Sunday Chart Predictions
Predicting the 25/01 to 31/01 chart



Mark to go downtown and minesweep FOB's #1?
Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars are heading for a 6th non-consecutive week at #1 this week - a feat last achieved by Rihanna's 'We Found Love' in late 2011. Meghan Trainor may not be too far behind though as 'Lips Are Movin'', her follow-up to 'All About That Bass', is released this week and seems to have at least #2 on lock. Elsewhere in the chart, Avicii's 'The Nights' and Sia's 'Elastic Heart' may climb into the Top 10.

In complete contrast to the year so far, this week's album chart is looking to be mixed up with the release of several new albums. Fighting for the top spot will be Mark Ronson's Uptown Special and Fall Out Boy's American Beauty/American Psycho. Neither have reached #1 with an album before but both are no stranger to the #2 spot - Mark is perhaps more deserving of #1 to avoid a hat-trick of #2s. Other new entries to the Top 10 may be Enter Shikari's The Mindsweep, Belle & Sebastian's Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance and The Waterboys' Modern Blues, whilst, further down the chart, Above & Beyond, The Decemberists, Marilyn Manson and Funeral for a Friend should enter.

Enter Shikari for top 10 hopefully Fall Out Boy should get the #2 spot (assuming they stay ahead of the usual George/Ed/Sam trio)

Posted by: ¡bré! Jan 20 2015, 12:06 AM

I doubt Sam/George/Ed will pass 20k this week so Mark and Fall Out Boy will easily be the top 2 I think. I wouldn't be surprised if Fall Out Boy beat the sales of their last album despite the singles not doing as well, the instant grats seem to have done well at building up the hype with the album being top 50 on iTunes on pre-orders for the last two weeks (even going top 10 for a couple of days). Enter Shikari may have to settle for #6 but I don't think they'll be any lower than that.

Posted by: pippa Jan 20 2015, 12:00 PM

If Mark Ronson can manage yet another week of 100,000 this week or 101,000 he will become a million seller this week.

Posted by: MrIndependent Jan 20 2015, 12:26 PM

I think Ed, George and Sam will all sell more than 20,000. Their Friday and Saturday sales last week were considerably higher than expected and I think that was due to the BRITs nominations being announced; the hype will continue to push sales this week. Fall Out Boy should still manage #2 but Mark Ronson will comfortably have the #1. Enter Shikari will be low top ten.

The singles chart is less interesting. I'd imagine Uptown Funk should have no problem selling another 100,000+.

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 20 2015, 12:34 PM

I think the top 3 albums will be all new, with Enter Shikari at #3 to begin with, once the first update comes thru, the new albums will push Ed and George down to 4 and 5. Its so quiet on twitter I can't even find any mid info just yet. Hopefully we get something soon.

On the singles chart, its going to be so quiet with Meghan been the only new entry, bearing in mind she was #50 last week, Avicii should climb up a couple of places, I can't really see anything else apart from album tracks from Fall Out Boy and Mark Ronson charting in the singles chart.

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 20 2015, 12:51 PM

According to Mint Royale on twitter

Jessie J masterpiece 72
Fall Out Boy number 1 in albums
Mark Ronson number 2

Meghan Trainor number 2

Posted by: Hadji Jan 20 2015, 12:52 PM

Fall Out Boy need to hang onto that. We don't want Mark Ronson being #1 on both charts

Posted by: slowdown73 Jan 20 2015, 01:04 PM

And whats wrong with Mark Ronson being number number on both charts? He deserves it and its a decent song. I can't see the issue.

Posted by: SPINUMINATI ADAM Jan 20 2015, 01:06 PM

Spamming to wish The Nights another top 10 smash

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 20 2015, 01:11 PM

Same here, its not as if we get double tops every week.

Posted by: MrIndependent Jan 20 2015, 01:25 PM

There are also eight new release in the top twelve of the albums chart, and Mark Ronson 'isn't miles behind' Fall Out Boy according to Mint Royale.

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 20 2015, 01:34 PM

That's pushed a load of the old albums down, makes it more easier for me when I come to rip the info out.

