Sigala are looking at a #1 single this week with their debut track "Easy Love" sampling Michael Jackson's hit 'ABC' also Justin Bieber might still be in contention for a second week at #1 with stream sales in his favour. Other key single releases this week come from Kygo with 'Here For You' this time the vocals are supplied by Ella Henderson, already has a #1 single under her belt with 'Ghost' last year. R. City collaborating with Adam Levine lead singer of Maroon 5 on 'Locked Away', Foxes with 'Better Love' and Drake with 'Hotline Bling' aiming to chart inside the top 40. Also bear in mind with X Factor been transmitted over the weekend, we could see the odd old track re-appearing back in the top 40 singles chart.

After just 1 week at #1 The Weeknd is facing tough competition this week from rock group legends Iron Maiden with their brand new studio album 'The Book Of Souls'. Other key album releases this week come from Troye Sivan 'Wild' (EP), Five Finger Death Punch 'Got Your Six', Travis Scott 'Rodeo', Oh Wonder 'Oh Wonder', Etherwood 'Blue Leaves', The Wonder Years 'No Closer To Heaven', The View 'Ropewalk' and everyone's favourite Norwegian band who had catchy classic single hits 'Take On Me', 'The Sun Always Shines On TV' and they also sang the James Bond theme track to the The Living Daylights we welcome the return of a-Ha with their brand new studio album 'Cast In Steel'.

All those pre-orders must have counted for something then despite the low sales climate! Gives me hope he can hold on.

Posted by: Mart!n 5th September 2015, 12:53 PM

Oh well... its early this week, if chart info is out and available on social media, there is no harm in posting the thread topic early. Funny enough I did all the prep commentary this morning ready to go.

Posted by: 100% ~spadam~ 😎 5th September 2015, 01:03 PM

Hoping 'a mile' can mean Sigala gets 2+ weeks at the top!

Posted by: Ne Plus Ultra 5th September 2015, 01:28 PM

Good. Easy Love is way better than What Do You Mean?

Posted by: SKOB 5th September 2015, 01:37 PM

Troye Sivan's EP is amazing, is it really eligible to chart on album chart?

Posted by: AcerBen 5th September 2015, 01:40 PM

Mint Royale reckons it can't be eligible for albums chart at such a low price

Posted by: Doctor Blind 5th September 2015, 01:41 PM

No chance, it'll get 1 but I think Bieber will easily climb back the week after.

Posted by: 100% ~spadam~ 😎 5th September 2015, 01:41 PM

Posted by: Mart!n 5th September 2015, 01:47 PM

Rock legends Iron Maiden is the #1 album and Troye Sivan #2 according to Mint Royale.

Posted by: SKOB 5th September 2015, 01:51 PM

Troye outselling The Weeknd? WOW

Posted by: Danvicii 5th September 2015, 03:02 PM

I'm sure if an EP has 6 or more tracks it's album chart eligible. His last EP didn't chart and that only had 5 tracks so that makes sense

Posted by: Brett-Butler 5th September 2015, 03:10 PM

According to the http://www.officialcharts.com/media/319098/official-uk-charts-album-chart-rules-april-2013.pdf, in order for a digital release to by classified as an album, it must

1) Have a dealer price (the price it's "sold" to the online store) of at least £3.75
2) Longer than 25 minutes and/or more than four songs
3) Not qualify as a maxi or remix single as defined by singles eligibility.

So based on this, would it qualify?

Posted by: AcerBen 5th September 2015, 03:28 PM

It's being sold for less than £3.94 so it's unlikely the dealer price would be that high. I don't know whether digital only EPs are eligible for the budget album chart?

Maybe it's time they did an EP chart!

Posted by: Envoirment 6th September 2015, 12:46 AM

I think that's mainly due to its substantial pre-orders (I'm pretty sure they were at least 5k+). It'll likely drop off over the week.

I wonder if Jess Glynne could challenge for the #1 spot in the album chart given her performance on Strictly seems to have given her quite the boost on iTunes? She should remain pretty stable sales-wise at least.

