Looking like a fourth week for Clean Bandit, Sean Paul and Anne-Marie in the singles, as Rockabye looks set to stay at the top following Sunday night's X Factor promo. Rae Sremmurd will continue to fight for the top though, and expect a load of The Weeknd's tracks to impact in the singles chart this week now his album has been released. New entries might come from Charli XCX featuring Lil Yachty with After the Afterparty, Robin Schulz & David Guetta featuring Cheat Codes with Shed a Light, Calum Scott with Rhythm Inside and Rag'n'Bone Man with Human among others - time will tell as always!
The album chart looks to be an open race this week, with Little Mix and Michael Ball & Alfie Boe most notably still set to hang around. Big new releases come from The Weeknd. Kate Bush, Kylie Minogue, Busted and many others - can any of them dethrone Little Mix?

Kate Bush is easy number 1 album, but Weeknd at 6? Bet he was hoping for more than that.
Posted by: Doctor Blind 26th November 2016, 02:48 PM
Little Mix down to #5.
Posted by: John-James 26th November 2016, 02:51 PM
I didn't expect Kate Bush to have the #1 in the bag. I kind of hoped The Weeknd could grab it 
Posted by: 🎄cqmerqn🎄 26th November 2016, 02:52 PM
Streaming should help The Weeknd go number one though
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 26th November 2016, 02:54 PM
Well it's definitely going to be a good week for new songs! (even if they are all by the same person)
Posted by: SKOB 26th November 2016, 03:09 PM
If LM somehow managed to get a second week that'd be biggest shock of the year. Bigger than Rick Astley's success
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 26th November 2016, 03:11 PM
What about when Blossoms got a second week at #1 after being at #5 on the Thursday update?
Posted by: SKOB 26th November 2016, 03:18 PM
I'm more thinking about the competition and time of the year.
Posted by: Joe. 26th November 2016, 03:25 PM
I'm guessing Little Mix are behind very frontloaded Busted and Kylie sales. I expect they'll climb to about 3, with Weeknd making it to around 4.
Posted by: Mart!n 26th November 2016, 03:43 PM
Little Mix must have dropped quite a bit in sales, I was quite shocked to see them drop to #5, it was bound to drop quite a bit after all the pre-orders were added last week but not that drop.
Surprised Kate Bush is ahead of The Weeknd, for some reason I can't see Kylie in the top 5, it could be Michael Ball & Alfie Boe and Elvis along with Busted and Kate Bush
Posted by: Hadji 26th November 2016, 03:47 PM
The Weeknd's album is now available physically in HMV but not sure about supermarkets so I can see him increasing his sales a bit
Posted by: Danvember 26th November 2016, 03:53 PM
The Weeknd will be top 3 this week surely? Though I didn't realise Kate Bush had a new album out.
Streaming data hasn't been counted yet so once that's factored in there's a big boost for his album.
Posted by: Suedehead2 26th November 2016, 03:54 PM
Streaming data hasn't been counted yet so once that's factored in there's a big boost for his album.
The Kate Bush album is a live one, not new material.
Posted by: Taylor Jago 26th November 2016, 03:58 PM
I really hope Minty has got it right for once. I want Kate Bush to have another number one album!
Posted by: mr_pmt 26th November 2016, 04:00 PM
Kylie?
I was expecting her top 40 at the absolute best...
Posted by: Common Sense 26th November 2016, 04:04 PM
Neither did I but it will be very front-loaded as there will have been a lot of pre-orders from fans. We'll see what the gap is.
Posted by: MrIndependent 26th November 2016, 04:12 PM
That's a disappointing but unsurprising position for The Weeknd's album. With the physicals not hitting shelves until today and the fact that this time of the year the album charts are very dependent on physical sales, I'm not shocked that other albums that have been doing well physically are ahead of him. I can see the record settling into a top five position in the finish though. I think he chose the wrong time of the year to release.
Posted by: deepinside 26th November 2016, 04:24 PM
Starboy might get #1 album on Jan-Feb instead if the momentum still holds up and there's no big events/big albums coming out during that time.
Posted by: timjimlee 26th November 2016, 04:26 PM
Great to see Kate at the top, Album will be front-loaded but hopefully the margin is enough to keep it top this week.
Album has been near top of Pre-orders for a while now, was hoping it could achieve more than 50k sales and the fact that The Weeknd's Album sales are a third of the Sales of Kate so far looks promising for her.
Posted by: Bjork 26th November 2016, 04:49 PM
Actually i thought The Weeknd was gonna be even lower in todays mids
Since Sat mids dont include streams yet
And I thought the physical was not out til Sunday?
So @6 today is expected
More shocked at LM down to @5
Although Ball/Boe were beating them on Thu
