Cheryl is now no2 on iTunes although she is also no3 so looking highly likely she will be no1 but I'd love Ed Sheeran to take the crown.

Can't wait for todays's update!

Posted by: Dobbo Nov 4 2014, 01:06 PM

On this occasion yes because literally anything could be better than the current number 1

Posted by: slowdown73 Nov 4 2014, 01:12 PM

Not me neither. I think she's pretty untalented to be honest and doesn't deserve to be no1.

Posted by: *Ben* Nov 4 2014, 01:15 PM

I Don't Care is a pretty decent track by her, I quite like it personally, but I think it's the kind of song that I will be bored of after 2-3 weeks.

Posted by: SavenSeize's Cat Nov 4 2014, 01:17 PM

two shoo-ins for #1 and little chance of getting many interesting new entries (I'd hope for Henry Krinkle to at least make #41 so it can get played on the chart show, but chances are it'll be around 10 places lower). dull week ahoy~

I worry that streaming could really do some damage this week to Cheryl.

Posted by: Dobbo Nov 4 2014, 01:53 PM

All Of Me back in top 5 I reckon.

You don't speak me for me, and it's breathtaking arrogance to assume you do.

Posted by: fiesta Nov 4 2014, 02:30 PM

Cheryls new song is pants, I hope it flops

Posted by: omrimayo Nov 4 2014, 02:35 PM

She's falling hard on iTunes and he has like 16k for streaming... She will have 2k? She's very weak there. I guess he will win at the end.

Posted by: omrimayo Nov 4 2014, 02:36 PM

All I want this week is Calvin at number 1 on the album chart.. But I think that Ed will get it AGAIN.

Posted by: Common Sense Nov 4 2014, 02:44 PM

I'd love for Ed to hold Cheryl off this week.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 4 2014, 02:45 PM

After saying that, she's had quite a rise on streaming, I think her fans will multi stream for her. And her lead is still quite significant on iTunes. I think she will have an easy #1, but it could be quite a fall in its second week.

Posted by: CherylStyles Nov 4 2014, 02:53 PM

Correction: the clean version is falling hard on iTunes. As expected. The explicit version is gaining lots, however.

Posted by: Envoirment Nov 4 2014, 02:56 PM

The explicit isn't gaining enough to offset the losses by the clean version though.

Really hoping Ed will hold on this week. Given the rate at which Cheryl is starting to fall, I think Ed will put up a good fight.

Posted by: CherylStyles Nov 4 2014, 02:58 PM

Hayzayy's compared I Don't Care to Crazy Stupid Love at this point in the week over in the GA forum, it's around the same point in terms of Kworb numbers. I can definitely see her keeping #1.

Posted by: Envoirment Nov 4 2014, 03:03 PM

But this time round streaming is a much bigger factor against her and could potentially offset her lead as the week goes on and Ed starts outselling her (Which I think he'll start doing late tomorrow/early Thursday, giving him about 3-4 days to close the gap).

Posted by: CherylStyles Nov 4 2014, 03:05 PM

Crazy Stupid Love wasn't off #1 until Thursday at least so I can see this being ahead combined until then at least. Streaming is bigger but Rude still had huge streams and higher sales too than Ed will be getting.

Posted by: girl_from_oz Nov 4 2014, 03:05 PM

Expect Taylor to fall quite a few places in the singles chart because of the removal of Shake It Off from pretty much every streaming service

Posted by: Hayzayy Nov 4 2014, 03:07 PM

MAGIC!'s streaming was HUGE at the time too though. They had 12k of streaming (Cheryl had 4k) and Cheryl still had a 11k lead over them in the end.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 4 2014, 03:09 PM

Also, CSL got off to a MUCH quicker and stronger start than IDC.

But saying that I think both versions of the songs together will balance out eventually. Even if she loses her overall lead tomorrow, which she Still comfortably has, I still think the front-loaded start will save her. I can't see her missing her 5th #1

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ Nov 4 2014, 03:11 PM

We have mids cheryl on 24.6 not very frontloaded

Posted by: CherylStyles Nov 4 2014, 03:12 PM

That figure seems oddly low for Cheryl, wondering if there's any data missing for her. Ed's only 6k behind and she pushed him right down to 0.6 on Kworb, combined

Posted by: Envoirment Nov 4 2014, 03:14 PM

But "I Don't Care" is going to get less sales than "Crazy Stupid Love" as well, so that evens it out. And I'm sure Ed's streaming is stronger than "Rude"? Plus, Ed has the #1 benefit and CSL went to #1 right away where as IDC took a little while to get to #1 combined.

