Sunday Chart Predictions
Predicting the 24/05 to 30/05 chart



Taylor's star-studded video to have the desired effect?
Despite being 13k behind on sales, OMI's 'Cheerleader' managed to remain at #1 for a third week thanks to a bonus 31k worth of streams, meaning LunchMoney Lewis had to debut at #2 with 'Bills'. Ella Eyre should manage to take advantage of a quite release schedule and earn her first solo Top 10 with 'Together', whilst other new entries to the Top 40 should include Sheppard's 'Geronimo', Ne-Yo's 'She Knows' and Wilkinson's 'Hopelessly Coping'. Also, following the release of its star-studded video, Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood' should end up with a high debut this week. Other new entries may include soundtrack songs from Sia and Jessie J, plus YouTuber Andie Case with her mashup cover of 'Want To Want Me/I Want You To Want Me'.

Aiming to hit the #1 spot are both Brandon Flowers (lead of The Killers) and Paul Weller (former lead of The Jam) with their new albums The Desired Effect and Saturns Pattern. Entering the Top 20 may be Faith No More's Sol Invictus, Hot Chip's Why Make Sense?, Mariah Carey's #1 to Infinity and twenty one pilots' Blurryface, whilst other new entries should come from last year's Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst, Shamir and Whitesnake. Radio 1's Big Weekend should give some acts a last minute boost so expect big changes from the Friday mids.

========================================================

Please note new changes to the Sunday Chart Predictions thread topic:

Brandon should easily take the albums but you can't underestimate aul Weller usually sells a lot of CDs! What did his last album start with?

Posted by: liamk97 18th May 2015, 11:35 PM

Weller managed 14,953 on the Tuesday mids and finished with 30,269. I can't see his album quite managing that again but I'd say 20k+ was at least for sure.

Posted by: mrbrightside 18th May 2015, 11:38 PM

Weller's last album got to number one on sales of 30k in 2012

Brandon managed 65k first week sales in 2010

So fingers crossed for Brandon

Posted by: Hazza Chapman 18th May 2015, 11:45 PM

OMI will be top of the chart for the final time (ever possibly? #onehitwonder) this week.

Posted by: ___∆___ 19th May 2015, 12:03 AM

Taylor Swift to be a suprise #1 this week please - Slaying all the competition and snatching weave from Jessie J, Ella Eyre, Carley Rae and Iggy on her way to the top

Posted by: steve201 19th May 2015, 08:43 AM

Could be close enough - 20k for Weller isnt at all bad and Brandon should do 30k!

Posted by: truly talented 19th May 2015, 08:49 AM

I think Brandon will do more than 30k. I've read nothing but positives about this album, a huge improvement on his last album.

Posted by: Eric_Blob 19th May 2015, 08:54 AM

Taylor Swift doesn't stand a chance at #1. I think she'll be top 20 (but maybe #1 in the US in the next couple of weeks but they include Youtube streaming there). Omi will be #1. It's a great song but I'm surprised it's so successful in the charts.

Posted by: Mart!n 19th May 2015, 09:20 AM

I was really expecting LunchMoney Lewis to grab a week but I can't see that happening now, looks like Omi will take it. Taylor is probably looking like top 15 by the end of the week, once all the sales are in at the end of the week. Hoping Ella gets a top 10 hit, just got that niggling feeling she might end up at #11. Hopefully she be at least top 4 in the mids today, fingers cross, that should keep her in the top 10.

And don't forget Mint Royale (Twitter) is your best friend after 11am, as I have errands to do this morning.

Posted by: Joe. 19th May 2015, 09:51 AM

Curious to how well Faith No More do with their new album

Posted by: Mart!n 19th May 2015, 10:59 AM

Mariah Carey is #10 in the albums

Posted by: ___∆___ 19th May 2015, 12:02 PM

at Conchita getting that Top 100 album smash! I know sales are low but I wasn't expecting her to be anywhere in the Top 100 on the first update.

Posted by: Jay ジ 19th May 2015, 12:21 PM

*.* I suppose it'll fall, but that's higher than I expected for it.

