rocks.
10)Take Me As I Am - 10/10 (Best Track On The Album): Incredible, I only wish that Only Human and Life Life Living borrowed the heavy kick of the drop.
11)At Night - 6/10: I absolutely love the first verse, but it really annoys me how the song is basically the same thing twice, the first verse is just repeated.
12)Longest Goodbye - 8/10: Really nice, emotional end to the album especially when you considers it's about his friend who killed himself.
