Sunday Chart Predictions
Predicting the 03/05 to 09/05 chart



I really like you but I can’t keep cool about it
For a third week, the Top 2 should easily remain static with 30k+ worth of streams on their sides, keeping Carly Rae Jepsen from getting any higher than #3 with her new single 'I Really Like You'. Also in the Top 10 should be a new entry from Alesso with the Kylie-sampling 'Cool' (featuring vocals from Roy English) and possibly Iggy Azalea and Jennifer Hudson's 'Trouble' which has been jumping up the chart the past couple of weeks. Elsewhere, new entries should include Skepta's 'Shutdown' and AronChupa's 'I'm An Albatroaz' whilst a big climb may be in store for Jack Ü (Diplo and Skrillex) and Justin Bieber's 'Where Are Ü Now'.

In the albums, Blur should receive their 6th number one with eighth studio album The Magic Whip - their first in 12 years! Joining them in the Top 10 may be The Proclaimers with Let's Hear It for the Dogs, whilst other new entries should include Jules Knight's Change Of Heart, Zac Brown Band's Jekyll + Hyde, Martin Gore's MG, Tracey Thorn's Songs from the Falling, George FitzGerald's Fading Love, Three Days Grace's Human and Mew's + -

Posted by: SmileyKylie 28th April 2015, 09:05 AM

Alesso's Cool is now up to 4th on UK ITunes... really been climbing well..... Can it sneak a top 5? not sure streaming enough? Obviously sampling Kylie's epic and under achieving dancefloor smash 'Get Outta My Way' is doing the trick

Posted by: Hadji 28th April 2015, 09:41 AM

I hope Wiz & Omi will manage another week of big sales if they're both going to hold CRJ out of the top 2

Posted by: Joe. 28th April 2015, 09:53 AM

Slay 'um, Carly. I hope she can hold on until tomorrow's chart update.

Posted by: Mart!n 28th April 2015, 09:53 AM

If anyone wants to fish for other info, ask Mint Royale

Posted by: Joe. 28th April 2015, 09:56 AM

7k gap between Carly and Wiz.

Posted by: mr_aly 28th April 2015, 09:59 AM

I really wish Carly could hold that!

Any chance of her keeping #2 if she's that far ahead of Wiz?

Posted by: Heathyheath_ 28th April 2015, 09:59 AM

I'm shocked but it's a happy kind of shock! I wonder if Carly's preorders were a little more substantial than we gave her credit for!

Posted by: Mango 28th April 2015, 10:00 AM

Doubt she'll be Number 1 tomorrow then, she certainly won't by Thursday.

Posted by: Joe. 28th April 2015, 10:01 AM

She could hold onto the #1 if she increased just a little on iTunes, as her streaming is already up to #36 (Jess Glynne was only #47 at this point). Sadly, Capital have just stopped playing the song all of a sudden. No idea what their agenda is?


I kept saying her pre-oders would be big, she was pretty much top 100 on iTunes for about 4 weeks. And overall the pre-oder was available for ages!

Really? I wouldn't have expected the gap to shorten THAT much tomorrow?

Posted by: Mango 28th April 2015, 10:02 AM

Has she got any UK promotion lined up?

Posted by: SmileyKylie 28th April 2015, 10:08 AM

Can anyone tell me how ALesso Cool is doing on streaming?

Posted by: Šþinniŋğ Ŧř& 28th April 2015, 10:12 AM

Ideally Carly for #2 on sales and #3 combined, and Cool for top 5 sales and maybe 7 ish combined

Mint Royale to become a chart mod please

Posted by: Mart!n 28th April 2015, 10:17 AM

Alesso #4


I'm assuming Jess makes up the top 5.

Posted by: Rush 28th April 2015, 10:23 AM

It's not top 100 on Spotify yet.

Posted by: steve201 28th April 2015, 11:40 AM

Hope Blur are exceeding my expectations!

