Any reason why The Eighties Album has been removed from iTunes?

Posted by: Steve201 6th January 2017, 11:07 PM

Gwan Sundara Karma!!

Think You me at 6 are already off the top spot which is surprising!!

Posted by: ___∆___ 7th January 2017, 05:35 PM

Universal seem really torn between making money or trying to get the #1 album officially The Pete Tong album keeps switching price between £4.99, £9.99 and £11.99 - It was #1 at £4.99 they increased to £9.99 and it dropped to #4 then increased again to £11.99 before it switched back to £4.99 and has climbed to #2

Posted by: ___∆___ 7th January 2017, 05:35 PM

Probably a licensing issue

Posted by: Hadji 7th January 2017, 06:11 PM

But yet they've kept the fifties, sixties and seventies albums on there

Posted by: ___∆___ 7th January 2017, 06:16 PM

But they have different songs on them? I'm guessing they didn't have the liscensing rights to 1 or more of the tracks on the 80s album so removed it until it's resolved or while they work on a re-issue with the offending track/s removed.

Posted by: Hadji 7th January 2017, 06:21 PM

I think it could be to do with the Prince song which is on there

Yes at The XX

Their last album debuted at #1 with 58,266 copies - they probably only need 20,000 this time to make it so should be an easy #1 for them hopefully.

Posted by: Steve201 13th January 2017, 10:42 AM

Didn't realise The XX sold so much in the first week last time though it may have been more hyped? Should be on for 25k at least this week!

Posted by: Hadji 13th January 2017, 02:42 PM

It's back on iTunes but two tracks have been replaced:

Prince - "When Doves Cry" with Kajagoogoo - "Too Shy"
Bee Gees - "You Win Again" with Roberta Flack - "Back Together Again"

Posted by: timjimlee 13th January 2017, 02:53 PM

Yes - the Reviews have been good as well. I agree it should get an easy number 1 this week, the question is whether it will be able to get a second week at the top as well (as I don't see much competition next week).

Posted by: timjimlee 13th January 2017, 03:07 PM

They are Tuesday so it will have some effect this week!

Really really hope it can go to #1 this week

Posted by: timjimlee 20th January 2017, 03:46 PM

Oh, great, thanks for the clarification - looking promising then!

Posted by: timjimlee 20th January 2017, 10:06 PM

Pete Tong back on top, looks like "The One Show" appearance has helped.

Posted by: Mart!n 20th January 2017, 10:15 PM

Ed Sheeran is on Graham Norton tonight

Posted by: Steve201 20th January 2017, 10:45 PM

Hope he performs Castle on the Hill!

Posted by: ___∆___ 21st January 2017, 02:12 AM

Just noticed he was back at the top - would love him to achieve a week at #1 officially. Tickets are already on sale for the next Classic House event in December so we could be seeing lots of space n offs from this.

Posted by: timjimlee 21st January 2017, 09:09 AM

I do think it is between Pete Tong & La La Land OST for the overall #1 this week - Pete Tong Album is down to £4.99 on Amazon as well, I think his record company sense this week could be his best chance.

Posted by: lewistgreen 22nd January 2017, 03:40 PM

The Shires on the up again thanks to a reduction to £3.99 for My Universe. Currently at #9

Excited to see Lucy so high considering there seems to have been minus zero promo/hype/exposure for this release. Hopefully she can snatch at least Top 30 officially.

Solid album too on first listen.

Lucy is coming for that 7-65-OUT chart run though

Posted by: vidcapper 2nd February 2017, 07:37 AM

I see the top 8 this morning are all by 'various artists' - I don't recall seeing that happening before.

Posted by: timjimlee 2nd February 2017, 04:36 PM

Yes, you are right although I suppose technically The La La Land Album is a Motion Picture Cast Recording even though it is listed as Various Artists.

Looking forward to them all being Elbow-ed down the chart tomorrow...

Posted by: ___∆___ 6th February 2017, 12:30 AM

I know I wanted ARTPOP to get a boost! But yes 'The Fame Monster' at #8 is a package of 'The Fame' and the standard version of 'The Fame Monster' which are lower down the charts.

Posted by: The Wise Sultan 6th February 2017, 03:29 PM

Haven't heard any of the re-interpretations, but since I love dance music with violin/strings, I definitely should see what they are like.

In the various artists ones 'I Love Trance' is still number 1, which is weird because there haven't been any trance top 40 hits around for the last 10 years or so. I am guessing it is older people who remember the trance era buying this one rather than the teenagers who usually buy music on iTunes. I suppose some of the tracks like 'You're Not Alone', 'Insomnia' and 'Sandstorm' are iconic and appeal to non trance fans. It's a great compilation album anyway.

Poor album release week, potentially 3 new albums, I think Rag'N'Bone Man will hold that #1 album till Ed Sheeran releases his new album in March.

Posted by: timjimlee 17th February 2017, 09:54 AM

Think you may be forgetting Stormzy's Album - released on the 24th February.

I agree re Rag 'N' Bone man holding on this week though. BRITS week is traditionally a week with no major releases although the fact that the ceremony is on Wednesday Evening reduces the impact on this week's chart.

Posted by: Mart!n 17th February 2017, 10:31 AM

I'm really not sure about his album, that music genre is not everyone's cup of tea, I maybe wrong.

I also think TT might get a week at #1, and get replaced by Ed Sheeran the week after, it really depends how well Ed Sheeran is selling into its third week.