Posted by: Šþinniŋğ Ŧř& 19th May 2015, 12:29 PM

Adding to the fact that it was only a hit because of Felix Jahn much like MK's remix of Look Right Through by Storm Queen. Then again he could be another Mr Probz, but saying that his follow ups haven't done a great too well

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 19th May 2015, 03:32 PM

Oosh amazing start
And that's without any remix sales and the originals climbed a lot today- what a start

Posted by: Heathyheath_ 19th May 2015, 03:44 PM

I think come the end of the week Taylor will be comfortably in the top 10, which could be bad news for Ella Eyre.

It's such a shame Taylor can't make up with Spotify though, I'm convinced Bad Blood could easily have involved itself in the fight for number one this week if Taylor had the benefit of steaming sales

Posted by: omrimayo 19th May 2015, 03:47 PM

This. Shoe would have been number 1 this week for. Sure.

Posted by: Rob Eyrenimo 19th May 2015, 04:22 PM

As much as I like Taylor and would want her to return to the top 10 i really hope it's not at the expense of Ella who badly needs a top 10 hit on her own. she's been unlucky twice already and it would be frustrating on a dead week and a fresh Taylor track racing up for her to suddenly miss out once again

Posted by: Kath ♡ 19th May 2015, 04:40 PM

Where is Tove Lo?

Posted by: liamk97 19th May 2015, 04:57 PM

We haven't got full mids yet, the only info is that which Mint Royale tweets. But I'll let you know the position if we do get mids, although they're not guaranteed.

Posted by: girl_from_oz 19th May 2015, 05:45 PM

I love Taylor but Bad Blood is such an average song, only doing so well because of the video

Posted by: Rob Eyrenimo 19th May 2015, 10:20 PM

Ooh that's good for Sheppard. Gives me hope it may just make it Sunday depending on how it holds up on iTunes and yay for Ella too. Looks to me like she'll make the top 10 now

Posted by: Aphrodite 19th May 2015, 11:30 PM

Good start for Brandon Flowers, i hope he. holds the number 1 and can keep Paul Weller off, Brandons album is brilliant.

Could i ask for Take Thats position in the album chart?

Posted by: Jonjo 19th May 2015, 11:35 PM

COME ON BRANDON! YES! <3

Also great to see S Club in the top 40! Ella inside the top 5 is amazing to see. I think she'll end up at #9 or 10 by the end of the week, but I'll take that, for sure!

Posted by: vidcapper 20th May 2015, 06:17 AM

If Weller wasn't ahead initially, he has no chance of #1, as his sales are massively front-loaded.

Posted by: Joe. 20th May 2015, 06:31 AM

These days - 98
III - 30

Posted by: Šþinniŋğ Ŧř& 20th May 2015, 06:50 AM

Hopefully Bills is very popular on Amazon
Good to see Ella and Galantis high!
Don't really want Hey Mama to go any higher really. Not when amazing tracks like Just One Last Time and I Can Only Imagine peaked lower

Posted by: monai 20th May 2015, 07:05 AM

Any updates for the prodigy?thanks

Posted by: Joe. 20th May 2015, 07:50 AM

It was at #50 yesterday.

More midweeks coming today though guys!

Posted by: Mart!n 20th May 2015, 09:38 AM

We most likely won't get a chart show from Radio 1 on Sunday this weekend, its not even on their schedule due to the Big Weekend concert at Norwich.

With the chart move to Fridays from July, its a blessing in disguise as the big weekend or teen awards won't interrupt it!

Posted by: Scrub 20th May 2015, 11:39 AM

Noel?

And I'd love to see Weller getting another number one album,but I'm okay with Brandon as well

Posted by: Mart!n 20th May 2015, 11:48 AM

Don't forget guys if you ask for any requests, these positions are likely to change later on this afternoon, you might as well wait it out until than, full charts will be available on the OCC site, unless top 5 sales get dropped early.

Posted by: Šþinniŋğ Ŧř& 20th May 2015, 12:01 PM

Bad Blood at ten according to Mint Royale: https://twitter.com/MintRoyale/status/600989158174236672

Posted by: ___∆___ 20th May 2015, 12:04 PM

Hefty 17 place climb on yesterday

Posted by: Šþinniŋğ Ŧř& 20th May 2015, 12:55 PM

Watch Taylor miss the top 15 after streaming by Sunday

...

Posted by: Joe. 20th May 2015, 12:56 PM

Very unlikely. I can't see her charting lower than #10 at this point.

