Not much happening in the singles chart this week, with the top 5 remaining unchanged with Jess Glynne CIN track 'Take Me Home' among the top 5. New singles come from Format: B 'Chunky', KSI feat. JME 'Keep Up' and Missy Elliott collaborating with Pharrell Williams on 'WTF (Where They From)' and other Justin Bieber tracks cherry picked from his new studio album.

As for the albums, its a battle for the top from Justin Bieber's new studio album 'Purpose' and in the other corner One Direction with their last studio album together 'Made In The A.M.' who will be the eventual artist on top of the album chart come Friday, its going to be a very interesting week. Other new album releases this week for Jeff Lynne's ELO 'Alone In The Universe', Skrapz 'The End Of The Beginning', Kylie Minogue 'Kylie Christmas' and Ben Haenow with his self titled debut album 'Ben Haenow'. Only 2 big albums to drop between now and Xmas, Coldplay and Adele, the latter is released next Friday expecting huge sales.




Also please take note sales are not guaranteed every day

I think Adele will just about hang on, its too early to tell though as for Sorry, it might just edge there with stronger stream sales to his advantage, I'm really surprised Sorry has done so much better than his previous #1 single, also with the album release should give Sorry another boost. Whatever happens Adele will return back to #1 the week after. Why does someone have to stick a the spanner in the works and spoil a long running #1 track for a change without a break. fingers cross for Adele to keep that top spot.

Posted by: vidcapper Nov 14 2015, 10:13 AM

Maybe Elvis could stymy them both?

Posted by: Joe. Nov 14 2015, 11:05 AM

Posted by: HausofKubrick Nov 14 2015, 11:21 AM

Ugh... Bieber's album is so much stronger than 1D's so I was really hoping he could somehow do it.

Posted by: Mateja Nov 14 2015, 11:23 AM

Did anyone really expect Bieber to beat 1D on their home turf? Plus they have the X Factor performance on Sunday.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 14 2015, 11:25 AM

I think Bieber's will probably outsell 1D's in the long run. This week fans will be buying 2/3/4 different versions of the album. Some will even buy 5/6 as there different Harry, Liam, Louis, Niall covers etc.

Doesn't help that lots of Bieber's bundles have been delayed.

Posted by: Mart!n Nov 14 2015, 11:26 AM

That's the #1 album sorted, don't expect it to be there the following week

Posted by: vidcapper Nov 14 2015, 11:31 AM

Adele will sell more than 2 weeks of Bieber/OD combined!

Posted by: SKOB Nov 14 2015, 11:36 AM

Nice try to downplay Biebs and 1D

Posted by: Klumzee Nov 14 2015, 11:41 AM

I don't really understand this obsession with long running #1s bar a 'pretty chart run'? Sorry has proved itself to be one of the biggest hits of the year and has been very unlucky not to reach #1 so surely a week or two at the top would be justified?

Posted by: steve201 Nov 14 2015, 12:22 PM

I would also like Adele to just remain at No1 this week if it meant she would rise again after a 1 week stay for Bieber and stay there until xmas so we have a good 6/7 weeker. But if people are genuinely over Hello and Sorry is unquestionably rising due to people becoming bored of the later and it becoming a big hit im all for a change at no1. I just hope Sorry isnt rising just for this week because of the album hype etc.

You never know Hello might not even rise with a Tv performance as sometimes happens with big selling hits that have late tv promo we shall have to wait and see.

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 14 2015, 12:26 PM

Vying for Kylie to get a top 10 album, but won't lose sleep over it if she doesn't.

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 14 2015, 12:31 PM

I'd be shocked if Sorry wasn't #1 on Friday actually. Children In Need hasn't boosted Jess as much as I expected it to, and whilst X Factor may propel her to the iTunes #1, I don't think it'll be enough to take the official top spot. Justin's on ~94% combined on iTunes right now, and is ahead on streaming (no doubt with big numbers today after yesterday's album release), so I think Justin will finally take it, and I hope so too! It's been a huge hit already, a week at #1 is the least it deserves now.

Posted by: iain Nov 14 2015, 02:36 PM

kylie's at no 5 according to Mint Royale.

Posted by: slowdown73 Nov 14 2015, 02:47 PM

I'm very pleased about Kylie. Hopefully she will stay top 10 by end of the week.

Posted by: girl_from_oz Nov 14 2015, 04:17 PM

Wonder how Ben Haenow is doing, I'm guessing ELO are at 3, and Elvis at 4, Ed Sheeran probably at 6, so will Haenow be number 7

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 14 2015, 04:24 PM

That's the best I could have hoped for at this stage for Madame Minogue. I think she stands a reasonable chance of staying top 10.

Posted by: Regina Nov 14 2015, 04:33 PM

Sleighlie is coming.

Posted by: Shivering Adam❄️ Nov 14 2015, 05:11 PM

Hello and Sorry are both very good songs but I think it would be a good outcome to see both have an oppurtunity to take the crown. Shame Bieber can't be doing the double as the album's singles so far have actually been great and One Direction haven't proven to be as good for me with the last few singles (never thought I'd say this until a few months ago! )

Posted by: tomwright123 Nov 14 2015, 05:19 PM

Anyone know how Get Weird has faired?

Posted by: Joe. Nov 14 2015, 05:23 PM

No word, but I can imagine it being around 9/10 at the moment, but will most probably climb over the course of the week, with Ben and Kylie falling beneath them.

I wouldn't be entirely surprised if Ellie fell from the top 10.

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 14 2015, 06:32 PM

Where is Ben Haenow?

I think that'd be a huge embarrassment for him if he missed the top 10, I think he might.

Posted by: sammy01 Nov 14 2015, 07:15 PM

Would it really be embarrassing? I mean yeah he won X factor but his record label evidently have zero interest in him and want rid of him asap. He is basically in a no win situation.

Posted by: MrIndependent Nov 14 2015, 07:17 PM

Let's say 1D have sold 60k, which is a bit more than Up All Night sold but less than FOUR's 75k (it could be on similar sales). 1D winning by a 50% with that sale would put Bieber on 40k, which is already more than all his other albums sold in their first week. If 1D are on another 75k, that puts Bieber on 50k.

Great sales and outcome for both anyway. Justin was never going to be #1, but it will be on the streaming chart and digital chart.

I'd imagine that Elvis is at 3, followed by ELO and Kylie. Ed is probably up to 6 and Little Mix, who I think will be selling more than Ben, will probably be at 7 with him at 8 and falling as the week goes on.

Great result for Miss Kyles. Happy with that.

Posted by: Aphrodite Nov 14 2015, 07:41 PM

I am hoping the same,Kylie is my main interest this week, although i would love Ben Haenow to get top 10 at the least. I was on a cd spending splurge today, bought Kylie for myself, One Direction for my daughter and Ben Haenow for my partner as she is a huge fan. All 3 of us like Ben Haenow so we put it on and its a good album, sadly syco seem to have no interest in him at all and like Matt Cardle they will drop him

Posted by: Mart!n Nov 14 2015, 07:51 PM

I think Rod Stewart will still be top 5, there was 2 programmes last night on TV featuring him back to back.

Posted by: torresgirl Nov 14 2015, 08:07 PM

Very sad to see how they are treating Ben and I agree the album on first listen is very good. I think he will manage Top ten. It would be a real shame if he didn't.

