Actually, on second thought, maybe they havent changed allthatmuch.
1 debut since Nielsen SoundScan started keeping track 18 years ago.
At least she outdid the 81,000 units moved by No.
3 finisher CiarasFantasy Ride, the album that I would have predicted to win this week.
Meanwhile, Ben Harper and Relentless7 came in at No.
9 with 34,000 copies sold of theirWhite Lies for Dark Times.
11 with 31,000 of theirWith Roots Above and Branches Below.
Anyway: Any thoughts on this weeks albums chart?