Posted by: timjimlee 17th February 2017, 10:51 AM

I agree re TT, they should still be strong enough for a week - Q1 has been fairly strong for new Releases, James Blunt, Depeche Mode, Zara Larsson, Tinie Tempah & Paul Weller would probably challenge for the top spot if they had held back to Q2 or Q3 but they will probably all miss out.

Posted by: Herbs 17th February 2017, 12:57 PM

Great to see amy so high. Hopefully she will get a top 5 album

Posted by: The Hit Parade 17th February 2017, 04:40 PM

Paul Weller's album is just a soundtrack though, I think there's only one actual song on it.

Posted by: danG 17th February 2017, 05:05 PM

I'm 99% certain that Stormzy will get the #1 album. Everyone seems to underestimate him on BuzzJack simply because grime isn't that popular on online music forums, but he's got a big fanbase.

Posted by: ___∆___ 20th February 2017, 06:39 PM

43 Pet Shop Boys - Super

Pleased to see this clocking up a few extra sales! Not sure why it's suddenly returned but it's currently £4.99 so maybe that has helped?

Posted by: timjimlee 21st February 2017, 08:49 AM

They are in the middle of a mini Tour in the UK this week!

Posted by: timjimlee 21st February 2017, 10:22 PM

There is a "British Breakthrough Act" Award tomorrow night at the Brits for which Stormzy is nominated, given the Release date of the Album wouldn't be surprised if he wins (he has competition from Anne-Marie, Blossoms, Rag 'N' Bone Man & Skepta).

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 22nd February 2017, 07:23 AM

Yep, I saw them live in Leeds on Saturday!

Posted by: timjimlee 22nd February 2017, 04:32 PM

Seven tracks on the Album but the first song is a sprawling 21 minutes long, does sound more like a Soundtrack than a regular Album.
The Ballad of Jimmy McCabe’ is the song with Paul "in more familiar territory".
I would have thought there is still enough for Paul Weller fans to secure a Top 10 placing.

Posted by: ___∆___ 23rd February 2017, 12:43 AM

Some big movers due to the Brits -

3 The 1975 - I Like It When You Sleep...
5 George Michael - Ladies & Gentlemen

Up to 25 now for Blackstar, thoroughly deserving winner!

Posted by: timjimlee 24th February 2017, 01:49 PM

Unsurprisingly Stormzy has made it to the Top position on iTunes - also up to 4 on Amazon Best Sellers!
Rag 'N' Bone Man still selling well and will provide the main competition to Stormzy this week.

Posted by: Hadji 24th February 2017, 02:50 PM

Hope Stormzy can nab a week at the top of the album chart before the Ed dominance begins

Posted by: timjimlee 3rd March 2017, 11:28 PM

Clearly a foregone conclusion this week (and the next few weeks) so not going to be too much discussion but shout out to danG on his prediction for last week, close though.

Posted by: Mart!n 19th March 2017, 10:52 AM

Ed Sheeran will get the Mother's Day boost this week, I can see Drake entering at #3 behind Vera Lynn

Posted by: The Hit Parade 19th March 2017, 01:29 PM

And the Drake album is download-only isn't it? So that will concentrate its sales on downloads whereas Ed's are split over two download versions and the three physical formats.

Posted by: lewistgreen 19th March 2017, 01:48 PM

Wouldn't surprise me if Views starts to climb again off the back of More Life being released

Posted by: ___∆___ 20th March 2017, 12:08 PM

Big climb for this and expect to go higher with all the coverage around her 100th birthday - actually love seeing it do so well.

Posted by: 777666jason 20th March 2017, 02:09 PM

Yeah ed is 2 and 3 so if albums were combined he'd still be ahead

Posted by: ___∆___ 24th March 2017, 12:27 AM

Take That - Wonderland #4 & #30

Would be really surprised if they manage to overtake Ed - TT appeal to the Mothers Day buyers but I'm sure Ed will too and TT don't have a big single to help sell this album.

Posted by: timjimlee 24th March 2017, 11:39 AM

Yes, Take That still only at 3, doesn't look good for them overall although they will be strong with physical sales.

Any particular reason for these big jumps?

Posted by: timjimlee 3rd April 2017, 12:55 PM

Sgt Pepper is coming up to it's 50th birthday and has been in News due to a potential Re-release ( again? )
As reported over the weekend the Beatles appear to be planning to put out an expanded edition of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band on June 1, the 50th anniversary of its original release. While the news has yet to be made official, we’ve learned that Ringo Starr has heard it and is thrilled with the sound

Posted by: ben08 3rd April 2017, 03:52 PM

Tracks from Pepper are being featured on BBC Breakfast all this week to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its recording. A day in the life was featured twice this morning. You can find it http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b08l264q/breakfast-03042017 on the BBC iPlayer at 1:52 and at 2:55.

Should get three new Top 10 entries this week then~ with Kendrick comfortably taking #2, would be hugely impressed if he can beat Ed

Posted by: Regina 14th April 2017, 02:09 PM

Was a bit worried about John, this album has kinda gone under the radar here. Shame as it's winderful from start to finish.

Posted by: ♀mdh♀ 14th April 2017, 03:30 PM

I'd say John Mayer could challenge for top 5 tbh! I'm predicting...

#2 - Kendrick
#4 - Tinie
#5 - John Mayer

...as Tinie will probably have decent streaming behind him.

I need Steps to slay this, I might even buy a copy just to help them out!

Posted by: Regina 21st April 2017, 10:33 AM

What kind of pop slayage?!?!

