American singer song-writer 34 year-old Rachel Platten is looking set for a #1 with her debut track 'Fight Song' (which will become the 1300th #1) unless Jess Glynne can hold off the competition to sustain a second week at #1 or will Charlie Puth feat. Meghan Trainor re-claim the #1 position. Other new single releases come from Felix Jaehn collaborating with Jasmine Thompson on the old Rufus & Chaka Khan hit 'Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better)', Ella Eyre with her brand new release 'Good Times' and Madcon collaborating with Ray Dalton on 'Don't Worry'.

The #1 album looks set to change again as Jess Glynne releases her long awaited debut studio album 'I Cry When I Laugh' featuring all her hit singles and collaborations with Clean Bandit and Route 94, her closest challenger will probably come from Bon Jovi with their new studio album 'Burning Bridges'. Other new album releases this week come from Rend Collective 'As Family We Go', Disturbed 'Immortalized', Natalie Imbruglia 'Male', The Fratellis 'Eyes Wide, Tongue Tied', Bars & Melody '143', and The Bohicas 'The Making Of' all vying for a top 40 entry in this weeks' album chart.

one of the most unpredictable #1 battles for some time ~ rachel patten's lead on iTunes is small enough to open the door to the more heavily streamed hits just behind her with charlie puth and jess glynne virtually neck and neck ~ or with his pre-order a permanent fixture in the top150 over the last 3/4 months could felix jaehn pull a david zowie?

Posted by: Doctor Blind 23rd August 2015, 02:35 PM

Sales in the singles chart are going to be low (#1 probably only around 40-45K) so streaming will heavily weight in the chart this week. I predict a narrow victory for Glynne.. but it could just as easily go to Calvin or Charlie Puth!

Posted by: Danvicii 23rd August 2015, 03:48 PM

Her Majesty Jess Glynne to get her 6th #1 this week please *.*

Would've liked a Felix Jaehn #1 this week but as that's not gonna happen g'won Rachel Platten!

Posted by: Robbie 23rd August 2015, 03:48 PM

Out of interest, since the chart sales week switched to a Friday to Thursday has anyone ever had sight of a weekend compiled midweek chart? I quite like the first midweek chart being on a Monday but the OCC did indicate that there would be at least one midweek chart compiled and published prior to a Monday. I was wondering if anyone who has access to the midweek charts has ever seen one of these weekend midweeks?

Posted by: gooddelta 23rd August 2015, 03:50 PM

Mint Royale must have done as they were tweeting yesterday about Jojo's Tringle being in the 50s section and Rita Ora rebounding back into the chart.

Posted by: SevenSees 23rd August 2015, 04:04 PM

Singles chart will be interesting. Rachel would seem like the favourite, her lead on itunes isn't exactly huge but if her streaming picks up well enough I think she can get it

Jess Glynne for around 60k in the albums? Maybe similar sales to Years & Years but a bit higher

Posted by: Doctor Blind 23rd August 2015, 04:08 PM

No, but there are definitely ones produced on Saturday and Sunday as “She’s Kinda Hot” was mentioned by Alan Jones as being #1 then #2 on these charts, before eventually publicly announced as the #6 on Monday's fully published midweek.

Posted by: Mart!n 23rd August 2015, 04:14 PM

I'll quite like having chart info on a Thursday when we do get it, as the new chart unfolds next day with hardly any changes, prior to this we had to wait 2 days (weekend) before the chart reveal and throw the odd new track in the lower region of the top 40, now we don't get that. I'm beginning to like the new chart change to be honest, the only drawback is just remembering compiling the new thread topics for the new chart week.

Posted by: girl_from_oz 23rd August 2015, 05:30 PM

Anyone think Jess Glynne will do a Sam Smith/Ed Sheeran and hang around the album top 10 for over a year

Posted by: liamk97 23rd August 2015, 05:32 PM

Nah, I can see it doing a Years & Years.

Posted by: SevenSees 23rd August 2015, 05:43 PM

Hard to say, I'm sure the likely release of her Emeli collab + its likely XF performance will do wonders for her album but I can't really tell beyond that

Posted by: Joe. 23rd August 2015, 05:54 PM

I didn't personally expect Jess to have huge numbers for her album until everyone else said it. I thought she'd be around the 35 - 45k areas.

