Same, I actually ordered the cassette from the site for the lulz, became I knew it wouldn’t arrive for release day, then just went down to the record store. Often there’s a poster if you do that, too
The midweek chart data supplied by Music Week shows that But Here We Are is currently #2 in the UK charts, with Noel Gallagher at one who's also releasing an NFT version of his album tomorrow in an attempt to keep the spot come Friday.
There's very few sales between them which is quite the feat considering Foo Fighters did zero promotion & he was doing Radio 2 sessions and stuff.
Do Noel’s fans buy multiple copies…seems to be a given for Foo fans. I have 3 colours of M@M and the CD. Trying to be restrained with this one, white vinyl and CD!
anyone who's not purchased a copy yet...TODAY is the day 🤩 help get Foo Fighters to #1 in the UK album charts as it's really neck and neck with Noel Gallagher right now x
Between the clip of the plane landing in Dublin & the pint of Guinness, it’d seem Dave and Nate’s trip to Dublin in January was to see Spike Stent mix the album.
Noel's NFT "digital pressing" has sold 800 of 1000 editions as of 6 hours ago. NFTs now count towards charts, as single units. As Foo Fighters had a lead of less than 500 before this, his gimmick might just edge him forward by the closing of the chart period.
I don't really give a shit about the chart placements, but them getting the UK #1 spot & stopping Noel Gallagher's run of number one albums is pretty sweet considering he was responsible for Liam singing the Oasis songs at the Taylor Hawkins tribute not being available on the replay.
RYM, a kinda elitist international music site I've been on for decades, has there top albums of 2023 so far and BHWA is entrenched at #22, of course should be higher but I'm happy that it's even reaching out to these listeners! (The Teacher is actually #4 single for the year!🤠✌️🎵🔥)

That's why I only preordered the vinyl and went to get the cd myself. Didn't want to be stuck on release day with no album.

They’ll be pushing the digital download sales beyond 3pm today until midnight. All very exciting stuff….hope it reaches #1

Well that answers that for the people saying the band (besides Dave) probably didn’t play on the record.
Lovely lovely post ❤️

I wanna hear Twirly 😆

I really dislike Noel and NFTs so this just solidified my stance he's a twat²
It's very "how do you do, fellow kids?" and missing the memo that the NFT market has already collapsed
I suspect it's a way to exploit his fans somehow for additional funds for a whole lot of nothing
Ahhhh I thought it was Ireland 🤞 makes sense
The album has debuted at #1 in the Australian albums charts!

Good news for the end of the week
I am glad they beat Noel. It’s very funny.
Taylor would approve
Very well deserved. Glad they beat Noel.
Did not know this Twat³
This is why I miss CD singles to get b-sides.
Bring back 7" singles!