Posted by: Ethan 6th September 2015, 11:02 AM

fingers crossed for sigala~

Omg at Foxes poor ha

Posted by: tryffel 6th September 2015, 11:11 AM

Do you think A-ha will have a chance at the top 15?

Posted by: Dobbo 6th September 2015, 11:15 AM

Peanut Butter Jelly looking very good for top 10 this week!

Posted by: ags_rule 6th September 2015, 12:12 PM

Very little chance of that. Iron Maiden has been the No. 1 best seller on Amazon for a couple of weeks based on pre-orders alone - and that's just the deluxe edition, not even counting the basic edition, special edition vinyl or downloads. They have this one in the bag, and rightfully so.

Posted by: SKOB 6th September 2015, 02:07 PM

Iron Maiden's previous album opened with 44k and they have not lost their popularity at all. Wouldn't be surprised if they reached 50k.

Posted by: Hadji 6th September 2015, 04:31 PM

I don't want Jess Glynne denying Iron Maiden a #1 album

Posted by: SKOB 7th September 2015, 08:04 AM

It's not going to happen.

Posted by: PRISM 7th September 2015, 09:00 AM

Will Lana outsell David after two weeks? what do you think?

Posted by: Joe. 7th September 2015, 10:11 AM

Who do you mean? David Gilmour? I didn't realise they were a contender until now. They aren't out for a couple of weeks yet, though.

Posted by: SKOB 7th September 2015, 11:52 AM

David Archuleta?

Posted by: PRISM 7th September 2015, 11:57 AM

Gilmour

Posted by: Joe. 7th September 2015, 12:01 PM

Why do you say 'after two weeks' aren't they released the same week? I'd assume Lana would sell more in the first week and is a probable number 1.

Posted by: PRISM 7th September 2015, 12:06 PM

Both will be released on September 18th.

Posted by: Joe. 7th September 2015, 12:10 PM

Oh, you meant "in two weeks", apologies. Then in answer to your question yes, I think she will. Rudimental are also competition as their pre-order has been up for what seems like a year.

I really hope Troye Sivan can remain top 10 by the end of the week. 'Wild' is sublime.

Posted by: John-James 7th September 2015, 12:16 PM

Did you buy it?

Posted by: omrimayo 7th September 2015, 01:04 PM

ME! It's so good. Better than his first EP for me which was also good.

Posted by: Envoirment 7th September 2015, 04:36 PM

Iron Maiden over 30k sales ahead of Jess Glynne. Must be on for much bigger fire week sales than their last studio album (which did ~45k)!

I didn't doubt it happening but it's great to see Sigala smashing all competition too!

Singles top 2 and album top 5 sales added to the update, courtesy of Music Week! Sigala 16k ahead ~

Posted by: SevenSees 7th September 2015, 05:04 PM

Very nice position for Oh Wonder !

Posted by: smidsy101 7th September 2015, 05:11 PM

For those who are lazy and can't be asked to scroll through the update

Ella Eyre is at 19 with Feline
Taylor Swift is at 38 with Wildest Dreams
Troye Sivan is at 3 with the WILD - EP and at 62 with the title song
Carly Rae Jepsen is at 67 with Run Away With Me
Foxes is at 89 with Better Love

Have to say, as much as I love Foxes and almost everything she's put out, this song is very weak and probably the worst of hers so far, unfortunately

Posted by: JimmyT 7th September 2015, 05:11 PM

Kygo ft Ella H in at #16! v.Good result for an OA/OS.

Interesting to see how it goes (it was #74 on Spotify last time I looked)

Posted by: 100% ~spadam~ 😎 7th September 2015, 05:16 PM

Sales gap looks big enough for Sigala to take the #1 fairly easily this week but unfortunately a 2 week #1 looks very slim from where things stand right now.
Great to see Galantis scoring another top 10 hit iTunes stability should mean they stay top 10 for the full week too

Thank goodness Felix is stabilizing a little and hopefully Kygo stays top 20.
Wild at #62 :') the BJSC mods certainly made the right decision to veto Mr. Sivan

Loving the Carly re-entry and the Hula Hoop entry too. DJ Snake and AJ are a bit low for my liking but look how floppy Avicii is doing
And that Green Day song has entered just a little too early

Posted by: mr_pmt 7th September 2015, 05:21 PM

Galantis should keep their #8 position which I'm happy with.

