Taking full advtantage of a quite week on the charts, Motorhead fans head a campaign to get Ace of Spades to #1 following the death of frontman Lemmy in hope of dethroning the various Biebers at the top of the chart.

As far as albums concerned, could Adele be kicked off the top spot by Elvis? Rachel Platten also releases, with a hopes of cracking the top 40 with her album Wildfire.

Friday?

I'm seriously hoping Rachel manages top 20 this week.

Posted by: JosephMendes Jan 2 2016, 03:58 PM

Oops, looks like we both did the thread at the same time Joe

My hope for this week is that Shawn Mendes can finally hit the top 10

Posted by: Doctor Blind Jan 2 2016, 03:58 PM

Ace of Spades at #2 according to @MintRoyale

Posted by: ᔕᑭIᑎᑎI&# Jan 2 2016, 04:18 PM

Wildfire to SLAY please

Posted by: Bjork Jan 2 2016, 04:22 PM

#2 really??? how come???

Posted by: ___∆___ Jan 2 2016, 04:55 PM

Campaign to get fans to download all 24 (!!) versions.

Adele #1 in albums.

Posted by: Dan_ Jan 2 2016, 05:06 PM

Also the fact that the Saturday mid update doesn't include any streaming. But I'm surprised it is as high as #2 all the same. It'll probably drop a fair bit by the Monday mid update but at this rate it could re-enter the top 40 officially.

Posted by: madollar Jan 2 2016, 08:23 PM

I think the Elvis album being a fiver this week will possibly put an end to Adele's reign at No 1

It would be amazing to have Motorhead at No 1 in the singles chart!!!!

Posted by: ___∆___ Jan 2 2016, 08:39 PM

I think Adele will get it - She's #1 in today's update and I would have expected Elvis to be ahead by now if he was going to get it. Also there were more shoppers/bargain hunters out last week that would have gone into HMV etc, I still think it will be really close those - Amazing success for him and would have been the biggest album over the holidays if it wasn't for Adele!

Motörhead are already falling on iTunes and have minimal streams - Can see them managing Top 30 though.

Posted by: Jei-boy Jan 3 2016, 12:12 AM

Where is the link that Adele is #1 please

Posted by: ___∆___ Jan 3 2016, 03:07 AM

Mint Royale tweeted it when someone asked if Adele was still #1.

Posted by: SKOB Jan 3 2016, 11:03 AM

I was predicting Bieber would have #1 album this week but probably not then.

Posted by: SKOB Jan 3 2016, 12:08 PM

Bieber's all 3 singles are likely to reach a million. Has anyone had 3 songs from same album to achieve that?

Posted by: -SCOTT- Jan 3 2016, 12:12 PM

It will most likely be 4 singles from the same album if you include Where Are You Now

Posted by: Doboggan Jan 3 2016, 12:14 PM

The Beatles I can think of but otherwise no. Maybe Pharrell should release a greatest hits?

Posted by: Hadji Jan 3 2016, 12:28 PM

My main concern is why haven't OCC published EOY charts yet for 2015?

Posted by: Joe. Jan 3 2016, 12:28 PM

Will Minty ever come to grips with the fact streaming data is always missing on a Saturday?

Posted by: slowdown73 Jan 3 2016, 01:28 PM

I'm hoping Sigma coming home can reach a top 10 position soon.

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 3 2016, 01:36 PM

Patience is a virtue they will appear at some point, we are only 3 days into 2016, they have to make sure everything is correct, after last year's fiasco

Posted by: Doctor Blind Jan 3 2016, 01:43 PM

The data is already there, Alan Jones stated that it is 'embargoed' at the moment. Not sure what they're waiting for really as there is no broadcast of the chart planned.

Posted by: T Boy Jan 3 2016, 01:51 PM

They'll probably be released tomorrow, with all the staff back in off their Christmas break.

Posted by: ___∆___ Jan 3 2016, 04:47 PM

Lots of data missing yesterday as Motörhead have taken a tumble!