Posted by: *Ben* 23rd August 2015, 06:00 PM

I would say also around 40k.

Posted by: ___∆___ 24th August 2015, 01:30 AM

Will be interesting to see where Bars & Melody end up in the albums - They have 19 album signings between Friday and Thursday so capturing the whole sales week plus 2 x CDs, Tape, £5 SMS download & Vinyl plus bundles with concert tickets and a special edition fan album that includes the names of fans that pre-ordered.

Can see it having a 4-77 chart run

Posted by: pippa 24th August 2015, 09:03 AM

Ideally Bon Jovi, Natalie Imbruglia and Rob Thomas can do well in the album chart, it is less likely too happen for Rob Thomas i would predict. Bon Jovi have missed out on a few number 1's with their last releases simply by releasing at the wrong time, i.e last week they would have easily got to number 1 but Jess Glynne is the obvious number 1 this week. With Bars and Melody carrying out so many signings this week they could steal the number 2 and absolutely drop like a very big rock next week.

Posted by: Mango 24th August 2015, 10:25 AM

Tape? As in cassette? Seriously?

Posted by: Juranamo 24th August 2015, 10:32 AM

Yeah, they're wheeling out all the gimmicks...

http://barsandmelody.tmstor.es/index.php?page=products&section=143, so that's SIX physical formats. Is that even allowed?

Posted by: slowdown73 24th August 2015, 10:42 AM

Jess will be no1 in the albums - probably about 50-60k sales. Singles, lookslike either marvin gaye or fight song but don't really like either.

Posted by: Stuart25 24th August 2015, 10:49 AM

Will Bars & Melody fans even know what vinyl is? They'll probably think they're getting Bars & Melody personalised flooring

Posted by: sajjadali 24th August 2015, 11:13 AM

Are Bars And Melody at No.4...if so WOW

Posted by: Kieran. 24th August 2015, 12:53 PM

I'm hoping for a Jess double

Posted by: Josh. 24th August 2015, 01:05 PM

Some if this stuff is quite cool tbh, I would totally by a USB shaped like Beyoncé with her album on it in a heartbeat!

Posted by: Mullo 24th August 2015, 01:25 PM

I wonder will Natalie Imbruglia chart??

Posted by: Joe. 24th August 2015, 01:27 PM

Agree with this. I have no interest in Bars and Moody or whatever they're called, but the USB and cassette look cool. I'd totally buy a cassette off some of my favourite albums.

Posted by: Zárate 24th August 2015, 01:32 PM

I don't see much more than 30k for Jesse?

Posted by: Robot 24th August 2015, 01:32 PM

I'm the complete opposite, I really don't like that we get one on Thursday as it totally takes away any of the unpredictability of any close chart battles for me. If we'd had a few days with no information last week, I think we'd have been less certain of a Jess #1 but as it was, we already knew.

Depending of course on any missing data, that feels like a good lead for Rachel right now, I imagine her streaming will increase more over the week also.

Posted by: Juranamo 24th August 2015, 04:52 PM

Ella Eyre. Shame my favourite single so far is looking to perform the worst (out of the ones that have receive significant promo)

Posted by: Mart!n 24th August 2015, 04:57 PM

Looking at the singles chart update, I do have a feeling some data is missing, you notice it more towards the lower end of the top 40.

Posted by: 'SPADZ' tho :/ 24th August 2015, 05:07 PM

Yay Rachel Platten and her easy fight to #1

Would love for Ain't Nobody to get to #2 but I don't think it will. Does anyone have sales difference between #2 and #3?

Posted by: JosephStyles 24th August 2015, 05:08 PM

No sales info yet!

Posted by: Danvicii 24th August 2015, 05:12 PM

slay em Rachel and Jess in the albums *.*

lmao at Ella Eyre's floppagé, the song is a much weaker 'Together' so I am not at all surprised that it could miss the top 40.

Posted by: JosephStyles 24th August 2015, 05:13 PM

I can't see Good Times missing the top 40 at all, I mean Maroon 5 managed to hold up and they didn't get as high as Ella has on iTunes so far. The weekend streaming effect has been and gone so Ella won't lose out because of that either.

