Posted by: SevenSeize 16th June 2019, 04:47 PM
Sheeran & Bieber could make it five weeks at #1 on the singles chart, expect big new entries for Little Mix with Bounce Back marking their first release under RCA, and Taylor Swift with You Need To Calm Down serving as the lead-in to her upcoming album 'Lover'. There's also a double Drake release with Omertá/Money in the Grave
Huge battle in the album chart, Bruce Springsteen's Western Stars may give him an 11th number one, while Madonna chases her 13th with Madame X. Bastille follow up two chart-topping albums with Doom Days, while there's new releases from Kate Tempest and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds with the Black Star Dancing EP

it's a pity Mint Royale doesn't seem to care about the charts anymore
would be interested who's in front in albums at this stage
Posted by: SKOB 16th June 2019, 05:41 PM
Will OTR be on ACR then?
Posted by: Bjork 16th June 2019, 05:42 PM
^ Yes
Posted by: Steve201 16th June 2019, 07:28 PM
Thought it may have went back to no1 this week too as it's quite a bit ahead of Ed this week!
Posted by: lewistgreen 16th June 2019, 07:30 PM
Initial thoughts on Little Mix then? Top 20?
Posted by: Jordan Lee 16th June 2019, 07:30 PM
I think LM will enter between 7-10.
Gonna predict number 8 I think.
Posted by: timjimlee 16th June 2019, 07:32 PM
Many thanks for opening this thread early this week, likely to be an interesting one both in the Singles and Albums where I'm rooting for Bastille to do well but suspect Bruce will triumph.
Incidentally, Sheeran & Bieber have all ready made it five weeks at #1 on the singles chart and are shooting for six, looking strong favourites to achieve that at this point.
Posted by: SKOB 16th June 2019, 07:47 PM
We'll probably see IDC number one for 9 weeks until ACR kicks in.
Posted by: danG 16th June 2019, 08:07 PM
Interestingly Ed's album is to be released 12 July, after IDC has been in the chart for 9 weeks.
Presumingly the album tracks will receive huge streams so... IDC could potentially fall 1-OUT from being kicked onto ACR. 
Let's hope for my sanity and Cody's eyes that doesn't happen.
Posted by: gooddelta 16th June 2019, 08:11 PM
I Don’t Care would surely be the most nondescript song ever to get as many as nine weeks at No.1 hopefully something will emerge or gather enough momentum to stop that happening, it will barely be on 50k sales a week by its ninth week.
Posted by: Agenor 16th June 2019, 09:08 PM
Presumingly the album tracks will receive huge streams so... IDC could potentially fall 1-OUT from being kicked onto ACR.
Let's hope for my sanity and Cody's eyes that doesn't happen.
I believe that OCC rules state the record company chooses which 3 songs from the album will be charting, so I'm sure they will make IDC one of the three.
Posted by: danG 16th June 2019, 09:17 PM
it may be the case that the label can choose, but in the past singles have dropped out in favour of album tracks (see Ariana's 'thank u, next' falling out because of 'greedy' earlier this year) so it wouldn't surprise me if Ed's label just don't bother to make sure 'I don't care' remains in the chart.
although it is equally as likely that the song will just avoid ACR before its 9th week and it'll spend even longer at #1. hell, it may even do a 'one dance' and spend 15 weeks there due to lack of any real competition. though I suspect that another Ed album track will overtake soon enough.

Thank you for the clarification.
Posted by: Knightr634 16th June 2019, 10:02 PM
Literally seeing the back of everyone there....but Madonna
Posted by: Bré 16th June 2019, 10:19 PM
I think Shieber are gonna get away with getting 9 weeks at the top (and indeed possibly the most nondescript song to spend so long at the top if so but hey, it's clearly more popular than I thought it was going to end up being), which could well have been 4 more weeks for Lil Nas X if not for ACR. Of course 4 weeks is a long time for something big to come out and snatch the #1, or for a currently existing hit to take off enough to sneak in as Ed's numbers drop off, but Drake, Taylor and Little Mix all quite emphatically failing to do so this week just makes it feel like it's destined to happen.
9 weeks at #1 then dropping off the chart entirely would actually be kind of hilarious. It'll be like 2019's 'Crazy' by Gnarls Barkley although for very different reasons.
Posted by: girl_from_oz 17th June 2019, 12:34 PM
I'm hoping Tay Tay's new video sends her to number one
Posted by: SevenSeize 17th June 2019, 12:57 PM
Hoping Bastille can manage decent sales without a hit single, expecting around 15-20k
Think Bruce will take the #1 quite comfortably but Madge should still manage good sales with all the formats/versions they've released
Posted by: Medellíam 17th June 2019, 04:33 PM
Update in coming! Bruce is #1 in the albums, 16k ahead of Madonna.