Posted by: AcerBen Jan 3 2016, 04:52 PM

It's never been a problem in previous years though has it? And they managed to publish all their weekly charts on Christmas Day and New Years Day. It's all very odd.

It's a shame they couldn't do a 3 hour YE chart in the traditional Sunday slot today

Posted by: JosephMendes Jan 3 2016, 04:52 PM

Saturday mids never have streaming included

Posted by: Hadji Jan 3 2016, 05:52 PM

I just hope Motörhead can scrape the top 40. If they miss it, it will be the campaigners fault for not telling people to stream the song

Posted by: ___∆___ Jan 3 2016, 05:59 PM

I know - They have almost encouraged people not to stream - Even though the conversion from streams into sales is low it helps when people do get behind streaming that have no intention of downloading the song! I think they will be safe for Top 40 - Just!

Posted by: The Hit Parade Jan 3 2016, 06:18 PM

The Beatles didn't go around releasing lots of singles from their albums though. Their only studio album with three singles on it is Help!, and one of those was released over ten years later. I don't think compilations really count do they?

Posted by: Aphrodite Jan 3 2016, 09:12 PM

I really hope Adele can hold number 1, i dont want to see Elvis back at number 1. I hope Adele holds on for a few weeks yet. Sales will be low this week all round i think.

Posted by: Hadji Jan 3 2016, 09:25 PM

I hope Elvis can catch Adele with streaming so we can see the first album reach #1 due to streaming

Posted by: SKOB Jan 4 2016, 11:53 AM

Streaming figures for If I Can Dream are close to zero.

Posted by: vidcapper Jan 4 2016, 12:09 PM

I would be astonished if Adele was caught by Elvis - if he couldn't do it last week, on the back of very advantageous price cuts, I can't see it happening.

I can't imagine Elvis generating much in the way of streams anyway.

Posted by: fchd Jan 4 2016, 01:01 PM

It was about number 45 on the album streaming chart last week, so yes, almost zero effectively.

Posted by: Brian Quinn Jan 4 2016, 03:04 PM

Streaming is very ageist. Most older people do not use streaming or downloads and prefer physical copies for their collections. Some haven't even got a computer.

If it were just sales, artists like Elvis and Cliff Richard would be No.1 more often.

Brian

Posted by: JosephMendes Jan 4 2016, 03:10 PM

The sales chart says otherwise

Posted by: Zárate Jan 4 2016, 05:25 PM

... and you can also say that the physical sales chart is "ageist" but towards another social group?

Posted by: Bjork Jan 4 2016, 05:36 PM

Motorhead #9 today

Posted by: Rob S~ Jan 4 2016, 05:36 PM

Motorhead at 9 in the chart update. I'd say it's safe for top 30 on Friday!

Does anyone else get bored of the OCC fishing for clicks and presenting facts in certain ways to make things seem more compelling sometimes? Like this week they are saying Elvis is closing in on Adele, as he is 4k behind at this stage compared to 6k last week, where as at this stage they have probably only sold 25-30k so a 4k gap is actually percentage wise bigger than a 6k gap with them selling 70-75k.

Posted by: Zárate Jan 4 2016, 05:57 PM

It's their job to make the chart more exciting so I don't see anything bad in those tricks!

Posted by: Taylor Jago Jan 4 2016, 06:18 PM

I'm quite surprised to see Shine back in the top 40, but please hold on to get a 14th week in the top 40!

Posted by: pippa Jan 4 2016, 06:45 PM

Album sales are much higher than i expected. Singles, however, are extremely low.

Posted by: ben08 Jan 4 2016, 06:54 PM

43 New Beatles 1962-1966 (672 streams)
61 New RUBBER SOUL (559 streams)
So no. 45 had about 660 streams - not quite zero.

Posted by: Envoirment Jan 4 2016, 06:56 PM

Adele on for around 40k then? Not too bad. Hopefully she'll remain steady with "When We Were Young" rising and get a big boost from her BRITS performance next month.