Posted by: Hassaan 24th August 2015, 05:24 PM

Given their fan base would be restricted to under 16s (at best), I think Bars and Melody are doing pretty well. But, that is an interesting choice of formats to release an album onto - I suppose if it introduces more people to the record formats of old it's probably a good thing but I don't see why though, maybe their management are hoping that some of the 85 million+ who've seen their Britain's Got Talent audition will make the effort to buy the album.

Jess Glynne could do well with her album, although her single dropped more than I thought.

Posted by: Mart!n 24th August 2015, 05:29 PM

Some sales from MW added to the update.

Posted by: Juranamo 24th August 2015, 05:47 PM

Jess Glynne's sales are much higher than I thought they'd be at this stage!

Posted by: gooddelta 24th August 2015, 06:00 PM

Yes Jess! Brilliant sales and wow at Cilla's increase at this stage too already outsold last week!

Really hoping Rachel Platten can stay there and keep the Meghan Trainor mess from climbing back to the top, praying for this girl to release something vaguely bearable sometime soon.

Posted by: Ne Plus Ultra 24th August 2015, 06:03 PM

This is shocking since you like almost everything pop.

Posted by: Ethan 24th August 2015, 06:28 PM

fantastic start for queen jess :cheeseblock: ~ 37.7k would've been a decent tally for the entire week

*sigh* @ rachel patten limping her way to the top, it just has the air of '#1 by default' as the biggest single of the moment, SIGALA, is being unduly held back~

top 5 is a tremendous result for 'ain't nobody' considering the random r1 snubbing ~ poor ella eyre with digital sales so low, 'good times' was always going to be hammered by streaming~

Posted by: gooddelta 24th August 2015, 06:32 PM

Quite! I can see her potential but the doo wop sound does nothing for me.

Posted by: JosephStyles 24th August 2015, 06:51 PM

I must say, I disagree with this! Fight Song has been massive worldwide so it was obvious that it would follow suit in the UK. Its #1 status probably wouldn't have happened if it were OA/OS but there's nothing to suggest that Sigala's song is the most popular right now, however obvious a #1 it looks.

Posted by: 'SPADZ' tho :/ 24th August 2015, 06:58 PM

I don't know who else thinks this but I reckon Fight Song sounds a bit like Love Me Like You Do so it's not too surprising to see it go to #1.

Posted by: Rob S~ 24th August 2015, 07:14 PM

Would the John Legend duet win you over or not... that's not doo-wop or cheesy just a solid ballad!

Posted by: SKOB 24th August 2015, 07:16 PM

FS would be selling even better if everybody didn't own it already. It's been hit EVERYWHERE for months.

Posted by: gooddelta 24th August 2015, 07:16 PM

I've only heard it once in passing so too early to say!

Posted by: Hassaan 24th August 2015, 07:54 PM

Indeed - 37.7k is notably high after just two days. Could it break 100k?

I don't know what the largest weekly sale for an album is this year but it could end up as one of the highest. Bars and Melody haven't done too badly either - they've sold double what Andrea Faustini sold in the first week but they probably have had more promotion.

Posted by: Joe. 24th August 2015, 07:57 PM

3 days. And lots will be pre-orders. She's looking at around 56k.

btw I think she will nowhere near 100k, rather around 60k which is still better than I thought.

Great sales for Jess! Hopefully 55-60k by the end of the week. Shouldn't have much trouble going platinum I don't think.

Posted by: Ryan. 24th August 2015, 08:14 PM

I'm shocked at Jess' sales, I thought she'd manage around 30k at best! So to be looking at comfortably over 50k is fantastic for her.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 24th August 2015, 08:36 PM

Jess Glynne has already outsold Cheryl's first week for her last album in 3 days... without the need to get married or perform on the X-Factor.

SLEIGH.

Posted by: JosephStyles 24th August 2015, 08:40 PM

Come back when it outsells 3 Words' first week in the same amount of time.

Posted by: Ethan 24th August 2015, 09:18 PM

'fight song' is only on course to do, at best, a highly lackluster 50k this week, which shows the demand wasn't quite as massive here and only finds itself at the top due to a lack of competition... the fact that Sigala's pre-order has been a permanent fixture in the top100 for several weeks now suggests that it would've been #1, by a considerable margin, had it been brought forwards~

Posted by: OutstandingMixer 24th August 2015, 09:30 PM

Even if there was a slight 'tongue in cheek' with this post, it's pretty stupid to compare an artist on their first album with another on their fourth album. Let's see what type of numbers Jess is selling 5 years time shall we.