Posted by: Hadji 28th April 2015, 12:31 PM

I hope he doesn't do a Sigma and miss the top 10 but get top 5 on sales

Iggy! Really hoping she can hold that top 10 placing!

Posted by: Hadji 28th April 2015, 04:47 PM

With those sales, hope Blur can crack 100,000 sales by the end of the week. If it does, it will be the fastest selling album of 2015 so far. If they don't do it, hopefully Mumford & Sons will do it the following week

Posted by: mr_aly 28th April 2015, 04:51 PM

#3 is 8.7k behind Carly then, no way she won't get caught by both of them.

Posted by: liamk97 28th April 2015, 04:51 PM

That optimism! Sorry but they have no chance - they've opened 3k ahead of what Madonna did so I can't imagine them getting much more than 40k.

Posted by: Josh. 28th April 2015, 04:55 PM

No

Posted by: Rob S 28th April 2015, 04:56 PM

Where's 'Lean On' and 'Someone New' (this one only if you have outside top 40 info)?

Posted by: Mango 28th April 2015, 04:57 PM

Carly very comfortably Top 3 on Sunday then.

Posted by: Mart!n 28th April 2015, 05:10 PM

Lean On - No mover
Someone New #45

Posted by: Mart!n 28th April 2015, 05:11 PM

And for anyone that wants Mariah Carey's position #86

Fallers from last week's top 40 singles chart 35, 36, 37, 38, 39

Lol at Taylor Swift back up the chart, she probably drop out of the 40 by the end of the week... again

And the top 40 is Sam Smith free pray it stays that way.

Posted by: monai 28th April 2015, 05:17 PM

Any updates for the prodigy?thanks

Posted by: Taylor Jago 28th April 2015, 05:18 PM

How did Up manage to stay in? (Not complaining)

Posted by: Herbs 28th April 2015, 05:19 PM

Where are kodaline?

Posted by: Mart!n 28th April 2015, 05:22 PM

#17



#31, I'm assuming you are after the single

Posted by: Rob S 28th April 2015, 05:23 PM

This means Major Lazer could take #5 on Sunday and I think Hozier will be top 40 either tomorrow or Thursday too. Yay.

Posted by: Herbs 28th April 2015, 05:24 PM

Yes thank you

Posted by: ___∆___ 28th April 2015, 05:26 PM

I really hope the album can start zooming up too - It's available most places for less than £5 and it wouldn't take much (2k in sales?) to go Top 20.

Posted by: Šþinniŋğ Ŧř& 28th April 2015, 05:32 PM

Well a Carly midweek #1 will do! but I do hope she can get at least #2 combined. The sales are rather close and it is way to early a stage to consider where she will be by Sunday
Cool doing rather well at #4 even though its pre-orders didn't look promising is it possible there are sales info for #6 to compare it? Either a sales gap or sales for #6 will be fine thank you.

And Taylor coming for that "Most top 40 re-entries in the midweek chart without staying there officially" record

He may have meant both since he used "are" rather than "is" (unless it was a grammar mistake )

Posted by: Dobbo 28th April 2015, 06:06 PM

Excellent that Albatraoz is that high up, should be certain of a top 40 result now which is good considering the way they've screwed around with the release.

Praying that Cool can stay top 10, I'm getting massive Higher vibes from it though.

Posted by: gooddelta 28th April 2015, 06:20 PM

One of the most comfortable #3 hits of all time perhaps? She looks like she'll be clear of the song at #4 by around 50k, which seems astonishing.

Good for her that the UK are still supporting her, the song is doing very little elsewhere. I guess we'll always be one of the biggest pure pop loving nations, it's a wonder that more pop like this isn't pushed here.

Posted by: Šþinniŋğ Ŧř& 28th April 2015, 06:43 PM

He almost certainly will it's a top 5 placement that's questionable however...

Posted by: Aphrodite 28th April 2015, 07:24 PM

Great start for Blur, im hoping they can manage 50,000 but think 45,000 is where it will end up. At least its sales are half decent and much better than the last 3 weeks sales at number 1, it will be close between the Prodigy and Blur in debut week sales.