Posted by: liamk97 21st April 2017, 10:47 AM

#2 on Amazon too, behind Now 96. They've had some solid promo this week and they are Album of the Week on Radio 2, so I suspect they'll have #2 on lock officially. I'd be absolutely thrilled if they managed #1 but, realistically, I don't think they stand a chance at achieving 60k+ on Week 1.

Posted by: cqmerqn 21st April 2017, 11:29 AM

#1 seems possible!

Posted by: PaulM1983 21st April 2017, 11:35 AM

Yeah number 1 isn't happening. Realistically they can easily get 30k, so number 2 should be on lock.

Posted by: Mart!n 21st April 2017, 11:36 AM

Posted by: Mart!n 5th May 2017, 06:45 PM

I think Kasabian could actually take the #1 album next week, Gorillaz sales ended up selling well for #2 album, also Ed Sheeran is slowly decreasing each week.

Posted by: Hadji 9th May 2017, 09:03 PM

What the hell has caused Divide to go back to #1?

Posted by: mdh 9th May 2017, 09:05 PM

Idk, the advert for the album is being re-shown regularly on TV so it could be that?

Posted by: cqmerqn 9th May 2017, 09:06 PM

Isn't he touring the UK atm>

Posted by: mdh 9th May 2017, 09:07 PM

Yeah probs that

Posted by: timjimlee 9th May 2017, 09:19 PM

U.K. Tour finished last Wednesday, it won't be that - suspect it is a combination of the adverts and the fact the other Albums are dropping at a faster rate.

Posted by: cqmerqn 9th May 2017, 09:21 PM

Oh, I doubt the compilation CD's aren't selling that much so yeah must be that then I guess.

Oasis on top with 'Time Flies... 1994-2009', it has been on the rise for a few weeks now but last night's Performance by Liam has obviously introduced Oasis to a new generation. Sets them up nicely for a reunion next year (after Noel and Liam's respective Albums are released this year).

Posted by: timjimlee 8th June 2017, 01:14 PM

Ed back on top with the Deluxe version of Divide, that's five Albums (that I can remember) that have been top at one stage or another this week, alt-J, Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande, Oasis and now Ed.
Add to that another two albums that have been at top of Amazon Best Sellers (ignoring the preorder Albums as well).

Ideally, London Grammar will beat Katy Perry to number 1 this week.

Posted by: timjimlee 9th June 2017, 02:11 PM

Yes, would be a shame for them if they are runners-up again (after they released their Debut Album in the same week as Arctic Monkeys' 'AM')

Posted by: UltraRedLight 10th June 2017, 12:03 PM

I can't see a Friday predictions thread but Katy is at #4 in the mid weeks and selling a third of London Grammer who are #1. Eek.

Posted by: timjimlee 10th June 2017, 12:11 PM

Great stuff, clear number 1 for London Grammar then.

I guess Royal Blood will probably be coming for the #1 this week then, still hope Lorde can at least outpeak 'Pure Heroine' if not reaching #2 - my hopes are a bit lower after how poorly 'Perfect Places' has done so far though.

I didn't realise Fleet Foxes' new album was out this week as well, another one I need to eventually check out ~

Posted by: cqmerqn 16th June 2017, 05:38 AM

Come on Lorde!

Posted by: Bjork 16th June 2017, 07:33 AM

thought Fleet Foxes would be higher :/

01. Lorde - Melodrama

Posted by: Brer 17th June 2017, 12:18 AM

Still says it's #2 for me.

Posted by: timjimlee 17th June 2017, 08:20 AM

Yes, Royal Blood on top still, think they will comfortably make it number 1 overall.

Posted by: cqmerqn 17th June 2017, 09:17 AM

Odd, must've been a glitch as I see her at #2 again now.

Posted by: smidsy101 22nd June 2017, 11:13 PM

23. Lady Antebellum - Heart Break



why on earth is this back up this high, pretty sure it plummeted down the charts after the first week, and rightly so given it's their weakest album since their debut

Posted by: timjimlee 24th June 2017, 07:16 AM

Imagine Dragons still top since yesterday morning but unsurprisingly Radiohead top on Amazon Best Sellers after last night's set, suspect we may see a fair big of changeover this week in both charts.

Posted by: cqmerqn 24th June 2017, 08:38 AM

Lorde holding up rather well

Posted by: timjimlee 24th June 2017, 11:13 AM

Currently at 13, a bit disappointing after a friday appearance at Glastonbury - will be touch and go whether stays Top 10 overall.
Royal Blood, Radiohead and Elbow showing massive gains after last night though.

Posted by: Mart!n 24th June 2017, 11:18 AM

I should imagine Ed Sheeran will be #1 in the albums after his performance tomorrow. Pardon the pun with the Imagine bit that was not intentionally.

Posted by: cqmerqn 24th June 2017, 12:29 PM

It wasn't aired on TV. She won't stay top 10 officially, no chance!

Posted by: timjimlee 24th June 2017, 01:03 PM

It was on the red button last night, is available on iPlayer and highlights shown also - but I think you are right, looking more like Top 15.

Posted by: cqmerqn 24th June 2017, 01:04 PM

I'd say low top 20 but I hope you're right

Posted by: BridgeCow 24th June 2017, 02:36 PM

Do Imagine Dragons have any chance of getting number 1 or even 2?

Posted by: cqmerqn 24th June 2017, 02:39 PM

They won't be #1 but it's hard to tell without any mids as of yet. I think they'll do ~25K

Posted by: timjimlee 24th June 2017, 09:22 PM

Changeover all ready, 'Now That's What I Call Summer Party 2017' top on iTunes and Royal Blood top on Amazon Best Sellers.
Foo Fighters next to top both charts?

