Fresh from his Super Bowl Halftime Show, does Justin Timberlake have the power to replace The Greatest Showman soundtrack at #1 with his new album Man of the Woods? Other new entries should include albums from Don Broco, Field Music, Hookworms, Rae Morris and Simple Minds.

Drake seems set for another week at #1 in the singles, but with 'These Days' by Rudimental, Jess Glynne and Macklemore climbing fast, is his days at #1 numbered? The Weeknd & Kendrick Lamar's 'Pray for Me' should enter the Top 40, with Justin Timberlake's 'Say Something' and 'Filthy' looking likely to see boosts from his album streams.

Was expecting JT to be a #1 debut?

Nice collection of entries and re-entries at the bottom of the top 40 too - that Hailee Steinfeld song has been around for so long now, how come it's picking up some traction now?

Posted by: danG Feb 5 2018, 02:58 PM

Rudimental at #2 is amazing to see, really hope they push it to #1 next week it actually seems quite possible now.

Good to see B Young and Kojo Funds top 40 at this stage too, not sure if Kojo will make it this week but it should quite easily peak in the top 20.

Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef Feb 5 2018, 03:03 PM

Well, he should do a bit better than Witness at least, 4-6k more.

Posted by: Bré Feb 5 2018, 03:16 PM

Wow, that's really bad for Justin... I thought he might miss out to The Greatest Showman but not by that much. TGS is really gonna be #1 for months at this rate.

Posted by: SKOB Feb 5 2018, 03:22 PM

Until the BRITS i guess

Posted by: Mart!n Feb 5 2018, 03:25 PM

Yep, only for a week though, I swear Dua Lipa will do it the week after, The BRITs are televised on the 21st Feb

Posted by: danG Feb 5 2018, 03:27 PM

Ed Sheeran may have something to say about that.

Posted by: John-James Feb 5 2018, 03:29 PM

Pitiful sales for JT. Is he even going to top Camila's first week?

Posted by: Mart!n Feb 5 2018, 03:32 PM

will he make up the sales in a day and a bit

Posted by: Bjork Feb 5 2018, 03:40 PM

oh my even lower than expected after minty's comments, might not even do 20k

Posted by: Hadji Feb 5 2018, 03:43 PM

BRITs is on a Wednesday which means it will have two days of sales. If Ed performs “Perfect” which I hope he doesn’t, it might not be enough for it to go back to SCR which is good

Posted by: Mart!n Feb 5 2018, 03:45 PM

Wednesday evening... when its televised... a day

Posted by: Jack Feb 5 2018, 03:54 PM

Hoping this is the week Hailee can FINALLY get Top 40 with 'Let Me Go'.

Posted by: Hadji Feb 5 2018, 03:56 PM

I know. It might have a bit of an impact on 23rd Feb chart but it will have more of an impact the chart after

Posted by: dennispennis123 Feb 5 2018, 03:58 PM

Hailee Steinfeld feat. Alesso, Florida Georgia Line & watt - Let Me Go has been around for ages. Be nice if it finally goes Top 40, I was enjoying months ago and was sort of over it before Xmas!

Posted by: Bjork Feb 5 2018, 04:03 PM

hopefully portugal the man stays top 10
and tom walker and hailee top 40

Posted by: sammy01 Feb 5 2018, 04:13 PM

The greatest showman will be the biggest selling album of the year. Keala is performing This is me is on Graham Norton this Friday and at the Oscars. Plus it will have the dvd release and everyone singing This is me on X factor this year.

It wont even be close in the race to YE biggest selling album.

Posted by: Bjork Feb 5 2018, 04:17 PM

cannot really see the appeal of the Greatest showman soundtrack, or the This is Me song, too much shouting

i was hoping they'd give the oscar for best song to Sufjan Stevens for Mystery of love, but I guess he won't, since he's not even been invited to perform :/

Posted by: Bré Feb 5 2018, 04:20 PM

What do you think the BRITs will boost to #1? I guess Ed Sheeran is the obvious answer but I don't know if he will, TGS is massively outselling him each week now and showing no signs of slowing down.