I am surprised (happily) to see Carly number 1 in the midweeks, also surprised to see OMI number 1 on itunes, could we have a proper battle for number 1 on our hands yet this week? i do hope so,i do like the surprise element of who will be number 1 every now and again.

I really hope Hozier's someone new can crack the top 40 i dont mind when as long as it happens, take me to the church is selling reasonably well and overshadowing its existence as a single, im also hoping the album will re-peak at some stage.

Posted by: Brett-Butler 28th April 2015, 07:51 PM

Absolutely chuffed to see Public Service Broadcasting back in the top 40 albums. Presumably their sold-out tour is helping this out. It could be on its way to going Silver at this rate, which would be ruddy marvelous.

Posted by: steve201 28th April 2015, 07:59 PM

Great start for about there hopefully they'll break 40k. And Cheerleader in with a real chance this week or def next! Fair play to them, clearly a popular song!!

Hope Hozier breaks the top 40 and Lean On could end up as high as 4 by Sunday!

Posted by: liamk97 28th April 2015, 08:00 PM

Still just over a third of 60k so Silver may be a long shot.

Posted by: Mullo 28th April 2015, 08:46 PM

Anyone got madonnas position?

Posted by: Herbs 28th April 2015, 09:15 PM

Is passenger still top 40 in the albums?

Posted by: mr_aly 28th April 2015, 10:16 PM

#47 with Rebel Heart.

Posted by: Joe. 28th April 2015, 10:48 PM

Really pleased with 37k for Carly, even though it's not going to be number 1. Jess Glynne was only at 2k more at this point on her first week at #1, and she'd had the number 1 effect to help her.

Hoping Carly manages 81k+ on Sunday and becomes the fastest selling #3 since Gangnam style at the end of 2012!

Posted by: ManicKangaroo 28th April 2015, 11:59 PM

At the moment, yes but its got almost no chance of being there on Sunday

Posted by: James1987 29th April 2015, 06:20 AM

I won't get my hopes up just yet...just need an Ed Sheeran free week now and that would make my year

Posted by: milly 29th April 2015, 02:07 PM

Could you, please, tell me if TT are back in top 40?

Posted by: Mart!n 29th April 2015, 02:10 PM

Top 100 will be revealed after 4pm on OCC website

Posted by: milly 29th April 2015, 02:12 PM

Thank you.

Posted by: Rob S 29th April 2015, 02:35 PM

5 new entries top 40 is good to see. Yay 'Someone New' top 40

Posted by: Heathyheath_ 29th April 2015, 02:37 PM

They've been doing some form of competition all day that triggers when Muse songs are played. Originally I was so confused lol, I don't think the likes of competitions should be included during the already limited chart update!

Posted by: mr_aly 29th April 2015, 02:44 PM

God, that new Hozier track is DIRE.

Posted by: Joe. 29th April 2015, 02:45 PM

If this song is overplayed as much as TMTC, it's going to be torture.

Really hope Carly has nabbed that Chart Update #1, might help increase airplay somewhat.

Posted by: Hadji 29th April 2015, 02:52 PM

Alesso down to 6 today from yesterday's 4. I reckon it's going to miss the top 10 but I hope it doesn't. It needs to be streamed as much as "Heroes (We Could Be)" was

Posted by: Joe. 29th April 2015, 02:54 PM

I think being 59p might keep Alesso just stable enough to stay top 10 on Sunday. Depends if it gets some streaming sales, hopefully when Spotify updates today, it'll be safely top 100.

- Hurrah for Carly holding onto that #1 for the update . Knew she would with a 7k lead yesterday. Though that's going to be a lot smaller now.

Excellent news for Major Lazer being top 5, and Iggy getting a more stable top 10 placing.

Posted by: JosephStyles 29th April 2015, 02:55 PM

Iggy #8, up a place from yesterday!!

