James Arthur looks set to make it a month at #1 after increasing to over 100k last week, whilst new entries to the chart should include Maroon 5's 'Don't Wanna Know' (feat. Kendrick Lamar), The Vamps & Matoma's 'All Night' and Little Mix's 'Shout Out to My Ex' (the latter released on Sunday following their performance on the X Factor Results Show). The likes of Hailee Steinfeld & Grey's 'Starving' (feat. Zedd) and NEIKED's 'Sexual' (feat. Dyo) should also continue climbing the Top 40.

Kings of Leon seem set to reach #1 with a fifth consecutive studio album, WALLS, leading a collection of new entries from the likes of Tom Chaplin (lead of Keane), Rebecca Ferguson, Two Door Cinema Club, Katie Melua, Phil Collins, Beth Hart and Blackberry Smoke. Oasis should re-enter with Be Here Now following the release of a deluxe box set featuring re-mastered bonus content.

These artists all have albums in the Amazon Top 10 new releases: Beth Hart, Blackberry Smoke, Katie Melua, Kings of Leon, Oasis (re-release), Phil Collins, Pink Floyd (re-release), Rebecca Ferguson, Tom Chaplin and Two Door Cinema Club. Just to give an indication as to what the new entries to the Top 10 are, according to what Mint Royale tweeted.

Edit: In fact, Mint Royale has just revealed this: https://twitter.com/MintRoyale/status/787240724723105793

This is what I've worked out, but I don't know what Mint is basing the album tallies on (studio albums? all albums? Top 40 albums?). I can't work out where Phil Collins or Pink Floyd should be.

1 Kings of Leon
2 Tom Chaplin
3 Oasis
4 Two Door Cinema Club
5 Beth Hart
6 Blackberry Smoke
7 Rebecca Ferguson
8 Katie Melua

12 Green Day

Posted by: timjimlee 15th October 2016, 11:08 AM

Mint Royale does make a good point re Debut Albums - Tom Chaplin's Album will, however, still be classified as a Debut Album despite his Keane past.
Should be an easy number 1 for Kings of Leon, the race for number 2 a bit more unpredictable.

Posted by: girl_from_oz 15th October 2016, 11:40 AM

Alongside those 8 albums mentioned above, Phil Collins should be in top ten along with maybe Hillsong Worship who are doing well on ITunes, The Pink Floyd album isn't out to November

Posted by: No Sleeep 15th October 2016, 01:08 PM

I hope JoJo can at least make top 40

Posted by: Mart!n 15th October 2016, 01:13 PM

ah... I get it, I just couldn't figure it out, so who has 27 albums it can't be Elvis

Posted by: Cremey 15th October 2016, 01:15 PM

Hillsong Worship apparently!

Posted by: timjimlee 15th October 2016, 03:06 PM

Number 11 must be Barry Gibb then ? (22 Beegees Albums + 2 solo Albums)

A little Surprised Bob Dylan did not get a boost into the Top 40 after publicity of his Nobel Prize win.

Posted by: cqmerqn 15th October 2016, 03:30 PM

Where are OneRepublic then? Not 29/30 surely!

Posted by: Suedehead2 15th October 2016, 04:58 PM

My fun fact will have to wait for the next new Dylan album then

Posted by: timjimlee 16th October 2016, 08:44 AM

Not sure when he will next have new material out but he is managing to fit in a Live Box Set and a Live Album before the end of the year - ones for the completists

Posted by: Suedehead2 16th October 2016, 10:34 AM

If either of them make the top forty then the fun fact will be revealed

Posted by: timjimlee 16th October 2016, 01:01 PM

Suspect we may have to wait a while longer for that fun fact. For someone that has all ready Released at least 10 Live Albums the new Albums will probably only get to the lower reaches of Top 100 (sales are low at moment but given the number of new Albums getting Released each week they will struggle to make any impact).

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 16th October 2016, 05:11 PM

Looking forward to seeing Monday's update - it will be interesting to see where all the new tracks are placed

Posted by: vidcapper 17th October 2016, 08:53 AM

I'm confused - if they're new entries, then by definition they must be debuting on the chart?

Posted by: Suedehead2 17th October 2016, 08:56 AM

I assume he's referring to debut albums - making roughly the same point as the one I made in Friday's commentary. We are getting lots of new albums in the chart, but they are from established artists.

Posted by: BigMixer 17th October 2016, 09:25 AM

Shout Out To My Ex needs to be added in the OP!