Posted by: SmileyKylie Nov 14 2015, 08:22 PM

Kylie not got much promo coming up this week, but packed in December...... so it will be interesting to see if she can keep a top 10 and the sales margins as she is slipping now on ITunes, still a bit early for Christmas-factor

Posted by: MrIndependent Nov 14 2015, 08:28 PM

It's the general public that have no interest in Ben. Voting for someone on a talent show in comparison to supporting their music and buying their albums outside of said show is a totally different discipline; we've known this for a while and most people also knew last year when Ben was crowned winner that he wouldn't have much success. Nothing to do with Syco.

Posted by: torresgirl Nov 14 2015, 08:49 PM

There is always luck involved with any artist as to whether they make it or not but you only have to look at the release strategy for his single to see they don't care. I don't think there's much doubt Ben would have entered the Top 10 if his single had been released the week of his performance . Instead there was no promo for two weeks before it and he performed at about 20 past 10 on the first show, even I got bored waiting for him I'm sure some people had already switched off, yet he managed to sell 40k downloads in those first two weeks before that performance without much help at all. Those sales would have been more condensed with a better strategy & he would have made the Top Ten quite easily. Because of this mess up the flop tag started week 1 when he entered the charts at #21. Ben is marketable, they just can't be bothered or are inept. Getting Kelly on board made it look like they tried but everything since says otherwise.

Posted by: MusiqqisuM Nov 14 2015, 09:48 PM

Ben is top 5 in albums according to Cowell on X Factor. Will be slightly awkward now if/when it drops.....

Posted by: torresgirl Nov 14 2015, 10:28 PM

Lets hope he can do it. It jumped 20-11 on itunes after the ad for it appeared during XF. A little promo goes a long way..

Posted by: Stuart25 Nov 14 2015, 11:33 PM

Sorry for being naive, but if I "complete my album" after buying one song on iTunes, does that count as an album sale? Even if the song has already been registered as a single sale?

Posted by: Suedehead2 Nov 14 2015, 11:49 PM

Yes.

Posted by: slowdown73 Nov 15 2015, 01:39 PM

Ben Haenow was never going to be a successful singer. Let's face it - there's just something missing and he falls into the same category of Steve Brookstein and Joe McElderry - individuals who won the show but the runners up managed more successful music careers. Even if his album is in the top 10, I suspect it will drop quickly and he won't be heard of again.

Posted by: Serg Mix Nov 15 2015, 01:55 PM

Overall everytime the runner-up or below.. gets more fame and sucess than winner. Except 2011.

Posted by: Regina Nov 15 2015, 01:57 PM

TBF to Ben, and it pains me to say this, the album is pretty decent. Not totally unlike the kind of stuff you hear from OneRepublic, he just has pretty shoddy promotion
and marketability, and that cover is dire.

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 15 2015, 02:00 PM

Well that's not entirely true, Leona's far outperformed anyone else in her year I'd say Shayne Ward was the most successful from his year too, easily. JLS outperformed Alexandra but we can't undermine her huge success with that debut album either!

Posted by: Mateja Nov 15 2015, 02:10 PM

The problem is the voting audience.

On all these singing shows all around the world the audience heavily favors male contestants. Male singers, over 20, possibly even over 25 years old, adult contemporary, pop rockers. Females of all ages, but especially those middle aged and older women heavily gravitate towards those types. Ben Haenow totally fits in. I knew he would be dangerous when he made it to the live shows and it soon became clear that he had it in the bag. When they showed his female fans on the finale from his homecoming, it was very clear that he was unstoppable.

So guys of that type easily win these shows, but later on they struggle to stay relevant in the music business.

Ben turned 30 in January. Hit radio stations (Capital, BBC Radio 1) think he is too old for their target audience and that he is too uncool. And the support of Capital ans BBC Radio 1 are crucial for post show success.

Posted by: Regina Nov 15 2015, 02:12 PM

Here's hoping he goes down the route of Shayne and Matt and strips down for a magazine shoot. That'll gain some fans.

Posted by: Hadji Nov 15 2015, 02:35 PM

Why do radio stations have to be so ageist? They play David Guetta all the time and do they not realise he is nearing 50?

Posted by: Mateja Nov 15 2015, 02:43 PM

Guetta is a DJ, not a singer. He usually has much younger guest vocalists featured.

Posted by: SKOB Nov 15 2015, 02:49 PM

Radio isn't ageist by default. It's all about the audience of a radio channel. Pop stars over 50 do get some airplay but not on the stations that aim at teens or under 30 year olds. It's the same in tv.

If Madonna isn't relevant for teenagers in 2015 why would a channel playing music for teenagers play Madonna? The quality of music is not really the (only) factor.

Posted by: torresgirl Nov 15 2015, 03:01 PM

I understand the general point about Radio 1/Capital catering for the young/teenagers etc but Ben fits pretty much the same demographic as Olly Murs (women of all ages and men like him too) and he gets playlisted all the time. Isn't he also a couple of years past 30? You only have to look at the people queuing at Ben's signing in Newcastle today (as well as his Facebook/Twitter) to see there are plenty of teenager there. Who's to say if he got that Radio 1/Capital airplay he wouldn't pick up many more? I would love to understand how they make these decisions. Why does Olly get hammered and Ben gets nothing? He hasn't released covers, its all original and written/co written by him etc. If it was X Factor snobbery (which is a hurdle) surely Olly who is so involved in the XF machine would be a prime candidate for no airplay, Maybe actually winning is a curse as some people say! !

Posted by: torresgirl Nov 15 2015, 03:08 PM

Well I wouldn't mind that regardless And nice post of the previous page, Very fair as I know you are not Ben's biggest fan.

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 15 2015, 03:10 PM

I think it's quite clear that Olly and Ben are not the same type of artist. Olly's music is current and appeals to a wide range of ages. Second Hand Heart (which I do quite like, for the record) is quite clearly a Radio 2 song. Sure, Ben may have some younger fans, but typically he'll be aiming at a Radio 2 audience with that type of music whereas Olly's music is catered to both I think. It's not even to do with ages, it's the type of music they make. Olly and Ben are very different artists.

Posted by: Mateja Nov 15 2015, 03:14 PM

Olly started out significantly younger. He was 25 when he was on the X Factor. Also, his music is way more poppy.

Posted by: Dobbo Nov 15 2015, 03:17 PM

Had Ben entered at a younger age he would have probably got more support, that's just the way it is.

Posted by: torresgirl Nov 15 2015, 03:23 PM

Appreciate all the comments above. I just think its a shame. I've listened to his album 5/6 times now and its really good. Just feel if more people could hear it, it would do very well. The music biz is tough...

Posted by: JimmyT Nov 15 2015, 03:31 PM

There are lots of successful and relevant male artists over 30 (Bruno Mars, Adam Levine, Calvin Harris, Kanye, Eminem etc etc). Age is a factor but those shows are so narrow and dated in terms of musical content and production it doesnt do the contestants (or winner) any favours in the 'cool stakes'.

Posted by: Aphrodite Nov 15 2015, 03:44 PM

Ben Haenow's album is a solid, i hope he can manage to sell through the x mas market and build up sales. Another factor performance would be great help but it wont happen as the winners like everyone else get one performance only.

Posted by: Regina Nov 15 2015, 03:51 PM

He better release Start Again or Lions next tbh, if they don't get people interested, nothing will.

Posted by: Envoirment Nov 15 2015, 03:53 PM

I'm not too sure about that. I think if he can get Heart/BBC Radio 2/Magic FM support, that should be enough to sustain album sales and singles. Heart play has been keeping the single nice and stable on iTunes in the 15-20 region. I can see it going silver and the album going gold at least, which I think is good. He just needs good marketing, but it seems Syco are paying more attention to Fleur than Ben, whiich isn't helping.