I’m thinking Bruce will be on around 33K maybes with Madonna on 17K.

That's Bruce sorted 
Posted by: Bjork 17th June 2019, 04:51 PM
and the occ still call it a battle in the album charts even if Bruce is 16K ahead lol
Posted by: njhag 17th June 2019, 04:54 PM
Is Stormzy not releasing anything to co-incide with his Glastonbury headlining slot?
Posted by: danG 17th June 2019, 04:57 PM
I suspect Taylor and Little Mix are so high due to their strong download sales plus two of last week's top three being on ACR. They'll probably fall a little by the end of the week but should remain comfortably top ten.
A poor start for Drake but the two songs he's released aren't him at his most commercial and they don't seem to be part of a new album campaign. Again, I suspect 'Omertà' is only ahead due to download sales of the EP, and 'Money In The Grave' will almost certainly overtake by the end of the week. Shame that either track isn't doing half as well as the dull Chris Brown collab though, we really do live in a society.
Good to see Jess Glynne, AJ Tracey and Dominic Fike on the rise too, hopefully all can eventually make the top 20, and Sigala and Katy the top 10.
Not keen on the Bastille track that may make this week's top 40 (though I predict it'll fall out), they haven't released anything good in a while except for their Marshmello collab.
Surprised that B Young looks to be getting another hit, I thought he was over after 'Juice' was a huge flop. 'Gucci Demon' is decent enough, I guess.
Posted by: UltraME! 17th June 2019, 04:58 PM
Hopefully Taylor can somehow hold top 3 *.*
Posted by: Bré 17th June 2019, 05:02 PM
I feel like there must be more streaming missing than usual, LM and Taylor both seem too high and it's weird that 'Omertà' is still the higher of the two Drake tracks at the moment.
I thought Bruce would get the #1 album but didn't expect him to be that far ahead!
I actually liked both of B Young's previous top 40 hits but this new one is really tedious.
Posted by: danG 17th June 2019, 05:03 PM
Taylor is only four chart sales behind Little Mix by the way, so she should easily overtake due to stronger streaming. Could even be #2 for the week considering she has a music video out now too. Or #3 with Stormzy overtaking (much stronger audio streams)
Posted by: 777666jason 17th June 2019, 05:03 PM
Would be awesome if taylor could stay top 5 would already make it a more successful era than reputation,
Glad to see LM top 2 but likely to fall later in the week could they manage to stay top 5 though
Posted by: vibe 17th June 2019, 05:03 PM
16k ahead I was not expecting that
I thought M would be in the lead and Bruce would catch her throughout the week .
Posted by: legendsglory 17th June 2019, 05:07 PM
Do you think LM could stay top 5? I really hope so.
Posted by: Bré 17th June 2019, 05:11 PM
Surely there's no way Taylor will actually stay top 3? It's doing much lower numbers than 'ME!' everywhere. I guess the top 3 sales will be a bit weaker with 'Old Town Road' and 'Someone You Loved' going to ACR but it'd be really weird if this debuts at the same or higher position than 'ME!' when it feels like it's not done nearly as well.
Posted by: lewistgreen 17th June 2019, 05:17 PM
Ashley O in at #77 🙌
Posted by: Bré 17th June 2019, 05:20 PM
I wonder if the Ashley O song would count towards the 3 track rule for Miley if she had 2 other songs charting