Posted by: Markbr Nov 4 2014, 03:15 PM

Omg... I expected 28k+ for Cheryl

Posted by: Joe. Nov 4 2014, 03:15 PM

I saw 35k/25k on twitter but I guess that was wrong. 24k seems very low for Cheryl. I bet either one of the versions hasn't been added yet and we'll get better mids tomorrow.

Posted by: CherylStyles Nov 4 2014, 03:16 PM

This sounds about right to me. The Tuesday mids are known for having some errors in. I won't write her off until I see tomorrow's figures ~

Posted by: Hayzayy Nov 4 2014, 03:19 PM

It doesn't sound too wrong, that means he's sold like 0.75 of Cheryl on Sunday and Monday, including streaming.

Sales are weirdly low though. In comparaison, same update for CSL release week :
1 Cheryl Cole feat. Tinie Tempah - Crazy Stupid Love (66.3k) *
2 MAGIC! - Rude (44.7k) *

Posted by: Envoirment Nov 4 2014, 03:20 PM

"I Don't Care" climbed to #1 (didn't get to #1 until around mid-sunday), plus Ed's streaming is a lot stronger so I guess that's why he's only 6k behind? Also Ed has a second version at #49 and I'm not sure if people have been including that version when doing the combined updates of Cheryl vs Ed (It's another 7% to add to Ed's total).

Also, I think you guys are overlooking Amazon. Cheryl is #4 + #43 compared to Ed at #2 + #25, so Ed is outselling her there to help make up for Cheryl's lead on iTunes. I believe CSL was #1 on amazon MP3.

Posted by: steve201 Nov 4 2014, 03:21 PM

Id be shocked if Cheryl is only on 24k in the first mids there must be data missing she had 2 entries in the top 5 on itunes and over 50% lead alot of the time I thought it would have been on as high as 50k by the first mids(heavily upfront heavy sales) and sell 105k or something.

If she is ONLY on 24k she wont be No1 by Sunday!

Posted by: CherylStyles Nov 4 2014, 03:22 PM

Amazon has a muuuuch lower proportion of sales than iTunes, it's not gonna make a huge difference.

It does seem very low - Ed's streaming is being overestimated a bit here, it's gonna be huge but not enough to make up for Cheryl selling not too far off double of him on iTunes at one point. Fairly sure one version is missing from the total, a la The Vamps a few weeks ago only being #34 or so on Tuesday with Oh Cecilia, as the single version was missed out.

Posted by: Markbr Nov 4 2014, 03:22 PM

Rixton did 28.7k on Tuesday update thought

Posted by: steve201 Nov 4 2014, 03:23 PM

Calvin isn't going to hang on is he ?

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ Nov 4 2014, 03:28 PM

Its definitely not one of my typos got the genuine article in front of me

Posted by: Envoirment Nov 4 2014, 03:28 PM

Amazon MP3 had a 22% market share in 2013 and it's been growing year on year since around 2009, so it's significant enough to make a decent impact on the charts, especially in a week where it looks to be quite close. The sales on Amazon MP3 could mean the difference between Cheryl getting #1 or #2.

Posted by: steve201 Nov 4 2014, 03:29 PM

Itll be a great chart battle at any rate IF the 24k turns out to be Cheryls total Tues mids figure. I was expecting her to be double that tbf. The point i was trying to make was that streaming is becoming bigger each week it seems.

Posted by: BlazingLovatic Nov 4 2014, 03:30 PM

Surely there is missing data for Cheryl's sales? ....

Posted by: steve201 Nov 4 2014, 03:30 PM

Thanks for the mids Martin - do you have positions for Hozier & Animals by Maroon 5?

Posted by: Timmy SZN Nov 4 2014, 03:31 PM

Mess Taylor fell to #7 I assume?

Does anyone know where Wicked Games is?

Posted by: monai Nov 4 2014, 03:31 PM

Are U2 still in top 40 ?thanks

Posted by: Joe. Nov 4 2014, 03:31 PM

My guess is that they haven't added the explicit version yet, which could be an extra 8 - 12k to her total.