Posted by: Shoutbox Mod™ 24th June 2017, 11:33 PM

133. Tove Lo - Lady Wood

Slayin

Posted by: timjimlee 25th June 2017, 07:36 AM

Another Glastonbury boost (and rare UK dates this week).

Foo Fighters have made it to top with their 'Greatest Hits'. Wonder whether it can stay there until Ed's set

Posted by: Shoutbox Mod™ 25th June 2017, 08:54 AM

Was Tove aired on TV?

Posted by: timjimlee 25th June 2017, 09:23 AM

Similar story to Lorde, it was on the red button last night and 45 minute show is available on iPlayer.

Posted by: timjimlee 26th June 2017, 08:28 AM

Ed possibly didn't get the boost we were all expecting, he has climbed to #2 but the Foo Fighters are remaining firm at the top (at the moment).

Six songs from Foo Fighters' Greatest Hits Album in the iTunes top 100 also suggests they had the biggest Glastonbury impact this weekend.

Hope Tyler, The Creator's new album can be a first top 15 if not top 10 for him after the last two just missed out. 'Who Dat Boy' is an absolute tune (and he's got some media attention for coming out of the closet on this album ;o)

Hybrid Theory could well be coming for a new peak, only got to #4 before! Hoping it can somehow get to #1. Although would also love Lana to get another #1.

Posted by: Herbs 28th July 2017, 01:43 PM

Yeah it is a shame as he has had many singles that were just as good. He is now up to number 3, which is good for an album only announced on Wednesday and not available in shops

Kesha shouldn't need to do much to beat the 60-something peak of Warrior then i reckon #2 is plausible, either her or Glen Campbell. a few smaller releases that should make an impact the Top 10/20; Richard Thompson, The Cribs, Martine McCutcheon, Rat Boy, Chip

Posted by: cqmerqn 10th August 2017, 08:50 PM

Surely Kesha is headed for an easy #1

Posted by: SevenSees 10th August 2017, 08:55 PM

It could happen, she'll need about 15k at least to manage #1!

Posted by: cqmerqn 10th August 2017, 09:29 PM

She'll do that with ease

I forgot just how low Ke$ha's second album charted here... I guess because it was a December release more than anything else.

8-60-1 would be quite a strange trajectory for her albums (well, anywhere in the top 5 for this one would be really). I could see it happening though. 'Praying' seems to have been well-received and all, plus sales will obviously be very low. Think she'll be at least top 3 pretty easily, maybe behind Glen and/or Ed.

Wildwood Kin – Turning Tides

A few new Top 10 entries to come from there, Steven Wilson and Everything Everything are highest on the Amazon charts with Neck Deep and Chase & Status doing best on iTunes (based on their 'bestselling pre-orders' page anyway). Can't see any of them managing particularly big sales so Ed will likely take the #1 again

Wow, I really wouldn't have predicted BROCKHAMPTON charting this highly already - the first 'SATURATION' album never went anywhere near the top 100 IIRC! Please let this be the start of a proper mainstream breakthrough for them *.* (this to make official top 100 this week pls x)

They already announced a third edition of the series coming out before the end of the year as well.

The National look like possibly the biggest contenders for #1, their last album opened on over 20k, i could see them either *just* getting there or just missing out to Ed. Nothing But Thieves should notch a Top 5 place along with Neil Young!

also go Susanne Sundfor! shall be giving that a spin as the two tracks i've heard are really good <3

Posted by: liamk97 15th September 2017, 10:05 AM

Will be nice to see some really good sales at #1 again - Foo Fighters seem pretty certain to pass Silver certification in their first week. Same goes for The Killers the following week. After that, I imagine the main contenders for #1 will go Shania Twain -> Liam Gallagher -> P!nk -> Niall Horan -> Michael Ball & Alfie Boe -> Sam Smith -> Taylor Swift, so lots of high sales on the horizon.

Posted by: timjimlee 15th September 2017, 10:32 AM

Agree with most of those weeks except maybe Stereophonics beating Michael Ball & Alfie Boe on release week (over Christmas period M.B. & A.B. should get a week at #1 though).
Also not completely sure about Niall Horan making it to #1 Album, George Michael re-release should do well but indeed looks a week where lower Sales may be enough.

Posted by: liamk97 15th September 2017, 10:40 AM

Yeah, I was a bit unsure who'd come out on top between Michael/Alfie and Stereophonics, but Stereophonics opened with 45k with their last album and I think, following the success of their collaboration last year, Michael/Alfie will receive good first week sales, as well as selling well over Christmas.

George Michael will do well but I can see Niall's album appealing to people of all ages which I think will give him the advantage.

Posted by: Mart!n 15th September 2017, 10:55 AM

I wouldn't be surprised Alexander Armstrong with the RPO album might do the business as well, he practically falls with Michael Buble / Michael Ball & Alfie Boe bracket, with the older generation picking Alexander's album up.

Joanne received a boost when the Netflix documentary premiered but has been climbing ever since. It's been gaining a lot of media attention this past week which is why it's still climbing. It didn't just suddenly jump to #15 out of nowhere today.

I'd be ecstatic if Betsy could go top 40, but we're probably looking at top 75 given how busy the week is. Honestly couldn't say if Shania or Wolf Alice will be number one, but Miley and Demi should be in the mix somewhere between #3 and #7, with Ed, Foo and Killers making up the numbers by the end of the week.