Good to see Carly poised to make its top 75 debut, hope it can keep ascending though...

Posted by: Ethan 7th September 2015, 05:56 PM

yasssssss g'won sigala smash it~

16k should be enough of a gap even if there's streaming data missing!

kygo is also doing tremendously well for a oa/os release!

how on earth have iron maiden sold 45.5k?!

Posted by: Chez Wombat 7th September 2015, 06:09 PM

Well they're not exactly some random unknown band, they're still popular in their genre and with their existing fanbase. I'm not that surprised, though I do sense they'll be a tad frontloaded.

I didn't know Oh Wonder's album was out nor did I expect it to go that high! Must give that a listen.

Sigala looking quite good to be this number 1 this week with that lead I'd say

Posted by: ags_rule 7th September 2015, 06:29 PM

They've sold 85 million albums and sell out stadiums all over the world, as they have done for nearly 40 years. It's hardly surprising.

Posted by: Mart!n 7th September 2015, 06:44 PM

Nice to see Duran Duran's Rio back in the top 40 album chart, I would love to see total sales for that album, 99p on GooglePlay just bought it I only got that on Vinyl... bargain. The album chart is a bit nostalgic this week, 80s acts A'ha, Iron Maiden, Public Image Limited.

Posted by: Bré 7th September 2015, 06:51 PM

Incredible sales for Iron Maiden! (Assuming they're actually correct and the OCC aren't over-reporting sales like they did last week )

Good to see Sigala looking at an easy #1 but should have been released weeks ago yada yada yada.

Posted by: N💎lly. S 7th September 2015, 06:59 PM

Foxes Top 100 Oh Wonder not doing so badly either!

Posted by: mr_pmt 7th September 2015, 07:21 PM

If Foxes is that low it's fair to say she stands no chance of making it officially.

They've really screwed her over with this strategy. I mean, I know she'll have struggled anyway after 'Body Talk' (criminally) flopped, but this is kind of like shooting an already lame horse in the leg before a race.

Posted by: N💎lly. S 7th September 2015, 07:29 PM

My biggest concern is her future with Radio 1 They already seemed disinterested in 'Body Talk' (having only made the B-List as a pre-album single), so I'm not sure where missing the top 100 altogether will leave her.

Posted by: Brett-Butler 7th September 2015, 08:20 PM

Decent sales for Iron Maiden there. What did their last album do in its first week?

Posted by: Doctor Blind 7th September 2015, 08:31 PM

44,384. So they've already surpassed that! They're surprisingly consistent, in September 2006 A Matter of Life and Death opened with 44,134 though that was only good enough for a #4 debut back then.

Posted by: Brett-Butler 7th September 2015, 08:45 PM

That's fantastic. The Tesco effect much be helping them out a lot. I wonder if it'll do 100k by the end of the year?

Posted by: Mart!n 7th September 2015, 08:48 PM

I didn't realise it was that long ago, I was looking for something recent (ish).

Posted by: ags_rule 7th September 2015, 09:13 PM

Has been five years since their last album unfortunately lol!

Posted by: Mango 7th September 2015, 11:54 PM

As much as it saddens me to say it, I think it's fairly obvious that her chart career is pretty much over.

Posted by: Hadji 8th September 2015, 01:18 AM

Album sales have been extremely poor this year. Only two albums have passed the 100k mark in a week, both of them being regular NOW albums which are compilations

Posted by: Rafael x 8th September 2015, 02:48 AM

Yas Drag Me Down, up to #9 on Spotify too

Posted by: pippa 8th September 2015, 08:44 AM

Hozier From Eden Number 68, it would be wonderful if he can manage a third top 75 hit from this era.

Bieber closed the gap by 4 K in one day. With 3 days left that means it will be VERY close on Friday.