Posted by: torresgirl Nov 15 2015, 03:59 PM

Yes they are two of my favs along with Testify/Every Tear You Cry. It's been rumoured for a long time that the second single will be Slamming Doors, which I do like and is a good solid song but not as good as those imo.

Posted by: sammy01 Nov 15 2015, 04:10 PM

All Yours is my fave from his album, it is a cracking song.

Posted by: torresgirl Nov 15 2015, 04:12 PM

Oh how could I forget that one?! There are so many good songs there though, so forgive me

Posted by: Hassaan Nov 15 2015, 05:46 PM

I wonder if Syco will be looking at the sales figures themselves rather than the chart position? I think Ben will be lucky to stay within the top 10, but whether Syco will deem that a good enough result I don't know. I think Ben has been setback slightly by not being able to promote "Second Hand Heart" by actually performing it with Kelly who's on voice rest. If she wasn't they could have done Children in Need, The Graham Norton Show and so on (providing Cowell was open to it). I'm disappointed for him but all they are doing is proving the males "winners curse".

They need to rethink their strategy with winners (male, female or whatever). Going AWOL for 10 months or more works if you're someone like Adele who has a connection with people. It doesn't work with new artists. If they can't get new material out immediately they need to keep gigging, YouTube covers and so on. The record company should arrange performances at major events and so on. I don't think age has much to do with it, if so I think it's very unfair - it should really be about the material and his appeal first and foremost. So what if he's 30?

Do we see this weeks No. 1 breaking 100k sales?

Posted by: Bré Nov 15 2015, 09:56 PM

Sam Bailey's album was a pretty decent selling #1 and she was still dropped within a year. Ben Haenow was never going to be a major success and he will do a Matt Cardle at the very best.

Posted by: CallumDC Nov 16 2015, 09:47 AM

i should hope / think so, i mean i know the sales climate is a bit sh*t at the minute but least of all i expect 1D to sell upwards of 100k, justin make come close but not close enough i worry.

Posted by: slowdown73 Nov 16 2015, 11:10 AM

I thought Sam Bailey only sold about 150k in total? That's quite low for a number one album.

1D's album could be the first artist album to sell 100k or more in a week in 2015. I knew they'd be ahead of JB as they're selling more physicals

Posted by: Joe. Nov 16 2015, 02:38 PM

Probably not, they're looking at doing, optimistically, 30k this week. That'd still be 10k off Gold. next week 100% though which is still impressive!


Sadly 'Love Me Like You' is only #13, and that's with streaming missing.

Posted by: liamk97 Nov 16 2015, 02:40 PM

If Little Mix have any more promo this week, I could see 100k in total being possible. They were on track for ~55k based on last Thursday's update yet managed 60k so added missing data plus promo could boost it over 100k.

But as Joe says, they're currently on track to do 30k this week.

Posted by: CallumDC Nov 16 2015, 02:43 PM

where's mr. haenow's album please?

Posted by: Joe. Nov 16 2015, 02:44 PM

He's at 7, Kylie is actually at 6.

Posted by: CallumDC Nov 16 2015, 02:45 PM

ah thanks, am i correct in presuming kylie's sales will be slightly more front-loaded than his?

Posted by: sammy01 Nov 16 2015, 02:45 PM

Yeah I was assuming the missing data would push them up a few extra sales and sneak them over 100k this week.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 16 2015, 02:47 PM

Yes, he sold 1k more than her yesterday so should overtake her and I think he'll remain top 10, whereas she may not.

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 16 2015, 02:50 PM

Hope Kylie can keep top 10!

I was hoping to see 'Love Me Like You' at least climb. It better bloody do!

Posted by: Joe. Nov 16 2015, 02:55 PM

It's streaming just isn't working out for it, it's got a much lower streaming percentage than the sounds around it

Posted by: joes18 Nov 16 2015, 02:58 PM

do you think little mix will stay in the top 5 then this week?

Posted by: Joe. Nov 16 2015, 03:01 PM

Almost 100%. They are outselling everything behind them. The only slight competition they have is Jess Glynne at 11 who sold a lot yesterday (they still sold more). But I can't see her making up the 5k+ lead they have.

Posted by: edneyguerra Nov 16 2015, 03:04 PM

wheres eyes shut?

Posted by: Joe. Nov 16 2015, 03:06 PM

#33

Posted by: Serg Mix Nov 16 2015, 03:15 PM

Good for Little Mix. If they could get gold that would be amazing. But anyways. Glad to see Eyes Shut doing well

Posted by: Rogue Nov 16 2015, 03:21 PM

Glad to see Little Mix holding up in the albums. The battle for #1 and #3 in the singles chart is going to be extremely close.

Posted by: Envoirment Nov 16 2015, 03:24 PM

Very close battle in the singles chart, exciting! I'm hoping Adele can hold on for another week. I think she'll start getting boosted a lot come later in the week as the album release gets closer.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 16 2015, 03:26 PM

One Last Time is at #26 FYI.

Posted by: CallumDC Nov 16 2015, 03:27 PM

i think 1D have got this number one in the bag tbh, justin i expect will be several thousand copies behind.

Posted by: Serg Mix Nov 16 2015, 03:32 PM

It said in Singles chart.

Posted by: Envoirment Nov 16 2015, 03:42 PM

That high already? Where's "Focus" for reference?

Posted by: Joe. Nov 16 2015, 03:48 PM

24.


When streaming is fully intact, and with the probably free-fall of One Last Time this time tomorrow, OLT will probably not chart as high as this even if it's climbed a bit tomorrow. But it could possibly still finish top 40!

Posted by: liamk97 Nov 16 2015, 03:54 PM

I don't think streaming will affect as badly as it would anyone else, given Ariana is pretty much Queen of Streams! Maybe a little early to tell, but I could see her staying Top 40.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 16 2015, 03:56 PM

I mean for One Last Time, which isn't top 100 on Spotify, and won't get a lot of streaming since it's been and gone as a single.

Posted by: liamk97 Nov 16 2015, 03:59 PM

That's what I meant, although I didn't realise it wasn't Top 100 on streams anymore - I thought it was remaining Top 200 officially mainly because of continued good streaming!

Posted by: MyKindOfLove Nov 16 2015, 04:10 PM

RIP UK Singles Chart if Beiber makes it.

Posted by: torresgirl Nov 16 2015, 04:15 PM

Glad Ben Haenow is looking good for Top 10 in the albums.

I would rather Bieber be #1 than Adele every day of the week. I'm so bored of her tbh.

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 16 2015, 04:16 PM

Why? He's spent 5 weeks at #1 already this year and the chart survived !!! Imagine that, eh??

Posted by: MyKindOfLove Nov 16 2015, 04:16 PM

Rather Adele than Beiber - at least she has talent.

Posted by: Rafael x Nov 16 2015, 04:19 PM

64.6k pre-orders for 1D?

Posted by: torresgirl Nov 16 2015, 04:21 PM

Talent is relative and he clearly does have talent even if you don't like his songs?

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 16 2015, 04:21 PM

As some people know the official top 200, does anyone know where 'Cheyenne' (presumably) peaked last week? I can imagine it must have missed the top 100 by a whisker.

Posted by: Doctor Blind Nov 16 2015, 04:22 PM

No, that it is total sales for Friday-Sunday. Pre-orders look to have been around 25K.

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 16 2015, 04:22 PM

If you think *Bieber is untalented then you need to take a wider look at his music. Don't be so childish about it. You're welcome to dislike him but to say he's untalented is quite ridiculous.