Posted by: timjimlee 29th September 2017, 09:07 AM

Yes, definitely shaping up to be one of the more unpredictable weeks, one of those weeks where the Albums doing well on iTunes are not at the very top of the Amazon Best Sellers.
I agree it is looking like a Shania/Wolf Alice 1-2 though. Benny Andersson's Album seems to have got a fair bit of momentum from his TV appearance this week and should make Top 10.

Posted by: liamk97 29th September 2017, 11:25 AM

Surprised Shania isn't doing better on Amazon but reaching the Top 3 on iTunes is great for her. Still think she's likely to be #1 officially as she had been performing the best on pre-orders and has had good Radio 2 support.

Potentially a few solid new entries to the Top 10 this week!

Posted by: Herbs 29th September 2017, 11:43 AM

Really hope Hurts do ok this week. The last album debuted at number 12 but fell out of the top 100 in week two

Posted by: timjimlee 29th September 2017, 12:30 PM

Price has all ready been reduced to £7.99, suspect it could be one compilation too many for some fans |

Posted by: thecarterfilez 29th September 2017, 12:45 PM

Wouldn't Demi/Miley have a edge on Shania/Wolf with streaming ?

Posted by: liamk97 29th September 2017, 12:51 PM

Probably, but I feel like the pure sales of Wolf Alice and Shania will be a lot better. I can't see Miley nor Demi receiving more than 2k from streams.

Posted by: danG 29th September 2017, 01:16 PM

Wolf Alice are the type of band to get quite a few week one album streams I think, Miley/Demi won't have that much of an advantage.

Posted by: 777666jason 29th September 2017, 04:32 PM

Miley and demi to both do well hopefully both go top 10

Posted by: Mart!n 30th September 2017, 09:04 AM

I think Shania has more chance of getting the #1 album, Wolf Alice don't have the fanbase like the Killers and The Foo Fighters I would imagine, I can't see them selling more than 38k, maybe I'm wrong. Foo Fighters will probably stick around inside the top 5 maybe, there was a special 2 hours of Jools Holland last night from midnight till 2 in the morning, saying that I don't think that would generate that much of viewers at that time of the night, Foo Fighters and Van Morrison were featured apparently.

Miley & Demi I would say towards the bottom end of the top 10, 6/7 and 7/8 ish. Michael Jackson's album could be anywhere I suppose, probably just miss out on a top 10 position.

Posted by: timjimlee 30th September 2017, 09:30 AM

Wolf Alice's Debut Album ('My Love Is Cool') opened at #2 in 2015 with Sales of 13,891, I think they should exceed that number this time and that will be enough to (at least) beat Ed's Sales. Shania's Sales are hard to predict given she hasn't released a Studio Album for 15 years but in the past she has been able to count on huge Album Sales, this time though the Reviews have not been too kind however she should still get enough Sales for #1 surely.

Posted by: The Hit Parade 30th September 2017, 12:21 PM

I think Wolf Alice can do it because they're likely to have more "urgent" buyers who'll want to grab the album in release week. Whilst Shania obviously has plenty of fans I reckon they were a relatively small set of her total audience and of course her huge sales were in the days when more people bought albums generally so it's very hard to guess what she'll do this time.

By the way, is there a deluxe of the Wolf Alice album? I saw two versions with different covers but no tracklisting in HMV.

Posted by: timjimlee 2nd October 2017, 09:53 PM

"Greatest Hits" by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers starting to climb at a fast rate after the awful news of Tom Petty's passing.
May be yet another new/re-entry in Top 20 overall this week (previously peaked at #18).
"Full Moon Fever" likely to show greatest increase in Sales as well.

Posted by: George.keh 4th October 2017, 06:58 AM

Where’s Michael Buble at this stage?

Posted by: timjimlee 4th October 2017, 09:17 AM

Physically I am sure he is in Vancouver where he lives.

In terms of Album progress,

573. To be Loved - Michael Bublé
1049. Christmas (Deluxe Special Edition) - Michael Bublé

I am hoping that his Christmas Album gets overshadowed by Sia's Christmas Release this year.

Btw it is pleasing to see Dire Straits' 'Brothers In Arms' doing so well at the moment (currently #47), I suppose this is on the back of Mark Knopfler's appearance on The Killers Album?

Posted by: DANKENSTEIN 4th October 2017, 09:29 AM

Good luck with that lol, Michael Bublé is synonymous with Christmas now, I really don't see the popularity of his Christmas album fading anytime soon.

I'm surprised he hasn't put out a sequel yet, perhaps this or next year?

Posted by: Steve201 4th October 2017, 10:36 AM

He already re-released it with more songs the following year so can't see him releasing another one until later in his career. Will be interesting to see how it fades over the next 5-10 years!

Posted by: timjimlee 4th October 2017, 01:32 PM

Unfortunately last year showed an improvement in it's fortunes from previous year, the increasing influence of streaming on the Album market will probably guarantee a Top 10 peak each year for a few years yet!

2011 peaked at #1 (11 weeks)
2012 peaked at #2 (6 weeks)
2013 peaked at #7 (8 weeks)
2014 peaked at #7 (8 weeks)
2015 peaked at #12 (9 weeks)
2016 peaked at #6 (10 weeks)

Posted by: DANKENSTEIN 4th October 2017, 01:58 PM

His album streams in Christmas week will be insane. I would have predicted him to get about 5-7 songs in the chart if it weren't for the artist cap coming in. Last year he had three, 'It's Beginning To Look..' (#27), 'Santa Claus Is Coming..' (#98) and 'Holly Jolly Christmas' (#100)

Should be an easy #1 for Liam Gallagher... although an Elvis/RPO Christmas album could do well in coming weeks.