Posted by: mr_aly 29th April 2015, 02:58 PM

Carly #1, I wish SO MUCH she could keep that. Grrrrrrr.

Posted by: Mart!n 29th April 2015, 03:01 PM

Carly is just 1,000 copies ahead, it be toppled tomorrow

Posted by: Joe. 29th April 2015, 03:03 PM

I bet if she'd released next week, it'd be do-able, too :\

It also looks like Wiz Khalifa will be #1 until the LunchMoney Lewis song is released. I hope Omi can squeeze in a week at #1 by the time the LunchMoney Lewis song is released

Posted by: Rob S 29th April 2015, 03:23 PM

By that Wiz song too Joy! I'd prefer either Carly or Omi at #1 over another week of that. oh well.

Yay at Major Lazer top 5 though would love to reach #4 officially which I don't think is too out of reach.

Posted by: Joe. 29th April 2015, 03:24 PM

Wow at Talking Body already being 91 in the midweeks! People must be streaming the remixes as well as buying them.

Posted by: 'Dan 29th April 2015, 03:53 PM

yay at a Sam Smith free top 40! He's #41 though so will probably be there on Sunday when Style inevitably suffers from the weekend streaming effect

good to see Skepta and AronChupa safely top 40 and Alesso inside the top 10 Really hope 'Cool' can stay top 10 on Sunday but streaming will probably kick it out.

Looks like we can add Carly to the list of midweek #1s that didn't make it officially then, as Wiz & Omi should easily overtake

Posted by: Ethan 29th April 2015, 04:11 PM

Carly has done remarkably well to cling on for the chart update #1, given the rate at which Wiz Khalifa and OMI are being streamed!

Finger crossed that Alesso can retain his top ten status against the weekend tidal streaming surge! Pleasing to see AronChupa and Skepta on course to crack the top40 on Sunday!

Posted by: Hadji 29th April 2015, 04:22 PM

People just need to stop streaming that abomination then hopes up, we will definitely have a Sam Smith-less chart this Sunday as it's #84 on iTunes and is falling too

Posted by: ___∆___ 29th April 2015, 06:35 PM

Good to see Take That and The Shires getting tour boosts for their under performing albums and entering back into the Top 40 after dropping out of the Top 75

Posted by: ___∆___ 29th April 2015, 06:40 PM

Also some decent movement in the singles chart - Ciara at #70, This really deserves to be a hit - Hopefully Radio will pick up on it. Mariah just making it at #94 although it's now on free fall on iTunes so will be well short of the Top 100 by Sunday

No suprise but ouch at Conor slumping to #89 - Bit of a disastrous comeback

Posted by: Doctor Blind 29th April 2015, 06:56 PM

Great sales for Blur, I am properly loving “Lonesome Street” at the moment!

Posted by: T Boy 29th April 2015, 07:02 PM

Any particular reason Maroon 5 have jumped into the albums top 10?

Posted by: steve201 29th April 2015, 07:06 PM

Only the assumption of the success of their singles and the low sales?

Posted by: ___∆___ 29th April 2015, 07:11 PM

Suprised it's taken this long to return to the Top 10 tbh - It's a great album and have 3 silver selling singles from it.

Posted by: Šþinniŋğ Ŧř& 29th April 2015, 07:27 PM

Nothing to cheer about.

Yes for Carly still midslaying at #1! it won't get #1 officially of course but this is still an achievement!
Lean On top 5 also!!!

Posted by: The Hit Parade 29th April 2015, 08:03 PM

It was 99p on Google yesterday. So were Kodaline and Josh Grobag, although the latter's chart position obviously won't have been affected.

Posted by: ___∆___ 29th April 2015, 08:35 PM

Seems they are back to their daily 99p deals - Today's are Mark Ronson, Catfish and The Bottler and Charli XCX so all of those could get a healthy boost!

Posted by: The Hit Parade 29th April 2015, 09:23 PM

Catfish probably will, but surely you could already get the one song anybody actually wants from the Mark Ronson album for 99p?

