Posted by: liamk97 25th September 2016, 11:21 AM
It's a Chainsmokers vs. James Arthur chart battle again this week, with The Weeknd and Daft Punk's 'Starboy' also posing a threat. Zara Larsson's 'Ain't My Fault' and Matoma & Becky Hill's 'False Alarm' should continue their ascent up the chart and Dua Lipa's 'Blow Your Mind (Mwah)' may also enter the Top 40.
In the albums, Bruce Springsteen's new compilation Chapter & Verse (released to coincide with his 67th birthday) seems the biggest contender for #1, with new albums Shine a Light by Billy Bragg & Joe Henry, FEAR by Marillion, The Black Parade/Living with Ghosts by My Chemical Romance, Young as the Morning Old as the Sea by Passenger and Illuminate by Shawn Mendes all aiming for Top 10 placings.

If you're top 40 on Spotify and top 50 on iTunes, could that secure a top 40 placing?
Posted by: SKOB 25th September 2016, 12:01 PM
Surely Illuminate will be #1 or #2?
Posted by: liamk97 25th September 2016, 12:07 PM
It's not been doing very well on Amazon, I'd be very surprised if he managed to beat Bruce by Friday.
Posted by: SKOB 25th September 2016, 12:15 PM
Handwritten is gold certified after all and he has two hit singles right now... Will have massive streaming success. But yea Bruce's traditional sales are hard to beat if he's doing what he usually does sales-wise.
Posted by: timjimlee 25th September 2016, 12:45 PM
Illuminate has been number 1 on ITunes since Friday (rather impressively as the Deluxe edition is £11.99).
In all likelihood Shawn's Album will sell one of the higher percentages of downloads ( rather than CDs ) this week, Bruce's Album will be the other way round...
Posted by: timjimlee 25th September 2016, 02:34 PM
Bruce's last studio Album opened at beginning of 2014 with 48k, the archives have been well and truly plundered since then with at least 2 box sets and several concert performances being Released.
However latest Album (Chapter & Verse) looks more than just a regular compilation, it contains 5 unreleased songs and is a companion piece to Autobiography released this week.
Given Bruce's track record of 10 times at the top Shawn may struggle to make it to number 1 overall.
Posted by: girl_from_oz 25th September 2016, 04:51 PM
Must remember Usher was higher then Led Zeppelin all week on Itunes last week and he ended at 7 while Zeppelin ended up at 3
Posted by: Bjork 25th September 2016, 04:55 PM
very interesting week in albums and difficult to call, if it was a studio album sure Bruce would walk it but it's another Best Of and he's got quite lot of them already... still think he'll do it, cannot see Shawn Mendes doing more than 10K... ideally, Passenger would surprised them both 
also very interesting in singles with James Arthur doing double than Chainsmokers on itunes, while we have the opposite situation on streaming... although James Arthur seems to have it right now...
Posted by: cqmerqn 26th September 2016, 03:36 PM
I'm thinking #6 for Shawn.