Posted by: jj99-Leonanizer Jan 4 2016, 07:00 PM

Can justin do the 1-2-3?

Posted by: gooddelta Jan 4 2016, 07:01 PM

Oh wow, singles sales are set for a MAJOR slump, down to less than 70k for #1 perhaps.

Posted by: Joe. Jan 4 2016, 07:07 PM

No matter what's in front of them, Little Mix seem to have become a permanent fixture at #6 in the album charts.

I like the tracks in the top 5, but the top 5 and even top 10 could do with a good shake-up. Thank god for Shawn this week.

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 4 2016, 07:10 PM

It seems so, and its looking bleaker till DJ Fresh & High Contrast releases, unless something else drops between now and than. I love to see Zara Larsson at the top, its a lovely pop dance track but for some reason I can't see it happening.

Rachel Platten's album looks like a miss, I don't think there is many people that are into Country music.

Posted by: Zárate Jan 4 2016, 07:10 PM

I can see 99 Souls with a chance of going top-10 too instead of Motorhead! But maybe Fleur will remain above them and get that #10. Although she's lower in iTunes and on Spotify at the moment.

Posted by: Chez Wombat Jan 4 2016, 07:15 PM

I really hope Motorhead can at least stay high enough to get a chart show play on Friday, that would be amazing <3

Posted by: JosephMendes Jan 4 2016, 07:20 PM

It's not even slightly country

Posted by: mowino Jan 4 2016, 07:23 PM

Those figures are underwhelming. Are streams included?

Posted by: JosephMendes Jan 4 2016, 07:24 PM

Yup!

Posted by: joes18 Jan 4 2016, 07:28 PM

do you know how much get weird and love me like you has sold?

Posted by: JosephMendes Jan 4 2016, 07:28 PM

We don't have sales apart from what's given.

Posted by: Bjork Jan 4 2016, 07:30 PM

judging by Spotify's figures Love Yourself has dropped quite a bit relative to December, think he'll do 35k on downloads and 35k more on streaming

and LOL at Rachel being called Country

Posted by: pippa Jan 4 2016, 08:07 PM

Take That back up to number 50 in the album chart

Singles chart is boring at the moment, the Justin Bieber dominance has become very boring now. Hopefully some new releases come soon and shake the chart up. It would be wonderful if Little Mix Love Me Like You Do could make the top 10 as it has come so near, but like Kiss Me by Olly Murs, number 11 looks like its peak.

Posted by: SKOB Jan 4 2016, 08:14 PM

A cover?

Posted by: Knightr634 Jan 4 2016, 08:22 PM

Has no one noticed the error of what is at #25 on the albums?

Posted by: sammy01 Jan 4 2016, 08:27 PM

Isn't that a bit disappointing for Take That, when I caught 10 mins of the tour documentary new years eve (was it new years eve?) I thought well the album will sky rocket after this. Given the lower sales in Jan I'd have put money on it rebounding to the top 20.

Posted by: SLlewellyn Jan 4 2016, 08:28 PM

David Guetta, Snakehips and Major Lazer to all stay T40 please

And a T40 re-entry for Years & Years' "Shine" would be pretty sweet too.

Posted by: gooddelta Jan 4 2016, 08:31 PM

A fresh top 20 smash in the waiting, yay!

It's far from country music but I expect Rachel must be flopping for the same reason as Carly Rae, nobody seems to want to financially or emotionally invest in an entire album by a female pop singer that has little 'star quality' even though the music is fantastic It also would have done better if it had been released when Fight Song was smashing.

Posted by: sammy01 Jan 4 2016, 08:38 PM

I don't think star quality has anything to do with it, just most people these days don't want an albums worth of of that kind of pure pop and they don't have a built in fanbase.