Posted by: sammy01 Feb 5 2018, 04:23 PM

I thought the film was great and the music is so feel good. I'm pleased something different that has grown organically is ruling the charts right now.

Posted by: Knightr634 Feb 5 2018, 05:01 PM

I would imagine the Mamma Mia 2 soundtrack doing well this summer too. Could be a battle of the soundtrack albums?

Posted by: Frooot Feb 5 2018, 05:03 PM

That's tragic sales for Timberlake, I'm wondering he could possibly drop down to #3? But i'm guessing the gap will be closed tomorrow before TGS extends their lead during the remainder of the week.

Posted by: Bjork Feb 5 2018, 05:03 PM

everybody knows the best album of the year is gonna be Jess glynne album 2

Posted by: danG Feb 5 2018, 05:22 PM

well obviously, queen's gotta reclaim that chart throne.

Posted by: 777666jason Feb 5 2018, 05:39 PM

Never underestimate him Never if anyone can he can

Posted by: cqmerqn Feb 5 2018, 06:10 PM

Shocking for JT. Fully deserved though after the awful singles.

Kojo & Raye debuting top 40!

Rudimental at #2 already!! This is great news for Jess Glynne.

Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef Feb 5 2018, 06:13 PM

2 new entries behind - he could end at #4, just like Witness!!

Posted by: timjimlee Feb 5 2018, 06:23 PM

Witness entered at #6 - he will be all right for Top 3.

Simple Minds on course for Top 5 will be an excellent result for them.

Posted by: Mart!n Feb 5 2018, 06:28 PM

I never thought Simple Minds would get a top 3 placing with this album, its actually pretty good, been listening to it in the background, goes to show there is still Simple Minds fans out there, and probably gathering up new fans, there is still life in old bands/ acts, OMD, Gary Numan, etc etc.

Posted by: timberlake_x Feb 5 2018, 06:29 PM

Justins album is shiaight.

Wheres craig david single and album? 😚

Posted by: Jason Feb 5 2018, 06:43 PM

Craig David's album down from #2 to #17 I was expecting a big drop but not that big.
I Know You is currently at #10.

HA at Timberlake's sales. After his forgettable Super Bowl performance I can't see him at number 1 this Friday.

Posted by: girl_from_oz Feb 5 2018, 06:46 PM

Incredible how well some of these film soundtracks have sold lately, I expect Black Panther soundtrack will be a huge seller but will ofcourse be in compilation charts

Posted by: The Hit Parade Feb 5 2018, 07:24 PM

Presumably if everybody who's on the record buys a copy that will be enough to get it a Top 40 placing?

Posted by: Mullo Feb 5 2018, 08:26 PM

Nice to see Kylie move back into the top 100

Posted by: Mrarianit/500 Feb 5 2018, 10:37 PM

I think Justin will be fine, maybe even No.1 with the promo from the BRITS and Superbowl.

Posted by: GTH Feb 5 2018, 11:00 PM

With the right song(s) performed, he could do very well off the back of it. The Brits were fundamental to mirror being as successful as it was over here. Fingers crossed for Say Something.

Posted by: tommie Feb 5 2018, 11:32 PM

Tragic for Timbersnake, but oh so well deserved.

Posted by: Jei-boy Feb 6 2018, 12:12 PM

Any chances for Rudimental and Jess snatching #1 either this week or the next?

Posted by: Dark Horse Feb 6 2018, 05:14 PM

He's selling in huge numbers in the US so i dont think he minds just being top 3 in the UK...

Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef Feb 6 2018, 06:03 PM

middling* numbers.

When the top two results on google for the album are not about sales, but THIS, which btw is even worse press than Witness,


"1.) 21 hours ago - 'It is embarrassing': Critics tear apart Justin Timberlake's 'baffling, vacuous' album Man Of The Woods, claiming the flop proves he is no longer worthy of pop superstar status. ... Justin Timberlake's new album is out, and the scathing reviews are in. Man Of The Woods, the former ..."