Not questioning you at all. I just know your source occasionally has missing data on the Tuesday.

Posted by: Hayzayy Nov 4 2014, 03:31 PM

If the second version is missing we could add an extra 50% sales to Cheryl, that would put her around 36k and would sound about right.
Damn, tomorrow midweeks are gonna be so important.

Posted by: CherylStyles Nov 4 2014, 03:31 PM

Pretty certain there is, we'll see for definite tomorrow anyway!

Posted by: Eric_Blob Nov 4 2014, 03:41 PM

Cheryl isn't THAT far ahead, I think it's possible she might miss the #1 (this is assuming those sales in the mid-weeks today are correct and not missing anything).

Posted by: highlander69 Nov 4 2014, 03:44 PM

Is 'Happy' still hangin' on in please?

Posted by: *Ben* Nov 4 2014, 03:45 PM

Yes, and I think there are a lot of missing streaming data too. Tuesday's mids are always a bit vague, the pre-ordered tracks have always a bit of a flying start and they drop on sales by the following days. Joss Stone, James Blunt are both top 40 while they weren't in the iTunes top 40 at all Sunday and Monday.

Posted by: gavindeejay Nov 4 2014, 03:45 PM

As Martin said, the song is 'When I Found Love Again' and is the first single from his re-release of 'Moon Landing' album which is out next week.

Hoping Calvin Harris can stay Number 1 in the album charts, but I think he'll have to settle for Number 2 unless he can consistently sell throughout the week.

Posted by: PeaceMob Nov 4 2014, 03:46 PM

Hope Cheryl and Calvin Harris can hold on, I think Cheryl probably will but not so sure about Calvin.

Posted by: Hayzayy Nov 4 2014, 03:48 PM

I love some maths!

So basically we have:

Tuesday Update Top 40 Only
Singles
1 Cheryl (24.6k) * 100%
4 John Legend (10.5k) 43%

Last night (around midnight), this was the breakdown on iTunes :
Cheryl - I Don't Care 0.9751
Cheryl - I Don't Care 0.5710
John Legend - All of Me 0.3855

When combined and weighted we get :
Cheryl - I Don't Care 100%
John Legend - All of Me 25%

It is hard to believe "All of me" is really 43% on Cheryl in the midweeks considering :
* it was only 25% on Cheryl on iTunes at its peak (ie 24 hours after the performance)
* "All of me" only re-appeared up the charts on Sunday evening after the X Factor, while Cheryl had already the whole day of Sunday selling lots (so basically it's like saying Cheryl had 2 full days of selling while John Legend only had one full day).

So yes, it is quite obvious the second version hasn't been counted in today's update.

Posted by: Dobbo Nov 4 2014, 03:49 PM

Yeah I had no idea about the re-release (oops) so wondered if it were a re-entry

Not looking good for Calvin I thought he'd have a mega lead but not so!

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ Nov 4 2014, 03:52 PM

As said above the first update always has a few discrepancies, everything should iron itself out in the Weds update.

I did find it strange when Cheryl wasn't even frontloaded, when I saw the results. Anyhow should be fixed by tomorrow.

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ Nov 4 2014, 03:54 PM

#41 for now

Posted by: highlander69 Nov 4 2014, 03:57 PM

Cheers Martin.

Posted by: Ryan. Nov 4 2014, 04:00 PM

Yeah definitely looks like Cheryl's second version hasn't been combined or something, there's no way she'd be selling less than Rixton was as this stage.

Posted by: mr_aly Nov 4 2014, 04:02 PM

I wouldn't mind seeing Cheryl miss #1 with this to be honest, I have really gone off it.

If it had a better chorus it'd be a pretty damn solid pop song, the rest of it is good (if cheaply produced as per usual).

Posted by: omrimayo Nov 4 2014, 04:02 PM

So sad for Calvin... Ed is just too strong this year... He will get number 1 on the albums and singles chart. 100%.

Posted by: Dobbo Nov 4 2014, 04:02 PM

Yeah I'm amazed Calvin's sales are so low, I genuinely though he'd be right up there with 1989's first update sales...