Posted by: ¡bré! 20th May 2015, 01:00 PM

I don't get why people are expecting Taylor to be THAT low when she's comfortably #1 (combined) on iTunes. The songs that have been top 5 on sales but not top 10 overall weren't particularly comfortably top 5 on sales to begin with. Taylor will be.

Posted by: Hadji 20th May 2015, 01:13 PM

She'll be either top 15 or top 20 come Sunday

Posted by: MrIndependent 20th May 2015, 01:15 PM

She will be top five.

Posted by: Joe. 20th May 2015, 01:17 PM

C'mon! She'll be top 10 for sure, unless she starts dark-redding all over the place from this evening - which I see as unlikely. I'm predicting top 5 even.

Posted by: ___∆___ 20th May 2015, 01:18 PM

No way Taylor will miss the Top 10 on Sunday - She's already there today and sales have increased further today, She's #1 on iTunes so even if streaming does really effect her I can't see her entering any lower than #8 but am fully expecting Top 5...

Posted by: Šþinniŋğ Ŧř& 20th May 2015, 01:19 PM

Top 15 wasn't meant to be taken seriously (hence the in my post )

I predict top 5 on sales and about #9 or so on combined.

Posted by: Mack 20th May 2015, 01:19 PM

Taylor/Kendrick will probably be around #6 on Sunday.

Posted by: Joe. 20th May 2015, 01:24 PM

As it's not going to be particularly high week in sales I'm thinking #1 on sales #4 officially for Taylor.

Posted by: Heathyheath_ 20th May 2015, 01:26 PM

I'm thinking the same thing, Taylor's lack of streaming and missing a day of sales on Sunday means I reckon she'll be pretty likely to become the week's sales number one. I think that in the official chart the only people Taylor won't beat are Lunch Money and Omi

Taylor sold #2 most yesterday, and the most in sales only.

Ella selling a lot slower than the rest of the top 10, sadly. Her pre-orders haven't given her enough of a lead for a possibility of top 10 on Sunday

Posted by: Hadji 20th May 2015, 02:36 PM

Radio 1 refuse to play "She Knows" and "Hopelessly Caring" but they play the fake version of "Want To Want Me". If they play a song from Brandon Flowers' album but don't play the two new songs, I'll be annoyed

Posted by: Rush 20th May 2015, 02:43 PM

It's not a fake version, it's a cover with 5 million YouTube views.

Posted by: Hadji 20th May 2015, 02:45 PM

Ok, it's not a fake version but still, they play this over Ne-Yo's brilliant song and Wilkinson's brand new tune

Posted by: steps 20th May 2015, 02:46 PM

They play the Andie Case song - which is not really a fake version, but more of a cover of "WTWM" because it is higher in the charts then the songs they did not play. And I really hope that the radio play gives her an extra boost - wish the same for Sheppard, still Top 20, should now easily make the Top 40 on Sunday.

Posted by: Mart!n 20th May 2015, 02:47 PM

Omi's sales are really falling now, if he carries on selling 10k per day, most likely 75k for the week.

As for the albums its going to be a close one I think, it could sway towards Paul, as both artists are selling as much as each other practically.

Posted by: Hadji 20th May 2015, 02:48 PM

Sheppard could have been higher if the label didn't keep messing about with the release date

Posted by: liamk97 20th May 2015, 02:50 PM

I don't think it's a case of "refusing" as they playlisted Ne-Yo's 'Coming With You' and Wilkinson's song is on the current playlist.

Posted by: Joe. 20th May 2015, 02:52 PM

Taylor is looking at going in with roughly 40 - 60k sales, depending on how much she increases or decreases at the end of the week.

Posted by: Hadji 20th May 2015, 02:53 PM

Usually on the update, they only have time to play 6 songs. As for Wilkinson, if his song was played earlier on that show, then it's understandable why it never got played on the update. As for Ne-Yo, I expected him to get played as they and sister station 1xtra strongly support the song

Posted by: steps 20th May 2015, 02:53 PM

True, when was the original scheduled release for the UK?

If it had been released at the same time here, as in main Europe, I reckon it might have gone Top 5, so hoping for Top 40 now seems relly a bit strange

Posted by: Rob Eyrenimo 20th May 2015, 02:53 PM

Yeah but they had good reason to as it wasn't doing anything much on pre orders or getting any support from radio but it should be a top 10 at least. Glad it's 18 today. Looks likely that it should make top 40 on Sunday.