2.) "Is Justin Timberlake's New Album Really That Bad? An Investigation"

He'll likely mind. Still, he had a good run, but pop stars don't last forever.

Posted by: Lomadz Feb 6 2018, 06:21 PM

Are mods going to let the chart prediction thread be overrun by the Justin hate. Am I really the only one unhappy about this. Funny that most your favourite artists would die for a top 2 UK album and no1 us...this hate is horrible.

Posted by: Bré Feb 6 2018, 06:23 PM

This is a discussion forum, people are free to air their opinions xx

Posted by: JosephSivan Feb 6 2018, 06:23 PM

People are allowed to share their opinions, even if they're different to your own. You're welcome to debate their opinions if you wish, in a mature and adult way.

Posted by: danG Feb 6 2018, 06:23 PM

do we have to keep comparing it with Witness just because both are albums which underperformed commercially and critically though?

by the way his songs got a https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8098189/justin-timberlake-super-bowl-halftime-show-sales-gain in the US following his Super Bowl performance, and the album is projected to sell at least https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/justin-timberlakes-man-of-the-woods-first-week-sales-projections-report-news.43301.html, you can't say that's bad.

Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef Feb 6 2018, 06:33 PM

Witness did 180k and Joanne did 201k, both without the Superbowl to help them.

The music industry has been VERY supportive of male singers these past two years too, so all in all those sales for a fanbase pop act, like any of those 3, aren't the best.

You are reet tbh, a lot of my faves are flops these days :cheeseblock: Doesn't affect me much tbh, still love Bon Appetit etc

Posted by: cqmerqn Feb 6 2018, 06:33 PM

You’re overriding the chart forum with aggressiveness

Posted by: cqmerqn Feb 6 2018, 06:35 PM

Yup. IMO 300k isn’t that great when you consider Super Bowl! P!nk did nearly 400k without SB!!

Posted by: Jonjo Feb 6 2018, 06:38 PM

P!nk was Q4 though. Neither the Superbowl nor low-ish sales happen at that time...

But... can P!nk please do the Superbowl next year?

Posted by: SKOB Feb 6 2018, 06:39 PM

Pink had the concert ticket bundle, also Witness had it. But still, JT's prediction went down after the SB so the boost didn't affect it as much as his past singles.

Posted by: slowdown73 Feb 6 2018, 07:04 PM

Ive read on another forum Kylie was 76 in first midweeks.

Posted by: Lomadz Feb 6 2018, 07:05 PM

Katy Perry is an Embarrassment. Album was shocking. JT is smashing it and just about to do a massive worldwide hit tour. TALENT ALWAYS WINS

Posted by: cqmerqn Feb 6 2018, 07:07 PM

No she is not. I bet you didn’t even listen to it.

How old are you? 5?

Posted by: Lomadz Feb 6 2018, 07:09 PM

33 actually. I listened to it all the way through. That album flopped because it was awful, JT is not doing as well because of the hate surrounding him at the moment. Roulette was quite good but she can do a lot better and the last era was shocking. Hope she comes back stronger tbf.

Can you not do a personal attack please, I've been warned for that!

Posted by: T Boy Feb 6 2018, 07:13 PM

I think that the general consensus in this thread is that, unless you’re Pink, your comebacks will always flop.

Posted by: Mart!n Feb 6 2018, 07:18 PM

Can you guys just chill out and get along

Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef Feb 6 2018, 07:24 PM

The N Sync boybander is now talent? lol

JT's album is also shockingly bad. It's why it's flopping, just like Katy's.

Check back on the press. They are FAR WORSE ON WOMEN. Look at what Katy's press was like. WAAAAY worse than anything JT has got. WAAAY worse.