Posted by: Joe. 17th October 2016, 09:36 AM

It's already mentioned. But it'll most likely be featured next week since it's a huge contender for #1

Posted by: Joe. 17th October 2016, 11:09 AM

Mint Royale has confirmed Little Mix are #14 in the midweeks.

Posted by: shindymindy 17th October 2016, 11:09 AM

Apparently they are number 14 on the UK charts already after only Sunday nights sales.

Using today's update, this is what I've worked out the Top 15 as:

1 Kings of Leon (7 albums)
2 Tom Chaplin (5 albums: 4 with Keane, 1 solo)
3 Oasis (7 albums)
4 Two Door Cinema Club (3 album)
5 Phil Collins (9 albums: 8 studio albums and presumably including the Tarzan soundtrack)
6 Blackberry Smoke (5 albums)
7 Rebecca Ferguson (4 albums)
8 Katie Melua (7 albums)
9 Beth Hart (12 albums)
10 John Cooper Clarke (6 albums)

11 Barry Gibb (24 albums: 22 with Bee Gees, 2 solo)
12 Green Day (12 albums)
13 David Teie (1 album)
14 The Shires (2 albums)
15 Hillsong Worship (27 albums)

Posted by: Bjork 17th October 2016, 01:26 PM

but it's true what Minty says, this year there has been no new act breaking big, in recent years we've had all those new UK singer songwriters like James Bay, George Ezra, Emeli Sande, Sam Smith and of course Ed Sheeran that were selling consistently throughout the year, also pop acts like Jess Glynne or Years & Years... but no one this year that I can think of

Posted by: Mart!n 17th October 2016, 02:25 PM

Looks like Oasis could take #2 who wants a repackaged album , at least KoL have a sizeable lead, 55k is probably doable for the week.

Little Mix are probably looking at a top 3 finish and chasing for the #1 next week, they are just over 10k, not bad for 4 hours.

Posted by: JosephStyles 17th October 2016, 02:29 PM

And that 10k for Little Mix is 100% from sales, as the Spotify/Apple Music data for yesterday is missing!

Posted by: Rafael x 17th October 2016, 02:37 PM

I wonder if Niall is #12 or #15

Posted by: Mart!n 17th October 2016, 02:38 PM

On the #15 bus, wherever that takes you

Posted by: Hassaan 17th October 2016, 02:39 PM

Considering their lead on iTunes, I'll be surprised if Little Mix aren't #1. That lead might make up for what they lack in streaming (although I'm sure they'll add on a fair amount in that medium as well).

Posted by: ★Rob S~ 17th October 2016, 02:46 PM

Very exciting update *.* I'd hope & can see every one of those climbers/new entries holding up except for maybe The Vamps. Be funny if they drop out in favour of Shawn Mendes

G'won Hailee & Little Mix tho

Posted by: Envoirment 17th October 2016, 03:39 PM

That's excellent!

With their current lead on iTunes they should be able to get to #4 or #5 by the end of the week. Whether they get to #2 or #3 will depend on how fast their lead on iTunes decreases (which won't start until later today I believe) and how quickly their streaming builds up (looks like quickly after entering #54 with ~4 hours yesterday).

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 17th October 2016, 03:53 PM

Hope all those new entries can stay in, I guess The Vamps is the most unstable but maybe it could scrape Top 40?

Posted by: sajjadali 17th October 2016, 03:58 PM

Wow that's not great for Rebecca, it's a superb album. Any sales?
I expected her to be 3-4 and then drop off in the week but she's already at a low position. She might not even be Top 10 at this rate!

Posted by: liamk97 17th October 2016, 04:00 PM

She'll be safe for Top 10 I reckon. She's over the 5k mark and outsold three of the albums above her yesterday.

Posted by: JosephStyles 17th October 2016, 04:01 PM

Rebecca won't have any problems staying top 10, she might even climb from the mids!

The Vamps' position in the top 40 singles is less secure, it's hard to tell really but I expect they'll just miss out unfortunately.

Posted by: Hadji 17th October 2016, 04:01 PM

Hope The Vamps and Galantis can stay top 40

Posted by: liamk97 17th October 2016, 04:06 PM

Did they release a physical this week or is that happening later (if there is one)?

Posted by: JosephStyles 17th October 2016, 04:10 PM

Physical pre-order begins tomorrow and is out 4th November! So there's a short while yet, seems they're hoping this will happen on its own (not a bad move after how Wake Up fared after the physicals were released in week 1 )

Posted by: Regina 17th October 2016, 04:36 PM

Tom looking set for a top 3 debut *.* really happy, album of the year tbh, he delivered such a stunning album.