Posted by: pippa Jan 20 2015, 01:49 PM

I would have anticipated that Mark Ronson would have just cruised his to the pole position in the album chart. That said, i would be slightly happier to see Fall Out Boy reach the summit. I would predict many of the early new entries will start dropping through out the week.

Posted by: Uptown Froot Jan 20 2015, 02:05 PM

Go away Fall Out Boy. Looking forward to the sales difference as I think Fall Out Boy would be slightly more frontloaded as there will be more fanbase buys.

Posted by: Soy Adrián Jan 20 2015, 02:26 PM

Woo! FOB are due a #1, strange that they haven't had one already.

Posted by: Hadji Jan 20 2015, 02:45 PM

1998, 1999, 2000 and 2014 were the last years to go without chart doubles. Let's see if 2015 can be the same. At least MR stopped Ed Sheeran from scoring a chart double last year

Posted by: ¡bré! Jan 20 2015, 02:49 PM

Mark Ronson will likely overtake Fall Out Boy by the end of the week if it is close, as there are probably going to be more casual buyers of 'Uptown Special' than 'American Beauty / American Psycho'. Both acts are long overdue a #1 album, shame they had to release on the same week really!

Posted by: ¡bré! Jan 20 2015, 03:59 PM

George Ezra down 1-6 in the albums at the moment and some way behind Ed and Sam - but he could still pull an upset again and end up overtaking them. The top 2 albums definitely look safe but Enter Shikari will likely be overtaken.

Dr. Dre's '2001' is the Google Play 99p album of the week.

Expect big changes in the singles chart for tomorrow as we're missing some streaming data today, the current update is basically just a vague guideline.

Posted by: Jonjo Jan 20 2015, 04:01 PM

Mark Ronson's sales just ain't letting up *.* Brilliant. Really want him to get as close to Cher's 100k a week record (thing? Is it a record?) as possible. I know the last couple of weeks of him being over 100k will be the inclusion of streams, but I'm still willing for him to get as close as possible without the streaming inclusions!

Posted by: Hadji Jan 20 2015, 04:04 PM

On Sunday, I hope for Avicii to climb into the top 10, Echosmith to climb into the top 20 and for Idina Menzel to fall out of the top 40. It also looks like the #2 single could pass 100,000 sales

Posted by: SPINUMINATI ADAM Jan 20 2015, 04:10 PM

8 Avicii - The Nights BLOODY HELL top 5 possibility? but brought down by streams atm

13 Blonde feat. Melissa Steel - I Loved You 16 then
18 Jeremih feat. YG - Don't Tell 'Em these two STILL climbing?
20 Echosmith - Cool Kids top 20 please!


21 Calvin Harris feat. John Newman - Blame AHHHHH TAYLOR WHERE R U?

33 Kid Ink feat. Chris Brown - Hotel * unexpected
35 Idina Menzel - Let It Go could be worse
37 Majestic and Jungle 70 - Creeping In The Dark * who is this? what genre oh never mind
38 Years & Years - Desire ^ Who is top 40? "Is it Desire?..."

Posted by: MrIndependent Jan 20 2015, 04:16 PM

Mark Ronson's album sales are also impressive considering the likelihood that they're not frontloaded.

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 20 2015, 04:18 PM

Uptown Funk should be a million seller by the end of the week (with streams added)

Top 3 Albums just what I expected to be honest.

Missing streaming data from Spotify for Sunday

Posted by: ML Hammer95 Jan 20 2015, 04:19 PM

at Creeping In The Dark and Hotel being in this update, great songs!

Posted by: Taylor Jago Jan 20 2015, 04:26 PM

Blame at #21? Am I hallucinating? Why Britain? WHY?

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 20 2015, 04:33 PM

That is George Ezra, Bre had Calvin Harris on the brain

Posted by: pippa Jan 20 2015, 04:43 PM

Like last week, the top 5 albums at the least will have respectable sales, the possibility of a general top 10 of respectable sales also looks on course. Fall Out Boy, 2,000 sales lead could be enough to remain number 1.

Posted by: ► ▲ N Jan 20 2015, 04:49 PM

yay for Mark Ronson hope he does the double too, not listened to his album yet but he's far preferable to Fall Out Boy (especially with their new songs that I've heard being awful)

BOO at Let It Go not leaving with Jameela hopefully when streaming is added it goes.