Posted by: Midge Feb 6 2018, 07:29 PM

Taste is subjective. Hell, I think Drake's "God's Plan" is abysmal, but clearly some people like it or it wouldn't be number 1, and that's fine - not for me to get hissy about. Can people please get over the fact some of us like one thing, and some of us don't?

Personally I love "Man Of The Woods", I haven't binged a JT album like I have this one.

Posted by: Lomadz Feb 6 2018, 07:31 PM

Not true at all. He has got so much crap for being a white male and apparently being a culture vulture etc.

NSYNC were massive and yes he is very talented. He is my idol and it's hard to see the press at the moment etc. Just don't like seeing the constant negativity on a site I have followed for years. Higher and higher alone is better than most songs put out lately. Just happy he's not following trend and can still do well over 20 years later.

Posted by: Lomadz Feb 6 2018, 07:32 PM

Very fair point, I just couldn't take the constant hate directed at JT.


Very surprised that Lady Gaga had a bigger boost than JT

Justin Charts
@jtcharts
·
19h
Artists with the biggest digital sales boost afete their Superbowl Halftime Show ever:

#1 Lady Gaga - 980% sales boost
#2 Justin Timberlake - 534% sales boost
#3 Katy Perry - 480% sales boost
#4 Beyoncé - 420% sales boost

JT and Beyonce are the two biggest to do it in recent years and they are only 2nd and 4th.

Anyways back on track yeah

Posted by: Midge Feb 6 2018, 07:39 PM

Well we can enjoy his album and the rest can miss out can’t they

Posted by: timjimlee Feb 6 2018, 08:06 PM

It was Groundhog Day last Friday, I think we are in Groundhog Week.

Posted by: Hayzayy Feb 7 2018, 08:12 AM

The percentage of sales boost means nothing, because if the artist was selling 1 copies before the show and 100 copies after the show, he as a 100% boost, while if the artist was selling 200 copies before the show and 2.000 copies after the show, he "only" has a 10% boost while selling way more than the first example.
Basically, the poorest the sales were before the Superbowl, the higher the sales boost percentage can be.

Posted by: sammy01 Feb 7 2018, 08:20 AM

Whilst your reasoning is spot on your maths is terrible 🙈

Posted by: Hayzayy Feb 7 2018, 08:35 AM

Lmao yes sorry, just realised I got lost with the percentages

Posted by: SKOB Feb 7 2018, 09:27 AM

It's not common that album is released on the same week than SB happens though. It's not really comparable.

Posted by: FleetSeb Feb 7 2018, 09:49 AM

Interesting commentary on the JT backlash with some discussion of album sales: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-42959415

Posted by: FleetSeb Feb 7 2018, 09:52 AM

Exactly, for example, Beyonce had no new music out when she did the Super Bowl. BEYONCE wouldn't drop until the end of the year.

Posted by: Joe. Feb 7 2018, 11:39 AM

Last year Gaga climbed from #88 to #11 in the album charts off the back of the Superbowl.

It's release week for JT so his hype should be even bigger, yet he's only sold 3.3k since Monday's mids...

Posted by: SKOB Feb 7 2018, 12:32 PM

Yep not looking good either way

Posted by: Steve201 Feb 7 2018, 04:17 PM

I mean, I'm no fan of Pitchfork and their awful site but that is commentary GOLD!

NO OTHER SALES INFO

My favourite to date is on The Spinoff where they renamed the album "Man Who Went Camping Once"(!) and stated:

I don’t know why this album is called Man of the Woods. The whole thing is an attempt by Timberlake to go back to his roots but it doesn’t feel like his memory goes back beyond about 2005. More accurate titles would include: Man Who Did a Photoshoot in the Woods, Man Who Did a Photoshoot in Front of a Green Screen and Was Then Placed in Front of the Woods, Man Who Went Camping Once, and Man Who Has Photos of the Woods in His Apartment.

boo looks like ed will catch simple minds easily :/

Posted by: Jason Feb 7 2018, 07:08 PM

Tom Walker will miss out on Top 40 again - he's only #76 on Spotify.
On the other hand, Kojo Funds and Hailee are very likely to be top 40 this Friday.