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 4 2016, 08:41 PM

I just find her #1 smash very country (ish)

Posted by: gooddelta Jan 4 2016, 08:43 PM

It's more like Kelly Clarkson/Disney to me but the rest of the album is definitely pure pop.

Posted by: mr_pmt Jan 4 2016, 09:10 PM

I was about to say.

Mart!n, what the hell?

Posted by: 777666jason Jan 4 2016, 09:20 PM

Just wondering is there any paticular reason 19 amd 21 are having such bigger jumps 25 is nearly 2 months old now has she performed any of her older songs on these newer specials or just because tge chart is selling lower overall

Posted by: Bjork Jan 4 2016, 09:21 PM

has Rachel Platten done any promo for the album or the 2nd single in the UK????

Posted by: rundmck Jan 4 2016, 09:37 PM

Adele's BBC show was repeated on Friday, heavily featuring songs from, and talk about both 21 & 19

Posted by: Ethan Jan 4 2016, 10:18 PM

would love it if 99 souls sneak into the top10 this week~

Posted by: Christmaseve201 Jan 4 2016, 10:27 PM

LY streams are under 400k now according to the streaming thread whereas he was at over 500k last month.

Hopefully Snakehips and Major Lazer can rise into the top 30 by Friday - ESP the latter with its top 10 Spotify placing now!

Posted by: Christmaseve201 Jan 4 2016, 10:32 PM

It's also strange to see no albums jumping up the chart in the January sales like usually happens. The whole top 5/10 is basically static!

Posted by: Doctor Blind Jan 4 2016, 11:09 PM

They are definitely zero for Adele.

Posted by: ___∆___ Jan 5 2016, 12:32 AM

Craig David is never going to make the Top 40 and disappointed to see Birdy at #66

Posted by: ___∆___ Jan 5 2016, 12:36 AM

I thought the same - Also given that their tour DVDs have all so far sold well over 200,000+ copies the fact that you can get the album and CD for £9.99 (Less than what the standalone DVD costs) makes this a bit of a disappointment, It also hasn't helped the album has only produced 1 hit with 2 of the 4 singles released missing the Top 100.

Posted by: Hassaan Jan 5 2016, 10:29 AM

Will the album sales be back up after last week's dip?

Posted by: Joe. Jan 5 2016, 10:32 AM

Probably not, we're into Q1 now, so album sales will be low again. Album sales will jump the week after the Brits though.

Posted by: Doctor Blind Jan 5 2016, 12:58 PM

He is only 850 sales away from doing it now (down from 1297 yesterday). At that rate he should achieve it on Friday. Incredible!

Posted by: *Ben* Jan 5 2016, 03:03 PM

back up? rather back down where it was in October.

Nah, what Justin's done is rather unprecedented and it'd take an equally big artist to match his success. I can't see Shawn having more than two songs in the chart at the same time. I'm all for 'Stitches' being a long-running top 3 hit though

Posted by: Joe. Jan 6 2016, 02:43 PM

Absolutely incredible for Bieber.

Do we know many sales behind #5 'Stitches' is?

Posted by: Rafael x Jan 6 2016, 03:12 PM

Any info on Made In The A.M. and History?

Posted by: Joe. Jan 6 2016, 03:15 PM

Roughly 1.2k, looks like Shawn will be 5 on Friday from what he sold yesterday.



Made in the AM is 7 behind Little Mix and History is a non-mover.

Posted by: Rachel Spadzten Jan 6 2016, 03:17 PM

The top 40 still looks dead in terms of lack of new releases
Justin top-three-ber tho *.*

Posted by: Serg Mix Jan 6 2016, 03:18 PM

Grace is so close. Such a tune

Posted by: Stp15 Jan 6 2016, 03:19 PM

Do we know Birdys position,is she having a chance for top 40 this week

Posted by: Joe. Jan 6 2016, 03:20 PM

Birdy is 70, sorry

Posted by: gavindeejay Jan 6 2016, 03:20 PM

at Bieber having all Top 3 singles.

