The Call of the Wendigo wrote:The Stars Beneath My Feet (2004 - 2021) by James Blunt is in at 9.

There's still something strange seeing 2000+ years in Greatest Hits titles, especially when they're entirely in this millennium. In fact, is adding years even still a thing these days?

Judging by its low position I thought this would have been a reissue or something but it turns out that it's an actual brand new Sting studio album! Where has his fanbase gone?! It can only have sold like 10,000 copies or something.

'just over 4,000'

The sauce for the first one was just some guy on the internet, but the second was from Wackopedia, so the first one is probably less suspect. sad yes

Actually, looking at Sting's discography, he hasn't had a top 10 studio album since 2003, despite having released another seven of them! gasp

In 2003 and before that, every one of his studio albums was a top 10.

Chart positions go, from 2003-2021:

3
24
15
30
14
15
27
27

I wonder what happened between 2003 and 2006 for Sting to suddenly go from being a top 3 artist to a top 30 artist. Sly

His albums?

Also bad(ish) news for Adele,

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-59430510

"Its 261,000 first-week chart sales mean it sped past the Swedish pop group's comeback album Voyage, which opened with 204,000 sales.
However, Adele's sales figures are significantly lower than those of her previous album 25, released in 2015.
That album, her third, opened with 800,000 first-week sales, which means 30 has sold 32% of its predecessor."

Shrinking faster than Adele, if these trends continue, uh hoo.