Posted by: Yorkie3 17th October 2016, 04:58 PM

James Arthur had just under half of his chart sales last week from pure sales - therefore although Little Mix have knocked him down to 0.3 on iTunes he's probably still selling only a little slower than them in total. They'll need to keep their current lead all week plus make large gains on streaming before Friday to have a hope of #1 this week... Hope that happens though, it's nice having a song debut at the top occasionally!

Posted by: Hadji 17th October 2016, 05:00 PM

LM would have definitely got #1 this Friday had they released last Friday. Oh well, they should definitely go #1 next week. Chart would look fresher if "Crank It" and "Controlla" switched places

Posted by: timjimlee 17th October 2016, 05:18 PM

Interesting to see "Skylarking" reissue by XTC appear at number 98 in the Album Chart update.
Originally peaked at number 90 30 years ago so unlikely to improve on that...

Seeing the Album in the chart update reminds me of the 3 singles from the Album that made it into the chart: "Grass" got to number 100, "The Meeting Place" also got to number 100 and third single "Dear God" (which was previously B-Side to "Grass") got to 99. There's a level of consistency (admittedly with low sales) rarely seen...

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 17th October 2016, 05:23 PM

Crank It at #41. I desparately want this to go Top 40 (and Controlla to not)

Posted by: truly talented 17th October 2016, 05:39 PM

Great to see Tom Chaplin at #2 in the album chart.

Posted by: 360Jupiter 17th October 2016, 06:29 PM

Zara Larsson I guess.

To a lesser extent, Anne Marie, Christine and the Queens and Shura. I know Christine was established, but not in the UK.

Posted by: girl_from_oz 17th October 2016, 06:42 PM

Christine and The Queens and Blosoms are the only new acts to really breakthrough in the albums this year

Posted by: cqmerqn 17th October 2016, 06:45 PM

Who the heck is Shura?

Posted by: Mart!n 17th October 2016, 06:48 PM

Google is your best friend

Posted by: pippa 17th October 2016, 06:57 PM

I dont like the new Vamps single at all, its extremely forgettable. I would be delighted if Katie Melia can hold her album top 10 position but i would believe it will be touch and go.

Ideally Little Mix will go number 1 with Shout Out To My Ex but its probably unlikely this week despite getting off to an extremely strong start, i will be very disappointed if they dont end the week top 3.

Posted by: nettoron 17th October 2016, 07:22 PM

I'm sure that LM will debut at #1, it's selling 3 times more than James on iTunes, and 80k plays with only 4 hours on spotify

Posted by: cqmerqn 17th October 2016, 07:24 PM

Yeah I'm 90% sure that LM will debut number one!

Posted by: SKOB 17th October 2016, 08:03 PM

Not a fan of Shout Out to My Ex but I guess it'll appeal Little Mix's fanbase well enough to have a week at no 1 or 2

Posted by: Joe. 18th October 2016, 10:01 AM

Minty has confirmed Little Mix are now #2 in the midweeks.

Posted by: shindymindy 18th October 2016, 10:06 AM

Wow - massive

Posted by: caseclosed 18th October 2016, 10:08 AM

I think it's fair to say it's been one of the songs that most appealed beyond their fanbase thus far.

Let's now form a circle of prayer. I'm nervous.

Posted by: Mart!n 18th October 2016, 10:09 AM

Well... blow me down Awesome... okay #1 is possible than. Anything better than James Arthur

Posted by: honeyG 18th October 2016, 10:09 AM

Really hope they demolish James Arthur on the charts this weekend. I was really concerned he'd end up being a 7 week chart topper so glad that isn't happening.

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 18th October 2016, 10:10 AM

I think this could actually take #1 friday, #2 in charts already, #4 on Spotify with over 400k, 70% Lead on iTunes, #1 on other download stores.

I think it will be close with missing pretty much 3 days of sales/streams but I think its very possible for them to debut at #1 on Friday.

Posted by: Mart!n 18th October 2016, 10:12 AM

Same here, the lord has answered your prayers

Posted by: Karma 18th October 2016, 10:21 AM

What was the last song to debut at #1? Can't remember lol it may have been recently..

Posted by: Joe. 18th October 2016, 10:21 AM

I THINK It was Pillowtalk.

Posted by: Defaze 18th October 2016, 10:21 AM

'Cold Water'.

Posted by: Karma 18th October 2016, 10:22 AM

Thanks guys! Hats off to Little Mix if they do it. This campaign has started perfectly from them. Wonder if they could get their first #1 album too..I'm sure that is a main aim for them now. Of course this will be really tough with so many big albums coming out next month!