Posted by: 🎄cqmerqn🎄 6th October 2017, 11:00 PM

I don’t know what to expect for Liam Gallagher.

I feel like it’ll either sell 20k or 100k

Posted by: Doctor Blind 7th October 2017, 10:46 AM

Looks like it'll be the latter going by today's midweek sales flash!

Posted by: timjimlee 7th October 2017, 03:17 PM

Do we have a total? Mint Royale has tweeted that Liam's Sales are about a Quarter of Ed's first day Sales which were 232k so that would probably put Liam in the range 50k-58k ? Doubt Liam will make 100k but decent Sales nonetheless.

Why have a bunch of George Michael's albums reappeared in the upper part of the chart?

Posted by: timjimlee 18th October 2017, 03:35 PM

Monday Night's Tribute Documentary on Channel 4 was very well received by fans.

"Listen Without Prejudice" is getting a re-release on Friday, definitely think it will go Top 5.

Posted by: cqmerqn 19th October 2017, 10:05 PM

Big week in the albums. Niall Horan and Jessie Ware should both clear 30k

Posted by: Steve201 19th October 2017, 10:10 PM

What did Jessie do with the last release? Niall should really break 60k as a big pop star with a fair few releases prior to release!

Posted by: cqmerqn 19th October 2017, 10:15 PM

No idea, don’t know where to look for her opening sales for previous albums. There seems to be more hype this time around. Alone is top 40 and she has multiple signings this week, as well as limited editions on her website so...

Posted by: Steve201 19th October 2017, 10:20 PM

She is a big artist and I love her but compared to Pink/Taylor I can't imagine her doing more than 25k?

Posted by: timjimlee 19th October 2017, 10:31 PM

Jessie Ware won't come close, last Album 'Tough Love' opened in Oct 2014 (at #9) with Sales of 10,684.
Suspect the reissue from George Michael (and possibly The Smiths) will outperform her Album.
Definitely an under-appreciated Artist.

Posted by: Steve201 19th October 2017, 10:34 PM

Krept & Konan have climbed over Niall

Posted by: timjimlee 20th October 2017, 09:01 AM

Niall still showing ahead on my iTunes - also the fact his Album is £11.99 and Krept & Konan's Albums are £4.99 may influence first week's Sales.

Posted by: Ryaner93 20th October 2017, 05:06 PM

60? No he shouldn't/won't. George Michael will be no1 the record company left that doc that was supposed to air earlier til this week to use it for sales, the whole thing of re releasing albums for money after and artist has dies leaves me cold really

Posted by: Steve201 20th October 2017, 06:23 PM

They've left it a bit anyway, thought it would have been released in Jan!

Posted by: The Hit Parade 20th October 2017, 06:53 PM

The album was supposed to be re-released last year while he was still alive, but it was postponed because the documentary wasn't finished. And then obviously postponed again when he died.

Steps reissue is at number 4! Behind Stereophonics, Gregory Porter and Kelly Clarkson

Posted by: timjimlee 27th October 2017, 08:58 AM

Hoping Stereophonics can get their seventh #1 Album overall this week. Ball & Boe Album may steal the top spot though especially as they have a TV special lined up on ITV on Sunday night.
I am surprised to see the Gregory Porter Album above B&B on iTunes and Amazon so far and had really overlooked that one, it looks like it might debut at #3.
If the top 3 are all new entries then it could spell the end of Ed Sheeran's run in Top 5 with George Michael and Pink likely to stay high.

I'm anticipating Gregory Porter to be #1 upon the Monday update with Michael/Alfie overtaking afterwards thanks to their ITV show on Sunday.

Posted by: timjimlee 27th October 2017, 12:31 PM

Not technically related to iTunes chart but I see Morrissey has ensured his Album is top of Amazon Best sellers with fans given the chance to access an exclusive 24 hour sale window for Tour tickets if they purchase his new album ‘Low In High School’ before midnight on Sunday.
Album is not released until 17th November. Not sure I have seen this Release strategy before.

Posted by: timjimlee 27th October 2017, 12:51 PM

Gregory Porter's last Album opened last year in May with just over 19k, Stereophonics opened in 2015 with nearly 45k, I anticipate Stereophonics will keep a healthy advantage.

Posted by: gavindeejay 29th October 2017, 11:30 AM

I’ll put this here as there’s no Friday prediction thread as yet, but Minty has been tweeting:-

“There’s a lot of people buying the Sterophonics album this week. Who knew!”.

Someone asked is it more than Ball & Boe? Minty replied with “Lots More”.

When asked about Steps, his reply was “Possibly Top 5”.

In another tweet he said “It’s a very Christmas present sort of album chart this week“.

Posted by: Steve201 29th October 2017, 10:59 PM

Stereophonics will be on 18k or something tomorrow and Ball/Boe should overtake by Friday!

Posted by: timjimlee 30th October 2017, 06:19 PM

Sales for Stereophonics Album are consistent with previous Album so far. After TV Special Ball & Boe Album still behind Stereophonics on iTunes but on Amazon sales have been given a massive boost (currently #1 for regular edition and #5 for deluxe edition). Pricing for the 2 editions seems a bit high though (£11 for regular and £15.16 for deluxe CDs) and some fans may wait a few weeks to purchase, hope so.