64.6k sales from Friday-Sunday, including pre-orders!

Posted by: Joe. Nov 16 2015, 04:24 PM

It's not charting this week, so it's hard to say. It was charting at #109 last Thursday in the mids.

Posted by: Rafael x Nov 16 2015, 04:26 PM

tragic

Posted by: liamk97 Nov 16 2015, 04:26 PM

Was #103 last week. Chart run is as follows:

184-148-134-103-

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 16 2015, 04:27 PM

Thank you! It's like the only song of his I've properly loved, so annoying.

Posted by: CallumDC Nov 16 2015, 04:27 PM

seconded 100%. i hate negative stigmas people seem to have built up against certain artists such as justin, 1D, lady gaga for example, saying that they're 'not invested' or 'untalented' just because of a certain image they have or certain theatrics they employ in their music.

Posted by: liamk97 Nov 16 2015, 04:29 PM

It's okay! Yeah it's easily one of his best for me too. I suppose he'll easily bounce back from a flop, but potentially with something less deserving.

Posted by: MrIndependent Nov 16 2015, 04:50 PM

So 1D not really 'pissing' on Bieber as MintRoyale claims

With a 64k/50k sale at the moment, 1D are ahead by just under 30%. They must've had much more impressive pre-orders they Beiber to begin with a 50% difference. When streaming and the missing digital sale is added, Purpose will be selling more

Edit: on a daily basis, I mean.

Posted by: Shivering Adam❄️ Nov 16 2015, 04:52 PM

!!!!!!!!!!

Good to see Bieber is on track to get the #1 this week though!

Posted by: Hassaan Nov 16 2015, 04:54 PM

Considering who's above him, #7 isn't so bad but the sales won't look good up against the previous winners' debut albums. Here are the winners' debut album opening week sales:

375,872 - Leona Lewis: Spirit (#1)
* cumulative (Mar 15): 3,130,000
201,266 - Shayne Ward: Shayne Ward (#1)
* cumulative (w/e 30/3/14): 537,573
132,065 - Alexandra Burke: Overcome (#1)
* cumulative (w/e 30/3/14): 818,628
72,644 - Sam Bailey: The Power of Love (#1)
* cumulative (w/e 21/2/15): 162,000
70,896 - Matt Cardle: Letters (#2)
* cumulative (w/e 30/3/14): 276,845
63,995 - James Arthur: James Arthur (#2)
* cumulative (w/e 30/3/14): 255,558
53,314 - Little Mix: DNA (#3)
* cumulative (w/e 30/3/14): 344,969
50,989 - Steve Brookstein: Heart & Soul (#1)
* cumulative (w/e 30/3/14): 105,199
39,405 - Joe McElderry: Wide Awake (#3)
* cumulative (w/e 30/3/14): 104,445
37,197 - Leon Jackson: Right Now (#4)
* cumulative (w/e 30/3/14): 135,892

Unless it picks up, Ben Haenow will have to settle for the bottom of that list. I hope it can pick up though.

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 16 2015, 04:55 PM

Please watch what you say, this is meant to be a family forum and that first sentence is quite inappropriate!

I'm not sure what missing digital sales you're mentioning, nothing digital is listed on the missing data list (depending on what Amazon HD is but that's barely made any effect in the past). HMV sales will benefit 1D so the gap is probably around the same with Justin's streaming added (let's remember 1D are doing very well on streams too though).

Posted by: Regina Nov 16 2015, 04:56 PM

Such a shame since Ben's album is the best out of all of them, except for Matt and Shayne's.

Posted by: Gezza Nov 16 2015, 05:06 PM

Indeed so! Edited

Posted by: torresgirl Nov 16 2015, 05:17 PM

That's a shame, although the charts are very different now with streaming etc.

Posted by: *Callum Nov 16 2015, 05:32 PM

wow shayne's debut can't have had much longevity to have opened with such a huge figure and then to only just have doubled that in total

leona slaying <333 in all fairness, ben most certainly does not deserve to be bottom of that list but then i guess the sales climate is hardly at its best atm so he might just have to settle for a slow burner (that's providing he can get more than a semi-mediocre hit out of it).

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 16 2015, 05:33 PM

373,785 cumulative up to this week.

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 16 2015, 05:35 PM

It did reasonable enough in terms of its chart run, but as you can see there are worse offenders on that list for not selling a lot more than their opening weeks.

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 16 2015, 05:36 PM

Ben will end up with the lowest peak for a winner's debut album too so it's not the fault of the low sales climate either. Seems he's just not catching the public's imagination.

Posted by: Regina Nov 16 2015, 05:40 PM

Operation: Shed Clothes needs to come into play tbh.

Posted by: *Callum Nov 16 2015, 05:42 PM

oh no, obviously it's not solely down to the sales climate but i was just thinking, say if this album were released in 2011's fourth quarter, he may have garnered a higher opening tally then perhaps joe or leon.

Posted by: MishaB Nov 16 2015, 05:42 PM

My god, 100 sales between Adele and Justin. This is going to be an interesting week. The anticipation for Adele's new album might push Hello to #1 by Friday.

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 16 2015, 05:48 PM

Ah I see, that's a fair point for sure!


Unlikely, two days of Spotify data is missing and Justin is considerably further ahead there.

Posted by: omrimayo Nov 16 2015, 05:50 PM

So Justin is about 3K ahead... And today also another 1.5K lead from Spotify... :| So it's him this week, OK I LOVE Sorry... see you Hello next week at the top!

Posted by: Danvember Nov 16 2015, 06:00 PM

Amazing to see Format:B as high as #11 even with the lack of streaming data, hopefully this means it can remain in the top 40 at the weekend

Posted by: Mart123 Nov 16 2015, 06:05 PM

Do we have any pre order stats for adeles 25???

Posted by: Ethan Nov 16 2015, 06:13 PM

omg #11 is a brilliant start for format:b ~ slayyy

looks like the tussle between adele and bieber will go down to the wire, although 'sorry' has a streaming advantage, 'hello' should enjoy a boost ahead of the release of '25'~

would rather bieber took the album #1 than 1d tbh ~ hope all these album tracks fade away soon and stop cluttering up the chart

Posted by: rundmck Nov 16 2015, 06:14 PM

Well it's 3rd best selling album of 2015 on Amazon already, ahead of Ed Sheeran

Posted by: T Boy Nov 16 2015, 06:15 PM

Surprised to see Anastacia still top 20 but then again a new hits collection is probably more likely to puck up casual buyers than an album of new material. Hope she can hold.

Posted by: Beth Green Nov 16 2015, 06:21 PM

hope 1d gets #1 album and adele gets #1 single...
getting sick of bieber without streams he is nothing..

Posted by: sprock-93 Nov 16 2015, 06:22 PM

if she manages to get the top 20-25 she ll sell other 5k at least, the week after she should comeback to England from Germany and for sure she ll have some, even small, promo slots.

Posted by: *Callum Nov 16 2015, 06:34 PM

well this completely untrue. sure, streaming helps him out a lot however that does not go to say that without it, his sales would render him unsuccessful in any sense of the word. sorry is currently at number two on itunes and has been so now for nearly a month, what do you mean? upon realease shot straight to number one on itunes and remained there for weeks; on top of this, the majority of his units are made up of sales not streams.

anyway, even if streaming were to account for the majority of his chart success, the chart is a rundown of the uk's most popular songs of the week, it says a lot about bieber's popularity if his streaming success is being matched by few; streaming should not be discredited.