Posted by: CherylStyles Nov 4 2014, 04:03 PM

Wait until tomorrow to see more accurate midweeks before writing Cheryl off.

Posted by: Hayzayy Nov 4 2014, 04:06 PM

Is it a foregone conclusion and your last word?

Posted by: Joe. Nov 4 2014, 04:06 PM

a 6k lead is something that might happen on Friday's midweek For Cheryl and Ed might be close to overtaking/overtake at the end of the week. But I can't see it being this close already in the first midweek.

Posted by: { bré } Nov 4 2014, 04:07 PM

I'd love to believe Cheryl is just flopping but it does look like she's just missing a bunch of sales. Presumably no issue with Calvin though, very surprised at how small his lead is - I wasn't expecting 'Motion' to do massive numbers but I thought it'd be a safe #1, yet it's looking very much like Ed will be back at #1 at this rate.

Posted by: gavindeejay Nov 4 2014, 04:10 PM

I was expecting 45-50k for Calvin this week. I think that's about the same as what 18 Months opened with.

Posted by: ScoobyDoo Nov 4 2014, 04:10 PM

Ouch at Fuse being #21

Albums

1 Calvin Harris (14.4k) *
2 Ed Sheeran (12.6k)
3 Taylor Swift (9.3k)

Surely this must be wrong? I expected Calvin to at least be on around 20,000 by now and I thought he would comfortably be number one this week

Posted by: iain Nov 4 2014, 04:13 PM

That's going to be a huge drop for Taylor. I imagine it will be a steady seller through Christmas though.

Posted by: MrIndependent Nov 4 2014, 04:16 PM

There have to be sales missing for Cheryl.

14,400 for Calvin in albums is a bit crap, isn't it? How much did 18 Months sell in its opening day? I remember it sold 54k in its opening week, and I know Motion didn't have high pre-orders but it doesn't seem like it will reach the opening figure of 18 Months.

Posted by: Rob S Nov 4 2014, 04:16 PM

A bit odd also for Animals and Take Me To Church to be outside the top 40 when are both top 20 on streaming atm.

I can see Blunt doing what Trains latest track did. Be top 40 on Tuesdays mids then drop out.

Posted by: Juan Carlos Nov 4 2014, 04:30 PM

All I need is to Calvin to hang out atop with Motion

Great for Cheryl though.

Posted by: Rogue Nov 4 2014, 04:35 PM

Sales seem weirdly low all round, I would have thought Calvin would have mustered a few more. Maybe he's likely to get a weekend effect?

Posted by: Cameron Nov 4 2014, 04:38 PM

Why has Sia climbed again?

Edit, I see it is £3.99 on iTunes

Posted by: liamk97 Nov 4 2014, 04:42 PM

Also could be belated climbing since it was only Friday night that Sia performed on Graham Norton.

Midterm is over clearly

Hozier and Maroon 5 should be top 40 by Sunday imo!

Posted by: JimmyT Nov 4 2014, 05:22 PM

I dont mind the Cheryl song but That miming on XFactor did it for me- just underlines she has very little talent.
So come on Ed!

Posted by: steve201 Nov 4 2014, 05:23 PM

It confussed me as she has been analysing the singing of contestants these past 2 months

Posted by: Umi Nov 4 2014, 05:37 PM

You're still confused by her miming on X Factor 5 years after she first did it?

Posted by: Joe. Nov 4 2014, 05:46 PM

Cheryl doesn't have a good live vocal so always mimes so that she can put on a good show. She's never sung live on a big show like this unless she's accompanied by Girls Aloud. I don't know why it's still so shocking to everybody!

Posted by: Umi Nov 4 2014, 05:48 PM

Yeah I just googled to see a whole host of trashy "omg, did Cheryl mime on X Factor?!" articles. In 2009 that would have been acceptable, in 2010 maybe, but at this stage people are just feigning ignorance for the sake of being able to act enraged. Cheryl always mimes on X Factor, anyone with a brain should have realised that by now.

Posted by: Cameron Nov 4 2014, 05:55 PM

I didn't know that since I don't watch Graham Norton. Thanks for filling me in Liam

Posted by: hotchoc26 Nov 4 2014, 06:05 PM

This update is bonkers!
Cheryl may just miss the #1 spot seeing 5k copies in front. And Legend is #4, assuming it's All Of Me. I assume this and the following were performed on X Factor or something?