Posted by: timjimlee 31st October 2017, 01:24 PM

1 Chris Brown - Heartbreak On A Full Moon

Omg wasn't expecting Kelsea to get that high on iTunes! <3

Posted by: smidsy101 3rd November 2017, 04:26 PM

I too am (pleasantly) surprised that Kelsea is doing as well as she is, I thought she'd be around the 40's by the point.

I'm intrigued to see how Maroon 5 will do over the course of the week. The singles have done fairly well but the album overall is very bland and they don't really seem to have a huge fanbase. 'V' debuted at #4 with 16,917 in September 2014, but went on to sell over 200,000. I'd be surprised if this held up anywhere near as well.

Emeli Sande's new EP at #31. It has 6 tracks and a run time of 26:30 so should be chart eligible, though the fact it's download only should stop it from debuting anywhere near the top 40

Posted by: Steve201 3rd November 2017, 08:15 PM

Thought Sam would have been no1&2!

Posted by: Brébino 3rd November 2017, 08:25 PM

Maroon 5 to flop tho pls

Posted by: timjimlee 10th November 2017, 07:44 AM

Sam Smith still number 1 is a bit of a Surprise given the prominent banner for 'reputation', likely to be overtaken any time soon I guess.

Also surprising to see Shed Seven at #4, their first Studio Album in 16 years. Other new entries in Top 10 are by Artists that are not exactly prolific, Evanescence (#3), Tears For Fears (#7) and The Corrs (#8).

Seems a bit odd that the latest Elvis (Christmas) compilation is not even in the Top 1500, may be it was made unavailable for a while in readiness for the Deluxe Edition Release on the 24th.
Somehow it is still on course for a Top 100 placing this week though (presumably on CD sales and strong streaming) - held on last week (just) at #100.

the story makes no sense, 800,000 people tried buying it during the first 6 minutes, why didn't they pre-order if they're such big fans
sounds like made-up data to me

Posted by: 777666jason 10th November 2017, 02:40 PM

In guessing some of those 800k are the preorders because you can't download it till its released (auto download) preordered or not and earlier reports were at 400k preorders earlier in the week

Posted by: danVember 10th November 2017, 02:43 PM

that 800k figure probably includes all the pre-order sales.

Most that buy now series are physicals

Posted by: timjimlee 18th November 2017, 09:00 AM

So in the absence of an Eminem release (so far) this week is shaping up as wide open in the Album chart, couldn't call it at the moment.

Will be good to see 'In Winter' by Katie Melua continue to rise again this year, #161 on iTunes seems a bit low at this point but selling more as a physical.

Posted by: Bjork 18th November 2017, 09:11 AM

think eminem could still release, he's performing on SNL tonight, right? could release it afterwards
or maybe he'll wait til Black Friday?

Posted by: timjimlee 18th November 2017, 09:41 AM

Yes, I agree - it does seem a bit odd though there is no Major International Release this week given it is surely one of the biggest Release weeks of the year (for Albums).

Incidentally I am assuming Morrissey's Album is eligible for the Charts this week? There was a massive spike in Sales for the Album during the period when Amazon customers could pre-order to receive exclusive access to tickets for the UK tour before they went on general sale to the public. I guess this wouldn't affect eligibility but still Morrissey will struggle to push 25k Sales.
Paloma's Album a little harder to call, seems to be slightly underperforming but 30k may be enough this week. If it can't make that total then likely to be a return to top for someone.

Not sure if Noel's album is going to break 100k like I was initially expecting, not if Sam and Taylor's albums couldn't make it and Liam's wasn't that far over the mark (his album felt much more anticipated). Looking forward to what the album has to offer.

Posted by: Brébino 24th November 2017, 01:28 AM

Noel/Little Mix for the top 2 this week maybe? Although idk if this LM rerelease is really publicised enough to get that high (what with it not really having a proper lead single yet). Matt Terry possibly scraping the top 10 if he's lucky I guess. André Rieu back again *. the first time since 2011 that he didn't have any other chart entries during the year aside from the 'big' Q4 release though, poor guy.

I'd be surprised if Noel breaks 100k this time but hopefully he'll not be too far off.

Posted by: timjimlee 24th November 2017, 10:27 AM

Likely to be a few boosts this week for Albums reduced for Black Friday. Just got the CD of "Twelve Tales Of Christmas" from Tom Chaplin on Amazon for £4.99, it was only released last week so an absolute bargain. Sia's Christmas Album £7.99 so will hopefully stabilize in the Official Chart before rising in the run-in to Christmas.

Posted by: Bjork 24th November 2017, 11:20 AM

I really don't get why LM didn't have a proper single to push the re-issue, they could have grabbed another hit (even a #1) and
also pushed the album sales further, wasted opportunity

Posted by: Steve201 25th November 2017, 08:37 AM

Is the LM release combined with the old version I take?

U2's last conventionally released Studio Album (ie not the debacle with Songs Of Innocence) opened in February 2009 with Sales of 157,926 , I know it was a while ago but I will be surprised if they don't get at least half of that number , Sam Smith to stay at #2 for me but will undoubtedly get a big boost this week to push it above 50k.

Yeah, I'd expect U2 will get the #1 then fall heavily next week.

Posted by: timjimlee 1st December 2017, 11:37 AM

1 U2 - Songs of Experience (Deluxe Edition) [also #13 for Regular Edition]

Looks like Bublé has received a December boost :

10 Michael Bublé - Christmas (Deluxe Special Edition)

It is definitely going to make the Top #5 overall this year at some point. I find it surprising it is #10 on iTunes at £9.99 when you can get the CD (and digital copy as well) for £5 on Amazon.