Posted by: SKOB Nov 16 2015, 06:41 PM

LOL people's hate towards Biebs is hilarious

Posted by: pippa Nov 16 2015, 06:46 PM

Ideally both Kylie and Ben Haenow would have a top 5 position, the question now is, can they both maintain a top 10 position through the week.

Posted by: Liаm Nov 16 2015, 06:57 PM

Posted by: Mart!n Nov 16 2015, 07:07 PM

After assessing the sales info, it looks pretty much Justin will have the #1 spot by the end of the week, once all the data is collected, at least Justin get a week with Sorry. I've never expected Justin to have 2 #1s back to back in just over a few weeks.

Adele will re-take it next week, with the album out and the Adele at the BBC TV special on Friday after Eastenders.

Posted by: Danvember Nov 16 2015, 07:11 PM

Justin Bieber could possibly have 3 #1s very close to each other actually, as the next single is already doing really well from cherry-picks/being top 3 on streams

Posted by: MrIndependent Nov 16 2015, 07:15 PM

Sorry guys! Apologies if the comment caused offense -- obviously it did not mean to, was not personal and was just a silly comparison.

It's worth noting that a huge 70% of Bieber's album sales are digital: his album is the biggest selling album on that format, but only the fourth on physicals, behind 1D, ELO (who are only 2k behind 1D! ) and Elvis. Unexpected that his digital sales are much higher than his physicals (though I am surprised the ratio is so large) but very interesting!

Posted by: Beth Green Nov 16 2015, 07:26 PM

in usa also not many people are buying bieb's album in stores... so he is selling the physical copies for $4 to beat 1d.. his album is kinda boring too.

Posted by: Hassaan Nov 16 2015, 07:27 PM

To be fair, no other winner had to release their album in a very busy week. The only hope is that One Direction & Justin Bieber's sales push up the overall sales so Ben could end up at, say, #7 but with a respectable total of 40-50k.

Even in the worst case scenario that Ben is dropped at some point next year I imagine that there would be at least someone willing to snap him up. He has far more charisma and likeability than Leon and Steve. Joe obviously went on Popstar to Operastar and is doing well for himself, will be interesting to see whether two years of touring will help his sales figures.

Posted by: MrIndependent Nov 16 2015, 07:42 PM

Hello and welcome! I hope that you enjoy your time here.

Is it being sold for $4 in US stores? I know that digital services such as Amazon MP3 and other online organisations sometimes sell records for a low price -- usually $3.99, or this may have changed since I last checked -- but there's an obligation that if an album is selling at too low of a price the sales coming from said organisation will not be counted towards the sale. I don't think it's a surprise at all that Purpose is selling more than Made in the A.M. in America.

Posted by: Beth Green Nov 16 2015, 07:47 PM

thanks.
its sold $4 with his concert tickets...but acc to billboard it will be counted..

Posted by: Beth Green Nov 16 2015, 07:50 PM

i think in north america biebs will be #1 for sure..
1d is not even 100% in the uk which is a shame.

Posted by: ElectroBoy Nov 16 2015, 07:53 PM

A blessing surely...

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 16 2015, 07:53 PM

1D will almost certainly be #1 here and Justin will take it in the US, although that's for another forum!

Posted by: ElectroBoy Nov 16 2015, 07:55 PM

It will come down to which act is more front loaded. Given Justin seems to have been Mr consistent with both his singles, I'd say he'll bridge the gap come friday and take it.

Posted by: *Callum Nov 16 2015, 08:01 PM

i'm nearly 100% sure that 1D should take the number one on upwards of 100k. justin should debut with a respectable 80-100k sales i reckon.

as for the us, now i think that chart battle could go either way. i'd say justin will take it but i should imagine the sales difference will be quite similar to that of over here.

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 16 2015, 08:02 PM

1D outsold Justin yesterday even with missing HMV sales so it doesn't seem like they're slowing down Justin may close the gap a bit but not significantly enough.

Posted by: Beth Green Nov 16 2015, 08:05 PM

i think biebs will get uk #1 in the last minute.maybe even in ireland. even though 1d's album is better.
he never had that many fans in the uk so its surprising..but he is promoting really well.

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 16 2015, 08:07 PM

There's currently a 14k gap between the two and 1D sold 2k more than Justin yesterday so I can't see the gap being closed within the remaining four days, 1D's sales won't collapse that much!

Posted by: John-James Nov 16 2015, 08:30 PM

The gap is going to be less than 10k

I never expected Justin to have any chance but seeing how close it is will be make the #2 debut disappointing

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 16 2015, 08:32 PM

I wouldn't call that close personally.

Posted by: slowdown73 Nov 16 2015, 09:45 PM

As much as I don't like Bieber, I'd be over the moon if he beats one direction and gets number one album this week though. Can't believe he has three songs in top 10 singles. When was the last time an artist did that?

Posted by: Mart!n Nov 16 2015, 10:01 PM

Madonna did it, Michael Jackson after he passed away as far as I can remember, there could be someone else.

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 16 2015, 10:04 PM

Rihanna, 5 years ago.

Michael Jackson didn't do it.

Posted by: Doctor Blind Nov 16 2015, 11:28 PM

Looks like One Direction will be selling less than Pink Floyd (139,351) and the total they managed for Four: 141,780 and likely the lowest debut to-date, previously Up All Night which sold 138,631 in its first frame back in 2011.

Diminishing returns and a pretty sorry looking albums market.

Posted by: gooddelta Nov 16 2015, 11:45 PM

It's obvious their star has faded slightly since Zayn's departure though so it's not exactly surprising to see lower sales, particularly considering the album is sonically a retread of everything that's gone before it. Had they taken some sort of major and interesting risk with their sound it might have appealed to more people (or indeed not and could have delivered them a complete flop album, at least the safe option bags them a few more hits )

Posted by: Chig66 Nov 17 2015, 12:22 AM

You could always include Sorry at #1 as well...

Posted by: vidcapper Nov 17 2015, 07:12 AM

With the likely massive cherry-picks/streams, Adele might do it next week...

Posted by: Bjork Nov 17 2015, 07:17 AM

guess Hello has more downloads but Sorry has more streams
what's the data on streams alone?

Posted by: Doctor Blind Nov 17 2015, 07:36 AM

Correct.

Streaming-only 'chart sales': 11.1K for JB, 6.9K for Adele.
Download sales: 23.6K for JB, 27.7K for Adele.

Posted by: SLlewellyn Nov 17 2015, 07:37 AM

A real testament to the quality of his new music seeing Justin Bieber looking to claim his second UK number-one just weeks after his first and really giving 1D a run for their money for the #1 album.

Posted by: Beth Green Nov 17 2015, 07:49 AM

adele will get #1 considering her album will be released soon. hello is much better anyway...sorry not sorry is boring.

Posted by: Beth Green Nov 17 2015, 07:56 AM

what quality -better PR with using selena's name to sell his music, fake crying on stage etc.
his singles are ok but other songs on his boring album are exactly the same.
he is a stream artist as he cannot get #1 without that..

Posted by: Bjork Nov 17 2015, 08:00 AM

thanks for the info, appreciated

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 17 2015, 08:03 AM

This is all opinion though, not fact. Let's not dismiss his fantastic sales as well as his huge streams. His music is "cool" to like these days so no wonder his success is huge now.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 17 2015, 10:39 AM

'Save a Prayer' is now #44 in the midweeks.

Posted by: bobmoo79 Nov 17 2015, 11:29 AM

Yeah the timing of Jackson's death meant that the sales were split badly across two weeks (he died on Thursday).
He still managed two in the Top10 at the same time - Man In The Mirror and Billie Jean were #2 and #10.
Thriller and Smooth Criminal were #12 and #13.
If he died a day or two earlier (or maybe later!) he could have easily had 3 or 4 singles in the top 10, including a #1 for Man In The Mirror.