Posted by: ¡bré! Jan 20 2015, 05:39 PM

Oops. I'm turning into you

SAUSAGES

Posted by: Taylor Jago Jan 20 2015, 05:46 PM

Oh good. And by the way, where is Blame then?

Posted by: Doctor Blind Jan 20 2015, 06:37 PM

Not Top 40, however streaming is missing so no doubt it'll be back once that gets incorporated.

Posted by: London81 Jan 20 2015, 06:58 PM

I've completely missed something with this Ronson wave of hysteria. I'm guessing Meghan will be pushed further back when streaming is added. Was hoping she could push him off the top. Roll on Ellie G release week.

Posted by: SPINUMINATI ADAM Jan 20 2015, 07:41 PM

WHA????

You just can't put those three things in the same sentence.

Posted by: Hadji Jan 20 2015, 07:53 PM

Let's hope Fergie can topple MR from #1 next week

Posted by: mr_aly Jan 20 2015, 07:54 PM

Posted by: ETH▲N Jan 20 2015, 08:01 PM

Looks like another week >120k for 'Uptown Funk', surely Mark Ronson can do the double!

Hopefully Avicii will go top ten this week with 'The Nights'.

Great start for Above & Beyond!

Posted by: liamk97 Jan 20 2015, 08:01 PM

I'm sure she'll be comfortably Top 40 - all have reached the Top 10 aside from her last one which reached #21.

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 20 2015, 08:05 PM

I wish you think before you post.

Posted by: ► ▲ N Jan 20 2015, 08:07 PM

no chance. If Meghan can't then no way will Fergie considering her pre-orders and streams aren't doing as well as Meghan's were pre-release. She'll definitely go top 5 though.

Posted by: SPINUMINATI ADAM Jan 20 2015, 10:36 PM

Thanks but I was referring to how Meghan got into the top 40 and do high in the chart on streaming alone.

Posted by: London81 Jan 20 2015, 11:24 PM

Ronson is in a whole different league when it comes to streaming so it seems!

Posted by: Taylor Jago Jan 21 2015, 01:05 PM

Anxiously waiting for 3:30pm (and hoping Blame, Sing & Prayer In C will be gone from the top 40)

Posted by: SPINUMINATI ADAM Jan 21 2015, 03:14 PM

I reckon PIC has the best chance of leaving . However the remark earlier in the thread with Blame and no streaming included looks dispromising so probably will be in the top 40 and Sing, well, x is #1 forever on albums so....

Hoping streams are enough for The Nights to spend a few nights in the top 10 also COOL kids to stick around in top 20, (15?) and other tracks I've already expressed s on

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 21 2015, 04:03 PM

OCC report mentions Mark Ronson could be brought to an end this Sunday, which makes me think data is still missing from somewhere. Don't have any other chart info today apart from the Radio 1 chart update to clarify, so far.

Posted by: liamk97 Jan 21 2015, 04:06 PM

I think that's just exaggerated to get people interested. I'm sure there's no real threat against Mark/Bruno making #1 again.

Posted by: SPINUMINATI ADAM Jan 21 2015, 05:15 PM

The Nights fall one place

I'm starting to worry its deserved top 10 placement will be denied, since it streaming pulled it down last week

So unless SUDDENLY stream boost I predict it will be #7 maybe #6 on sales only, also

I predict Elastic Heart will stretch above Avicii but there is NO HOPE IN HELL of Taylor Sells overtaking it

I don't think #12-15 will overtake it either, so it looks like a #10 placement this week

I hope it can climb a bit more. If it gets on with radio play, streams etc.

Posted by: ► ▲ N Jan 21 2015, 05:45 PM

is streaming still not counted? Or is Shake It Off just selling so much to be #11 in the combined update?

Posted by: SPINUMINATI ADAM Jan 21 2015, 06:33 PM

I expect streaming is still not flowing today

Posted by: mr_aly Jan 21 2015, 06:47 PM

I'm more confident Sia can keep her top 10 place this week. Come on girl!