• Who is Henry Krinkle and what is it called?
• Chandelier and I Need Your Love climbing?
• What is the OneRepublic song and Joss Stone titled?
• And what is the James Blunt?
• OP and Dark Horse performed too?

Open Wide was 10 or so places higher than its stream inc. position so no wonder, since these songs often catch up with streams (like Stay High, Sail, Riptide etc.).

Posted by: CherylStyles Nov 4 2014, 06:07 PM

If you read the thread, you may know some of those questions Cheryl's most likely missing a load of sales, Chandelier is back from Graham Norton, John Legend performed both All of Me and Ordinary People on X Factor, Dark Horse was performed by a contestant, Calvin/Ellie isn't I Need Your Love, it's a new song, and the rest can be found out on iTunes quite easily...

I don't want to sound rude to Martin but is there any reason why the titles aren't put in the updates, or is it just laziness
And in most cases, each title would likely only appear once, esp. in the top 40

Posted by: hotchoc26 Nov 4 2014, 06:14 PM

I was going to change it last night but forgot...

How rude have you got time to spare.

Posted by: hotchoc26 Nov 4 2014, 06:29 PM

It can be confusing when there are artists who have several recent hits you wonder what they are...
Could I suggest putting just the titles in, since they are more unique than the artists in most cases.

Posted by: truly talented Nov 4 2014, 06:31 PM

Such blind acceptance is more worrying.

Posted by: { bré } Nov 4 2014, 06:35 PM

I usually edit in the titles shortly after the update is posted, I haven't had a chance to do so yet.

OK but I meant it would be better to have titles instead of artists.

Posted by: Ariels Nov 4 2014, 06:38 PM

Posted by: Umi Nov 4 2014, 06:46 PM

Idiotic righteousness more so.

There's nothing wrong with having a negative opinion of her miming. It is the constant supposed shock that is laughable.

Cheryl's sales are very low. I was expecting much higher given her poo factor performance and how she seemed to rise rapidly to no1 on iTunes but she has dropped so hope Ed Sheeran beats her. I have a feeling she will be no2 by sunday.

I always thought explicit or main versions were more popular. Look at the Clean version of Anaconda YT views to the original.

Posted by: Neil. S Nov 4 2014, 07:56 PM

No because the explicit version wasn't the main single release. It was released in an EP

CELEBRATE!

Posted by: Joe. Nov 5 2014, 03:43 PM

So Cheryl did have missing data yesterday. She has a 20k lead now, pretty much. Pretty unlikely that Ed will overtake but I guess we'll see how it's looking on Friday.

Posted by: mr_aly Nov 5 2014, 03:43 PM

I don't think it really matters that much, it's been around for absolutely ages now. There's a new single to focus on...

Posted by: steve201 Nov 5 2014, 03:44 PM

It will have to keep steady in the top 10 for the week as streaming could heavily effect it - just look at how Sam Smith is still at 10 with his current single!

Posted by: hotchoc26 Nov 5 2014, 03:44 PM

Thanks for the titles

But funny that there's a top 40 with the titles anyway
It'll be interesting if there's titles on the rest of the week. Do you copy and paste the data from a site or something?

Wait...Nicki & co dropped 8 places in one day!

Posted by: steve201 Nov 5 2014, 03:45 PM

Posted by: Hayzayy Nov 5 2014, 03:48 PM

Sales are going to be real low though, Cheryl should be around 80k at best.

Posted by: steve201 Nov 5 2014, 03:50 PM

Yeh it makes sense.

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ Nov 5 2014, 03:50 PM

Its not that hard, it was a copy and paste job from yesterday and re-tweaking positions

Posted by: steve201 Nov 5 2014, 03:51 PM

Indeed unless Cheryls streaming improves. Ed will make 70k again i would say which is very consistent for the type of release in comparison to a held back release!

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ Nov 5 2014, 03:51 PM

Yes but could sneak back in by Sunday.

Posted by: liamk97 Nov 5 2014, 03:53 PM

Really getting into 'Outside' now after finding it quite 'meh' before. 'Under Control' is still my favourite from this era though (unpopular choice perhaps?).