Posted by: Bjork 18th October 2016, 10:22 AM

Wow impressive
And i imagine this is with Mon streams missing
As per usual

Posted by: Joe. 18th October 2016, 10:23 AM

Oh, of course!

Posted by: Mart!n 18th October 2016, 10:24 AM

Was just about to say that, I think straight in at #1s are not going to be very common like they used to be.

Posted by: Karma 18th October 2016, 10:25 AM

Definitely. Even though he didn't, I feel like James Arthur went straight in at #1 because the song just blew up from nowhere so quickly!

Posted by: Hadji 18th October 2016, 10:30 AM

Would be a miracle if LM go straight to #1 on Friday as it's unlikely that a song can go #1 these days with only 5 days of sales. They'll definitely go #1 next week though

Posted by: OutstandingMixer 18th October 2016, 10:36 AM

Posted by: Karma 18th October 2016, 10:39 AM

Yeah I think it's going to be very tough. Even though they have a great lead - James Arthur is killing it. Wow two X Factor champions battling for #1, I didn't think i'd see this happen 2016..

Posted by: Mart!n 18th October 2016, 10:47 AM

At the moment James has got the streaming edge over Little Mix, its still going to be close, they need that #1 on spotify with a good sizeable lead but killing it on downloads I'm assuming. 2016 has been full of surprises, who would have thought James Arthur would get #1, and Drake staying on top forever.

Posted by: PeaceMob 18th October 2016, 12:27 PM

Little Mix's popularity just seem to get bigger and bigger with every album campaign which is pretty impressive, I think they might just debut at No 1, I thought James Arthur's song was gonna be number 1 for at least 5 weeks so I'm glad that doesn't look like that's happening.

Posted by: Jamesy 18th October 2016, 12:55 PM

I really really hope they debut at number 1. One because they deserve it and two because I can't abide James Arthur.

Posted by: Hadji 18th October 2016, 02:12 PM

It could be the first time than an X Factor winner gets knocked off the top by another X Factor winner. Not counting Alexandra Burke's winning single knocking Leona Lewis off #1 in 2008

Posted by: jakewild 18th October 2016, 02:13 PM

so not the first time then

lol

Posted by: Hadji 18th October 2016, 02:15 PM

I meant the first time an X Factor winner knocks another X Factor winner off the top which doesn't involve the winning singles

Posted by: omrimayo 18th October 2016, 02:15 PM

They just announced that the video to SOTMEX is out this Friday... So if not this week, I think next week is for sure.

Posted by: Envoirment 18th October 2016, 02:36 PM

Wow! Looks like Little Mix should get to #1 this week then - their lead on iTunes has continued to increase and their streaming is off to a massive start. Video being out friday should mean it could have a few weeks at #1.

Little Mix are EASILY coming for #1 this week it seems! Sold double James yesterday.

The Vamps couuuld make top 40 still, they're selling consistently day to day and are a fair bit ahead of Drake at #40 right now but it could be touch and go.

Posted by: Jonjo 18th October 2016, 03:39 PM

WOW! Is it too premature to say Game. Set. Match. For Little Mix?

Posted by: Mart!n 18th October 2016, 03:41 PM

Now that's looking more doable, 4% are streams added.

Posted by: ★Rob S~ 18th October 2016, 03:42 PM

Yasssssss bye bye goes James reign. Quicker than expected

Is Hailee safe to keep top 5 this week?

Posted by: John-James 18th October 2016, 03:43 PM

Where's OneRepublic's album?

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 18th October 2016, 03:44 PM

For a moment then I thought you meant One Dance and was happy

Posted by: JosephStyles 18th October 2016, 03:45 PM

Yeah absolutely no doubt that Little Mix will be #1 this week. At the current rate, James is set for 87k, Little Mix are set for 107k, and that's without factoring in the HUGE increase in streams they had today!

She'll quite safely keep #5!


#15!

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 18th October 2016, 03:46 PM

Barry Gibb & Van Morrison please?

Posted by: Mart!n 18th October 2016, 03:46 PM

scratch that... oops. I'm off

Posted by: JosephStyles 18th October 2016, 03:47 PM

#10 and #39!

Posted by: Karma 18th October 2016, 03:53 PM

One Republic album should be top 10! So good.

Posted by: cqmerqn 18th October 2016, 04:04 PM

So it's 100% for LM?

Posted by: Rafael x 18th October 2016, 04:07 PM

Niall still at #15?

Posted by: JosephStyles 18th October 2016, 04:09 PM

Yup!