Posted by: Heathyheath_ Nov 17 2015, 11:43 AM

I'd imagine they're not a lock to at least chart in the top 40, considering how well they're performing on iTunes right now, nice touch after Friday's events...

Posted by: Bré Nov 17 2015, 11:45 AM

Otherwise known as the kobbar strategy.

Posted by: SmileyKylie Nov 17 2015, 12:40 PM

Is Kylie still top 10 please?

Posted by: mowino Nov 17 2015, 12:46 PM

Who would have thought Sorry would dethrone Hello, after debuting #2 3 wks ago

Posted by: pippa Nov 17 2015, 02:42 PM

I would prefer Adele to get a 4th week rather than Justin Bieber dethroning her this week.

Posted by: Scene Nov 17 2015, 02:57 PM

I'm Team Adele this week. 'Hello' completely sh*ts on 'Sorry' as a song.

Posted by: TheGrinch Nov 17 2015, 03:10 PM

It wouldn't surprise me if Bieber climbed to #1 next week which is something I never thought I would support but this album is his big moment. I've never seen as much support for Bieber with the general public as much as I have now which doesn't surprise me considering he's released two incredible songs which have connected with much more people than even I anticipated.

Purpose is easily in my top 5 albums of the year and I never thought I would ever be saying that about a Bieber album, I do hope 'Love Yourself' is top 5 this week also because I'm beyond addicted.

Posted by: Robot Nov 17 2015, 03:12 PM

I would definitely be gobsmacked if Bieber climbed to #1 over Adele's first week!

Posted by: TheGrinch Nov 17 2015, 03:20 PM

Oops, I thought Adele was the following week, shows the amount of attention I've been paying!

Posted by: Knightr634 Nov 17 2015, 03:20 PM

Are you forgetting what album comes out on Friday?

Posted by: Umi Nov 17 2015, 04:02 PM

Personally I think it's just a continuation of the decline they were facing before Zayn left. They're just getting more and more fanbase-exclusive by the day really, and I think if anything that process has been a bit slowed down by Zayn leaving because that proved that they were still very relevant as a group. I think they're definitely taking a hiatus at the right time.

Mart!n - Madonna has never had 3 UK Top 10 Hits at the same time.

The closest she got was on W/E 10th August 1985 & W/E 17th August 1985.

She was at 1, 5, & 15 on 10th August & 1, 2, & 19 on 17th August.

That was with Into The Groove, Holiday & Crazy For You.

The only 2 Women to manage 3 simultaneous Top 10 Singles, are Ruby Murray, (1955),
& Rihanna, (2010 & 2011).

Sax is better than Sorry and Hello.

Posted by: slowdown73 Nov 17 2015, 08:09 PM

I'd prefer hello to remain at number one in singles but I'd be delighted if Bieber got number one album. The album sales don't seem that high and might only scrape 100k for top album this week.

Posted by: slowdown73 Nov 17 2015, 08:19 PM

According to folk on Say Hey, Kylie is no10 in albums today.

Posted by: James1987 Nov 17 2015, 08:20 PM

I agree! But its unlikely especially as Bieber is now number one on both iTunes and Spotify but I'm hoping it will be a one week wonder and Godele will claim her rightful position at the top next week!

I had the unpleasant chore of having to listen to Purpose as one of the girls put it on at work and was, in my opinion, awful but if he by some miracle, can stop 1D I'd be relatively

Posted by: pippa Nov 17 2015, 10:16 PM

If that is correct, Kylie has no chance of staying top 10.

Posted by: SmileyKylie Nov 17 2015, 11:04 PM

No hopefully it will stay top 15 with sales of 13-14k....

She has all her promo in December so hopefully it will sell consistently

1D sold 7.4k yesterday whereas JB sold 11.1k. Therefore Justin may have a chance of getting #1 - 1D are currently on track for 95k and JB is on track for 91k. Elvis will get #3 easily (outsold 1D too, with 9.1k yesterday).

By the way, 'Love Me Like You' is still at #13; Anastacia's GH is holding up nicely at #19.

Posted by: Rafael x Nov 18 2015, 02:10 PM

And what about their album tracks?

093. Wolves
099. Walking in the Wind *
100. I Want to Write You a Song *
106. Long Way Down *

I'm guessing that's every single track from both albums - would be quite extraordinary if all tracks could make the Top 100! That might have happened once before for one album but surely not two albums in the same week.

Posted by: Mangø Nov 18 2015, 02:18 PM

33% of the Top 100 consisting of 1D/Bieber tracks!!

I'm guessing 'Love Me Like You' will sadly fall a couple of places by Sunday, its streaming position seems to have taken a dive.

Even if Bieber is selling more than 1D now, I don't think he'll do enough to take the #1.

Posted by: Rafael x Nov 18 2015, 02:25 PM

Thanks

Posted by: Hadji Nov 18 2015, 02:26 PM

Justin Bieber - "Love Yourself" could overtake Fleur East by Friday and it looks like Jess Glynne will miss the top 5. Also, I hope Eagles Of Death Metal can push KSI or Ariana Grande out by Friday too

Posted by: liamk97 Nov 18 2015, 02:28 PM

Maybe not but it looks like it'll be much closer than anticipated. Obviously 1D will have streams missing but, looking at the performance of the album tracks, it would appear that Justin's album is getting streamed more so the current gap may be even smaller if all streams were added.

Posted by: gooddelta Nov 18 2015, 02:35 PM

Makes me think of a comment Olly made on the X Factor on Sunday (no, not the one to Monica).

He said something to 1D like: "so you're about to get your fourth No.1 album"

Maybe not, oops (although by the skin of their teeth they may just hang on).

Posted by: Noeyz Nov 18 2015, 02:37 PM

Who 's No.6 on album chart ? That's Ed ??
Love yourself is doing well even though it's not a Single.

Posted by: liamk97 Nov 18 2015, 02:38 PM

No, Rod Stewart. Ed is #10 (and, to complete the Top 10, Jess is #7).

Posted by: Joe. Nov 18 2015, 02:39 PM

No, he's #10. Rod is #6

Edit; Liam beat me to it!




Friday, you mean? Most streaming is added now, the main reason it's taken a dive is because about 10 Justin Bieber songs have overtaken it, it's actually looking to maybe get anew peak of #12, as it's now selling more than Sam Smith at #12.

Posted by: joes18 Nov 18 2015, 02:43 PM

little mix are doing better than I expected! great sales for them

Posted by: Bjork Nov 18 2015, 02:46 PM

where are Eagles of Death Metal?

Posted by: Regina Nov 18 2015, 02:50 PM

Ben still top 10 *.*

Posted by: gooddelta Nov 18 2015, 02:51 PM

Odd to see Ed falling following the release of the new edition but I guess it's sales will be a lot higher than last week. It looks like he released it just in time otherwise X would have finally fallen out of the top ten this week.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 18 2015, 02:51 PM

#51



I find it vaguely humorous that one of the very few weeks over the past year and a half where Ed and Sam have not been top 5 with their albums happen to be the weeks they both re-released.

Mariah is 149.

Posted by: Mangø Nov 18 2015, 02:51 PM

Oops, old habits die hard well it would be great if it could get a new peak!