Posted by: 🎄cqmerqn🎄 26th November 2016, 05:04 PM
Yeah I think The Weeknd is at 6 based on digital sales alone? I'd say number one is a cert for him!
Posted by: Better Man 26th November 2016, 05:34 PM
Very happy for Kate Bush! Come on, classics!
Posted by: Joe. 26th November 2016, 06:44 PM
Digital is his market though. He's never been a big physical seller. Streaming will help him climb a couple of places, but that doesn't effect the album chart like it does the singles chart.
Posted by: girl_from_oz 26th November 2016, 08:24 PM
Ahh but Weeknd will have a lot of streams, judging by spotify while Kate Bush won't have any
Posted by: Jonjo 26th November 2016, 08:41 PM
Busted are at #2, according to Mint!
:o
Posted by: 🎄cqmerqn🎄 26th November 2016, 08:58 PM
Busted also have the xfactor!
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 26th November 2016, 09:47 PM
I really hope Kate Bush holds the top spot but with the Weeknd as high as 6 on streams alone Kate may lose the top spot, Busted will take number 3. Im finding hard to predict where Kylie will be this week.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 26th November 2016, 09:56 PM
I think Kylie will be around the 30's...... a mix of new album and a few sales of old album..... Problem with Kylie is she has only one new version... she didn't bother with a Vinyl etc which her fans want...... and the DVD of concert was released separately on ITunes.... so I don't think she will sell a lot to be honest.... maybe 5k at best?
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 26th November 2016, 10:45 PM
The Kylie album has no promotion to with it either and i think outside her core fanbase not many will know of its release.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 27th November 2016, 12:39 AM
I think Kylie has a slot on the X-factor final so she may pick up a few sales from that... its the same weekend as her Royal Albert Hall gig
Posted by: slowdown73 27th November 2016, 11:05 AM
Kylie reissue won't sell massively and it will drop quickly. Top 40 maybe at best. There's been virtually no promotion so apart from fans who would know it's out.
Posted by: Joe. 27th November 2016, 11:21 AM
Little Mix have jumped to 2 and Kate Bush has slowed.
Posted by: 🎄cqmerqn🎄 27th November 2016, 11:29 AM
I can imagine Mariah will enter the top 40 this week. Top 40 iTunes and just cracked Spotify Top 50
Posted by: liamk97 27th November 2016, 11:34 AM
If Little Mix receive a similar second week percentage drop as Get Weird (45%), they would be on track for 53k, which I would have thought would be enough for #1 if Kate Bush is the main competitor - I suspect she'll have solid sales for a live album but I'd be surprised if she could sell similar amounts of copies as Bruno and Olly's new albums did with it.
Posted by: 🎄cqmerqn🎄 27th November 2016, 11:38 AM
I think LM's percentage drop will be bigger due to their big sales debut
Posted by: Joe. 27th November 2016, 11:42 AM
Yeah, but they're a bigger artist now...hence the sales increase.
Posted by: Steve201 27th November 2016, 11:43 AM
I don't think they will drop THAT much considering its Xmas shopping season easily another 60-65k this week and no1 IMO!
Posted by: MrIndependent 27th November 2016, 11:51 AM
Great for Little Mix.
Any news on how Busted and The Weeknd are doing, Joe? Thanks in advance.
Posted by: 🎄cqmerqn🎄 27th November 2016, 11:55 AM
I think Busted could keep their top 5 position considering they have the xf
Posted by: twentyonemdh 27th November 2016, 11:58 AM
No they most certainly do not
Posted by: 🎄cqmerqn🎄 27th November 2016, 12:11 PM
Yes they do..?
oh wait nvm
Posted by: Jonjo 27th November 2016, 12:16 PM
Busted are "falling fast" and Mint says he can't see Weeknd being higher than 3! (I think 2 as I'm sure Kate Bush won't be keeping her lead for too long)
Posted by: John-James 27th November 2016, 12:42 PM
It's also worth nothing that The Weeknd's album is still up for preorder on Amazon. Tomorrow when it goes on actual sale, all those CD preorders will finally get added.
Posted by: MrIndependent 27th November 2016, 12:55 PM
Do you have a link? I can't find the tweet saying this anywhere.
I hope that means he's climbed into the top three or at least is headed in that direction.
Posted by: 🎄cqmerqn🎄 27th November 2016, 12:58 PM
I still think that The Weeknd will be number one with ease
Posted by: omrimayo 27th November 2016, 01:10 PM
That would be interesting... :| Such an amazing album he must be number 1.
Posted by: Jonjo 27th November 2016, 01:25 PM
I hope that means he's climbed into the top three or at least is headed in that direction.https://twitter.com/MintRoyale/status/802847519944413184
Posted by: Joe. 27th November 2016, 02:02 PM
His pre order is only 65 on Amazon. I don't think it'll add that much.
Posted by: timjimlee 27th November 2016, 02:08 PM