Posted by: Addy K!ng 18th October 2016, 04:10 PM

I haven't listen to LM new single yet but they really are BIG right now...congrats to them.

Posted by: Joe. 18th October 2016, 04:16 PM

Unless they drastically fall on iTunes and Spotify, looks like it.

Posted by: Herbs 18th October 2016, 04:16 PM

Great to see james arthur got four weeks at least! Is passenger top 30 on albums?

Posted by: Addy K!ng 18th October 2016, 04:17 PM

oh and Zara news please

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 18th October 2016, 04:20 PM

Looks like its in the bag for Little Mix then!

Posted by: JosephStyles 18th October 2016, 04:24 PM

He's had 3 weeks, won't be getting a 4th! Passenger is just outside the top 30!


#17!

Posted by: XhannahlongX 18th October 2016, 04:25 PM

YES to Little Mix! What a campaign👏🏼

Posted by: Herbs 18th October 2016, 04:46 PM

Oops!

Posted by: Bjork 18th October 2016, 05:13 PM

not sure if i get it right, you guys mentioned LM were on 10K yesterday, so that means they did 24K today? that's crazy, especially considering streaming data is always one day behind reporting so this should be the downloads from Monday + the streams from those 4 hours on Sunday but those 24K shouldn't include the big streams from Monday (up to #4 on Spotify), right?

Posted by: JosephStyles 18th October 2016, 05:19 PM

Correct!

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 18th October 2016, 05:20 PM

Do you think Little Mix will finish with a decent lead on Friday joseph or be close like 1k or less between it.

Posted by: Scene 18th October 2016, 05:22 PM

Well done Little Mix. Those sales! Thank God for LM otherwise we'd have to deal with JA being number one for months.

Posted by: Joe. 18th October 2016, 05:30 PM

If things carry on as they are Little Mix will open with significantly more than James.

Posted by: JosephStyles 18th October 2016, 05:31 PM

Yeah as Joe said, there'll be a big lead I think! Not even close

Posted by: Davidson 18th October 2016, 05:53 PM

Sad JoJo won't keep top 40 albums, would have loved to see her scrape in there. I thought when I saw 'f*** Apologies' go top 40 on iTunes and then 'Mad Love' up at #08 on the iTunes album chart that she might have a chance.

So many great albums missing the top 40 albums chart the last few weeks even though sales so low

Posted by: jakewild 18th October 2016, 05:55 PM

jojo

what better way to knock james off the top tho

Posted by: scratchy23 18th October 2016, 06:06 PM

First #1 with a female lead since ADELE - HELLO. Crazy

Posted by: timjimlee 18th October 2016, 06:41 PM

Little Mix on "The One Show" tomorrow, another boost for them

Posted by: cqmerqn 18th October 2016, 06:50 PM

YESSS!!!

Posted by: shindymindy 18th October 2016, 07:11 PM

I think they will have a 20k+ lead by Friday.

Incredible achievement really.

Posted by: sprock-93 18th October 2016, 07:49 PM

norah jones?

Posted by: JosephStyles 18th October 2016, 07:59 PM

#37!

Posted by: pippa 18th October 2016, 08:16 PM

Big drop for Noarah Jones, im getting tired of album making a top 10 debut and falling rapidly in week 2. I did think Norah would drop but thought she would achieve a top 30 position.

Posted by: andeeeeyhart 18th October 2016, 08:38 PM

Loving how we're pretty much all united in wanting Little Mix to get rid of James.

Posted by: Juranamo 18th October 2016, 08:57 PM

Dare I ask if anyone knows where Feeder have fallen to, so far?

Posted by: Mart!n 18th October 2016, 08:59 PM

You are going to wish you didn't ask, not top 100

Posted by: Steve201 18th October 2016, 11:25 PM

First new entry at no1 since Zayn??

Posted by: JosephStyles 18th October 2016, 11:33 PM

Cold Water!

Posted by: Steve201 18th October 2016, 11:38 PM

Ah indeed, thought it jumped up the chart quickly!

Posted by: Karma 19th October 2016, 10:40 AM

Little Mix are going to do it. Wow, big moment for them. They have really done well for themselves.

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 19th October 2016, 10:52 AM

Little mix are massive at the moment, I wouldn't be surprised if they pull #1 album against Bruno next month to be honest with you. Up to #2 on streaming today nearly 500k spotify and only 10k behind James, Could be #1 on streaming tomorrow.

Posted by: Joe. 19th October 2016, 10:55 AM

Little Mix sold a little less than Monday, yesterday but are 5k behind today.