Boo at Ella dropping already

Posted by: Mango 20th May 2015, 02:54 PM

Did they play 'Geronimo'?

Posted by: Hadji 20th May 2015, 02:55 PM

Yeah they did

Posted by: Hadji 20th May 2015, 02:55 PM

15th March, then 19th April, then 17th May

Posted by: Mango 20th May 2015, 02:56 PM

I'm sure the date has changed more times than that

Posted by: Hadji 20th May 2015, 02:57 PM

I think it has but they're the only ones I remember

Posted by: Rush 20th May 2015, 02:57 PM

Once upon a time it was scheduled for July 2014

http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=167706

Posted by: JosephRomanyuta 20th May 2015, 02:58 PM

I doubt Geronimo would've been much bigger if it were released earlier, Radio 1 would never playlist it, it's firmly Radio 2 material I think, and that doesn't tend to lend itself to single sales. I'm impressed it's doing so well tbh.

Posted by: Mart!n 20th May 2015, 03:01 PM

Sheppard's track reminds me of Capital Cities with Safe & Sound, ended up with a messy release in the end.

Posted by: Jonjo 20th May 2015, 03:04 PM

I wonder how far away Jessie is from the top 40? (If she's not there already? - I didn't listen and R1's mid week chart link hasn't updated yet!)

Posted by: Rush 20th May 2015, 03:05 PM

http://www.officialcharts.com/charts/singles-chart-update/ has updated! She's #27.

Posted by: MACMOORE22 20th May 2015, 03:10 PM

Could Taylord reach number 1???? That would be rather marvellous, the remix is 100 times better than the stale original!

Posted by: ___∆___ 20th May 2015, 03:12 PM

Changed lots - Was put up for pre-order originally on the UK store in July 2014 with many, many planned release dates since then until now.

Ooh! Thanks for the link!

Posted by: ___∆___ 20th May 2015, 03:17 PM

So pleased that Mariah is still Top 10 and S Club 7 are climbing The reactions to the S Club tour have been fantastic so hopefully the album will hang around for a while.

Posted by: pippa 20th May 2015, 03:21 PM

I am pleased for S Club 7 climbing, the tour is showing benefit. I am extremely pleased that Brandon Flowers has slightly increased his lead to hold the number 1 position and his new single I Can Change is showing in at number 56.

Take That remain top 30 at this stage of the week which i am happy with.

Brandon was 1.4k ahead of Paul yesterday and he's since extended his lead to 2.7k so I would think it's looking pretty likely he'll take the #1.

Really delighted with how well 'The Desired Effect' is selling. Should do about 35k which is very impressive given the five year gap between this and his last record (which debuted with 65k) and the lack of a hit single this time around.

Posted by: mr_aly 20th May 2015, 03:38 PM

I knew it would, the way it fell from #8 to #17 in the end over the course of the week.

I think she stands a better chance of rescuing more sales in the future than Sucker and FROOT do though, but I guess it remains to be seen.

Posted by: James1987 20th May 2015, 04:17 PM

So Chandelier is finally out of the top 40...of course I know this wont last

Please let Galantis hold on to the top 5, that would be great

Concerning for Ella at 6, I think it's going to be a close call for her but hoping she can scrape in at 9/10

Posted by: Šþinniŋğ Ŧř& 20th May 2015, 04:44 PM

Fab to see DJ Snake leaning in the top 5 and pretty much the whole top 10 is still fab too (only thing is I'll have to spill another set of minuses in the reshuffle :|)
Hopefully the official->sales gap will be small for Bad Blood and Hey Mama will continue to slow down (perhaps even miss the top 15 like the absolute JAMS Just One Last Time and I Can Only Imagine did )

Ouch for that Talking Body fall the new Wilkinson is just ok so I don't mind it flopping at this stage, hopefully Cool will stay top 40 somehow and One Last Time spends at least one last week in the top 40 also
Poor Younger and its fall too

The site makes it so confusing having the last week position as the midweek rather than the Sunday position hope it gets sorted out soon

Posted by: Ethan 20th May 2015, 06:19 PM

Not necessarily, weekend sales decisively favoured Paul Simon last month when the mids were suggesting a likely return to the top for James Bay~

Posted by: Noahspike 20th May 2015, 06:36 PM

That's true and I wouldn't rule it out. My point was more that as of right now, there's not a lot to suggest it'll be very close with Brandon quite comfortably outselling Paul rather than them 'selling as much as each other practically'.

