Now, this one is heavy. I guess there are very few album stores there nowadays.

Certified lover boy beats the good old-fashioned ones in the UK.

Oh well, AMOLAD, Piece of Mind, Powerslave did not get to #1 either and I think those are better albums than Senjutsu.

Wow they lost the n.1 place in the U.K ? Wow that is awful. Also huge drop in copies sold compared to TBOS.

So this is the end...

... to the increasing trend album after album.

Yep. With a bang I might add, these are horrible numbers.

I didn't expect that.

I didn't expect that.

Yesterday they were basically begging for album sales, I kind of saw this.

The loss of the #1 spot in the UK can be put down to how poorly its sold compared to the last few which is a shame

Just compared to TBOS really. It sold about the same with TFF and better than the previous, post-reunion, ones. Still the drop from TBOS is shocking.

So what was the sales margin between Book of Souls and Senjutsu then?

So what was the difference between Book of Souls and Senjutsu then?

Most people stopped buying records. CD shipments slumped by 75 % from 2015 to 2020 in the U.S for example. And streaming does not favour Maiden's type of music in chart calculations. It takes a long time to listen through Senjutsu, but it's still just counted as 10 streams. Drake can achieve that number a lot easier.

There is no point looking at this in absolute numbers. The sales dropped for everyone.

So what was the sales margin between Book of Souls and Senjutsu then?

Senjutsu did around 45k , TBOS did over 60k.

It is, especially considering the multiple formats for collectors they have released this time round.