Good to see Motorhead looking to go Top 20 at least though!

Posted by: liamk97 Jan 6 2016, 03:20 PM

Sigma/Rita are reminding me of what Blonde's 'I Loved You' did last January by bounding up the chart again by just having stable sales in a time of declining sales rather than having big increases exactly. Would be nice if it could reach a new peak.

Posted by: Rafael x Jan 6 2016, 03:20 PM

History down to #7, and the album up to #7.

Thanks Joe.

Posted by: Dirrty Jan 6 2016, 03:25 PM

Is 99 souls far from top 10 in sales?

Posted by: Rob S~ Jan 6 2016, 03:25 PM

Where's Snakehips? Surely that can't not be top 40 with it's iTunes & streaming positions during the week

Posted by: Hadji Jan 6 2016, 03:26 PM

How can "Lean On" be on course to re-enter and "All My Friends" is not on course to enter the top 40 when "All My Friends" is a bit behind on streaming and way ahead on sales?

Posted by: Camilla Melissa Jan 6 2016, 03:26 PM

Does Get Weird has a chance to enter the top 5 this week?

Posted by: Davidson Jan 6 2016, 03:28 PM

Snakehips must be somewhere in that update, no?

They were #33 in the first mids and are now all the way up to #13 on iTunes and into the top 30 on Spotify, so it could only have risen.

Posted by: Joe. Jan 6 2016, 03:29 PM

I left off Snakehips, sorry my mistake. I've added it in now

Posted by: Hadji Jan 6 2016, 03:31 PM

Great to see Motörhead looking to most likely go top 30 despite minor streams

Posted by: Joe. Jan 6 2016, 03:31 PM

It does have a slim chance, there isn't THAT much in it between them and James Bay, and they sold more yesterday.

Posted by: Davidson Jan 6 2016, 03:31 PM

Thank you.

#30 is good. With it at #28 on streaming and #13 on sales, I'm thinking it is likely to chart in the top 25 this week, which I would be thrilled with.

Posted by: Serg Mix Jan 6 2016, 03:34 PM

They are gonna miss it by 6 sales again

Posted by: Joe. Jan 6 2016, 03:34 PM

I'm hoping Radio 1 keep it for one more week so we can see it go top 20, but it's unlikely.

Posted by: Camilla Melissa Jan 6 2016, 03:41 PM

Thanks joe

Posted by: Defaze Jan 6 2016, 03:46 PM

I'm assuming LMLY is #20/21?

Posted by: Joe. Jan 6 2016, 03:47 PM

it's 20. Looks like it'll be 23/24 on Friday.

Posted by: Defaze Jan 6 2016, 03:58 PM

Big drop coming its way on Friday then, but I guess it was being propped by the gift-card effect last week.

Posted by: zeus555 Jan 6 2016, 04:13 PM

If Justin Bieber has the entire Top 3 Singles on Friday, it will be the 1st time ever that any Act has managed that.

It has also never been managed, by any Act, in the UK Album Charts.....

Posted by: mr_pmt Jan 6 2016, 04:20 PM

Any chance for 99 Souls to enter the top 10? (assuming no)

Posted by: Joe. Jan 6 2016, 04:27 PM

It's looking very likely that 99 Souls will be top 10 by Friday.

Posted by: Rachel Spadzten Jan 6 2016, 04:41 PM

That will probably never happen imo (unless you're Sam Smith or Ed Sheeran )

Anyone have xamples of where this has happened for a top 2, and if a lot of times, the most recent?

99 Souls and Snakehips rightfully succeeding

Posted by: mdh Jan 6 2016, 04:45 PM

not sure what the songs in question are (cba to look lol) but the reason songs are climbing is because the lack of a Gift Card effect which was present last week w/ it being new year, meaning newer songs will rise instead of the older songs that people buy with Gift Cards.