Posted by: JosephBieber 8th September 2015, 09:00 PM

Justin's closing in on iTunes too so I'd imagine he'll have outsold Sigala by even more today!

Posted by: Ethan 8th September 2015, 09:01 PM

yeah there's going to be a real nail-biter of a finish this week ~ sigala to somehow just hold on plz

Posted by: Herbs 8th September 2015, 09:03 PM

dont like the sigala track, another lazy sample, so wouldnt mind bieber making it two weeks

Posted by: Ethan 8th September 2015, 09:04 PM

plus with monday's streaming data missing ~ the gap is even closer than 12k~

Posted by: Doctor Blind 8th September 2015, 09:06 PM

Projecting the sales on what they sold yesterday gives the Bieber a ~100 or so lead by Friday. But I still think Sigala will just about make it as their streaming appears to be consolidating now.

Posted by: JosephBieber 8th September 2015, 09:06 PM

Yes very true! I don't mind the Sigala track at all but I'd much rather Justin spent a second week there myself. Nice to see there's more of a battle than most of us first thought for the #1 spot though!

Posted by: BlazingLovatic 8th September 2015, 09:08 PM

Do you know where Demi is?

Posted by: gooddelta 8th September 2015, 09:09 PM

Oh dear! Didn't expect Sigala to have a chance of missing out, serves them right for putting it out at least a month after demand peaked.

Those Iron Maiden album sales are exceptional and Jess Glynne is holding up brilliantly too!

Posted by: JosephBieber 8th September 2015, 09:10 PM

#10! Looking good to remain there too I'd say.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 8th September 2015, 09:10 PM

Sitting comfortably at number 10, with a reasonable chance of jumping back to 9 by Friday.

Posted by: 100% ~spadam~ 😎 8th September 2015, 09:11 PM

Posted by: Dobbo 8th September 2015, 09:27 PM

Thanks! Climbing on iTunes still so could enter on Friday.

Shame The Hills doesn't look to be rising further.

Posted by: James1987 8th September 2015, 09:28 PM

Really hoping Sigala can just hold on, I'm worried Bieber's catching up fast so Friday could be too close to call

Justin can climb back next week

Does anyone have a link to that site which has the approximate sales of the singles from iTunes for each day? Cheers guys

P.S. Sorry if I'm a bit vague

Oh my God! Sigala heading for 80k only on Friday now. It's going to be very close!

Posted by: smidsy101 8th September 2015, 11:27 PM

Thank youuuuu!

Posted by: Ryan. 8th September 2015, 11:27 PM

Demi could be good for another couple of weeks top 10 as she has TV promo later this week!

Posted by: mr_pmt 8th September 2015, 11:33 PM

I'm pretty much certain Bieber isn't going to overcome a 12k defecit...

Has Jepsen made even the slightest of upward movements?

Posted by: SLlewellyn 9th September 2015, 06:50 AM

It's little things like Sigala not being available on Apple Music that are making it easier for Bieber to catch up.

That Calvin Harris and The Weeknd are still T5 while recent number 1s by Charlie Puth and Rachel Platten have been pushed down shows that OA/OS is definitely the way forward.

Posted by: Joe. 9th September 2015, 08:31 AM

Still #67 Praying for a radio 1 A-listing later. Oh, and of course - it charted at #101 last week.

Posted by: 100% ~spadam~ 😎 9th September 2015, 08:55 AM

I didn't know it wasn't on Apple Music
Honestly why do they do these things :/

Posted by: Mango 9th September 2015, 09:04 AM

IRLY wasn't even A-listed, so I'd be extremely surprised if RAWM is. I think she'll get another week on the B-list and that's it. I still think it could go Top 40 next week though.

Posted by: mr_pmt 9th September 2015, 09:49 AM

Typical! I'm actually fearing Radio 1 are going to prematurely kick this off their playlist. Praying not though.

Posted by: Joe. 9th September 2015, 10:17 AM

She's in the live lounge next week so I think she'll remain B-list for at least a week.

Poor Carly down 1 from yesterday (For me and Aly who care).