Posted by: Aphrodite 29th April 2015, 11:53 PM

Take that back in the top 40 albums

Posted by: JSG 30th April 2015, 08:35 AM

Yes at Jess back upto #4 in that update. Looks like she's gonna have a very healthy chart run with this 😙

It's a shame Carly is set to lose out on the #1 though :/

Posted by: pippa 30th April 2015, 09:16 AM

The tour is benefiting the album sales greatly of Take That. Top 30 possibly on Sunday.

Posted by: steve201 30th April 2015, 12:28 PM

Hope we get an update today

Posted by: Mart!n 30th April 2015, 12:32 PM

They are not always guaranteed, and I only just got yesterdays, not worth implementing Tues sales, as sales for Weds will be much higher.

Posted by: steve201 30th April 2015, 12:54 PM

I know Im justdying to know lol, appreciate the hard work!

Posted by: MrIndependent 30th April 2015, 01:00 PM

Carly will end up at #3.

Posted by: Joe. 30th April 2015, 01:07 PM

She'll already be #3 today. Thinking #3 on around 85k, with the other two passing 100k again.

Posted by: ___∆___ 1st May 2015, 08:45 AM

Hopefully big boost for the Taylor album this weekend - Currently 99p on Google Play, Such a brilliant album

Posted by: Joe. 1st May 2015, 08:51 AM

Hoping Charli XCX returns to the top 75 with Sucker on Sunday from her 99p benefit.

Great news for Blur I must admit I do prefer their older stuff i.e. 'Parklife' and 'The Great Escape' eras - I'd say '13' as well in that list - but it's pleasing to see they can come back 12 years after their last album and still do so well.

Should get an update this morning from MW at some point, as for sales is another different matter.

Your host will be Joe. acting on my behalf.

That's it for Carly then, #3 it is! Still an awesome result.

Posted by: JosephStyles 1st May 2015, 10:31 AM

Iggy still #8 Could possibly make #7 if Alesso falls behind!

Posted by: Joe. 1st May 2015, 10:32 AM

Sucker back in the top 40


Shoot any requests over - Only have the top 40 though.

Posted by: MrIndependent 1st May 2015, 10:43 AM

Was George Ezra's album 99p on Google Play? It was #13 in the previous update.

Posted by: Rob S~ 1st May 2015, 10:53 AM

I'm pretty sure Hozier hasn't slipped out since it's 22 on iTunes

anyway decent result for Carly. Shame it wasn't Omi at #1 though, so bored of that Wiz track already

Posted by: Joe. 1st May 2015, 10:55 AM

#38

Posted by: Heathyheath_ 1st May 2015, 11:00 AM

Is Lethal Bizzle still in the top 40? also do you have any idea of the kind of lead Wiz has on Omi?

Posted by: Joe. 1st May 2015, 11:06 AM

Yes, he's at #30, so should make the top 40 on Sunday. No, no sales info.

Also, Clean Bandit are down to #10, wouldn't be surprised if they exited the top 10 on Sunday, with something stream-heavy like 'Sugar' overtaking.

Posted by: Mart!n 1st May 2015, 11:15 AM

I see Sam Smith is at #40 in the singles chart, probably not a Sam Smith free chart on Sunday after all, will climb a couple of places on streams

Posted by: Rob S~ 1st May 2015, 11:46 AM

Who did he kick out?

Posted by: Mart!n 1st May 2015, 12:15 PM

By method of deduction... Pitbull... no sad loss there.

Posted by: milly 1st May 2015, 12:28 PM

Do you know if TT are still in top 40, please? I see they're no longer at 35.

Posted by: Joe. 1st May 2015, 12:30 PM

Down 1 from that.

Posted by: milly 1st May 2015, 12:44 PM

Thank you

Posted by: Šþinniŋğ Ŧř& 1st May 2015, 01:10 PM

Carly for #3 then *sigh*

Praying it gets #2 on sales though!