Posted by: Yorkie3 Jan 6 2016, 05:43 PM

If Justin Bieber didn't exist, Hello would be about to get its 9th week at #1, a run broken only by Sigala and the NHS choir. Not that that means very much when sales will be so low this week, but it's still impressive!

I'd really like these Bieber tracks to go away though, at least from the top 10, the end of the chart show isn't even interesting any more, regardless of what I think of the songs...

Posted by: SKOB Jan 6 2016, 05:53 PM

But there are people who will never be tired of Sorry and Love Yourself

Posted by: mr_pmt Jan 6 2016, 05:59 PM

I'm really willing him to get the entire top 3 this week just for statistic purposes, but he can go away after that as far as I'm concerned.

Posted by: Ethan Jan 6 2016, 06:46 PM

excellent news~

Posted by: Hadji Jan 6 2016, 07:14 PM

I'm surprised "Lean On" is on course to re-enter the top 40 and "Stay" isn't on course to enter, despite "Stay" being ahead on both iTunes and Spotify

Posted by: torresgirl Jan 6 2016, 07:34 PM

Hi is Ben Haenow's album anywhere near the Top 40 please?

Posted by: burbe Jan 6 2016, 07:34 PM

I'm happy for him to get the top 3 if it means What Do You Mean can go away after week.

Posted by: Beth Green Jan 6 2016, 08:00 PM

i hope mendes kicks bieber's behind and take a spot in top 3...

Posted by: JosephMendes Jan 6 2016, 08:06 PM

I think we get the gist that you hate Justin by now

Posted by: joes18 Jan 6 2016, 10:02 PM

do you know how close little mix are to top 5?

Posted by: sammy01 Jan 7 2016, 02:44 AM

Is secret love song top 100?

Posted by: BillyH Jan 7 2016, 03:31 AM

Grace doing absolutely astonishing for a song released over half a year earlier in Australia and a surprise hit over here - deserves to be praised as much as Adele and Bieber's success.

A run of 44-5-5-4-6-5 on the main chart, but its Sales run is even better - 18-4-3-3-3-4!

Posted by: Jason Jan 7 2016, 09:40 AM

Does anyone know Craig David's yesterday position?

Posted by: Joe. Jan 7 2016, 09:41 AM

He was 44, so top 40 on Friday is as good as confirmed, I'd say.

Posted by: Jason Jan 7 2016, 09:44 AM

Thanks Joe. I'm happy for him.

Posted by: JimmyT Jan 7 2016, 10:21 AM

How is Ellie Goulding Army doing? ta

Posted by: Joe. Jan 7 2016, 10:22 AM

#81

Posted by: rundmck Jan 7 2016, 11:54 AM

So Adele is currently tied with Madonna, with 30 weeks spent at #1 in the UK album charts.
If Adele stays at #1 this week, she will hold the record for the most weeks at #1 by a female artist.

Posted by: 🌚🌚🌚 Jan 7 2016, 01:49 PM

bieber!

Posted by: BellyClarkson Jan 7 2016, 02:59 PM

I like Bieber, but I don't like how streaming has SUCH value in the chart, how a track can jump 10+ poisitions from it, or fall massively. (It's really going to affect Taylor Swift's singles in the future, she could sell a #1 single, but it'd probably just break the official top 10, people are likely to cry flop who don't understand the chart. Or Imagine if her single was just a good 'top 5' sales hit, It'd likely to chart at like #25)

So I'm hoping Shawn Mendes actually manages to scrape into 3, because I don't believe him having this #1,#2,#3 record is deserved, when so many in the past would have likely to have broken the same record had streaming been available and had such an impact then. Although it's going to be close, Adele may even fall out of the top 5, with Grace overtaking? Hello is falling fast on itunes, it's an exciting week for the chart.