Posted by: Kath ♡ 20th May 2015, 08:03 PM

Tove Lo's drops were kind of expected, the album and 'Talking Body' have been out since September last year and 'Habits' was a hit more than a year ago in the UK. Holding back a campaign so long was always going to make it front-loaded

It should also be noted that Queen of the Clouds dropped 14-52 in the US in its second week and now after 27 weeks it's sitting at #29

Posted by: Knightr634 20th May 2015, 09:14 PM

I really hope Brandon will take it. Chances are in his favour as he starts his tour tomorrow - and I'm going on Friday. Hopefully this will buoyant his sales over the weekend

Posted by: mr_aly 20th May 2015, 10:16 PM

I noticed Sucker is back at #99 (I know that's nothing to really write home about). Is that just because of 'Famous' having an effect or has it had some dramatic pride reduction somewhere?

Posted by: Joe. 20th May 2015, 10:18 PM

3.99 on iTunes! Froot slaying at #160 through the same deal.

Posted by: The Hit Parade 20th May 2015, 10:25 PM

If I was as hyped a pop star as Charli XCX and my album getting to 99 was considered impressive, I think I'd have a "massive pride reduction".

Am I the only one who finds Brandon Flowers a bit smug and is sort of hoping he doesn't get a Number One just for that reason?

Posted by: mr_aly 20th May 2015, 11:02 PM

Bless her, they really can't give this album away can they?

I expect copies of it to be given away in cereal packets this summer.

Posted by: ___∆___ 21st May 2015, 12:04 AM

Even I wasn't tempted to part with 99p for the album when it was one of Google Play's daily deals after giving it a listen on streaming!

Posted by: Jonjo 21st May 2015, 12:29 AM

What makes you think Brandon Flowers is "smug"? I think it's known in the industry that he's one of the nicest, down to Earth and humble guys in the business!

I wish I could remember a time when the expressions 'slay' and 'your faves could never' hadn't entered common parlance...

Still nice to see Ella Eyre's still top 10.

Posted by: Mango 21st May 2015, 01:21 PM

I believe it's 'your faves could neva'...

Posted by: Mack 21st May 2015, 01:24 PM

Probably get to #3 on Sunday now for Taylor/Kendrick.

Posted by: John-James 21st May 2015, 01:53 PM

If we get sales today can someone do the maths and see if Taylor is selling enough to atleast have a chance at #1 officially?

Posted by: Joe. 21st May 2015, 01:56 PM

Yesterday she was selling at the rate of #2 with streaming combined. But it'll be hard to say even if/when we get today's mids, because streaming patterns are so different of the weekend. I'll of course work this out anyway.

Posted by: ThePensmith 21st May 2015, 02:19 PM

Exactly

Posted by: ¡bré! 21st May 2015, 03:04 PM

Kendrick slaying, your faves could neva.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 21st May 2015, 03:29 PM

She was ~4K behind the #5 yesterday, I don't think she is doing quite enough to catch Omi (who had a lead of 17.8K) - even in a quiet sales week but she could easily be #2.

If all songs continue selling at the rate they did yesterday, this is what the Top 5 will look like:

1 OMI 66.7k
2 Wiz 50.5k
3 Taylor 50.4k
4 Lunch 50.3k
5 Galantis 40.9k

So Taylor is pretty much guaranteed #4 at least. She sold 9.7k yesterday whilst OMI sold 9.3k.

Posted by: ¡bré! 21st May 2015, 04:45 PM

The OCC actually ARE crediting Kendrick on 'Bad Blood' - hooray for inconsistency once again!

I've noticed they now specifically list 'Cheerleader' as 'Cheerleader (Felix Jaehn Remix)' as well - this wouldn't be bothersome if it weren't for the fact they literally never do this with remixes, 'Waves' being the biggest recent example of course (or 'Can't Stop Playing (Makes Me High)' for an even more recent though less massive example).

Posted by: Scrub 21st May 2015, 05:05 PM

Looks like Brandon will take that number 1 spot

Noel and Blur update please?

Posted by: Kath ♡ 21st May 2015, 05:16 PM

Tove Lo update please?