I think it could be a close one in the Album chart, Kate Bush, The Weeknd, Ball & Boe, Elvis & Little Mix should all be above 45k but can't see any of those going much more than 60k - Elvis down to £6.99 and currently best seller on Amazon is a dark horse as is Ball & Boe as these 2 will be the least front-loaded. The Weeknd's Sales tomorrow will be interesting though.
Posted by: Jonjo 27th November 2016, 03:36 PM
When does Ball and Boe's TV show air? Is it December?
Posted by: timjimlee 27th November 2016, 04:07 PM
December the 9th and I wouldn't mind betting a repeat in the week before Christmas.
Posted by: timjimlee 27th November 2016, 04:58 PM
Up to number 2 now (behind The Rolling Stones which is starting to look good for them the week after).
Posted by: Joe. 27th November 2016, 05:18 PM
Oh, Amazon digital you mean? The main Amazon physical chart (the one that actually impacts the charts a lot)only has him at 64 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/bestsellers/music/ref=pd_dp_ts_m_h__1#4
Posted by: timjimlee 27th November 2016, 05:22 PM
No, on Pre-order chart.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 27th November 2016, 09:09 PM
It will likely be a well fought battle for number 1 album this week but im hoping Kate Bush can do it.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 27th November 2016, 10:17 PM
Kylie confirmed for Jonathan Ross Christmas special. airs on 10th December and will be filmed midweek before her concerts take place. Great line up to... Miranda Hart and David Walliams and Paul Hollywood....
then X-factor final on the Sunday?? 11th?
Christmas is the theme for next week on X-factor.... this could be good also for Kylie as they may use some of her album for intros etc.... ? Cowell loves a Minogue
Posted by: Steve201 28th November 2016, 12:42 AM
Why would they use kylies album for the intros? (I'm unaware how XF themes work)?
Posted by: Steve201 28th November 2016, 12:42 AM
Wossys Xmas episode seems rather early - 10th? 2 weekends before Xmas itself!
Posted by: SKOB 28th November 2016, 08:46 AM
Are people serious with these "Kylie in top 5" comments?
Posted by: Joe. 28th November 2016, 08:49 AM
She might have been in Saturday's mids, but she no doubt fell out by yesterday and would have fallen even further today.
Posted by: vidcapper 28th November 2016, 10:32 AM
Kate Bush is easy number 1 album,
I'm surprised at that, as I thought it was jut a live album, rather than a studio one?
Posted by: SKOB 28th November 2016, 10:43 AM
"Minty's" "easy number one" means that its preorders are better than anyone else's
I really doubt Kate Bush will be top 3 because 50 Words of Snow opened with 49k
Posted by: timjimlee 28th November 2016, 10:52 AM
Chart Performances of Live Albums has definitely dropped off in recent years for a variety of obvious reasons (one of which is surely the easy availability on-line of live Performances) but Kate Bush's fans waited 35 years for this Tour, she had only ever Toured once before, to say this is long-awaited is an understatement.
Posted by: tommie 28th November 2016, 12:47 PM
^ Exactly. I'm not sure if Kate will stay at number one through the week as she's inevitably front-loaded, but it should sell way more than the average live album.
Posted by: bluebitchboy 28th November 2016, 01:24 PM
Kylie is soooooo close to the top5.
Erm, at no 33.
Posted by: JosephStyles 28th November 2016, 01:28 PM
Erm, at no 33.
Top 5 was just someone's prediction you know!
Besides, do you have a source for this information?
Posted by: Joe. 28th November 2016, 03:17 PM
Weeknd's album is still only 64 on Amazon, that's pretty poor for a new, Q4 release. Robbie, Olly, Little Mix, Metallica, Elvis were all top 20 before even being released!
Posted by: timjimlee 28th November 2016, 03:26 PM
Always a bit unsure what timeframe that "Best Sellers" list is based on though, it says "Updated hourly" but it is unclear what period it covers (as it was only available as a Pre-order right before Release it might be misleading).
I would agree, however, it does not look good for The Weeknd's chances of the top spot though.
Posted by: MrIndependent 28th November 2016, 04:38 PM
The Weeknd's album is out of stock on Amazon so not only is that not a good representation of how it could be selling but it also suggests that physical copies may still be getting produced. I don't think the label started pressing physicals of the record until late. What a mess. As suggested elsewhere in the thread he isn't a strong physical seller and I don't think his Amazon sales would add much to his overall total anyway.
Posted by: twentyonemdh 28th November 2016, 04:42 PM
Since when were you well worded
I thought you were the one that said something weird about James Arthur and Gaga
Posted by: 🎄cqmerqn🎄 28th November 2016, 04:53 PM
Mariah will easily go top 40 this week!
Posted by: Envoirment 28th November 2016, 05:07 PM
Can't wait for today's info, really hoping Kate Bush can somehow manage #1!