Posted by: SKOB 17th June 2019, 05:26 PM
WOW great for Madge! Shame Bruce is releasing though but hey, something over 25k by Friday is amazing
Posted by: Jordan Lee 17th June 2019, 05:28 PM
I’m happy with those sales for Madonna. I predicted 17K so she’s 3,000 ahead.
Should end the week just over 30,000 sold which is hardly a major decline from the last era.
This is also her first album to be released since streaming affected the album chart in a major way.
Posted by: Bjork 17th June 2019, 05:31 PM
great sales for Bruce and pretty decent for Madonna
probably half of those are cassettes
Posted by: Medellíam 17th June 2019, 05:32 PM
For comparison, Rebel Heart was on 27,479 after 3 days of sales.
Posted by: bluebitchboy 17th June 2019, 05:33 PM
Think 20k is pretty underwhelming for Madonna tbh.
Posted by: Bré 17th June 2019, 05:34 PM
Looks like I'm wrong and sales really are just that much weaker than the last few weeks because of Lil Nas X and Lewis going to ACR
'You Need To Calm Down' has literally less than half the sales 'ME!' had in the first mids and yet is basically at the same position (technically one place lower but it'd be the same if it had 5 more sales). The Drake thing is still strange though but I guess that just comes down to the usual missing data in the Monday mids and 'Money In The Grave' should overtake probably tomorrow.
Posted by: danG 17th June 2019, 05:34 PM
Madge really should’ve released last week! Bruce was always going to beat her.
Posted by: SKOB 17th June 2019, 05:36 PM
She is beating Bruce in the US though.
Posted by: truly talented 17th June 2019, 05:37 PM
Considering she’s had good tv promo but then again it probably hasn’t done her any favours.

I agree it's disappointing she'll probably think of not bothering next time
Posted by: Brit 17th June 2019, 05:49 PM
I’m actually quite impressed by Madonna already doing 20k in the first update, I generally only expected 20k In the whole week, so has already outdone what I expected, if it does 30k this week I’ll be super impressed
Posted by: Mart!n 17th June 2019, 05:50 PM
Just click on the links in the update
Posted by: stevejb4u 17th June 2019, 05:58 PM
But that's 3 days sales for a promoted album interviews or not plus all the formats released aswell..... I'm disappointed
Posted by: Bjork 17th June 2019, 06:03 PM
but it's 2019, the album market has crashed, nobody buys albums anymore, if madonna does 30K it's a miracle
Posted by: SKOB 17th June 2019, 06:05 PM
Plus she's doing better on streaming than Bruce (globally at least, don't know the UK numbers yet)
Posted by: 777666jason 17th June 2019, 06:07 PM
Didnt realise drakes track with the devil has climbed into top 5 missed that celebrating his low debuts
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 17th June 2019, 06:07 PM
From what I have heard of both albums Bruce seems stronger overall than Madonna. Little Mix should be safe for top 10 debut.
Posted by: bluebitchboy 17th June 2019, 06:08 PM
Exactly
Rainbow vinyl
Clear vinyl
Black vinyl
Deluxe cd
Standard cd
Cassette
Kylie had the same amount of formats when she released last year and did 48k week one, so Madonna perhaps scraping 30k isn't exactly amazing.

Kylie had fantastic UK promo though, it wasn't all down to multiple formats.
Posted by: SKOB 17th June 2019, 06:16 PM
I wouldn't compare Kylie (UK and AUS are her core markets) to Madonna who has such a Latin and Portugal (and Brazil) focused album this time around. Faz Gostoso for instance reached #2 on Spotify in Brazil because it features Anitta.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 17th June 2019, 06:21 PM
That's really not bad at all for Madonna, I was expecting her to do 23-24k for the entire week.
Should be safe for #2 I'd say!
Posted by: Bjork 17th June 2019, 06:22 PM
lol just because someone puts out a lot of formats doesn't mean all fans are gonna buy ALL of them, sure that helps but miracles don't happen
Madonna lost her power to sell albums a long time ago, 30K in 1 week is just fine
Posted by: ThePensmith 17th June 2019, 06:25 PM
Not surprised in the least bit to see Bruce Springsteen at number one, they had copies at the till in my HMV on Saturday prominently displayed and were also playing it in store (although I mistakenly thought it was Mark Knopfler. Oops).