Posted by: Doctor Blind 21st May 2015, 05:28 PM

Queen of the Clouds is at 44 and Talking Body at 27.

Posted by: Hadji 21st May 2015, 05:43 PM

Ne-Yo #38 yesterday and #40 today is a joke when it's been climbing high on iTunes

Posted by: liamk97 21st May 2015, 05:45 PM

#23 for Noel; #20 for Blur.


It's been #19 Monday to Wednesday on iTunes so has been selling consistently, which is why it is hanging around low Top 40. What #19 sells on iTunes now is obviously only enough for this position when combined.

Posted by: steve201 21st May 2015, 05:51 PM

Not that much of a shock when I'm pretty sure Neyos not doing as well on streams.

Decent sales for the top 2 albums - Brandon should break 30k and Weller near 30k too. As for the singles I think Omi should break 70k with the top up weekend streams.

Posted by: liamk97 21st May 2015, 05:55 PM

Yep, I'd agree with that. I'm impressed that Weller should end up close to 30k as his last studio album in 2012 achieved just over 30k - very consistent despite the drop in the market.

Posted by: steve201 21st May 2015, 05:59 PM

Yeh he has a really big fan base similar to Morrissey or an act like that plus he still gets radio 2/6 Music plays. I'm impressed with Brandon too since radio 1 no longer support him although his album has still been quite anticipated!

Posted by: MrIndependent 21st May 2015, 06:06 PM

#4 for Taylor tomorrow. Hopefully she will hold that position on Sunday; otherwise she shouldn't be lower than #5 with a strong advantage over the songs below her.

Posted by: Scrub 21st May 2015, 06:06 PM

Thx

Posted by: Mart!n 21st May 2015, 06:09 PM

Bit annoying just when Taylor releases a new single, we might not even get a chart show on Sunday she probably perform it at Norwich. Is anyone actually going to Norwich this weekend.

Posted by: Jack 21st May 2015, 06:11 PM

Poor Ella is gonna end up debuting outside the top 10 isn't she?

Posted by: ___∆___ 21st May 2015, 06:37 PM

Yes at Mariah climbing on the albums! I know sales are low etc, but didn't expect it to be touching the Top 20 at this stage.

Posted by: SLlewellyn 21st May 2015, 06:43 PM

Got everything crossed for Ella Eyre, hoping she sold enough at the beginning of the week to hold on to a T10 placing. Gutted to see Wilkinson and Ne-Yo moving ever closer to dropping out of the T40 too, would love to see them both in the T40 officially.

Posted by: Dobbo 21st May 2015, 07:01 PM

How bizarre that a fake version of Want To Want Me is selling well enough to chart! Don't think this has ever happened with any of Derulo's previous offerings right? Hopefully it'll be pushed out the top 40.

Looking pretty bleak for Ella now, just won't fall for her sadly. Still, the album should be decent (provided it doesn't get cancelled).

Other than that, what a rotten week for new entries. When She Knows is the next best you know you're struggling!

Posted by: Rob Eyrenimo 21st May 2015, 07:11 PM

She Knows is dreadful from the clips I've heard on YouTube. would prefer that didn't make the top 40. It's been ages since he's released anything properly decent. For me anyway.

Definitely not a chance of Ella hanging on which is a big shame. Seems like her featuring on tracks is that much more popular

Posted by: Joe. 21st May 2015, 07:13 PM

It won't. She's looking at like #12 or worse.

Posted by: fchd 21st May 2015, 07:42 PM

It's not a fake version.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 21st May 2015, 07:51 PM

Before "In My Head" was released, "Just Dance" by Lady GaGa also went to No. 1. Not sure which was the fake version tho, or who filed the lawsuit?

Posted by: Dobbo 21st May 2015, 07:56 PM

Not strictly speaking, but it's the exact same situation as Prayer In C/All About That Bass/Cheerleader recently where someone takes advantage of a held back track & they were all to referred to as fakes.

Posted by: Rush 21st May 2015, 08:00 PM

This one has 5 million YouTube views and is selling in other countries though.