The one before, Aerial (2005), opened with 90k but had hit single and her first album since 1993 AND the sales were much better in general.
Posted by: Mart!n 28th November 2016, 05:42 PM
Gutted for Kylie, I don't think it be inside the top 75 by Friday, Top 60 could be a stretch

I doubt that they're low, Kate Bush will just be really front loaded. Clearly Little Mix are closing in on her fast for her to have been a long way ahead with them at #5 on Saturday, whilst now they're #2 and only 5k behind her. I wouldn't be surprised if the next few albums are selling more on a daily basis than Kate's live album is now.

Posted by: Rob S~ 28th November 2016, 06:10 PM
impressive for 'Human' to already be top 10 in the update. I think it could definitely go top 5 on Friday as it'll stay quite stable with radio support & now streaming increasing!
I can see Mariah entering around #32 on Friday & hopefully the Daivd Guetta track can sneak in too!

Good to see By Your Side on the climb, hopefully top 10 next week now & Charli XCX entering!

I just don't think the younger generation are interested in purchasing albums - see Bruno Mars and The Weeknd underperforming and the likes of Elvis Presley and Alfie Boe doing well.
Posted by: Taylor Jago 28th November 2016, 07:08 PM
I do find it very surprising that The Weeknd's is at #5, considering how well it's doing in the singles chart.

Michael Ball and Alfie Boe on track to take the lead at just the right time by the looks of things, looks like no1 this week as they are the most consistent sellers and then the FG special on the 9th. Although it would be interesting to see the comprehensive list of support planned - I'm sure LM will be all over the Tv in the next month!

not the most popular saw act anymore (but the one that looks like the saw mask tho)I think that comment is very debtable in relation to Kylie.
Poor start for Busted, Susan Boyle and Rumer in the album chart, i think all will end up dropping through the week and i predict number 11 for Busted, 21 for Susan Boyle and 31 for Rumer.
Little Mix are holding up wonderfully well on their 2nd week considering their excellent sales sales last.

Posted by: The Hit Parade 28th November 2016, 08:50 PM
I don't think it's a particularly poor start for Busted. At least, if you'd told me a couple of years ago that Busted would have a Top 20 album in November 2016 I wouldn't have believed you.
Posted by: Brian Quinn 28th November 2016, 08:51 PM
That's because the older generation have been collecting records for many years and have collections which they wish to add to. I am one of them and do not wish to download or stream. I have not bought a single for many years. Each to their own.

Posted by: dennispennis123 29th November 2016, 12:07 AM
To an extent I agree, the growth of streaming has meant younger people are more happy to stream an entire album rather than go out and buy a £10 CD or buy it digitally.
But the likes of Elvis, Alfie Boe, Andre Rieu etc, have always sold well at this time of year, older, established artists always sell a lot before Christmas.
Bruno and The Weeknd may well sell big numbers in the coming months but I never expected them to have huge debuts.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 29th November 2016, 12:24 AM
I agree, its harder and harder to sell albums to the younger generation, for example my daughter is 15 and a huge Little Mix fan, i said i would buy her the album if she wanted it and she was no its alright i dont like cd's i will just listen to the songs i like from the album online. Keep in mind, last year she was extremely keen to get the cd of their previous album, i know this is only one person but i think it reflects many many others of her age.
I myself am a huge fan of music and have bought thousands of cd;s but i notice i am buying less and less, this is for 2 reasons, their isnt as much music released that i like and also i listen to albums online before i buy them and luckily for me any albums i buy i know i will like, i dont miss the days of buying albums based on singles only to find out the rest of the album is terrible.
Back to the chart, im happy to see Kylie back in the chart with the re-release, i thought the album sold much better than expected last year, in general Christmas albums dont do well with the odd exceptions such as Mihcael Buble or the one released by Rod Stewart, other artists such as Leona Lewis, Kelly Clarkson sold much much less than Kylie. Kylie as i have said before has nothing to prove, she as had an amazing career and her albums are still doing better in the UK than many other females of time and after, Madonna, Britney Spears been examples.
I really expected Busted to be guaranteed a top 5 album and i hope it goes well for them but their new single is awful i much preferred the McBusted era. I really wanted Kate Bush to hold number 1.
Mariah Carey looking like in with a chance of returning to the top 40, i hope she has the biggest Christmas hit again this year like last year.
Posted by: Bré 29th November 2016, 01:03 AM
Little Mix had higher sales than any 'older generation' act of the year so far bar David Bowie though, and he wouldn't have sold as much as he did if it weren't for the timing of his death. Albums with older target audiences always sell well especially at this time of year, it doesn't exactly mean none of the younger acts can sell albums any more.
Also, The Weeknd's last album only sold a bit over 30k and was released at a less competitive time of year, I wouldn't say 'Starboy' is underperforming tbh.
Posted by: Serg Mix 29th November 2016, 01:09 AM
Surprise her for Christmas
Posted by: timjimlee 29th November 2016, 09:17 AM
The Black Friday promotional price for Elvis CD of £6.99 on amazon has ended this morning, it has gone back up to £9.49 - expect Ball & Boe to overtake it again in the Best Sellers. Little Mix Deluxe edition is only position below Ball & Boe (also the regular edition has gone back up £9.99, it is still in Top 10 Best Sellers but will probably drop as well). It is a shame for Little Mix they don't have much in the way of Promotion this week as they could secure a second week with a boost from somewhere, they could still do it though.
Posted by: Sinner 29th November 2016, 09:48 AM
As time goes on the singles chart seems to reflect more and more the taste of younger people and the album chart is being driven by sales to older generations. I'm not sure what that means for the future of the album chart. It may end up being a mostly vinyl chart with sales of a few hundred being enough to make number 1.
Posted by: Joe. 29th November 2016, 11:11 AM

