Had Michael Jackson not decided to release HIStory on the Thursday of that week, Post would have got to number 1. I remember being super-annoyed, as Post was the first album I ever bought on its release day - got the bus into town after school and everything!
In the UK the CD singles were available as the 3CD+VHS boxset, which made it ineligible to chart as it exceeded the 3 format rule of the time - I read that OLI had issues with Official Charts on trying to make it eligible (but failed), so maybe they pulled the formats/release until this was resolved? Not entirely sure but I think they were only available in the boxset in the UK, not separately (this old Out magazine article says as such) but they made the singles afterwards have separate CDs.
Her last three albums didn't chart in the Top10 in the UK but it feels like there's a renowed interest in her music so I wouldn't rule out a Top10 placement this time around. #1 seems impossible though, especially because of streaming.
The vinyl came out on different weeks for Vulnicura and Utopia. With everything releasing the same week and all the variants, a top 10 definitely seems within possibility.
Yeah, it was meant to come out in March(?) 2015 but leaked in January, and Björk even made a whole post about releasing it early digitally if I remember right
Not scarred! It did however leave me strangely tingly (as if I'd just been partially exorcised ddd) which is not necessarily a bad thing.
When/if you're ready for more, listen to her album called "Greatest Hits" and, if you like that, go for the studio album whose songs in the GH you liked the most. I think you can't go wrong with that.