Posted by: Kieran. 24th August 2015, 09:31 PM

60k on lock for Queen Glynne *.*. I think the album will be the constant seller and will be a must buy during the holiday season. So proud of her.

Posted by: Jason 24th August 2015, 09:44 PM

So disappointed to see Rachel at number 1 with a big gap.

Posted by: 'SPADZ' tho :/ 24th August 2015, 09:55 PM

Yeah every time a song by her becomes a massive hit I think it's going to be the last one but I get proved wrong each time

PS love your sig

Posted by: 『bré』 24th August 2015, 10:19 PM

On the contrary, as her full title is Dame Jessica Hannah Glynne, Queen of Music, Saviour of British Music, Cheryl Wev Snatch Extraordinaire it is only right to compare her world-shattering smash to Cheryl's floppiness.

I'm joking, don't shoot me

I'm so old I actually could buy cassettes of most of my favourite albums.

Posted by: Noahspike 24th August 2015, 11:56 PM

Echoing the surprise at Jess' album sales and I kind of agree with the above. It's always seemed to me that she's been fortunate to an extent in being involved with songs that have become hits based almost entirely on their own merits, rather than people also buying into her as an artist. Like, I've had the feeling that if she were to release an ill-advised single, it'd flop disastrously. Even after the 18 months or so that she's been consistently successful, I haven't seen much to say she's been gaining a big profile or solid fanbase (other than racking up hits to her name obviously), so the fact that so many people are investing in her album is really impressive.

Posted by: ___∆___ 25th August 2015, 01:34 AM

Good start for Bars & Melody - The 6 physical format/19 date HMV tour is doing wonders for them considering the last 2 singles missed the Top 50 - The chart run will be horrific though! And at Cilla already outselling her total for last week - can see this becoming a solid seller.

Posted by: SLlewellyn 25th August 2015, 07:08 AM

Echoing the surprise at Jess Glynne's album sales, but as someone did say the deluxe edition is pretty much a greatest hits (four solo singles and four #1 collaborations) - I'd say it's a good bargain!

Posted by: steve201 25th August 2015, 11:34 AM

I agree but that shows she's not getting default no1s which a lot of artists with big fanbases normally get.

Posted by: pippa 25th August 2015, 11:52 AM

Cilla Black has sold more at this early stage of the week than she did for the week combined last week.

Posted by: Mack 25th August 2015, 02:53 PM

Much rather have 'Fight Song' at #1 than that 'Marvin Gaye'.

Rachel Platten on top of Charlie Puth there.

Although I don't think Floyd Mayweather and Joe Calzaghe would want to fight to this song.

Posted by: mr_pmt 25th August 2015, 03:27 PM

But that isn't the point of the song.

Posted by: T Boy 25th August 2015, 03:53 PM

I'm finding it incredibly difficult to find Jess' album. Both supermarkets by me were out of stock and Amazon have sold out of the deluxe version. I'm going to try at HMV tomorrow but if not I'll have to finally step into 2010 and download the album :S

Posted by: Mack 25th August 2015, 09:06 PM

I'm perfectly aware of that, mr_pmt. I was just expressing that those two boxers wouldn't want to fight to that song.

Although away from that. I'm pleased she's getting the success she is with this following '1000 Ships' which could have been successful.

I realise its based on experiences that she has had.

Posted by: 'SPADZ' tho :/ 25th August 2015, 09:08 PM

Oh haha I did not know they were boxers!

Posted by: slowdown73 25th August 2015, 10:07 PM

Fight song isn't a great song at all. Very surprised it's reached number one. Her voice is quite weak. I'd rather see Jess Glynne there or Calvin Harris.

Posted by: ___∆___ 26th August 2015, 02:18 AM

Just realised Hometown are not in the Top 100! Thought it would do really well here - Radio friendly track and reached #1 in Ireland - They also have a HMV signing tour.

Edit - Just realised the download is only available this week, CD & HMV tour is next week but it's not looking good if they can't scrape Top 100!

Posted by: Josh. 26th August 2015, 05:34 PM

Aw, was hoping Jess would make it two weeks because it's just so joyous whereas Fight Song for me is more irritating than empowering. Far from the worsr #1 of the year anyway though. And at least Jess Glynne's album will be #1 with excellent sales even if there isn't a song on it as good as any of her singles so far.