we don't know what rate everyone is selling at. Little Mix must have sold quite a bit yesterday to have overtaken Bush's 5k lead with her still selling yesterday.
Posted by: BrookeOlivia 29th November 2016, 11:55 AM
Hopefully Little Mix hold till Friday now, Doing great though because end of last week wasn't ball and boe selling more than them daily?
Posted by: timjimlee 29th November 2016, 11:56 AM
Little Mix seem to be averaging about 8k a day at the moment, Bush probably wouldn't have sold much more than about 3k yesterday then???
Posted by: Joe. 29th November 2016, 11:58 AM
I can see Rolling Stones being #1 next Friday, with Michael Ball being #1 the week after that and then back to Little Mix for the week before Christmas, as I'm sure they'll have done more promo since then including X Factor.

Posted by: gooddelta 29th November 2016, 02:23 PM
At least it will have longevity.
There’s been quite a trend over the past 20 years of R&B/urban leaning acts performing quite badly with albums released in late Q4, mainly because they don’t jump out as obvious Christmas presents for the most part I suppose.
Sometimes they pick up the following year or have good longevity despite an underwhelming peak, but yeah, he’s a prime candidate to get lost in the Xmas rush I reckon. But yeah, the album will hang around for ages.
Posted by: pippa 29th November 2016, 02:23 PM
While i am thrilled to see Little Mix doing so well i really did want Kate Bush to attain another number 1 album as its been so long since she had a number 1. Sales are close in the top 5 but its now very likely Kate Bush will not be number 1 and based on that i am happy for Little Mix to hold on.
Olly Murs holding up extremely well which i welcome. Busted, Susan Boyle and Kylie all dropping in the newest update and this trend is something that will most likely continue through the week. I am surprised but not disappointed to see the Weeknd drop from yesterday but i have no doubt when the physical comes available a climb is certain as many of the songs are in the top 100 which indicates interest in the album.
Posted by: Joe. 29th November 2016, 02:25 PM
I think Urban artists like Weeknd would perform pretty much the same any time of the year. It would have been an easy #1 most of the year, but I don't think it gets a sales hike in Q4 lots of artists get because of physicals. Even artists like Drake or Frank Ocean, I don't think would benefit much from Q4 and I could even have seen them being beaten by large artists like Little Mix if they were.
Posted by: SKOB 29th November 2016, 02:27 PM
I wouldn't call five songs in top 40 underperforming... his music is just not for physical market

Michael & Alfie will take the #2 album tomorrow, they are selling thee times as much as Kate Bush sales she did yesterday. I think the Weeknd will chart between 7 to 10. Nice to see Little Mix taking the lead, its the highest album sold yesterday.
Top 5 singles are looking set in concrete, maybe not for James Arthur, Maroon 5 could end up as a non mover at #5, once all data is collated.
Posted by: liamk97 29th November 2016, 03:12 PM
Hopefully Kate Bush can remain Top 5 - she's on track for #4 but could be #5 if Olly Murs keeps climbing.
Little Mix should hold onto #1 but I wouldn't be surprised if Michael & Alfie overtook them next week, only to possibly remain #2 in favour of The Rolling Stones.
Posted by: Joe. 29th November 2016, 03:18 PM
Little Mix should hold onto #1 but I wouldn't be surprised if Michael & Alfie overtook them next week, only to possibly remain #2 in favour of The Rolling Stones.
Yeah, to expand on what I said earlier I think it'll go