Posted by: Mart!n 9th September 2015, 02:03 PM

The gap at the top is slowly decreasing, I think Sigala will just about hold on, Sigala seems to be selling around 8k per day, Justin has slightly decreased a bit, its going to be very close, stream sales wise Sigala on 10% and Justin Bieber on 42%

Posted by: Mango 9th September 2015, 02:05 PM

Surely 8k is too much for Justin to make up in 2 days? It's going to be close though!

Posted by: Doctor Blind 9th September 2015, 02:06 PM

Given he's already caught up by 7.5K in 2 days it isn't out of the question but I do think it'll just be a little too much. Winning margin this week will be <1000 copies.

Posted by: JosephBieber 9th September 2015, 02:08 PM

Bearing in mind there's also missing streaming data where Justin is further ahead by quite a way! It's not impossible for Justin to keep #1 but I can see Sigala keeping it, just about.

Posted by: Hadji 9th September 2015, 02:18 PM

Looks like JB will beat his own first week sales. Really want Sigala to secure the #1 spot

Posted by: mr_pmt 9th September 2015, 02:19 PM

I do want Sigala to keep it, but that'll make for an exciting show on Friday if it's not certain.

Posted by: Rafael x 9th September 2015, 02:28 PM

Drag Me Down still #15?

Posted by: JosephBieber 9th September 2015, 02:31 PM

Yup! Might slip one place to #16 if Pia Mia overtakes but otherwise it'll stay put. Having good longevity in the top 20

Posted by: Mart!n 9th September 2015, 02:43 PM

R City are at #42, I don't think it will get any higher, its going to lose out when missing stream sales are added along with Wildest Dreams from Taylor.

Apart from Sigala and Kygo as the only new entries, and Mark Ronson and Wiz Khalifa haunting us again with Uptown Funk and See You Again, with a further track from Jess Glynne (Hold My Hand) and probably Galantis (Runaway) are the most likely suspects to linger in the bottom end of the 40.

Posted by: Joe. 9th September 2015, 02:44 PM

Apparently a "big name" artist is dropping their album at the Apple Event tonight

Posted by: liamk97 9th September 2015, 02:49 PM

I'm equally quite liking 'Easy Love' and 'What Do You Mean?' so either being #1 would be fine, but it Bieber is looking likely to be #1 in its third week, I'd rather he'd stay on top.

Hopefully Iron Maiden can hit 60k. Incredible that Jess Glynne looks likely to be just 3k down on its sales week-on-week; I know she received a good boost from Strictly but she's held up well regardless.

It is having decent Top 20 longevity but I was expecting it to have that in the Top 10 following the video - dare I say it, in terms of chart run, it's becoming a little bit "non-number one" for me. That said, I keep hearing it all the time on radio, TV and clubs, so, in that sense, including all the media interest in 1D right now, it very much deserves its #1 status. Have they promoted the song in the UK yet?

Posted by: liamk97 9th September 2015, 02:50 PM

Drake? I think he mentioned previously that he'd be premiering it via Apple or something.

Posted by: JosephBieber 9th September 2015, 02:53 PM

I definitely wouldn't consider it even close to a non-#1 myself, I think it would probably have to be near the bottom of the top 40 by now for me to think that (a la Cheryl's I Don't Care, for example). I did expect it to go back into the top 10 but I guess if we compare with Steal My Girl, that eventually had pretty good TV promotion whereas this hasn't had an ounce in the UK yet (and only one worldwide performance I think, excluding the tour). Not sure if it actually will get any more promo now, they'll most likely promote single #2 over here on X Factor and the like. I think it was always gonna end up with an odd run due to it being OA/OS!

Posted by: Rafael x 9th September 2015, 02:54 PM

Praying bc it dropped to #20 on iTunes and #14 on Spotify

Posted by: liamk97 9th September 2015, 02:59 PM

I just prefer #1s to have some staying power near the top of the charts so seeing it leave the Top 10 so quickly and fail to return makes me view it as such. Perhaps I'm just too strict, because it'll still be Top 40 in 2-3 months time. Kinda 'She Looks So Perfect'-esque.