Posted by: Hadji Jan 21 2015, 09:59 PM

I hope so too, as she's been kicked out the top 10 on iTunes by the X Craptor winner

Posted by: Mirror Man Jan 21 2015, 11:29 PM

Anyone know where Chapter One is?

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 Jan 21 2015, 11:30 PM

#20

Posted by: Taylor Jago Jan 22 2015, 08:26 AM

Considering it was #36 on sales alone, streaming is likely pulling it down, so I'd expect Let It Go's departure. If it stays, well, at least we'll be able to hear Clara give her say on the matter.

I hope Sia hasn't lost her place in the top 10 due to the X Craptor winner

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 22 2015, 03:07 PM

There is an 8k gap between her and #10

Posted by: Hadji Jan 22 2015, 03:08 PM

I'd rather she lost her top 10 placing due to Sam Smith

Posted by: Envoirment Jan 22 2015, 03:08 PM

Is Ben #10?

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 22 2015, 03:09 PM

Mark Ronson is most likely doing around 14k to 15k per day, I probably estimate his sales at 112k to 115k for the week.

He could still do the double, his album is selling more than FOB yesterday, he could take it by Saturday night close of business.

Posted by: Hadji Jan 22 2015, 03:10 PM

Most likely after his performance at the NTA

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 22 2015, 03:12 PM

yes

Posted by: Hadji Jan 22 2015, 03:13 PM

And he's being helped by physical sales as well as streaming

Posted by: ¡bré! Jan 22 2015, 03:13 PM

Björk 5 places ahead of where her last album peaked on just one day of sales (and 100% digital) - pretty impressive even if it is a low sales environment. It was very marginally the highest selling album yesterday, a few copies ahead of Mark Ronson!

Posted by: torresgirl Jan 22 2015, 03:19 PM

Nice to see Ben back in the Top 10 again, have a feeling he might be higher tomorrow as he's #8 on ITunes and #2 on Amazon downloads today and the boost was only for a couple of hours last night and he's jumped 13-10

Posted by: ¡bré! Jan 22 2015, 03:23 PM

I think there was still data missing yesterday to be fair (Ben was probably ahead of Sia and Taylor already with all streaming data counted).

Posted by: Hadji Jan 22 2015, 03:24 PM

Sia's ahead of Ben on streams so she could get her place back in the top 10

Posted by: torresgirl Jan 22 2015, 03:56 PM

Thanks Bre, that could be a possibility.

Posted by: pippa Jan 22 2015, 04:02 PM

Impressive result for Bjork when we consider there is no phyisical version available at present.

Posted by: Markbr Jan 22 2015, 04:17 PM

Ben coming for dat platinum

Posted by: SPINUMINATI ADAM Jan 22 2015, 04:45 PM

Have I predicted the rest of the top 10 thusly:

6.
7. _____ Taylor Swift
8. Heroes
9. The Nights
10. SIN

?

And I noticed you had data about the sales gap between:

Do you kindly have sales data surrounding The Nights? That'll be swell

Posted by: Envoirment Jan 22 2015, 05:06 PM

Thanks! Glad to see Ben has secured another week in the top 10, I can't see Sia overtaking the 8k lead he has on her, especially as he recently got boosted from the NTA performance.

Posted by: Taylor Jago Jan 22 2015, 05:13 PM

Personally I'm pleased Something I Need is back in the top 10.

Posted by: MrIndependent Jan 22 2015, 05:48 PM

Bjork's album might be top ten tomorrow.

Posted by: Hadji Jan 22 2015, 05:49 PM

I expected Meghan Trainor to pass 100,000 sales by Sunday but that's impossible as she has dropped to #3 on iTunes

Posted by: SPINUMINATI ADAM Jan 22 2015, 06:04 PM

"Because you (should) know I'm all about those streams..."

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 22 2015, 06:09 PM

Did you really expect Meghan to sell that amount, other factors to consider, a/ All About The Bass is still in the top half of the chart. b/ People have not moved on from her previous hit and c/ no one cares, as it sounds like an average pop track

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 22 2015, 06:10 PM

Swap Alesso with Taylor

Avicii give or take on 15k

Posted by: fchd Jan 22 2015, 06:26 PM

"All About That Bass" available for free on Google Play today.