Posted by: Charis 17th June 2019, 09:11 PM
probably not, it was already a no.1...
Posted by: Charis 17th June 2019, 09:14 PM
both will chart out of Top 5 though, lucky to be top 10.
Posted by: Supercell 18th June 2019, 04:48 AM
Really hope Katy reaches the top 10 at some point, I feel like it will be a grower. One of the best songs she's ever done imho, love the original sample as well.
Posted by: Dark Horse 18th June 2019, 06:46 AM
Kylie had the same amount of formats when she released last year and did 48k week one, so Madonna perhaps scraping 30k isn't exactly amazing.
Not to mention that Kylie’s album is 100 times better than Madonna’s awful new album... i’m a big Madonna fan but this album is by far the worst she has ever released in terms of music quality, even worse than American Life, Hard Candy and MDNA...

Posted by: stevejb4u 18th June 2019, 12:26 PM
You agree Madame X is an awful album??
A.L was ok in my mind i not listened to it since but like all her albums there is usually some good and some not so good ( album fillers as they call them) To say Madame x is awful is untrue its arty, creative its whats inspired her not the charts She dont need hits singles but GOD CONTROL is awesome it was so unexpected upon fist listen to turn out to be a disco stomper and the subject matter only Madonna could do that!
Posted by: SKOB 18th June 2019, 12:27 PM
To fuel the fire, the lead single of Madame X has already surpassed the lead single of Golden on Spotify listens and several tracks on the album have already (in 4 days) done better than album tracks on Golden (after a year).

Posted by: Jordan Lee 18th June 2019, 01:22 PM
I knew Kylie fans would revel in Madonna being #2 but it makes no sense.
Kylies album was about as commercial and pop like as you can get. Vague hints of country but it was PURE POP.
Madonna’s is the opposite of that it’s not commercial at all aside from a few songs like Come Alive and I Don’t Search I Find.
Madonna and Kylie aren’t much alike at all my opinion. Kylies like an Australian Britney to me she’s not similar to Madonna in any way.
Posted by: ddarko77 18th June 2019, 01:25 PM
That is mainly thanks to Maluma though. Her first solo single from the album barely has 3m streams.
Faz Gostoso will also do well thanks to Annita.
Posted by: pippa 18th June 2019, 01:35 PM
I don't enjoy the Kylie and Madonna comparisons at all.
They have never been in competition with each other and they both respect each other and additionally they both have some of the same fans.
I am a fan of both but prefer Kylie's overall output but Madonna has released some highly enjoyable albums too although her new album does nothing for me.

Seriously? I think Madame X is brilliant. Easily her best album in years.

At least Kylie is not alienating her actual fanbase in order to get younger ones, she releases music for her fans which she knows mostly consists of gay men and middle aged women,
on the other hand, Madonna is so desperatly trying to be relevant to the younger demographic that she keeps guest featuring any relevant rapper starting with Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Drake, Swae Lee, Quavo, Maluma , Kanye etc....that she forgot who she wants to please, she keeps repeating and rehashing the same ideas and themes over and over such as politics, christianity,sex...
Kylie is all about fun and good music, she’s the Goddess of Pop and a worldwide icon, even if she hasn’t had a huge career in the US but she’s famous everywhere else...Madonna is the Queen of Pop but in my opinion she should’ve retired right after her 2009 Greatest Hits album...
Posted by: vibe 18th June 2019, 05:36 PM
Look at all the Kylie fans getting petty.
Madonna is nearly 61 and has put out a creative masterpiece. She is setting trends by not allowing her age to define what music she releases. Chasing a younger audience is BS , she isn’t stupid. Why should she release an album full of middle of the road jams?

I’m a fan of Kylies and agree why most of your post. Not the retirement part but Madonna does try and get younger audiences on board a lot more.
I’m a bigger fan of Madonna than I am Kylie though as I feel she’s the more daring artist of the two.
Posted by: slowdown73 18th June 2019, 05:43 PM
Madonna’s new album is quite experimental and I wasn’t keen on the singles but there is better stuff on the album. However, golden is a far better album for me overall and easier to listen to in comparison. I prefer Kylies voice on golden as Madonna’s sounds very auto tuned.
Posted by: djsakgra 18th June 2019, 05:51 PM
I m a big fan of Madonna and Kylie but both of them last albums are not thealbums that i will going to listen from time to time in the future.although as a fan i bought them for the collection.Madame X is bit better from Golden...more arty and expiramental