#1 - Justin Bieber - Love Yourself
#2 - Justin Bieber - Sorry
#3 - Shawn Mendes/Justin Bieber
#4 - Shawn Mendes/Justin Bieber
#5 Grace/Adele

I'm going to predict Shawn will get the #3, and Grace will get the #5, pushing Adele out of the top 5. But who knows!
Also will be good to see if Little Mix are able to chart with the surge of sales

Posted by: mowino Jan 7 2016, 03:01 PM

Sorry has only left the T2 once (X-mas week)

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ Jan 7 2016, 03:17 PM

Little Mix won't be top 40 until next week. They'll be about #55 max this week.

Bieber's campaign is quite odd coz everyone seems to be talking about (and loving) 'Sorry'. But 'Love Yourself' is the one that's doing bigger things!

Posted by: Doctor Blind Jan 7 2016, 03:31 PM

He definitely won't be #3, he may get to #4 but I'd predict #5 behind Adele.

Posted by: slowdown73 Jan 7 2016, 04:07 PM

I can't stand Bieber and don't get his current popularity and domination of the charts at all. There is far better music around than his tripe.

Posted by: mowino Jan 7 2016, 05:40 PM

Loads of good news in the chart this week then Justin locking out the top 3, Shawn potentially coming for #4 (#5 at least), 99 Souls going top 10, Years & Years going top 20 and Major Lazer coming for a top 25 play

Posted by: mr_pmt Jan 7 2016, 07:23 PM

How can it be so certain if there's only 1k gap between #3 and #4 at this point?

99 Souls being top 10 pleases me. Please hold on!

Posted by: Joe. Jan 7 2016, 07:30 PM

There's no way it won't be top 10 now. There are no songs behind it outselling it and it sold more than Coldplay at #9 yesterday.


Little Mix is are at #68 with Secret Love Song, by the way

Posted by: sammy01 Jan 7 2016, 07:35 PM

Imagine if Adele had put her album up for streaming the week of its release, surely she would have had the top 5 in singles sewn up that week.

Posted by: JosephMendes Jan 7 2016, 07:37 PM

If everything sold the same tomorrow (not likely but it's good for an estimate) we'd be looking at:

1-3. Justin
4. Shawn (~500 above Adele, and he's ahead on streaming now so will push him ahead again slightly)
10. 99 Souls
17. Years & Years
22. Major Lazer
27. Snakehips
29. David Guetta
37. Craig David

Posted by: Doctor Blind Jan 7 2016, 07:38 PM

Because streaming data is missing, which Justin Bieber is ahead on.

Posted by: Mack Jan 7 2016, 07:39 PM

Hopefully Craig David can finally break the Top40 tomorrow giving how he's done on iTunes at the moment.

Posted by: gavindeejay Jan 7 2016, 07:41 PM

Good to see Motorhead should go op 20 at least tomorrow!

Posted by: mr_pmt Jan 7 2016, 07:42 PM

Years & Years looking at top 20 then!

The song has grown on me slightly in recent times.

Posted by: Bjork Jan 7 2016, 08:02 PM

oh Craig David in!!!!!!

Posted by: Rafael x Jan 7 2016, 08:21 PM

What about History and Made In The A.M? Both at #7? (any info on sales, tho?)

Posted by: Hadji Jan 7 2016, 08:25 PM

Was expecting "Lean On" to fall seeing as it's falling on iTunes and Spotify. Hopefully Craig David will overtake them tomorrow. Really want X Ambassadors to smash the top 40

Posted by: Jonjo Jan 7 2016, 08:29 PM

Hmm... I wonder if Elvis could overtake Adele next week?

[/whydon'ttheUKloveAdele]

Posted by: mdh Jan 7 2016, 08:35 PM

Because 25 has flopped hasn't it

Posted by: gooddelta Jan 7 2016, 08:40 PM

Will be the lowest selling #3 in some time, surely?

I wonder if 99 Souls will peak at #10 too, much like The Ladyboy Is Mine by Stuntmasterz in 2001 *.*

Posted by: timjimlee Jan 7 2016, 08:45 PM

David Bowie for number 1 though

Posted by: Rob S~ Jan 7 2016, 08:48 PM

any idea where Elle King and X Ambassadors are just out of interest?