Posted by: SPINUMINATI ADAM Jan 22 2015, 06:41 PM

Thanks!

Do you know the sales gaps between #8 and #9 or #9 and #10 that would be ^EPIC

Posted by: Hadji Jan 22 2015, 07:42 PM

"All About That Bass" will still be in the top 40 when "Lips Are Movin" drops out. Same happened with Naughty Boy: "La La La" was still in the top 40 when "Lifted" dropped out

Posted by: Doctor Blind Jan 22 2015, 07:47 PM

The gap between 8 and 9 is very small and catchable.

The gap between 9 and 10 is Rihanna forehead sized.

I think Hozier might sneak the #2, HE is selling quite a bit more than Meghan and still has the Friday/Saturday streaming boost to come.

Posted by: London81 Jan 22 2015, 07:51 PM

I know this is off topic so I appologise but does anyone know if there's somewhere I can look at X factor singles chart runs? Thanks

Posted by: Hadji Jan 22 2015, 07:51 PM

Sia will overtake when she gets the Friday/Saturday streaming boost

Posted by: torresgirl Jan 22 2015, 08:07 PM

Ha ha I love this but I'm not sure it helps figure out the gap Catchable?

Posted by: Doctor Blind Jan 22 2015, 08:09 PM

Almost 3K, so not really.. no.

Posted by: torresgirl Jan 22 2015, 08:12 PM

OK thank you. I will examine the size of Rihanna's forehead next time as I've never noticed the size

Posted by: SPINUMINATI ADAM Jan 22 2015, 08:17 PM

thanks

So it seems Avicii will probably claim the #9 spot if streams are still poor for him he probably won't beat the #8

Just for reference:

As usual sales and other positions will be added later, as that is a separate issue with a different source, if we get any.

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 23 2015, 11:35 AM

The only track that has left the top 40 from last week is Idina Menzel, its the same 39 singles from last week plus Meghan

Posted by: vidcapper Jan 23 2015, 11:36 AM

We *so* need a lot of new releases!

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 23 2015, 11:51 AM

Not forgetting Lips Are Movin was #50 last week, the track is new to the 40. I've never seen such a drawled out chart.

Posted by: Joe. Jan 23 2015, 11:57 AM

Martin Is Beyonce still top 40 with 7/11?

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 23 2015, 12:16 PM

Its easy to work out when only Idina has fallen out #39

Posted by: pippa Jan 23 2015, 12:52 PM

Bjork now at 12,

Posted by: titty Jan 23 2015, 02:29 PM

Great to see Bjork so high - hopefully Top 10 by the end of the week.

Posted by: Hadji Jan 23 2015, 03:00 PM

Kid Ink hasn't left the top 25 on iTunes and he isn't in the top 40? WTF?!

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 23 2015, 03:03 PM

Kid Ink has been around #42 and #43 all week, it could still sneak in by Sunday.

Posted by: Hadji Jan 23 2015, 03:05 PM

I hope he can knock Ed Sheeran, Lilly Wood or Calvin Harris out by Sunday

Posted by: ¡bré! Jan 23 2015, 03:08 PM

Its position on iTunes includes pre-orders of the album so it's not actually that high on legitimate sales. It also isn't doing very well on streaming yet.

Posted by: SPINUMINATI ADAM Jan 23 2015, 04:25 PM

I was right with Shake It Off. Was it #18 I predicted? Wow if it misses the top 20 this week. IIRC it was #11 on Tuesday

Hope Avicii gets the top 10 in the bag

Posted by: Hadji Jan 23 2015, 04:43 PM

Same here. I also hope today's/tomorrow's streaming boost can push Sia back into the top 10

Posted by: Taylor Jago Jan 23 2015, 04:50 PM

Speaking of which, I'm assuming that yet again, Blame and Sing have overtaken Changing. Am I correct?

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 23 2015, 04:53 PM

No Changing is ahead of both tracks

Posted by: ► ▲ N Jan 23 2015, 05:12 PM

with Bjork climbing the chart Above & Beyond will definitely miss the top 10 then shame as it's such an amazing album but I'm surprised it's doing this well anyway, their last studio album only went to #49!