Posted by: steve201 9th September 2015, 03:11 PM

Sigala isn't blowing me away with their sales at present - too long on preorder dare I say?

Posted by: 100% ~spadam~ 😎 9th September 2015, 03:15 PM

So much for 'easy #1' #misleadingitunesthreadsubtitle

Posted by: Zárate 9th September 2015, 04:01 PM

I'm actually for Bieber to hold on! I don't care about any song but it would be nice if an OA/OS song on its second week held off the massively a song that should have been released at least a month ago. It would be even more important if the talks about how labels are going to ditch OA/OS again are true.

Posted by: pippa 9th September 2015, 04:08 PM

I had thought Sigala was certain for the number 1 position, it would be wonderful for it to stay there. I remain impressed with Jess Glynne sales especially on its third week on sale.

Posted by: Danvicii 9th September 2015, 04:14 PM

Bieber's making up 4k per day and is 8k behind Sigala with 2 days to go This is going to be an exciting gattle.

Posted by: omrimayo 9th September 2015, 04:16 PM

Yap, I guess he's gonna lose in less than 1K. His song is much better.

Posted by: gooddelta 9th September 2015, 04:29 PM

I'd like Justin to hold on too actually, I love and did buy Easy Love this week but it would be a fantastic middle finger up to the bloody radio stations and record labels who think it's fair to hold back a song for three months (waits for Easy Love to win the battle by one sale).

Posted by: Envoirment 9th September 2015, 04:57 PM

I think Justin has it, once you include the missing streaming data, Sigala's lead will likely reduce by 1-2k. Not to mention Justin is up to ~0.94 of Sigala on iTunes now.

Posted by: Ethan 9th September 2015, 06:43 PM

undoubtedly, ministry of sound have been using the pent up demand to flog compilations, with album only versions of 'easy love', for the last month ~ there's a better mark up on a >£9.99 compilation album than a 99p download, but there's a very strong chance it's going to cost them a #1 now

Posted by: John-James 9th September 2015, 07:18 PM

I agree, I think Justin might just get it. He will be outselling Sigala on iTunes tomorrow

Posted by: LeeWallace 9th September 2015, 07:49 PM

Poor Sigala.

It's their own fault for holding the release back so f***ing long though.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 9th September 2015, 08:02 PM

I don't know, Labrinth (#40) will surely drop out - R City seem like a very likely beneficiary of this.

Poor Sigala, having JB close in on him. Come on Sigala!

Posted by: Ne Plus Ultra 10th September 2015, 05:47 PM

Two out gay artists in the top 5 albums chart (three if you include Jess Glynne who has had female relationships). When has that happened before?

Posted by: Doctor Blind 10th September 2015, 05:49 PM

R City have climbed into the Top 40 at 37 - but loads of streaming data is missing so it may drop back to 40 by Friday.

Posted by: Dircadirca 10th September 2015, 05:55 PM

Could you count when Years & Years were in the top 5 along with Sam Smith earlier in the year? If not, Will Young was in the top 5 along with Sam Smith a few months ago.

Posted by: Heathyheath_ 10th September 2015, 06:02 PM

I know data is missing but I'm surprised Sigala isn't a lot closer to Justin Bieber right now, I was convinced Bieber would catch them but now I'm not so sure..

Posted by: *Ben* 10th September 2015, 06:03 PM

WOW so many streaming data missing, that will make tomorrow's chart more interesting

Posted by: mowino 10th September 2015, 06:05 PM

C'mon JB!!!!

Posted by: John-James 10th September 2015, 06:22 PM

Sigala will get it Justin only made up 600 without streaming

Posted by: Ethan 10th September 2015, 07:00 PM

2 days of streaming data missing ~ what a tease

fully expect bieber to be #1 tomorrow now ~ if sigala somehow manage to hold on I'll be ecstatic tho~

Posted by: 100% ~spadam~ 😎 10th September 2015, 08:17 PM

The Wealdstone Raider won't be happy if Sigala doesn't get #1 tho

Posted by: steve201 10th September 2015, 08:25 PM

Think Sigala will just get there....