Posted by: Joe. Jan 7 2016, 08:49 PM

86 and 62

Posted by: UltraChristmas Jan 7 2016, 08:51 PM

Are One Call Away or Touch top 100?

Posted by: Joe. Jan 7 2016, 08:52 PM

85 and 69

Posted by: JosephMendes Jan 7 2016, 08:53 PM

Both still #7, yes!

Posted by: smidsy101 Jan 7 2016, 09:00 PM

Yet another request post (sorry guys )

Is Birdy still in the top 75, and have Foxes or Jason Derulo managed to enter the top 100?

Posted by: torresgirl Jan 7 2016, 09:02 PM

Is there any chance of Ben Haenow making the Top 40 albums this week pls guys?

Posted by: Rafael x Jan 7 2016, 09:08 PM

History is doing an amazing job, also helping the album.

Posted by: ___∆___ Jan 7 2016, 09:36 PM

I'm not surprised at the drop for Adele - She sold a mind blowing amount in such a short amount of time that a deep decline was always going to happen especially as there is nothing to motivate new buyers (No promo, New single etc,) - I'm guessing her next promo slot will be The Brits - Disappointing she has done hardly anything for it in the UK.

Posted by: JosephMendes Jan 7 2016, 09:40 PM

Let's face it, it's not like Adele really *needs* to promote She's had a BBC special dedicated to her and an X Factor final performance, that's pretty amazing promo anyway, plus the BRITs.

Birdy #72, and no to either of them!


Pretty much no chance, he's #47.

Posted by: Stp15 Jan 7 2016, 09:46 PM

It's weird,that Birdy is doing so bad.She was number 66 in the first mids and the song has been top 30 in the most of the time+top 20 on Apple Music

Posted by: JosephMendes Jan 7 2016, 09:48 PM

Apple Music doesn't count for much, it's Spotify that matters and she's not top 200 there! The fact she's even coming for a sales top 40 with an OA/OS release is quite impressive really, she's not that big a name I wouldn't say.

Posted by: torresgirl Jan 7 2016, 09:51 PM

OK thanks Joseph, On a positive note up one place from Monday lol

Posted by: Doctor Blind Jan 7 2016, 09:58 PM

Not that anyone cares anymore but Louisa Johnson in her 4th week is down to #123. Even Sam Bailey managed to hang on to a Top 40 place (#23) in her 4th week.

TOTAL sales so far: 88,038 including 486 yesterday. Almost 1K in CD sold this week though so unbelievably going to be the physical chart #1 for a 4th week!

Posted by: mr_pmt Jan 7 2016, 10:00 PM

I think it's fair to say she would be absolutely nothing without advertising commercials promoting her songs (as I believe her two previous had been noticed because of them, and now they've tried to get exposure for this new one in the same way).

Posted by: mdh Jan 7 2016, 10:44 PM

Just shows how pointless physicals are in terms of affecting the chart and how little impact they make on positions

Posted by: tomwright123 Jan 7 2016, 10:44 PM

Do we have any sales data for the difference between James Bay and Little Mix on the album chart? Thanks

Posted by: Joe. Jan 7 2016, 10:46 PM

I think they'll just miss the top 5 again unfortunately.

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 7 2016, 10:58 PM

Total sales for the week will be posted tomorrow, they are guaranteed to be in the sales reports. Its only a day to wait practically.

Posted by: sammy01 Jan 7 2016, 11:27 PM

She has probably only sold 1k cds as I imagine it is being flogged off for barely anything now.

Posted by: ___∆___ Jan 7 2016, 11:32 PM

I thought Apple Music accounted for more of the market too - Seems with dying downloads Apple need to up their game on streaming?

Disappointed that Birdy has dropped - Hope this can become a steady climber over the coming weeks.

Posted by: Karma Jan 8 2016, 07:53 AM

Wowwww.