#1 Little Mix
#2 Michael & Alfie
#3 Elvis
next week (9th):
#1 Rolling Stones
#2 Michael & Alfie
#3 Little Mix
16th
#1 Michael & Alfie
#2 Little Mix

23rd
#1 Little Mix (assuming they have more promo/XF before this)
#2 Michael & Alfie
#3 Elvis

The Weeknd simply cannot be bombing this hard. Probably some sales are missing or something. Would be shocked if he really missses the top 5 on Friday.
Little Mix slaying They are on track to sell, ~55k, right?
Posted by: liamk97 29th November 2016, 03:29 PM
Yeah I think that sounds like a sensible prediction, baring any unconfirmed promo slots that may be announced in the meantime. It definitely feels like it's between Little Mix and Michael & Alfie for Christmas #1 in the albums; they're certainly the main stand outs of who stands a chance of hitting 100k+ this December, potentially Elvis as well and maybe Robbie given it seems there is a lot of promo coming up for him (an ITV show and potentially a performance before the New Year's Eve fireworks on the BBC).

Posted by: JosephStyles 29th November 2016, 03:36 PM

Posted by: MrIndependent 29th November 2016, 04:27 PM
The Weeknd's album looks like it'll top out at roughly 32k sales, which is less than Beauty Behind the Madness debuted with. The messy rollout isn't helping (only 19% of his sales are physical), but I think everyone overestimated the hype of the album unfortunately. I suspect it will repeak at a later date and have great longevity though.
I don't know if it was posted, but Kate Bush's album was only the 13th largest selling album yesterday. Interesting.
Posted by: John-James 29th November 2016, 04:36 PM
He is NOT bombing
Posted by: MrIndependent 29th November 2016, 04:37 PM
The interest in the album is clearly there for the entire album to be in the singles top 100; the problem in the end is he has picked the wrong time of the year to release. I'm disappointed but not worried.

Nice to see Little Mix extended their lead over Ball & Boe, I seen on the Little Mix forum too if they get a second week at #1 it will be first time in 15 years a girl band as stayed #1 more than 1 week which is crazy always thought Girls Aloud was last girl band to do it.
Posted by: Joe. 29th November 2016, 05:38 PM

Posted by: twentyonemdh 29th November 2016, 07:23 PM
I hope a few more Weeknd songs can sneak into the top 40 & I Feel It Coming can climb into the top 10, he's increasing a lot on streaming so it's a possibility.
Posted by: AngelaKD 29th November 2016, 08:03 PM
That's simply not true. The NOW compilations regularly chart in the Top 5. What they don't do is top the chart on a regular basis.
ETA: Debut chart positions of the last 5 NOWs--4,4,7,5,7
All the TEAs from the singles get credited to the original artists, so their pure sales numbers are the same as their SPS numbers.

Just go back to album charts especially round Xmas season in the 1980s and you will see why the created that chart!
Posted by: Doctor Blind 29th November 2016, 08:18 PM
Speaking of farcical charts, Little Mix finally knocked Drake off of the album streaming chart #1 after 27 consecutive (28 non-consecutive) weeks at number 1.
Clearly the addition of streaming is really representative and works REALLY WELL on the albums chart.
Posted by: andeeeeyhart 29th November 2016, 08:45 PM
True. But then that's the same with pretty much any album not released alongside Adele.
Posted by: Doctor Blind 29th November 2016, 09:05 PM
That was a slightly tongue-in-cheek post I think there...
Posted by: Hadji 29th November 2016, 10:16 PM
Not just NOWs. You are forgetting that the soundtrack for South Pacific spent 70 consecutive weeks at #1 on the album chart between November 1958 and March 1960. It spent 115 non-consecutive weeks at #1 between November 1958 and September 1961 and OCC didn't think to create a compilation chart then
Posted by: Hadji 29th November 2016, 10:31 PM
I meant that they should chart in the album SALES chart as well as the compilation chart
Posted by: andeeeeyhart 29th November 2016, 11:07 PM
Ah yeah. I just read the thread back
Posted by: Yorkie3 30th November 2016, 02:51 AM
What you're missing here is that albums were barely even a thing in 1958. Look at the album chart from around that time and earlier and you'll see the top 10 (or top 5 as it was at one point) was mostly made up of soundtrack albums, with the odd addition of Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra. It spent so long at the top of the chart because there was literally no competition, was probably only selling a few hundred copies a week (although of course we'll never know exactly), so there would have been no point in creating a compilation chart to leave the official album chart pretty much empty.
Posted by: SKOB 30th November 2016, 08:10 AM
Regarding Little Mix, I think their new sound is quite a bit aimed to UK market as they really underperfomed in the US, #25 compared to two top ten's and #13 they have previously achieved
Posted by: Joe. 30th November 2016, 08:59 AM
This was the first album they did not promote over there.
Posted by: timjimlee 30th November 2016, 09:38 AM
Not sure whether it has been mentioned yet but looks like Robbie will get a big boost next week after the BRITs ICON Special on ITV on Monday (it's an hour and a half Special).
I do think the Album has plenty of potential to get back to Top 5 for the lead-up to Xmas.
Any chance it will stay in the Top 10 this week?