Yeh you could be right, hopefully like as I don't mind them although people seem not to like them these days - Bono especillay!

50k would be good for them. They have a evening with the BBC on the 17th too so could boost them!!

Posted by: timjimlee 2nd December 2017, 11:38 AM

It is true that U2's Album is not holding up too great, out of Top 20 Amazon Best Sellers all ready and knocked off top spot on iTunes unsurprisingly by 'Now That's What I Call Christmas'. They may need some promo before the 17th...

Posted by: ChristmasEve201 2nd December 2017, 11:47 AM

Yeh I think my 40k prediction may be right or too much. Preorders will be big but it'll slow through the week!

Posted by: timjimlee 4th December 2017, 11:05 AM

P!nk seems to be the main winner after the weekend Promo although she was on BBC and ITV, she is currently at #3 (with 'Beautiful Trauma') behind the two Now Albums.

Midge Ure's 'Orchestrated' seems to be holding up a lot better than expected, still at #11 is a surprise to me.

What caused Paloma’s big climb this morning? Back in the iTunes top 10

Posted by: timjimlee 8th December 2017, 01:56 PM

She performed live on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show this morning.

Thanks! Will check this out later seemed like it was a good performance by the Twitter response.

Sam Smith down at #15 in both iTunes and Amazon Album Charts, he clearly needs the Promo on "The Graham Norton Show" tonight but it won't be enough to overhaul Ed (and may be Eminem ?).

NERD heading for a criminally low debut!!

Posted by: timjimlee 20th December 2017, 10:36 AM

The Critics Faves (based on End Of Year Lists) ready to improve their position as we approach NYE and into New Year:

93. Lorde - Melodrama
163. LCD Soundsystem - American Dream
235. Kendrick Lamar - DAMN.
250. The War On Drugs - A Deeper Understanding
320. The National - Sleep Well Beast
336. SZA - Ctrl
466. St. Vincent - MASSEDUCATION

Decent peaks for most of these but criminally under-performed in terms of sales.
Oh - and couldn't even see Björk's Utopia in Top 1000, not sure how that one could be so overlooked given it was an improvement on her previous Album.

Posted by: ChristmasEve201 20th December 2017, 09:03 PM

Have all of the above apart from SZA and The National (which reached no1 I think?)!

Posted by: ChristmasEve201 20th December 2017, 09:03 PM

Any boost for U2 from last nights special?

Posted by: timjimlee 21st December 2017, 08:49 AM

Yes, I guess The National will be one of the lowest selling #1 Albums of the year (along with The Vamps, Queens Of The Stone Age and Shania Twain).



Impact may have peaked but there are still a few Albums that have improved their Sales including in the Top 200:

13. U2 - Songs Of Experience (Deluxe Edition)
62. U2 - Songs Of Experience
78. U2 - U218 Singles (Deluxe Version)
98. U2 - The Joshua Tree
149. U2 - The Best of 1980-1990
196. U2 - U218 Singles

Nothing special then for the new album which is disappointing, may Rise after xmas as a lot of MOR albums fall away.

Posted by: ChristmasEve201 21st December 2017, 08:59 AM

Didn't QOTSA sell 35k? Thought that was decent for the period it was released!!

Posted by: timjimlee 21st December 2017, 09:27 AM

Yes, a decent 32k and sales will probably be enough for a place in Top 100 of Y/E Sales (although last year #100 needed 71.5k, I suppose that will be less this year though).

Posted by: ChristmasEve201 21st December 2017, 11:35 AM

Its not too bad then and the first week was slightly above average for the year I would say discounting the obv Eds etc.

Posted by: timjimlee 23rd December 2017, 10:53 AM

8. Tom Chaplin - Twelve Tales Of Christmas

Would be nice to see this get a Top 20 peak (overall) this week after it previously peaked at #21. Doubt it but nice boost after his appearance on 'The Graham Norton Show'.

Posted by: ChristmasEve201 23rd December 2017, 02:47 PM

Yeh the single is top 50 on iTunes - I love the Sia album more but Toms is very good, except for the covers of Stay another Day and 2000 Miles!

Posted by: Jordan Lee 23rd December 2017, 05:39 PM

Taylor being £6.99 is a good tactic in order to keep her album selling. I have a feeling she'll get a good gift card effect alongside Little Mix as well who I imagine will rise on the iTunes charts come Christmas Day.

Now Xmas album still #6

Posted by: timjimlee 28th December 2017, 10:15 AM

Noticed 'Greatest Hits II' by Queen has been significantly higher (#56) than 'Greatest Hits' by Queen (#109) this Christmas when for the rest of the year it is the other way round, guess it is a pricing thing.

Posted by: timjimlee 29th December 2017, 02:36 PM

All making decent progress (apart from LCD Soundsystem):

50. Lorde - Melodrama ( 43 places )
97. Kendrick Lamar - DAMN. ( 138 places )
125. The War On Drugs - A Deeper Understanding ( 125 places )
128. St. Vincent - MASSEDUCATION ( 338 places )
178. LCD Soundsystem - American Dream (down 15 places)
260. The National - Sleep Well Beast ( 60 places )
302. SZA - Ctrl ( 34 places )

Suspect majority will continue to rise into New Year when there is more appetite for new music.

Posted by: ChristmasEve201 29th December 2017, 07:34 PM

Some great albums there - have Lorde/LCD Soundsystem/St Vincent/Kendrick/War on drugs!