Posted by: { bré } Nov 5 2014, 03:55 PM

There was probably some streaming data missing but I can assure you that, as always, it was not sales only. I really don't understand why you continue to insist there is no streaming in midweek updates.

Posted by: CherylStyles Nov 5 2014, 03:56 PM

Outside is sounding great! By far the best thing Calvin's done this era.

Loving the sales for Cheryl, 18k is a VERY strong lead

Pray to God is going to come as slay everything. Hopefully he releases it anyway (would be crazy not to!)

Posted by: { bré } Nov 5 2014, 03:58 PM

We have a source for the mids and the summary is just typed up. Mikey usually only includes the artists in the summary for... some reason. The titles always get edited in shortly after posting and the following mids are just copy and pasted from the previous ones.

Posted by: Ariels Nov 5 2014, 04:01 PM

Seeing Cheryl's lead is a nice relief. I think she'll get it.

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ Nov 5 2014, 04:06 PM

The reason I don't add the titles is for me to get the mids out quicker for members to read, it was always done like this in the past, typing the titles can make things a lot more slower.

All members have to do is visit the iTunes topic to see the song titles if necessary, its hardly rocket science.

Oh no. 'Motion' needs to somehow hold out against 'x'!

Looking somewhat doubtful that Henry Krinkle will stay top forty at this rate ~ disappointing in the extreme.

Well at least it now seems certain that Cheryl will topple that ghastly incumbent on the singles!

Posted by: Envoirment Nov 5 2014, 04:38 PM

Sales are usually quite low around this time of year with the build up to Christmas from what I remember.

A 17.6k lead for Cheryl then. With 4 days left for Ed, I'm not sure he can do it unless he really gains a decent lead in the next day or so. He should be outselling her overall currently though, so will be interesting to see how he does for the rest of the week.

Posted by: Neil. S Nov 5 2014, 04:39 PM

We all know what he's asking

Posted by: { bré } Nov 5 2014, 04:42 PM

Cheryl's sales are still lower than I thought they'd be TBH, it doesn't look like this will sell much more than 'Crazy Stupid Love' did first week. I'd go and check what sales that had at this stage but ceebz. Congrats to her on pretty much having the British female #1 record in the bag tho. And at least a couple of those #1s are decent songs, unlike this one

Posted by: mr_aly Nov 5 2014, 04:43 PM

It will climb back next week though...

Posted by: Hayzayy Nov 5 2014, 04:47 PM

CSL was on 78k at this stage and ended up selling 118k.
So no, IDC won't be anywhere close to top that.

Posted by: { bré } Nov 5 2014, 04:50 PM

Oh I had it in my mind that 'Crazy Stupid Love' only just passed 100k, whoops. Well, 'Crazy Stupid Love' is the better song so yay I guess (both are among the worst #1s of the year but 'Crazy Stupid Love' is at least tolerable). 'I Don't Care' to be her first #1 to not hit 100k? Though it possibly still could get there.

Posted by: slowdown73 Nov 5 2014, 04:52 PM

I was expecting Calvin Harris to have sold a lot more. Doubt Cheryl will make 100k.

Posted by: ► ▲ N Nov 5 2014, 04:55 PM

Not if the John Lewis ad song proves to be as popular as Your Song/Somewhere Only We Know. I'm just hoping as just about anything is preferable to Thinking Out Loud but we could have another flop like Slow Moving Millie.

Posted by: { bré } Nov 5 2014, 05:01 PM

I think the Gareth Malone thing will probably be a contender for #1 as well after how popular 'Wherever You Are' and 'Sing' proved to be (the latter only after a bit of TV exposure but then there has been some TV show about 'Wake Me Up' as well hasn't there?) I haven't heard this version but I'm still sick of the original, can't believe it's getting the cover treatment already when the original is still barely off the airwaves.

EDIT: Especially what with it being the CIN single. I somehow completely forgot that part of it.

Avicii ha impact ha ikonec legacy

haven't heard the Gareth Malone cover anyway but not expecting it to be brilliant anyway as I didn't like Wherever You Are or Sing. forgot it was out as soon as next week anyway, that could be a challenger. I imagine the John Lewis ad song will do v. well too though especially if they get someone popular to do it.