I think the album will be on #11 this week but since next week it will be in Top-5 during the month.
That's too cool promo for that:
Dec.5 - Brits Icon Concert on ITV1 (1:45)
Dec.6 - Royal Variety Performance BBC1
Dec.8 - BBC Radio 2: Concert + interviews + live performance
Dec.9 - Key 103 Christmas Live
Dec.12 - BBC Music Awards - Dec.12
Dec.19 - Heart Concert
Dec.31 - New Year's Eve Concert (strong rumor)

Kate Moss is going to release a video to promote Elvis' 'The Wonder Of You' on December 16th in a bid to get it No.1 for Christmas. Not sure whether it is the album or the single from it she is promoting.

Where's Louisa and Ellie? Thanks
Posted by: JosephStyles 30th November 2016, 02:10 PM
Louisa #17, Ellie's up a bit from last week but still not that close to the top 40
Posted by: Danvember 30th November 2016, 02:31 PM
it will probably spend ages in the top 10 eventually tho
Posted by: BrookeOlivia 30th November 2016, 02:47 PM
Have Little Mix extended their lead again by a few hundred? Think was a 3,200 lead yesterday (over ball and boe) wasn't it looks like 3,600 today.
Posted by: JosephStyles 30th November 2016, 02:51 PM
Correct!
Posted by: Joe. 30th November 2016, 02:52 PM
Yeah, they were the highest sellers by around 450 copies.
Posted by: MrIndependent 30th November 2016, 02:56 PM
Lovely to see that Starboy has climbed back into the top five, but positions 5-7 in the albums are very close and it might easily end up falling out again.
Glad that Little Mix have continued to extend their lead; I recognised that the Black Friday sale on Amazon had ended and their stability on there had started to decrease because of it. I was worried that Michael Ball & Alfie Boe might have started to sell more because of that, but so far so good.

There's so many christmas gift bundles with the album on their official website, I imagine loads of people are going there to buy the album rather than Amazon.
Posted by: BrookeOlivia 30th November 2016, 03:22 PM
Thank you for confirming guys, Should stay #1 for the second week then really wanted that for them with it being 15 years since a girlband did it.
They aren't doing too bad on amazon, Deluxe is still #5 and the standard is around #12 or #13 I think.
Posted by: Hadji 30th November 2016, 03:29 PM
Starboy could end up selling more than what BBTM did in its first week
Posted by: pippa 30th November 2016, 03:35 PM
Based on their previous album Get Weird, Little Mix always appear to sell better towards the end of the week as Get Weird in general ended up with a higher position on Friday than it was in the midweek chart information through the week. Based on that i hope they can fend off Ball and Boe to hold the number 1 but the battle is close.
Robbie Williams has some serious promotion lined up, while i dont like any of the material from the album that i have heard and wont be buying the album myself its worth mentioning that he knows how to market and promote an album and many other could and should take a leaf out of his book.
Busted should cling onto the number 10 position by the skin of their teeth, unfortunately the same cant be said for Susan Boyle and Kylie who will most likely fall for the remainder of the week.
Posted by: Hadji 30th November 2016, 03:41 PM
It will as Rag'n'Bone Man has poor streaming compared to The Weeknd. I'll be amazed if RNB Man can prevent The Weeknd from pushing him out of the top 10
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 30th November 2016, 04:34 PM
How far is it behind #9? Bc obviously I want to see both in the Top 10
Posted by: JosephStyles 30th November 2016, 04:35 PM
Not far at all but Closer is selling more
Posted by: FleetSeb 30th November 2016, 04:36 PM
I Feel It Coming is absolute tune so I hope it does make top 10 this week. Human is alright and will get there in the future anyway.
Posted by: twentyonemdh 30th November 2016, 04:40 PM
Both are tunes but Human is preferable for the sake of a new entry in the top 10.
Posted by: Jason 30th November 2016, 06:03 PM
Is Shed A Light top 45 or top 50?
Posted by: Danvember 30th November 2016, 06:06 PM
it's just in the top 50 but at the rate it is selling at it will certainly miss it.
Posted by: Rob S~ 30th November 2016, 06:09 PM
Where abouts (if they are top 100) are Wizzard, Pogues & Shakin Stevens out of interest
Posted by: Jason 30th November 2016, 06:33 PM
Oh God! This is so good.
Well, Shed A Light's streaming are increasing now and I think they will be UK top 40 next week.
Posted by: JosephStyles 30th November 2016, 06:36 PM
Pogues just outside top 80
Shakin' Stevens just outside top 100
Wizzard top 130
Posted by: Chig66 30th November 2016, 06:51 PM
I never expected Kate Bush to pick up many streaming points anyway, but I've just been told by a friend (who's a big Kate Bush fan) that she hasn't allowed streaming on Spotify or Apple. Does that mean there's no streaming for Before The Dawn at all?
Looking at today's update, compared with Monday's (which led to various media reporting that she was heading for #1 on Friday), Kate Bush has only increased her chart units by 18.0% in two days, which is why she's been overtaken by Little Mix (63.3% increase) and Ball & Boe (64.8% increase). At this rate, she'll be overtaken by Elvis & RPO (59.1% increase) as well by Friday. On the plus side, I don't think Kate Bush has ever had a #4 or #5 peaking album, has she? (Not up to Aerial, anyway.)

