A lot happening in the charts this week, off the back of a surprisingly interesting week last week with Prince sadly passing and Beyonce seldom-surprise releasing her album 'Lemonade'. Beyonce's effect will still be in full force, meaning she'll probably manage to have a second week within the top 3 albums and may have a few of the songs charting within the top 40 too, 'Hold Up', seemingly being the most popular. But it's Drake who will most probably be the king on the album charts this week as he finally releases the hotly anticipated 'Views'.

 

The other big news on the chart this week, is that 5 years on from their hugely popular global hit collaboration 'We Found Love', the two team up once again for 'This is What You Came For', which is set for the top 2, most likely, but will it manage to dethrone Drake and his monster streaming numbers?

Calvin and Rihanna are looking good for number 1, and Hold Up seems to be the people's choice of Beyoncé album track at 3 (for now).

 

I will take the 'Looking good' with a pinch of salt, Mint, after all these years doesn't seem to realise his Saturday mids don't have any streaming. Someone asked him a couple of weeks back if 'Little Mix at almost #4' was including streaming and he said 'no way of knowing for sure, but probably'

Surely Rihanna and Calvin Harris have streaming too though?

Yeah I take anything before Monday with a pinch of salt been plenty of instances it's been way off

Surely Rihanna and Calvin Harris have streaming too though?

 

They of course do, I didn't say they wouldn't. But as of yesterday's streams they were streamed less than half of Drake, so Calvin's hold won't be that strong at all.

Yes, Mint made a lot of little mix stans on twitter think they actually had a chance of debuting at #4 with Hair lol

I always thought Saturday sales were downloads only from Friday but with streams from Friday not yet includes, you know cos Spotify is always one day late reporting, and thats why newies are always so high on Sat mids, cos it's basically only itunes data

thats why Little Mix were #4 and that's why Calvin/Rihanna look like a surefire #1 but Minty doesn't realise Drake will get 15K extra from yesterday streams and Calvin/Rihanna will get a bunch too but sure half of that

Edited April 30, 20169 yr by Bjork

Drake will 100% stay at 1.

Calvin will definitely debut at 2

Beyonce may enter the top 10 with hold up

His finest moment yet :lol:

let's see how Calvin/Rihanna do on Spotify for the rest of the week, starting at 285K is incredible... of course Drake did 3 times more... but when Drake was released to Spotify he started quite low, then 2nd day went top 5, and then #1 but actually Calvin/Ri have started stronger...

 

but it all depends how Calvin/Ri progress on Spotify, if they got close to Drake or not... now they have a 25% lead on itunes but that's not enough

I wouldn't be surprised if it dropped to be honest. :(

Yes but Saturday has got to be more than that too it little mix were at 4 yet hadn't even reached number 4 on iTunes at that time and it had zero pre orders

Dev sits in for Greg James

or not :(

As announced on Radio 1, there is no official chart update. :nocheer:

 

The write up on Radio 1 was just a template. -_-

Is Nicky Byrnes solo album out this week?

 

No, that's out on the 13th.

 

from OCC FB page

 

Drake on course for Official Singles and Albums Chart double

 

There is no stopping Drake - he's charging towards an Official Singles and Albums Chart double.

 

In recent weeks, Drizzy has broken streaming records and snapped up his first Number 1 single as a lead artist with One Dance, and now it looks like he will top both the Official Singles and Albums Charts.

 

One Dance featuring Wizkid and Kyla is leading the singles tally at the midweek stage, with 64,000 combined chart sales so far. Drake's fourth studio collection Views is also leading on the albums front, and is currently outselling Beyoncé's Lemonade by two copies to one.

 

If Drake can hold onto pole positions on both charts, he'll be the first to bag a chart double since Sam Smith in March 2015 with Lay Me Down and In The Lonely Hour.

 

A major new entry from Calvin Harris and Rihanna sits at Number 2 - This Is What You Came For will be Rihanna's 28th Top 10 single and Calvin's 20th.

 

Beyoncé's Lemonade continues to quench the UK's thirst too - Yoncé has 7 tracks in the Top 40, one more than last week's chart. Daddy Lessons is the new inclusion, with her other six songs all heading for new peaks within the Top 40. Queen Bey's tracks within the top flight are Hold Up (5), Formation (16), Sorry (19), 6 Inch (25), Don't Hurt Yourself (26), Daddy Lessons (31) and Freedom (32).

 

Meanwhile DJ Snake, Little Mix and Disturbed all continue their ascents up the Official Singles Chart with Middle, Hair and Sound of Silence. They climb to 11, 12 and 17 respectively.

 

Over on the Official Albums Chart, with the exception of Drake, three other newbies are on course to enter the Top 10. Billy Ocean's Here You Are - The Best Of is at 4, Travis' Everything At Once is at 5 and Tremonti's Dust is at 10.