Posted by: cqmerqn 19th October 2016, 10:57 AM

So they'll probably grab no.1?

Posted by: JosephStyles 19th October 2016, 11:05 AM

If the info we've got is correct (bear in mind it's not the full update we normally have, just whispers from other forums), then James is on for 84k and Little Mix are on for 97k!

Posted by: Karma 19th October 2016, 11:09 AM

Yeah think they have it in the bag now - amazing stuff.

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 19th October 2016, 11:09 AM

Do we get an update tomorrow? I guess if we do Little Mix will be #1 in tomorrow's update, They have the One Show tonight & This Morning tomorrow I believe, Should give them a little extra boost in sales.

I thought it be close but if it looks like Little Mix will have a 13k lead by Friday that is incredible since they missed 3 days of sales and streaming.

Posted by: Mart!n 19th October 2016, 11:29 AM

Today we should get a Top 40 update from MW, and hopefully from other sources as well for today and tomorrow, fingers and toes crossed.

And its nice to have a fast and chatty long topic on the mids, in the past few weeks the topic has been a bit thin on the ground, I just wish more big acts release new music.

Posted by: Scene 19th October 2016, 12:07 PM

Most already have this year - Rihanna, GaGa, Beyonce, Ariana, Bruno... 2016 just isn't the year for pop domination it seems. There's Taylor Swift potentially but I don't care too much about her music. What's Miley doing, come to think of it? Her last big pop era was three years ago and the last I read about her was her Dead Petz.

OT: I can't remember the last time an act released later in the chart week and still nabbed the #1.

Posted by: Hayzayy 19th October 2016, 12:12 PM

I was hoping Rebecca Ferguson could go top 5 with "Superwoman", such a great album!
Top 10 is still good for her but I hope it doesn't tumble next week.

Posted by: liamk97 19th October 2016, 12:45 PM

There's still a good chance she will at this stage!

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 19th October 2016, 12:46 PM

Go top 5 or tumble next week?

Posted by: danG 19th October 2016, 12:46 PM

Eminem feat. Rihanna 'The Monster', back in 2013.

Posted by: Scene 19th October 2016, 12:53 PM

Omg that's crazy. I wasn't sure whether 'Hello' was released midweek but I was probably mixing it up with 'Skyfall'.

Posted by: liamk97 19th October 2016, 12:55 PM

Go Top 5. She was the fifth best selling album on Monday (Tuesday's update), outselling three albums above her.

Posted by: Mack 19th October 2016, 01:08 PM

'Hello' was released on the Friday.

I'm rooting for Little Mix to get the #1 spot now. When was the last time we had an X Factor Top2 in the charts?

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 19th October 2016, 01:32 PM

Probably Leona Lewis - Run and Alexandra Burke's winners single that's last time I can remember back in 2008.

Posted by: Burbe G 19th October 2016, 02:42 PM

Hello was definitely a full week release. You're thinking of Skyfall which was released on Friday but only reached #2 because of this.

Looks like LM will be #1 in tomorrow's mids.

Pretty amazing, when I thought at the beginning of the week they wouldn't do it

Posted by: Rafael x 19th October 2016, 03:01 PM

Who's #13, #15 & #16 in singles?

Posted by: danG 19th October 2016, 03:08 PM

Calum Scott, Martin Garrix, Niall Horan

Posted by: danG 19th October 2016, 03:09 PM

great to see Galantis looking likely to enter this week's top 40 anyhow

The Vamps probably won't make it though, they are selling significantly less than those around them.

Posted by: JosephStyles 19th October 2016, 03:13 PM

^ Although they're still a decent way ahead of #40 and #41 for now, so it could be touch and go. I expect them to just miss out but it's not impossible for them to still sneak in!

Posted by: cqmerqn 19th October 2016, 03:14 PM

Where's Ellie? Out of top 20 probably

Posted by: danG 19th October 2016, 03:15 PM

Either way it is quite tragic that it won't even be outpeaking 'I Found A Girl', despite it being a lot better than both that and 'Wake Up'.

Sorry for being a pain but where are OneRepublic?

Posted by: timjimlee 19th October 2016, 04:18 PM

A little surprising to see Phil Collins up to number 2 in the Album update, he was on "The One Show" on Monday night which has seemingly given him a substantial boost, bodes well for Little Mix tonight.