Posted by: MrIndependent Nov 5 2014, 05:21 PM

Outside didn't stand out as a highlight to me when I listened to Motion! I'm sad that he more than likely won't get the #1 album and that it's under performing sales wise but I can't complain about Edsus going back to #1.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 5 2014, 05:39 PM

No idea what rate she's selling at because yesterday's mids were incorrect but she could sell as low as 75 - 80k on Sunday. She's be so screwed if Ed was on Alan of Graham this weekend, but at least she should just about safely get that #1

Posted by: Vidcapper Nov 5 2014, 05:41 PM

Her sales have gone gold?

She's gone gold AND is now world-famous?

Posted by: steve201 Nov 5 2014, 11:02 PM

The 2nd part of the documentary is on on Monday night when the singles out so that will help it if the performance of the pre order after part 1 this week is anything to go by.

Was yesterday the only point at which Happy dropped the 40? I know it has been at #40 once on both off. chart an SO chart (on different weeks )

Posted by: Hayzayy Nov 6 2014, 01:48 PM

Cheryl only lost 1,2k in today's midweeks, that's looking good.
Still 16,4k to catch up for Ed in 3 days.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 6 2014, 02:06 PM

I predict 82k for Cheryl and 65k for Ed.

Posted by: Umi Nov 6 2014, 02:08 PM

You expect Cheryl to extend her lead?

I'm surprised Ed gained on her considering she kept her iTunes lead all throughout yesterday but then it is a rolling chart, and streaming is a factor. This week is basically CSL 2.0.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 6 2014, 02:11 PM

I did my math wrong I think 82/70 is more realistic. but these are totally pulled out of nowhere, I'm never right with sales predictions.

Posted by: Umi Nov 6 2014, 02:14 PM

Fair enough I'm going for 77k v 71k.

Posted by: Hayzayy Nov 6 2014, 02:15 PM

He sold 9,4k yesterday and Cheryl sold 8,2k. Unless "I don't care" stops selling I don't see how he could catch up 16k in 3 days.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 6 2014, 02:16 PM

She's likely to sell less over the last few days though and older songs usually sell more over the weekend.

Posted by: steve201 Nov 6 2014, 02:18 PM

Im going for 76k for Cheryl & 68k for Ed, looks likely it was the XF performance what won it!

Posted by: Hayzayy Nov 6 2014, 02:18 PM

The "week-end" is one day since Sunday will be belonging to next week's charts.

Posted by: hotchoc26 Nov 6 2014, 02:26 PM

Looks like the top 3 are confirmed for Sunday. I really hope All Of Me doesn't re-enter the top 5. It's been long enough in the top 40 anyway. It'll probably end at #5 at least

Not sure how streamed Outside is but would be great if it stays Inside the top 10 this week!

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ Nov 6 2014, 03:14 PM

#29

Posted by: GTH Nov 6 2014, 03:46 PM

I would be very surprised to see Ed knocking Cheryl off now, even with streaming included. I imagine I Don't Care will have a similar chart run to Crazy Stupid Love, if not dropping at a quicker rate. Only time will tell I suppose. It will get Cheryl her chart record which is probably the main thing her record label care about.

Posted by: gavindeejay Nov 6 2014, 03:47 PM

I can't believe there's only 42 copies between Calvin & Ed in the albums. Looks like Ed sadly has the number 1 album in the bag then.

Good to see 'Outside' scrape in the Top 10 singles though, hopefully it'll end up at around Number 8/9 on Sunday.

Posted by: Envoirment Nov 6 2014, 04:40 PM

I'm going for Cheryl on 76k & Ed on 74k. Although I would not be surprised if Ed managed to get to #1, as he outsold her yesterday despite Cheryl being ahead on iTunes all day and today he's ahead combined and his lead is continually increasing. Will be quite close I think!

Posted by: ► ▲ N Nov 6 2014, 04:49 PM

poor Calvin was hoping it'd scrape #1 but that looks impossible now.

Posted by: MrIndependent Nov 6 2014, 04:50 PM

Michael Buble's Christmas is just outside the top fourty by the way. It's made some stellar climbs throughout the week and should easily be top fourty in tomorrow's update.

Posted by: Supercell Nov 6 2014, 06:18 PM

Surprised that Calvin hasn't had a more stronger lead all week but I guess people have decided to cherry pick Outside rather than buy the whole album, I can't understand why they showcased the song on youtube and then chose to release open wide instead prior to album release.