Why are you kidding yourself? She isn't 'setting trends' she clearly isn't selling at all outside her usual fanbase.
Posted by: pippa 18th June 2019, 06:12 PM
Golden was a highly solid album by Kylie and an album i will revisit many times in the future, not her best album but it is better than some of her previous releases.
Kiss Me Once is the Kylie album that was highly disappointing and an album i felt was targeted to trying to get a new fan base ahead of serving the existing loyal fanbase.
It became clear Kylie learned from this mistake and moved on swiftly from it (also nothing from the album features on her upcoming Greatest Hits).
Madonna with her album is showing signs she is trying to appeal to younger audiences working with what is seen as relevant people in the industry and early signs are showing it isn't doing that and i am unsure has she managed to keep her fanbase happy either.
Madonna's new album i wont be purchasing as i find the style underwhelming and i am not as hung up on completing my Madonna collection as i am with Kylie.
Both Kylie and Madonna have not feared the dare to try new sounds which is why both have such impressive catalogues to their names.

It's archaic, ageist, misogynistic mindsets like this that make me so proud that Madonna is continuing to do what she wants with her life and not be silenced or retire from her passion for ANYONE let alone non entities and internet trolls.
This is proof that her battle and attitude to growing 'old' on her own terms is one still worth fighting for.
What typical nonsense this thread is showing to pit two of the most successful women of all time against each other rather than celebrate their successes and differences.
Posted by: Common Sense 18th June 2019, 06:29 PM
Sorry but she hasn't. I've been a Madonna fan since her first album in 1983 and this one is okay but nothing special. Like A Prayer and Ray Of Light were masterpieces. This definitely isn't.

She is opening doors for when Beyoncé , Rihanna etc hit 60.
They know they won’t have to shrivel up and die.
Madonna stills sells out Kylie. Celebration and Immaculate never leave the charts.
Kylie can’t fill a stadium , can’t dance , can’t write , can’t produce . She is nothing compared to Madonna. I like Kylie btw but let’s not pretend they are in the same league .

Seriously Madonna is not interested in charts she's don't need the money, she loves music & has released an album of music thats influenced her over the past few years since Rebel Heart. It's brought out her creativity & experimental side again Something she's not done fur a while
Kylie stays safe she tried indie it flopped, she's always been pure pop I like Kylie have many albums & singles but to say Madonna is not fun is joke. Hung Up is camp/fun like Going Bananas is or Bitch I'm Madonna in a way to name a few
The new album is her strongest in a while and critics praised it alot, she collaborated with people she likes or listens to at home perhaps! Swae Lee is hardly well known I never heard of him till Madonna came along likewise with Anitta for me I don't listen to that style of music but she chose as likes there style or sound If she wanted a hot she'd perform it
She's not a plugger like Kylie and Golden only worked as she was non stop promoting it here in UK. Now another greatest hits is coming out next week.... Yawn!!!

Only just checked the mids - I’m sure I’m repeating what others have said (I haven’t gone through all 6 pages yet ) but incredible that Bruce has such a lead, I know he’s a force in albums but really thought Madge would give him more of a run for his money in the early updates!
Posted by: Mart!n 18th June 2019, 09:29 PM
I like both artists, I have supported them from day 1, and grew up listening to their music, I haven't got the album yet, so I can't say if this is her best yet, but Madonna's recent output before this release has been poor, and the reviews I've been reading is probably her best for such a long time.
Its like comparing pears with peaches, fighting who is the best of the two artists in this thread topic.
I know there is lack of mids this week, but its nice to have discussion now and than, instead of having 4-5 pages of mid talk all week.
In a few weeks time we going to have this debate again when Kylie releases her new album

yes indeed it is a creative masterpiece
one two cha cha cha is a creative masterpiece... just put it at the Louvres museum next to La Joconde...the problem is that old Madonna just cannot accept that she’s no longer relevant, thats why she triies to include all these rappers and current singers in order to appeal to a young audience...
Just look at the B!tch I’m Madonna video and you’ll see what i’m talking about... or maybe try her video for Crave where she acts like a dumb teenager...pathetic really... she’s the Queen of Pop, she should not stoop to this level...