Posted by: Šþinniŋğ Ŧř& 21st May 2015, 08:18 PM

I predict Taylor gets #3 this week (perhaps #2 on sales?) and possibly 2 on both charts next week.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 21st May 2015, 08:25 PM

She will be #1 on sales, easily. You only really need to be selling 45-50K to be number 1 on the sales chart these days. I think that'll be enough for 2 on the combined chart with Wiz Khalifa at 3 (streaming advantage over the weekend) and LunchMoney Lewis down to 4.

Posted by: JosephRomanyuta 22nd May 2015, 10:17 AM

Mariah still climbing in the albums

Posted by: mr_aly 22nd May 2015, 10:19 AM

I'm foreseeing a #11, bless her. I thought this sounded like the one that would do it for her but it's just too identikit of the sound Sigma and DJ Fresh have been peddling out for a long time, and it's fairly average really.

'Comeback' was her brilliant single for me. I wish that had gone top 10.

Posted by: Hadji 22nd May 2015, 10:32 AM

Yes to Ne-Yo gaining a place since yesterday. Let's hope he can finally settle for a top 40 placing

Posted by: Hadji 22nd May 2015, 10:35 AM

She'd comfortably get top 10 if it was overplayed by Capital

Posted by: Joe. 22nd May 2015, 10:37 AM

Yes, Comeback was her standout moment for me, too. I feel it will remain her highest peaking solo single.

Posted by: steve201 22nd May 2015, 11:00 AM

Hopefully Hot Chip stay in the top 10!

Posted by: pippa 22nd May 2015, 11:10 AM

I fully expected Mariah to be dropping not climbing. Brandon Flowers must be safe for the number 1 album now PIt would be wonderful if Hozier can keeping increasing in the singles and safely stay in the top 20 region.

Posted by: steve201 22nd May 2015, 11:11 AM

His streams were increasing earlier this week so he must be breaking through on that format too which is a good sign of longevity!

Posted by: Scrub 22nd May 2015, 12:08 PM

Noel and Blur still #23 and #20?

Posted by: Steve-London 22nd May 2015, 12:18 PM

Anyone know where Wilkinson is in today's update?

Posted by: liamk97 22nd May 2015, 12:24 PM

Noel is still #23 but Blur is #21.


Not Top 40, if we get extra information later, I'll let you know what position.

Posted by: Rob Eyrenimo 22nd May 2015, 12:26 PM

Not looking good at all for Ella

Hmm 26 for Geronimo makes me think it should hang on even with the full streaming effect. Here's hoping

Jessie J genuinely looking to be #41 isn't she it's not too bad I suppose so wouldn't be against it hanging on actually!

Posted by: mr_aly 22nd May 2015, 12:38 PM

I expect #26 on Friday for 'Geronimo' means it should be safely top 40.

I'm gonna say #34 at the lowest.

Posted by: ___∆___ 22nd May 2015, 12:44 PM

#43

Posted by: #OwlVicii 22nd May 2015, 05:38 PM

Looks pretty unlikely for Taylor getting #1 this week.

Posted by: liamk97 22nd May 2015, 05:45 PM

Amazed at how well Mariah Carey is doing! She's had two of the new entries drop behind her but she's not dipped under selling 1k at all. She'll have beaten the 6,547 that her last studio album entered with despite that having the help of '#Beautiful'.

Yeah, no way she's going to get any higher than #4 this week. Top 5 should be Omi, Wiz Khalifa, LunchMoney Lewis, Taylor Swift, Galantis.

Posted by: Kath ♡ 22nd May 2015, 06:03 PM

Tove Lo please?

Kind Regards

Posted by: Doctor Blind 22nd May 2015, 06:06 PM

Talking Body is unchanged from yesterday, and Queen of the Clouds is now down to 45 and very likely to fall further by the weekend.

Posted by: SLlewellyn 22nd May 2015, 06:40 PM

Everyone go and stream Ella Eyre a few dozen times, it'll be devastating to see her miss out on another T10! Agree with previous comments though that "Comeback" remains her best solo single, not sure why she's not a bigger chart success - the tracks are all solid pop efforts.

Posted by: Dobbo 22nd May 2015, 07:32 PM

I'm surprised T-Wayne is still not in the top 40 it looked an almost certainty given it just missed out last week. Perhaps yet another #41 peaker?

Posted by: SITCHUAISHAAAN 22nd May 2015, 08:32 PM

Taylor Swift is settling with #4 I guess for this week. If she's stable next week she could get a #3 spot with Omi and Jason Derulo above her!