Shame Tom Chaplin is down to 4 (overtaken by Oasis as well)

Posted by: Hadji 19th October 2016, 04:24 PM

I just hope Galantis can hang on by Friday

Posted by: Mart!n 19th October 2016, 04:30 PM

Sorry for being a pain, but which format are you after, single or album

I be back later with an answer on a postcard

Posted by: cqmerqn 19th October 2016, 04:52 PM

Album please as I'm assuming that Kids is no where the top 40

Posted by: JosephStyles 19th October 2016, 04:56 PM

It's not really comparable to either though when they both had 2 or 3 physicals available in those weeks, this one won't until a later date they seem to be hoping it can climb up like most OA/OS releases do and I think it can providing the airplay increases, early signs are promising!

Posted by: danG 19th October 2016, 04:57 PM

10+5

Posted by: Fruity 19th October 2016, 06:02 PM

Omg at the Kings of Leon numbers! That's huge!

Posted by: omrimayo 19th October 2016, 06:29 PM

Good but their last album was selling 71K :| And this new one is MUCH better. I guess time changes...

Posted by: Fruity 19th October 2016, 06:43 PM

True. However the (transactional) album sales market has fallen by about 15-20% since then. So 50k isn't much of a decline!

Posted by: Steve201 19th October 2016, 07:50 PM

They sold steadily most of the week to - impressive from KOL considering they are getting less support now commercially!

Posted by: Scene 19th October 2016, 07:55 PM

Can I please ask where Solange's album is currently? Assuming it hasn't fallen out the top 40 - it only fell 10 places last week which is pretty good these days.

Posted by: JosephStyles 19th October 2016, 09:12 PM

Outside the top 50 I'm afraid!

Posted by: Herbs 19th October 2016, 09:46 PM

Where is passenger?

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 20th October 2016, 12:34 AM

Little Mix closing the gap at a fast rate, i just hope they can go number 1,first time in ages i have been excited about the singles chart and really rooting for someone to go number 1.

Im happy to see Phil Collins climb to number 2, the album is doing very well considering he already has a very successful Greatest Hits that often re-enter the chart.

Posted by: Karma 20th October 2016, 11:01 AM

Wow at Little Mix! We rarely see a song coming in at #1 these days, very impressive.

Posted by: Bjork 20th October 2016, 11:10 AM

yay LM #1 according to Minty!!!!!!!


Neil Claxton ‏@MintRoyale 1m1 minute ago
Little Mix have only gone and done it, they're just 630 copies ahead of James Arthur but are selling quicker so will stay there for no. 1.

A triumph of good, unpretentious pop. Well done etc.

Posted by: Hadji 20th October 2016, 11:10 AM

Let's hope they do

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 20th October 2016, 11:15 AM

So tomorrow they should be a few thousand ahead if they closed a 5k gap from yesterday well over 5k if there over 600 ahead, Amazing for them after missing 3 days of streaming / sales.

Posted by: shindymindy 20th October 2016, 11:26 AM

Amazing achievement

Posted by: Scene 20th October 2016, 11:32 AM

It's amazing to see how much Little Mix have evolved since 2011-12. To think that they're at a career peak during their fourth era.

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 20th October 2016, 11:35 AM

Still have over a 60% lead on iTunes aswell and the video drops tomorrow should give it a little boost plus there on stand up to cancer which am guessing they will perform on, Looks like they have #1 for a few weeks yet. Possibly be #1 on Spotify tomorrow too there only 5k behind james on steaming.

Posted by: danG 20th October 2016, 12:28 PM

can we give Little Mix a Chart Saviours title now? *.* Lolbye James Arthur.

Posted by: Joe. 20th October 2016, 12:43 PM

They were on This Morning today and their intro played this:



They're going to jinx it.

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 20th October 2016, 12:44 PM

Don't think there's anything to jinx its pretty much a done deal at this point

Posted by: liamk97 20th October 2016, 12:45 PM

Well they technically do already have four #1s.

Posted by: Karma 20th October 2016, 01:03 PM

Haha very cheeky - but yes they will be #1 tomorrow

Posted by: Joe. 20th October 2016, 01:13 PM

I know, I'm just pointing out something funny. But Liam's right - Inlcuding Wishing On a Star, they have 4.

This one was a bit of a stretch too...

Posted by: Jonjo 20th October 2016, 02:28 PM

JOE. STOP IT. Make the casual public believe it!!!!!!

Posted by: BillyH 20th October 2016, 02:43 PM

...am I the only one who's not that fussed that a manufactured, overly-commercial generic X Factor-alumni track is being unseated off #1 by another one? It's like Frankee replacing Eamon, for those whose memories go that far back.

Ugly Heart is still a jam though.