Posted by: slowdown73 26th August 2015, 05:39 PM

At least fight song hasn't sold much and her residency at no1 should be short lived. Jess should sell 60k of her album which is impressive in today's market.

Good to see Jess back up to #2 on the singles chart! Looks like Rachel has #1 in the bag now though. I'm not crazy for 'Fight Song' but it's still one of the better #1s of the year. For now anyway. I'll probably have got bored of it within a couple of months.

'I Cry When I Laugh' nearly at 50k already as well, looks on course to beat the opening sales of 'Communion'. Yay.

Now we have further info... Joseph is on the case, when he gets a minute or 2.

Posted by: JosephStyles 26th August 2015, 06:22 PM

Remaining top 5 sales added!

Posted by: Mart!n 26th August 2015, 06:26 PM

Nos 2 to 5, could go any way in the singles chart, once all the missing data is added.

I think Jess Glynne's album is just going to fall short of 60k.

Great sales for Jess, 55-60k by Friday then! Shame she doesn't look like she'll do the double. Rachel has ~8k lead (although more likely ~7k once missing streaming is taken into account) on Jess and I can't see her overcoming that in just 2 days.

Really hope Selena can climb into the top 20 come Friday! #14 on iTunes and up to #29 on Spotify should get her there I think.

Posted by: JosephStyles 26th August 2015, 06:37 PM

Rachel's lead has remained the same from the other day although Jess outsold her yesterday (only by 500 copies). Rachel will quite comfortably keep #1.

Looks like Rachel Platten has got that 1300th #1 landmark, shame it couldn't happen to a better track though.

?
Is the video blocked in your country?

Posted by: Danvicii 26th August 2015, 08:41 PM

Rachel Platten may be the "official" 1300th #1 but the song is not the 1300th to go to #1 ~

It was originally scheduled to be released this Friday but was brought forward and released back in mid-July

Interesting to see fellow Northern Ireland-ites Rend Collective likely to get a top 20 album on Friday. Can't say they're necessarily my cup of tea, but nice to see another bunch of local guys/girls doing well. When was the last time that a Christian/spiritual act made the top 20 albums? I know a few have pierced the top 40 in recent years, but I can't think of any that made the top 20.

Posted by: Mart!n 26th August 2015, 09:28 PM

I think Delirious? has had a top 5/10 album in the past, its the only act I can think off from the top of my head.

Posted by: steve201 26th August 2015, 09:33 PM

Do all the missing sales get added before Friday?

Posted by: Brett-Butler 26th August 2015, 09:42 PM

They had a top 20 album in 1997 and two further albums that made the top 75. So unless there's been another one in the interim, this would be the first Christian album to make the UK Top 20 albums in 18 years.

Posted by: JosephStyles 26th August 2015, 09:44 PM

It's not 100% clear most of the time but I'd say so. Streaming tends to be a day behind and I know Apple Music have failed to report Thursday sales before the chart cut-off point before but I'm not sure if that's the case now or not.

Posted by: Jonjo 26th August 2015, 09:46 PM

What a great song to be hitting a landmark! *.*

Posted by: GTH 26th August 2015, 10:47 PM

I am surprised by Cilla's album sales. Should be over 20k at the end of the chart week! I guess the news it got to number one last week and more shops would be stocking it now has helped it loads.

BTW, that picture of yours looks like Beth Broderick.

I am left disappointed with Natalie Imbruglia's placing. It is a likely outcome it will the top 20

Posted by: gooddelta 27th August 2015, 10:33 AM

It is indeed her!

Posted by: liamk97 27th August 2015, 11:30 AM

Capital advertised Jess Glynne's album three times in one ad break last night, with 'Fight Song' advertised too.

Posted by: Regina 27th August 2015, 11:43 AM

I wasn't even expecting top 40, let's be realistic, she was never going to do well with it.

Posted by: JosephStyles 27th August 2015, 11:59 AM

Natalie is doing rather well I think! It was never gonna be a massive seller but let's not forget, her last album didn't even get a proper UK release.

Posted by: T Boy 27th August 2015, 12:31 PM

I'm sorry, but who is she? #ablisateas