her albums since debut :

#6
#1

#1
#1
#2
#2
#3
#2
#5
This will be her 11th top 5 album, impressive! I know Madonna has the most when it comes to females (20), but is Kate the runner-up?
Posted by: mr_pmt 30th November 2016, 07:04 PM
Kylie Minogue has 11.
Posted by: BigMixer 30th November 2016, 07:06 PM
Yes - 11, 8 studio albums and 3 compilations, so yea she is #2.
1. Madonna : 20
2. Kylie Minogue : 11
3. Celine Dion : 10
3. Kate Bush : 10 (about to get 11th)
this is probably it.

It's a climber, not a new entry!
Posted by: The Hit Parade 30th November 2016, 07:37 PM
It's true that Before The Dawn isn't available to stream. I'm not sure whether the album would benefit from streams of the studio versions of the track, though I presume those would be relatively few anyway.
Posted by: Steve201 30th November 2016, 08:03 PM
What new sound would that be?
What position is Christmas by Buble?
Posted by: twentyonemdh 30th November 2016, 08:05 PM
But it's never been in the top 40 before, and the Official Chart on Radio 1 covers the top 40 meaning it's theoretically a new entry in the top 40.
Posted by: twentyonemdh 30th November 2016, 08:06 PM
As far as I'm aware, their sound is as whiny and generic as ever
Posted by: Steve201 30th November 2016, 08:11 PM

The utter irony of a twenty one pilots fan calling anything 'whiny'.
Posted by: Chig66 30th November 2016, 10:49 PM
Surely that wouldn't comply with the chart rules? Or would it? The tracks on Before The Dawn are unique tracks; live recordings from 2014. If you could clock up streaming points for those tracks by playing the original studio versions, that would seem daft to me, but I suppose you could argue they're different versions of the same songs, for the purposes of the singles chart, rather than the albums chart. Anyone able to clarify the rules on this?

Posted by: The Hit Parade 30th November 2016, 11:40 PM
I've checked the chart rules (probably should have done that before) and whilst streams can be attributed to multiple studio and one Greatest Hits album, live albums are explicitly excluded from that so only live versions count. It's not totally clear what happens when an act has multiple live versions of the same songs but that doesn't apply in this case anyway.
It's Page 9 of this if you wanted to check: http://www.officialcharts.com/media/650607/official-uk-charts-album-chart-rules-may-2016.pdf

Posted by: Joe. 1st December 2016, 04:24 PM
No idea what their lead is, but I've been told the girls are on 49k now. Great second week sales tbh! Looking at 55k week, outselling DNA's and Salute's first week sales in week 2!
Posted by: BrookeOlivia 1st December 2016, 04:28 PM
Little Mix are killing it right now, I think this will keep selling great over next few weeks could past 100k one week on lead up to Christmas as I am pretty sure an x factor final performance is going to happen for them.
Posted by: pippa 1st December 2016, 04:38 PM
I think the album should easily sell in the region of 400,000+ by year end.
Posted by: Hadji 1st December 2016, 04:40 PM
But they won't stop Adele from doing a Simply Red
Posted by: timjimlee 1st December 2016, 04:40 PM
As per last week there was a slight slowdown for Little Mix on Wednesday/Thursday but will be surprised if they don't have enough to secure the top spot tomorrow.
Posted by: timjimlee 1st December 2016, 04:47 PM
This would be an excellent result given "Get Weird" sold 388,593 in 2015, it would definitely indicate a stronger era (ie not just because they got to number 1 this time).