Posted by: MrIndependent Nov 18 2015, 02:54 PM

It's also worth pointing out that the missing streams will contribute to Justin's album equivalent sales (the missing iTunes update on Monday's update has obviously done him some good in today's update too). All signs point towards Justin snatching it, and if he doesn't sales will be achingly close, and I feel for whichever of the two doesn't get the victory. Both albums deserve it.

Love Yourself will be at 3 on Friday. What Do You Mean? will be back at 4. Sax will drop to 5 and Take Me Home to 6... oops for Jess.

A perfectly valid example to show how streaming sales have stopped the dropping of digital sales, but also a taster of how it is improving album sales. We should all be for this instead of bashing streaming; whether you like or hate the artist(s) it's affecting doesn't matter: it's helping the market, especially the singles one, a lot.

Posted by: gooddelta Nov 18 2015, 02:56 PM

Indeed! Looks like deluxe editions have nowhere near the same impact they used to, both Sam's and Ed's look to add only around 6k to their usual weekly tally. Makes me wonder if Take That and Olly might 'only' go top 20 again with both of theirs next week.

Then again, Sam's would have done better if Writing's On The Wall had been on it while Ed's also doesn't seem to have any sort of chosen single to support it (probably because the new songs are filler imo but hey ho)

Posted by: pippa Nov 18 2015, 02:57 PM

Like Sam Smith, i expected the Ed Sheeran re-release to be much higher. One Direction will likely just about hold the number 1 by the skin of their teeth on what is also extremely disappointing sales.

Ben Haenow will just about (i am hoping) stay top 10 and Kylie will drop and will be lucky to stay top 15 officially (judging by sales, even Kylie's hardcore fans are not supporting this release).

Posted by: Hadji Nov 18 2015, 02:59 PM

#44 yesterday and #51 today when it's climbed to #6 on iTunes?

Posted by: pippa Nov 18 2015, 03:00 PM

Little Mix are holding up extremely well which is wonderful.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 18 2015, 03:03 PM

Yeah, because Saturday and Sunday's Spotify data was added, and ain't nobody streaming that song. It's totally stalled on iTunes now, anyway. It's chances of even being top 40 might be slim.

Posted by: Mangø Nov 18 2015, 03:10 PM

Yeah I'd say it's the lack of hit single in both cases

Posted by: SmileyKylie Nov 18 2015, 03:14 PM

How far is Kylie in 11th from 10th?

Posted by: Joe. Nov 18 2015, 03:16 PM

1320 - It's not looking possible this week.

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 18 2015, 03:34 PM

Kylie That girl just can't get any luck these days.

Hoping for Little Mix to get a new peak on Friday.

Posted by: zenon Nov 18 2015, 03:36 PM

Where's Lean On please?

Posted by: MrIndependent Nov 18 2015, 03:40 PM

The Beatles will overtake Kylie and she's looking at a #12 debut. She still has plenty of time before Christmas to repeak, though.

Ben will fall to #10 on Friday, and Andre Rieu will be 8 or 9, leaving Ed to the other position.

Posted by: sprock-93 Nov 18 2015, 03:41 PM

Anastacia?

Where do you think Sax will end up this week? I'm hoping it can stay top 3 but I'd guess 4th or maybe 5th even

Posted by: monai Nov 18 2015, 05:16 PM

Are duran duran still in top 200?thanks

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 18 2015, 05:18 PM

I can see Sax finishing at #5, with Love Yourself and What Do You Mean? overtaking (so Justin has three of the top 5 *.*!!!)

Nope!

Posted by: pippa Nov 18 2015, 05:26 PM

I fear Kylie will fall further than that, i would be surprised if she manages to re-peak at a later stage too. It would have been wonderful if Ben stayed ahead of Andre Rieu.

Posted by: Mangø Nov 18 2015, 06:07 PM

I know it's been mentioned that Rihanna was the last act to have three singles in the Top 10, but has ANY act ever had 3 singles in the Top 5 before?

would be ecstatic if bieber can snatch the #1 album from 1d at the last moment ~ however the slew of album tracks from both need to disappear asap!

Posted by: Bjork Nov 18 2015, 07:59 PM

how far is Bieber's WDYM from the top 5? could he make it?

Posted by: JosephStyles Nov 18 2015, 08:02 PM

He'll almost certainly overtake Jess Glynne, and possibly Fleur East too, so I can see it getting back up to #4! (with Love Yourself at #3)

Posted by: slowdown73 Nov 18 2015, 08:28 PM

I feel sorry for Kylie. Last week, she would have easily made top 10 albums with her sales so far this week. It's a shame cos its a great sounding album. Hopefully it will repeak but I doubt it unless she has more success with a future single.

Posted by: Dobbo Nov 18 2015, 08:49 PM

OMG yes Justin! best #1 of the year incoming.

Posted by: pippa Nov 18 2015, 08:56 PM

Kylie needed to do much more promotion if she was to achieve top 10. I love Kylie but success will be harder and harder to achieve. A release like her current one especially needs extra promotion as it is the style of album that needs as much promotion as possible.

Posted by: Doctor Blind Nov 18 2015, 09:05 PM

Never happened.

The Beatles and Madonna have been at 1 and 2 at the same time though, which is arguably more impressive.

Being #1 and #2 is more impressive than being #1, #3 and #4?

Posted by: Doctor Blind Nov 18 2015, 09:28 PM

Well yes, in those days you didn't rely on people streaming an album in order to generate sales.

Posted by: Dobbo Nov 18 2015, 09:29 PM

Well he did said "arguably"

Both are incredible achievements just for sheer fact of how rare they are. However looking to the future it's not completely unfeasible that a huge act will lock out the top 3 or even 5 when streaming is making up 90% of total sales.

Posted by: Doctor Blind Nov 18 2015, 09:31 PM

I fully expect at some point in the future a highly anticipated album will come out and make up the entire Top 10 because sales will have declined to such an extent by that point, that just by virtue of people listening to the entire album in order, that will generate ' a Top 10' . Who knows it may happen with Adele next week?!

Posted by: John-James Nov 18 2015, 09:32 PM

Very true, apologies

Posted by: Chig66 Nov 18 2015, 09:46 PM

TRIVIA CORNER:
It looks like three of this week's top 10 albums will be by orchestras.
(I'm taking the liberty of expanding ELO to their full name, even if it really is just Jeff Lynne...!)

Posted by: Danvember Nov 18 2015, 09:50 PM

Very unlikely , although we still don't know if '25' will be instantly going to Spotify. I imagine if it does the whole album will go top 75 but only a few tracks if it's not on Spotify. (and if I had to guess I'd say she probably won't put in there in order to maximise sales)

Posted by: Joe. Nov 18 2015, 09:56 PM

I'm actually hoping the rumours of Adele initially holding her entire album from Spotify is correct for that very reason.

Posted by: gooddelta Nov 18 2015, 09:59 PM

Though it may have sold less last week by virtue of being further away from Xmas than this week is.

Posted by: André Nov 18 2015, 10:23 PM

Hits Daily Double is reporting Adele herself wants her album on Spotify because she doesn't want TSwift-like controversies. Idk what the final decision will be though.

Posted by: The Hit Parade Nov 18 2015, 10:51 PM

John Lennon was at 1, 3 & 5 for a week shortly after his death:

Throwing it out there... These Justin songs all sound pretty similar - i.e. mediocre. I've completely missed something, clearly.

It was the minimum of what I expected.

Posted by: Common Sense Nov 18 2015, 11:59 PM

I expected Top 10 tbh but could yet climb nearer Xmas.

Posted by: Joe. Nov 19 2015, 12:07 AM

I don't think it'll manage top ten, but with promo near Christmas I think it'll have a few weeks top 20 and go gold, easily. Like Leona's.