Posted by: Joe. 20th October 2016, 02:48 PM

It's fair enough if pure pop is not your type of music, but if you like Ugly Heart, surely it's the same "manufactured and commercail" genre as Shout Out To My Ex?

Posted by: Juranamo 20th October 2016, 02:51 PM

They had this one on X Factor, I instantly looked at the hubby and said "well that's kinda lying!".

Posted by: shindymindy 20th October 2016, 03:26 PM

Well haven't their albums gone platinum in other countries? If they have, then they are multi platinum

Posted by: andibob 20th October 2016, 03:45 PM

You mean Ugly Heart the song by manufactured girl group GRL?

Posted by: Steve201 20th October 2016, 05:07 PM

Girls Aloud were sort of similar - they're peak era was when The Promise came out IMO and it was one of their last releases!

Posted by: twentyonemdh 20th October 2016, 05:10 PM

The fact a totally English song is replacing another totally English song is what's got me the most hyped. WHEN WILL YOUR NATIONAL FAVES?!?!?!?!?!?!

Posted by: BrookeOlivia 20th October 2016, 05:19 PM

Don't you think that era was as big as it was due to Cheryl being a judge on x factor though? It was her first season as judge and had performance was a lot hype around her back then.

Not taken credit away from girls aloud of course brilliant group just with you saying it was there biggest era and things

Posted by: Steve201 20th October 2016, 05:21 PM

Maybe im letting my own views on the Promise get in the way - just thought it was their biggest track and most mature sounding track which was played on both radio 1 & 2 etc - then they basically retired after it.

Posted by: mr_pmt 20th October 2016, 05:22 PM

Kudos to the Mixers!

Posted by: cqmerqn 20th October 2016, 05:55 PM

With LM slaying right now, it does make me wonder if other artists will start to release on Sunday's in order to climb the iTunes charts quicker?

Posted by: Ðøßßø 20th October 2016, 05:58 PM

Really hope Sexual makes the top 10 tomorrow!

Excellent to see Love On Me enter too

Posted by: Joe. 20th October 2016, 06:00 PM

I don't think Sunday will help artists climb faster, I just think it's a special case with Little Mix because they've become one of the UK's biggest acts.

Posted by: Jonjo 20th October 2016, 06:02 PM

Difference being that LM had a huge XF premiere (the song prem'd with the performance) to do this with. Syco got the hype BANG ON with this. I don't think I'd seen so much hype for a single XF performance before? Risky strategy especially with XF not coming close to their peak lately and streaming impacting the chart as much as it does now. But it was perfectly handled. I reckon Simon might start thinking about keeping big "exclusives" from his artists for his show now. Although I think LM are the only ones who would pull it off successfully! Fifth Harmony would come close, but I'm not 100% confident that the public are as into them as they are with Little Mix.

Posted by: mr_pmt 20th October 2016, 06:02 PM

I refer back to my comment earlier in the week.

Posted by: Joe. 20th October 2016, 06:05 PM

The answer is the public are nowhere near into Fitth Harmony as they are Little Mix. An exclusive with them wouldn't work at all.

Posted by: Cameron 20th October 2016, 06:14 PM

The only act I can really see doing a Sunday premier on XF is Fleur

their ticket sales say it all

Posted by: danG 20th October 2016, 07:40 PM

Harry Styles could premiere his debut single on The X Factor and make it work, that's if he's ready to release something this year.

Posted by: scratchy23 20th October 2016, 09:14 PM

Don't forget we're still yet to hear Louisa's single. I reckon she'll debut it on XF this year then release the album around March/April time. They won't give her a Q4 album release now it's so late in the year (and good idea not to, it wouldn't even make top 20 in the busy Christmas album charts)

Posted by: girl_from_oz 20th October 2016, 10:40 PM

Somehow I don't see that happening, I noticed Niall Horan hasn't performed his new track on x-factor, he did it on Graham Norton instead

Posted by: André 21st October 2016, 04:38 AM

It is obvious all of them want to untie their image from The X Factor/1D. They all ran away from Syco.

Posted by: Taylor Jago 21st October 2016, 08:24 AM

He's currently acting in Christopher Nolan's upcoming Dunkirk film.

Posted by: JosephStyles 21st October 2016, 10:37 AM

^ he's finished the acting! I believe he's not releasing his album until.next year but no-one really knows about the lead single. He's signed to Sony but not to Syco, so he could still perform on XF if he has a song out in time I guess.

Still the biggest injustice in pop to this date. It was almost as if they won the Brit Award and thought "that's it - we are done." (Even if some of them were already moving on by that point - Nadine and (especially) Cheryl, I am looking at you )