Posted by: Joe. 1st May 2015, 01:20 PM

She'll be #3 on sales, too. Not that it really matters.

Posted by: Hadji 1st May 2015, 01:23 PM

Despite it dropping to #91 on iTunes. If you want to stream music, stream Alesso's new song and boycott any Sam Smith song. It's impossible for OCC to remove streaming from the singles chart but it's not impossible for Sam Smith to remove his music from streaming services

Posted by: mr_aly 1st May 2015, 01:38 PM

I want Sam Smith gone as much as you do, but are you even listening to yourself? You sound like an utter lunatic.

Posted by: Hadji 1st May 2015, 01:42 PM

We'll just have to deal with the fact that he'll probably hang around forever. I'm done with hoping. It's a shame that the version which was for charity has already gone. I also think that Alesso will do a Sigma and miss the top 10 but get top 5 on sales

Posted by: Šþinniŋğ Ŧř& 1st May 2015, 01:56 PM

!!!!!!
Some people actually like his music, and if he wasn't any good no one would buy or stream his music!

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 1st May 2015, 02:03 PM

1989 please

Posted by: Hadji 1st May 2015, 02:06 PM

I'm sure near enough everyone who likes his music will have his album by now or maybe people who have his album are still buying his singles

Posted by: Mart!n 1st May 2015, 02:15 PM

Sam Smith is also in the running to sing the James Bond theme to the new Bond movie later in the year. I must admit I do like Bond themes, but Sam Smith singing it could be a different matter, on the other hand Florence + The Machine could do even better if they are approached.

Cue more Sam Smith haters

Posted by: Mart!n 1st May 2015, 02:20 PM

#13 unlucky for some

Posted by: Joe. 1st May 2015, 02:22 PM

1989 will go up as it's 99p today.

Posted by: joeefoster 1st May 2015, 02:24 PM

Major Lazer's streaming power

Posted by: joyride 1st May 2015, 02:29 PM

Is Mariah still in top 100? Thanks

Posted by: iain 1st May 2015, 02:29 PM

Is the Sia album in the top 10?

Posted by: pippa 1st May 2015, 02:39 PM

I really hope Take That can stay top 40 on the album chart.

Posted by: Joe. 1st May 2015, 02:55 PM

Sia has fallen to #14. Nothing for Mariah in the top 40 which is all we have.

Posted by: JosephStyles 1st May 2015, 04:13 PM

Really?! Who on earth would buy a song they already own??

Let's remember that there are millions of people in the UK that don't own the album...

Posted by: T Boy 1st May 2015, 04:22 PM

Hadji

Posted by: ___∆___ 1st May 2015, 04:43 PM

I would doubt it to be honest it's fallen out of the Top 100 on iTunes and I doubt it's getting significant streams

Posted by: The Hit Parade 1st May 2015, 05:03 PM

Is he really "in the running" in any sense other than some newspapers have run stories saying that, just like they do about any British singer who has more than two hits?

Also, how are the Zac Brown Band suddenly Top 40 after not being in the Wednesday Top 100? It doesn't seem to have been a mid-week release.

Posted by: Dobbo 1st May 2015, 05:04 PM

Makes every sense for it to be him, proving Jameela's theory correct!

Posted by: steps 1st May 2015, 06:44 PM

It was released on Wednesday.

Posted by: Taylor Jago 1st May 2015, 07:12 PM

There's no chance than AronChupa drops out of the top 40 now. Oh well, hopefully it will only pollute the chart for a week before dropping out.

Posted by: stebags 1st May 2015, 07:38 PM

XCX at 23
Defo my favourite album of the year, so consistent.
Hope she improves on her dreadful sales by staying around a long time

Posted by: Šþinniŋğ Ŧř& 1st May 2015, 09:18 PM

Good point!

Posted by: ___∆___ 1st May 2015, 09:24 PM

I think it will disappear just as quickly as it arrived unfortunately, It was available for 99p for a day on Google Play. At least it's going to get another week in the Top 40 though.