Bastille without the support of a major hit are doing reasonably well.
But if comparable to their last album it has disappointing sales.
Madonna surely is safe for Number 2 unless her sales completely stop and Lewis Capali's sales start increasing for the remainder of the week.

Since the previous update Bruce Springsteen has extended the lead.
From the previous update:
Bruce Springsteen has sold 7,728
Madonna 3,417
Lewis Capaldi 6,254
With sales of 7,304 now between Madonna and Lewis Capaldi i am starting to think Madonna will hold her Number 2 position but, with a close race.
I would greatly welcome Little Mix holding on for a Top 10 debut and not close the week at Number 11.

I hope we get a total for Unknown Pleasures on Friday. It was automatically updated to a Gold certification in July 2013 as part of the BPI's big update for sales of 100k+ since 1994 but it's such a classic album that it could easily be close to Platinum now. Impressive for an album that only spent a week in the chart at #71, which was before the BPI tracking period.

I'd imagine the Spice Girls will get a welcome boost two weeks from now when the Greatest Hits picture disc gets released (that's still being released, right? I know they pushed back the release date to 28th June but that was the last I heard).

Madonna didn’t really sell much since yesterday’s update??
Posted by: pippa 20th June 2019, 05:30 PM
Madonna only sold a couple of hundred but looks safe for Number 2.
Bruce Springsteen looking at 50k opening sales which is a great outcome for the campaign.

This is proof that her battle and attitude to growing 'old' on her own terms is one still worth fighting for.
What typical nonsense this thread is showing to pit two of the most successful women of all time against each other rather than celebrate their successes and differences.
And that is that. Someone with some sense has spoken.
At 60 years-old, in 2019, with an experimental album inspired by Portugal — #2 is a good result.

A few places down from last week
Posted by: SKOB 20th June 2019, 07:17 PM
700 or 800 (depending on rounding the figures) is more than "couple of hundred"

Can Lewis catch madge when all the streaming has been added ?
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 20th June 2019, 08:04 PM
Are we sure that something isn't amiss with Madonna here? I mean, to go from selling 4k one day to selling 800 copies the next just doesn't quite seem logistically possible.
Posted by: 777666jason 20th June 2019, 08:06 PM
Hoping TS can stay above CB hopefully she can outpeak RFI and can make this a bigger era than reputation
Hopefully LM stay top 10 but could be looking at lowest charting lead single for them
Posted by: Nick Jonas 20th June 2019, 08:14 PM
There was no Tuesday update, so she sold 4K over two days.
Posted by: Bjork 20th June 2019, 08:17 PM
everybody has dropped a lot in this update cos sales are very low on Wednesdays, not just Madonna
Bruce only did 1.9K, Madonna 800 copies, Bastille 700 copies

Absolutely! I thought Bruce would suffer with this album given it’s a covers album and seems to be pretty low key!
Posted by: pippa 20th June 2019, 08:21 PM
Madonna i think is ahead by enough to have a Number 2 debut.
Lewis Capaldi wont be far behind at Number 3.

I dont think its the lead, they were asked if its going to be included on the new album and they said they didnt know. Its probably just the "Only You" of this album. (If its even included at all)
Posted by: Bjork 20th June 2019, 09:26 PM
What you talking about?
It's not a covers album
and it's his first studio album of new material in ages
plus its been universally acclaimed by critics and fans as his best in ages
it's the opposite of low key
Posted by: Steve201 20th June 2019, 09:26 PM
LM looking like a top 10 debut and for those who think it could be 'their lowest charting single yet' if it's a good song that impacts with the public it could easily rise in the coming weeks just like that Splanlish track they released last year.
Hope 3 Nights enters the top 20 and does anyone know whether No Guidance has a chance of a top 5 finish? Also hope Summer Nights stays in the top 40.
Wonderful to see La Fontaines in the top 30 in the albums chart!
Posted by: JosephAvery 20th June 2019, 09:30 PM
Nobody thinks Bounce Back will be LM's lowest charting single yet. It's going to chart top 10 - their lowest is #22 for Think About Us earlier this year. Reggaetón Lento debuted and peaked at #5 in 2017 - it didn't climb any higher (though it returned to #5 twice).

Sorry I should have clarified or quoted but was responding to 777666Jasons post above when I stated that.