Posted by: Dobbo Jan 23 2015, 06:15 PM

Where are Promesses & All About That Bass? Cheers.

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 23 2015, 06:23 PM

Meghan #15
Tchami #16

Posted by: THEO. Jan 23 2015, 06:44 PM

I'd love for "Take Me to Church" to overtake "Lips Are Movin'" before Sunday!

Posted by: Taylor Jago Jan 23 2015, 07:54 PM

Mart!n, you've just made my day by saying that (though unfortunately, Blame and Sing could still catch up by Sunday, especially if one of them is one place behind Changing).

Posted by: mr_aly Jan 23 2015, 09:02 PM

I hope Hozier doesn't take Meghan, I really like 'Lips Are Movin' now.

I hope Sia can make the top 10 on Sunday... damn you Ben Haenow.

Posted by: Rob S Jan 23 2015, 09:02 PM

she will she's 9 on Spotify

Posted by: Taylor Jago Jan 23 2015, 09:15 PM

Heroes (We Could Be) is doing so much better than Wicked Games by Parra for Cuva! It's also beating Heroes by David Bowie. (27-26-25-24-25-25-34-39)

Posted by: SevenSeize Jan 23 2015, 09:29 PM

Not sure how those two are really that comparable Wicked Games had much less commercial appeal, and airplay, than Heroes has

Posted by: Taylor Jago Jan 23 2015, 10:37 PM

Both peaked at 6, and more importantly, both are reworkings of well-known songs (Wicked Games is a reworking of Wicked Game by Chris Isaac, and Heroes (We Could Be) is a reworking of Heroes by David Bowie)

Posted by: ► ▲ N Jan 23 2015, 10:39 PM

they're 2 completely different songs though, the only similarity is the 'we could be heroes' lyrical idea

Posted by: Mart!n Jan 23 2015, 11:04 PM

Have you even heard the track by David Bowie, it doesn't even sound nothing like it.

Posted by: The Hit Parade Jan 23 2015, 11:23 PM

I was wondering about this, because I remember laughing at the suggestion that Will.I.Am's 'Bang Bang' had anything to do with the Sonny Bono song and it turned out that they had given him a credit on it. Does anyone know officially what the position is with 'Heroes'?

Posted by: SPINUMINATI ADAM Jan 23 2015, 11:27 PM

WHOAH WHOAH WHOAH guys chill

I compare Heroes to Outside, to be fair they've had similar runs

Trying to get me to listen to Bowie's Heroes?

Well googled the lyrics anyway and all I really saw slightly similar was the "we could be Heroes, just for one day"

from Wikipedia: "The song's lyrics are partially taken from "'Heroes'" (1977) by David Bowie.[1] The lyrics of each of the stanzas differ entirely from Bowie's. "

OK, well it certainly doesn't look like it's enough to be even partially taken. If a song says "dance all night" and another one says the same words... yes?

Any other comparisons? From a quick glance of the lyrics I do not see any, oops

Posted by: Dobbo Jan 23 2015, 11:28 PM

Bowie does indeed have a credit on Alesso's track.

Posted by: ¡bré! Jan 24 2015, 12:38 AM

I would imagine that's probably to prevent a lawsuit over the singular line that's similar to the Bowie song

Posted by: vidcapper Jan 24 2015, 07:01 AM

Very surprised to see FOB still top!

Posted by: Taylor Jago Jan 24 2015, 08:38 AM

I have actually, and they don't sound similar. However, usually remixes don't sound anything like the original, but they're still reworking of the track!

Posted by: soundseekerz Jan 24 2015, 08:53 AM

If Fall Out Boy hold on to the top spot, Will Mark Ronson be the first artist to have 3 consecutive number 2 albums?

Posted by: Gezza Jan 24 2015, 09:12 AM

No. There are doubtless more but i recall that a-ha had three consecutive back in the 80's.

Posted by: torresgirl Jan 24 2015, 09:16 AM

The pain is is still there!

Posted by: ¡bré! Jan 24 2015, 05:01 PM

*quickly unlocks thread to answer question*

Bon Jovi are currently on a run of five consecutive #2 albums, would be a run of eight if 'This Left Feels Right' had peaked two places higher!

*re-locks thread*