Posted by: cqmerqn Feb 7 2018, 07:09 PM

Hope Rudimental stays #2

Posted by: Cameron Feb 7 2018, 07:22 PM

Hailee to cling for her life

Posted by: Steve201 Feb 7 2018, 07:46 PM

Spare a thought for poor brave Tom Walker!!

Good to see the top 5 albums looking like breaking 10k and I hope Justin can manage 20k for his stake.

I hope My Lover reaches a new peak!

Posted by: 777666jason Feb 7 2018, 08:14 PM

Glad TGS blocked JT so he didn’t get an easy number 1 with criminally low sales for him

Posted by: Lukuzz Feb 7 2018, 08:20 PM

YES at This Is Me being number 6. Hope it can stick there come Friday

Posted by: jafetsigfinns Feb 7 2018, 09:23 PM

Any idea where Sigrid has landed on this latest update?

Posted by: RobS Feb 7 2018, 10:17 PM

this is probably his last chance now as well, now he's no longer on radio 1's playlist

pleasing for Portugal and also good to see several acr tracks holding firm. the big drops then stabilising really messes the chart runs up..

Posted by: danG Feb 7 2018, 10:20 PM

10+3=

Posted by: Hadji Feb 7 2018, 11:52 PM

Thought she would have recovered now her streaming is picking up

Posted by: Dexton Feb 8 2018, 01:45 AM

Sigrid is down to #5 in iTunes now though, her sales & streaming peaks aren’t matching up so her official peak isn’t really going to show her proper success at this rate. A performance at the Brits or something would boost her a lot and possibly give her an official Top 5, but that’s unlikely to happen

Posted by: M4NG0 Feb 8 2018, 10:29 AM

I don't really get why the Justin album is being slated so badly, after a couple of listens I'm actually getting into it, there are definitely some decent songs in there

Posted by: Lomadz Feb 8 2018, 10:49 AM

It's a very good album , just a massive backlash at the moment and the media are part of that. Everyone o know thinks there are some really strong songs.

The greatest showman ost is doing great, is it worth watching the film?

Posted by: SKOB Feb 8 2018, 12:27 PM

There are also so massively bad songs in there.

And the lyrics...

Posted by: GTH Feb 8 2018, 01:49 PM

‘I love her pink, she loves my purple’

Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef Feb 8 2018, 01:53 PM

It is atrocious and fake. It's like the reviewers say, man stands in front of green screen for 10 minutes and pretends he went to the woods.

Posted by: Midge Feb 8 2018, 01:56 PM

We get it - you don't like it, you don't like him...

Kojo/RAYE definitely set for top 40 then

Posted by: Midge Feb 8 2018, 02:04 PM

Hadn't realised Portugal. The Man are actually heading for the top 10 now, fab!

Justin may not even make 20k, ouch

Posted by: danG Feb 8 2018, 03:12 PM

Bad news for Tom Walker fans is he'll almost certainly be kicked out the top 40 by The Chainsmokers. Hailee Steinfeld should be safe though, but don't quote me on it.

Posted by: Mullo Feb 8 2018, 03:23 PM

anyone know if Kylie is still top 100??

Posted by: monai Feb 8 2018, 05:01 PM

Any updates for u2?thanks

Posted by: JosephSivan Feb 8 2018, 05:02 PM

I'd be very shocked if Hailee didn't make it considering streaming is on her side!

Posted by: Dexton Feb 8 2018, 05:04 PM

I'd like to place a bet now that Let Me Go will spend 7-8 weeks between 25 and 40 before succumbing to ACR and falling to like 80 despite being high in streams still

Posted by: Steve201 Feb 8 2018, 10:00 PM

Really want My Lover to peak at 14 but would also be hilarious to see Not3s/Mabel & Mabel/Not3s side by side!!
