Is Ben really going to sell that many physicals? I think people might be over-estimating slightly - Band Aid proved that not many people buy CD singles these days, even if they're charity/novelty songs. I wouldn't be surprised if he sold less physicals than Band Aid sold last week.

I wouldn't be surprised if he sold less physicals than Band Aid sold last week. Hard to say but I think he might sell quite a few, Christmas pressies and they seem to be displayed right by the tills in the Supermarkets. I've seen loads of tweets today saying they have just bought it on his Twitter timeline and this tweet too (yes it only one but if replicated could be quite a big number) Its different to any other physical in that its just not a single it performances from the show so fans who have already bought the download may buy this too.

I can't see it adding *that* much, maybe another 20k by the end of the week?

Sam Bailey had sold 67k by the Wednesday update last year so we'll see what kind of figure Ben is on for later on.

Mint Royale
Sheeran album sales: 88,585 by the end of Tuesday. I’m afraid Ben Haenow is going to be christmas number 1, his lead has grown. |

There was never any real chance of Ben Haenow not getting the Christmas #1, even the lower selling winner's singles have had first week sales out of reach of nearly all normal singles (maybe if Ben was on course to do as badly as Sam Bailey he *could* have been beaten by Mark Ronson but he's clearly doing better, not surprisingly as he does have considerably more appeal to the music downloading public) and none of the other charity singles or campaign songs attracted anywhere near enough attention to be in with a shout.

Yep Ben has a lot of "younger" fans more likely to download and also people at the other end of the scale. He should get some decent numbers. |

Indeed both the top 2 will sell very well - 125-150k for UF & 200-250k for Ben! Bens Cd sales won't be massive but I suspect Band Aid sold poorly because people haven't taken to the song at all. Next weeks singles chart will be interesting with half a week of decent Ben sales then the gift card effect will massively benefit Uptown Funk!

ALBUMS
Ed Sheeran looks set for a Happy X-mas this year as he is on course to continue his reign atop the Official Album Chart this week. The million-selling X is currently Number 1 on today’s Album Chart Update, with a lead 35,000 copies on his closest competitor, Sam Smith’s In The Lonely Hour. If he holds on to his current position, it will give Ed his 11th non-consecutive week at the top. Meanwhile, Olly Murs is at 3 with his former chart-topping album Never Been Better, George Ezra’s Wanted On Voyage is at 4, and Take That’s III completes the Top 5. New entries and high climbers Michael Buble’s Christmas album climbs to Number 7 in today’s Update, and Paloma Faith’s A Perfect Contradiction continues its ascent back up the chart thanks to its repack, currently placed at Number 12. Further down the chart, Nicki Minaj is this week’s highest new entry at Number 17 with her third studio album The Pinkprint. The album follows 2012’s chart-topping Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded and includes the Top 5 single Anaconda and new track Bed of Lies. Elsewhere, Aussie band 5 Seconds Of Summer debut at 21 with their first live album LiveSOS, Ed Sheeran’s + re-enters the Top 40 at 39, and D’Angelo’s first album in 14 years Black Messiah is currently just outside the Top 40 at 41. The Official Singles Chart Update Top 40 is as follows. The Official Singles Chart Top 100 will be posted in full, here, on Sunday at 7pm. 1 X ED SHEERAN 2 IN THE LONELY HOUR SAM SMITH 3 NEVER BEEN BETTER OLLY MURS 4 WANTED ON VOYAGE GEORGE EZRA 5 III TAKE THAT 6 FOUR ONE DIRECTION 7 CHRISTMAS MICHAEL BUBLE 8 1989 TAYLOR SWIFT 9 THE ENDLESS RIVER PINK FLOYD 10 CHAPTER ONE ELLA HENDERSON 11 ROCK OR BUST AC/DC 12 A PERFECT CONTRADICTION PALOMA FAITH 13 PARTNERS BARBRA STREISAND 14 IT'S THE GIRLS BETTE MIDLER 15 LOVE IN VENICE ANDRE RIEU 16 BLUE SMOKE - THE BEST OF DOLLY PARTON 17 THE PINKPRINT NICKI MINAJ 18 MELODY ROAD NEIL DIAMOND 19 NO SOUND WITHOUT SILENCE SCRIPT 20 FOREVER QUEEN 21 LIVESOS 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER 22 SONIC HIGHWAYS FOO FIGHTERS 23 NOSTALGIA ANNIE LENNOX 24 MOTION CALVIN HARRIS 25 STARS COLLABRO 26 THE GREATEST HITS LUTHER VANDROSS 27 DUBLIN TO DETROIT BOYZONE 28 SIRENS OF SONG JOOLS HOLLAND & HIS R&B OR 29 MCBUSTED MCBUSTED 30 CAUSTIC LOVE PAOLO NUTINI 31 AQUOSTIC - STRIPPED BARE STATUS QUO 32 STRICTLY COME DANCING DAVE ARCH & THE STRICTLY BAND 33 A MUSICAL AFFAIR - LIVE IN JAPAN IL DIVO 34 LISTEN DAVID GUETTA 35 ROYAL BLOOD ROYAL BLOOD 36 GHOST STORIES COLDPLAY 37 SERENATA ALFIE BOE 38 NOTHING HAS CHANGED - THE VERY BEST OF DAVID BOWIE 39 + ED SHEERAN 40 LOVE IN THE FUTURE JOHN LEGEND Source: OCC |

As an aside:
Internet sensation The Wealdstone Raider is a surprise new entry overnight in the Top 40 with Got No Fans. Gordon Hill - AKA The Wealdstone Raider - has thrown his hat into the ring for the 2014 Official Christmas Number 1. The viral star, who shot to fame on YouTube after mocking his football rivals’ lack of fans and threatening to “give some” to an opposition fan, has entered the Top 40 today at Number 37 with Got No Fans, after being outside of the Top 200 yesterday.

It would be wonderful if Hozier can remain in the top 20 with Take Me To The Church.

I can actually see that Hozier track going top 10 (maybe even top 5) in the new year.

Ben Haenow on 107k and Mark/Bruno on 74k!
If those Ed Sheeran sales from Twitter are true (that account usually is) then Sam Smith is on 53k, 35k behind Ed. |

I'm really impressed at how well Gorgon City are doing, after how badly 'Unmissable' did and this song didn't really seem like a hit in waiting to me, especially in Christmas week. I suppose it has a more well-known guest vocalist but Jennifer Hudson is hardly a MASSIVE name, having never made the top 10 before.

Great to see Bruno and Mark hopefully making it to 100k again this week!
Gutting for Cheryl not to have made it back into the top 40 albums over Christmas! Shocked by this, what a flop for her. Hozier

Nicki
 Hopefully this manages to scrape the top 25 and doesn't go like Union J's last album or Britney Jean. Is it really doing that bad on physicals (been #4 all day on iTunes)?