Some aliases in this thread? I don't know how you can say 'Sorry' is boring?!

Posted by: Zárate Nov 19 2015, 10:04 AM

^ easily. I listened to the whole album and I'd say I only really kinda liked 'What do you mean?' That said, its audience is for sure very wide now, because relying just on "adolescent teenage girls" you won't spend three weeks at #2 with very consistent sales and then climb to #1 on 4th week overtaking no more no less Adele's comeback single!

Posted by: Mangø Nov 19 2015, 10:23 AM

To say that Justin Bieber only appeals to teenage girls is laughable! That may have once been the case but his appeal is so much more widespread these days. I'm definitely #teamsorry this week!

Posted by: bobmoo79 Nov 19 2015, 10:26 AM

If I'm honest I find the songs on Bieber's album are similar but it makes the album coherent.

You only have to read the music press to see that Bieber has evolved out of a teeny bopper artist to something more mainstream. I would say this is his time right now. If not this album then his next will be his career peak. Guarantee it.
1D clearly haven't been able to make the same leap as Bieber and are still a teenage girls band and have fallen from their peak (although they were bigger at their peak than Bieber is now.)

I have to say that I find Adele way over rated. She had some good songs, but generally her albums are boring. 'Hello' is a perfect example - just boring as hell. The only way I can listen to that is if it's the Kiss FM remix. Much better.

Posted by: torresgirl Nov 19 2015, 10:53 AM

I agree, although every artist may appeal more to a certain group I am in my early forties and have downloaded a couple of his songs.

Posted by: SmileyKylie Nov 19 2015, 10:59 AM

I agree. Doubt Kylie will get top 10 now in its chart run but if it can keep top 40 for 6 weeks of Xmas then it should sell ok.

She has lots of promo coming up in December and hopefully give a few pricing strategies etc + release of the vinyl album in 27th November could grab a few extra sales.

Posted by: MrIndependent Nov 19 2015, 11:21 AM

Hello is a stunning song (as is Sorry) but how Adele fans can say that Sorry is boring and Hello isn't baffles me. Which song is better in terms of quality is subjective, but clearly the more boring song is Hello.

Posted by: Bré Nov 19 2015, 11:43 AM

Bieber is bigger now than he has been before because he's managed to extend his appeal and get people to take him seriously while also not alienating the teenage girl fanbase. Although based on recent incidents / stories about him, it seems he might WANT to alienate those people (who can blame him?)

Posted by: Noeyz Nov 19 2015, 12:42 PM

Surprised with JB 's sales .I don't think he 's doing well like that
JB has 2 big hits in this era while 1D didn't have a big hit .Their singles are only front-loaded
If i 'm not mistake ,JB has yet promoted his album in UK right ??

Posted by: slowdown73 Nov 19 2015, 03:00 PM

It might have sold less but we'll never know that. The point I was making is based on Kylie's album sales this week, it would have been enough for top 10 album last week.

Looks like One Direction will beat Bieber by around 3,000

Bieber have three songs top 5 is an absolute fantastic achievement, I'm going to guess One Direction will have bigger sales over Bieber but Bieber's streaming is making him close the gap much quicker.

Bieber having three songs top 5 though come tomorrow! When was the last time this was done?

Her sales have dropped by about 150. She sold just over 1k yesterday. 14,636 sold so far. It's be a top 5 album outside Q4

As said earlier, it hasn't been done before

Kylie's sold just over 150 copies less than she did yesterday (still over 1k though), so she's quite stable right now! (oops, beaten by Joe)

I'm sure Kylie will have multiple weeks in the top 20, and sell a good amount. It's bound to be a big Christmas buy for casual listeners .

btw how is ellies album doing?

Posted by: Cauldron Nov 19 2015, 04:09 PM

Sorry is so 2015. Sounds like Years and Years wrote it. It's ok but because there's precious little of Justin's personality in it that it sounds anonymous. At least Hello has Adele's stamp on it.

Sold 1584 yesterday and is still at #13, pretty disappointing sales for her, but she should manage a couple more weeks top 20 without promo.

One D won't hit 100k then.

Just wondered how much of a gap there is between Ben and Kylie?

What are his chances of clinging for dear life to top 10 pls?

Wow at Justin's top 5 occupancy! *.*

Did you not read the part of the thread where it said John Lennon did it in 1980?

Several Bieber tracks set to pepper the lower end of the top 40 based mainly off streams - this is like what people predicted would happen when downloads started being included in the chart, except actually happening.

Posted by: Skylar16 Nov 19 2015, 04:33 PM

Wait... if we were supposed to do simple math from Wed to Thur update:

1D sold 85.5k - 80.7k = 4.8k sold by 1D

JB sold 78k - 68.9k = 9.1k sold by JB

So, now Justin is outselling 1D and outsold them by 4k almost twice their sales. Yikes! I bet next week Justin will beat them in sales.

Sorry to be repetitive but does it look more likely Sax will stay 4th now?

Posted by: dandy* Nov 19 2015, 04:44 PM

I'm really impressed by how well Sorry is doing. I'd have preferred Adele to have held on this week but it's clear that Sorry has turned into a genuinely popular hit and it deserves it's time at the top.

Where's Anastacia, and any sales info?

Posted by: TheGrinch Nov 19 2015, 04:52 PM

Slay ha pompous joseph.

Posted by: #psychic7 Nov 19 2015, 05:17 PM

I can see those three Bieber tracks all remaining Top 5 next week also, 'Love Yourself' still has very strong streaming numbers plus Now 92's release next week should give 'What Do You Mean?' a nice boost

Posted by: Rafael x Nov 19 2015, 05:22 PM

1D's tracks?

Posted by: Doctor Blind Nov 19 2015, 06:37 PM

She looks pretty safe at #4.



“Perfect” #10
“Drag Me Down” #35
“History” #68
“Olivia” #71
“End Of The Day” #73

Then loads of album tracks outside the T75 including their tribute to Scott Mills “Love You Goodbye” at #78 and the lowest is appropriately enough “Long Way Down” at #107.

Where is Love Me Like You currently? All I want is for it to go top 10!

Posted by: slowdown73 Nov 19 2015, 07:04 PM

I can't see her doing that well. As an artist, she is really in decline. The first single has bombed and not much radio play. I think the album will drop a fair bit next week and struggle to recover.

Posted by: Regina Nov 19 2015, 07:07 PM

TBF Only You isn't really a proper single, she just put it out there to gather some buzz and ensure one of the songs was getting some plays.

Posted by: Doctor Blind Nov 19 2015, 08:08 PM

Still where it was last week and pretty much zero chance of Top 10 I'm afraid.

Posted by: Bjork Nov 19 2015, 08:10 PM

actually it was in 1981 when John Lennon managed to get 3 songs in the top 5. he also did it during 2 consecutive weeks

10 Jan 1981
1- IMAGINE- John Lennon
2- HAPPY CHRISTMAS (WAR IS OVER)- John Lennon & Yoko Ono
3- STOP THE CAVALRY- Jona Lewie
4- ANTMUSIC- Adam & The Ants
5- (JUST LIKE) STARTING OVER- John Lennon

17 Jan 1981
1- IMAGINE- John Lennon
2- ANTMUSIC- Adam & The Ants
3- HAPPY CHRISTMAS (WAR IS OVER)- John Lennon & Yoko Ono
4- DO NOTHING/ MAGGIE’S FARM- The Specials

What time do they stop counting sales for this weeks chart?
Was it midnight last night?
Or sometime today?