Really hoping for some miracle that will allow Ed to cling on at no.1 for a second week but it looks unlikely.

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 Nov 6 2014, 07:01 PM

Please can I have let it go position?
Thanks

Posted by: James1987 Nov 6 2014, 07:38 PM

I'm really hoping he could get a weekend boost but I've resigned myself to the fact Ed will get it sadly

I just hope he doesn't do the double and Cheryl can just hold on but I reckon sales will be extremely close. But I think I Don't Care will have a chart run similar to that of Promise This than CSL

Posted by: steve201 Nov 6 2014, 08:16 PM

Ha brillant to see - I forgot about his reappearance - sales are quite low down there at the mo!

Where is Hozier and Pharrell in today's update?

Posted by: mr_aly Nov 6 2014, 08:33 PM

You are aware it's a different person responsible for the Ella thing, right?

Posted by: MrIndependent Nov 6 2014, 09:00 PM

Although Calvin should have good weekend sales what with the whole club scene being intact with his music and simply people buying more albums at the weekend, Ed is a really strong weekend seller. I really don't see how Calvin stands any hope of being #1 at this point.

Posted by: hotchoc26 Nov 6 2014, 10:36 PM

Sorry to sound paranoid, but is it me you're referring to?

Posted by: mr_aly Nov 6 2014, 10:38 PM

Posted by: florenceminogue Nov 7 2014, 08:36 AM

I'd like to see John Legend end up at #7.

That's the only chart position within the Top 10 that he hasn't occupied during the song's chart-run (apart from the obvious #1 spot)

Disappointing that Calvin Harris is unlikely to make no1 album now. How much did 18 months sell in the first week?

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ Nov 7 2014, 11:49 AM

52,356

Posted by: gooddelta Nov 7 2014, 11:52 AM

He should have experimented with his sound a bit. This album feels like an 18 Months repack with a bonus disc of songs that fit within the sound of that era.

For what it's worth I do like the album but there's only so long anybody can keep retreading the same ground without seeing diminishing returns. The Haim track shows that he's not a one trick pony, so there's still promise there for future creativity.

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ Nov 7 2014, 11:57 AM

I wonder if All Of Me will be the first #1 of 2015 with the gift card effect that would be so funny.

Posted by: GTH Nov 7 2014, 12:08 PM

I agree, it really should have just been done as a repackage of 18 Months. Just sounds like he is repeating what sold him singles and albums last time round. Getting a bit bored of the formula now, which is a shame as I know he can be more creative with his music (based off of the stuff he released before the 18 Months era).

I am loving your user pic btw!!!

Posted by: hotchoc26 Nov 7 2014, 02:35 PM

Yes but what exactly was Martin trying to say? That when christmas comes up people will be getting gift cards to buy All Of Me with and because of this will get it to #1 next year? Surely everyone's heard of this song and bought it by now

Posted by: { bré } Nov 7 2014, 02:58 PM

Old songs always climb back up the chart from the gift card effect. It won't exactly get to #1 but it'll doubtless get a boost from it.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 7 2014, 03:00 PM

Yep, because a lot of people who get gift cards are the types who don't usually ever buy music on iTunes, so won't have all the big hits of the year.

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ Nov 7 2014, 03:10 PM

And we have top 5 sales, added with the update.

Terrible sales for the singles.

Is the Poppy Apeal song out of the top 40?

Posted by: CherylStyles Nov 7 2014, 03:12 PM

Cheryl still around 15k ahead! Ed won't be outselling her by 7.5k a day so I'm fairly sure she'll have it in the bag now

Posted by: Dobbo Nov 7 2014, 03:15 PM

Rather comfortable for Cheryl in the end then.

Posted by: ▬Mart!n▬ Nov 7 2014, 03:17 PM

Out of the 40, otherwise it would have been listed with the update.

I was more curious about their current midweek statuses.

Posted by: Hayzayy Nov 7 2014, 03:25 PM

A 14,9k lead today, compared to a 16,4k lead yesterday.
Ed has only gained 1,5k on Cheryl yesterday then! She should be safe now

Posted by: Dobbo Nov 7 2014, 03:29 PM

OH that's why she was in the update? I had no idea, I was rather surprised myself I didn't think she was still relevant!