Didn't expect to see Passenger at #1!
Posted by: JosephStyles 26th September 2016, 04:34 PM
I had a feeling Shawn was being underestimated, it's good to see him at #3 and not far off #1. I don't expect him to take the top spot but I'm happy now! 
Posted by: timjimlee 26th September 2016, 04:34 PM
Just the nine new entries in the Top 10 Album update then
Posted by: timjimlee 26th September 2016, 04:37 PM
I still think he has a decent chance, his streaming will be a lot higher than the other Albums at the top end of the chart.
Posted by: Bjork 26th September 2016, 04:39 PM
yep I had the feeling Passenger might be #1 and that those that were saying Mendes was gonna be #1 were off
will be interesting to get sales
Posted by: pippa 26th September 2016, 04:41 PM
Would be wonderful of Passenger can retain the number 1 position. From the wide range of new entries i would think Marillion and My Chemical Romance will be the most likely 2 to drop from their current positions and officially have lower positions on Friday.
Posted by: ___∆___ 26th September 2016, 04:43 PM
Yes at Passenger - such a solid album and the fact that they have priced the standard version at £4.99 could just give him the edge to hold on.
Surprised that Shawn has not got it though - he's had a huge hit and sales are low, also disappointing to see Idina scraping Top 40 
Posted by: cqmerqn 26th September 2016, 04:44 PM
Ellie at 11 again...
Posted by: Mart!n 26th September 2016, 04:47 PM
Most of those new albums will fall away by the end of the week
Posted by: pippa 26th September 2016, 04:50 PM
All the E's!! Emeli and Ellie need to keep climbing in the singles.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 26th September 2016, 05:08 PM
Led Zeppelin album already out of the Top 40 
Olly Murs going to continue his wacky chart run by dropping out of the Top 25 
Personally, I would be quite happy if that Top 5 in the singles stayed the same, decent movement there
Posted by: liamk97 26th September 2016, 05:26 PM
MW sales added.
Posted by: Bjork 26th September 2016, 05:29 PM
ohh decent sales for the top 4 albums, most surprised at Marillion!!!!
Posted by: Ðøßßø 26th September 2016, 05:29 PM
Pretty close between the top 2, not beyond the realms of fantasy that Closer could still snatch this back perhaps?
Excellent to see Ain't Giving Up back in the top 40, I saw that was picking up on streaming so hopefully can climb into a more comfortable position come Fri!
Posted by: Envoirment 26th September 2016, 05:47 PM
Looks very close at the top of the singles chart. James will likely snatch it though with streaming/airplay etc continuing to increase.
Posted by: timjimlee 26th September 2016, 06:05 PM
Yes, it would have been ludicrous if Bastille made it a third week at the top!
Posted by: pippa 26th September 2016, 06:33 PM
Passenger based on the sales information provided should open on over 20,000.
Posted by: Ethan 26th September 2016, 06:34 PM
@ 9 NE's in the album top10 
bruce springsteen FTW 
, the other 2 options are too terrible for words 
~ alas i fear 'illuminate' will win out with a streaming advantage
URGH @ that james arthur abomination closing in on #1 
~ by the far worst #1 of 2016, which is quite something to outdo the likes of ‘7 years’, 'pillowtalk’ and ‘stitches’! 
Posted by: Mart!n 26th September 2016, 06:41 PM
After a long drought we have a British #1 
but it had to be another ex X-Factor contestant after Zayn, I reckon The Chainmsokers will get it back later in the week. Gets me thinking the next British #1 will be the X Factor winners track
Hopefully Robbie Williams will get there, I quite like H.E.S. but I think its only a buzz track.
Posted by: burbe 26th September 2016, 06:47 PM
The top 10 actually isn't looking that stale for once (although that could well change by Friday). I wouldn't mind James Arthur getting the #1 purely for freshness sake but he's probably gonna be lodged there for a while himself 
Posted by: Herbs 26th September 2016, 06:50 PM
Brilliant to see Passenger at number 1. Brilliant sales. Anyone know what the two Whispers albums sold on first week?
Posted by: ElectroBoy 26th September 2016, 06:58 PM
This could be a good battle for the number 1 and I think will come down to how much James can increase on streaming. Download wise he has pushed Chainsmokers to 0.5 and streaming is still on the increase.
Posted by: Bjork 26th September 2016, 07:00 PM
just checked how the Whispers albums did for Passenger on week 1:
5 Whispers 23,278
12 Whispers II 5,423
Posted by: mr_pmt 26th September 2016, 07:11 PM
I'm gonna say the top 3 albums on Sunday could be...
1. Bruce Springsteen
2. Shawn Mendes
3. Passenger
*edit - I mean Friday of course.
Posted by: pippa 26th September 2016, 07:52 PM
I think the battle is between Bruce and Passenger and Shawn will be number 3 as a lot of his fans would be more the style to purchase instantly.
Posted by: Bré 26th September 2016, 08:33 PM
Really can't say I expected Passenger to even be challenging for the #1 album, especially after that reminder of 'Whispers II' not even shifting 5 figures in its first week which this new album has done already! Thought it'd be a pretty easy #1 for Bruce Springsteen but at the moment I wouldn't call it between any of that top 3. Exciting ~ nice to see a vaguely unpredictable race for #1 on the singles chart for once as well.
Posted by: Bré 26th September 2016, 08:35 PM
Although of course the main chart story of the week...
THE RETURN OF ALBUM CHART SAVIOUR SIR BONAMASSA IN THE MIDWEEK TOP 10!
I was thinking just last week it had felt like a while since the last time Joe Bonamassa graced the album chart! My Bonamassa senses were tingling *.*
Posted by: Fruity 26th September 2016, 11:40 PM
James Arthur, so impressive!
Shows how a good song will ALWAYS do well, no matter how much people think an artist is over.

Tis a pity about the large number of 'good songs' that haven't gone anywhere near to doing well then...
Posted by: Fruity 27th September 2016, 12:49 AM
Okay well fair enough, his name gave it the platform to launch off, I don't mean that every good song ever will shoot to #1.
But what I mean is that.. even though nobody I know really cares about or likes James, the reception to the song itself has been incredible.

Yeah I got what you meant! Basically with somebody like James Arthur, his comeback single by rights should have bombed, but the fact that it's (arguably) a decent song has turned that around and made it a hit. I'm all for shock Numbers 1s anyway so I'm happy
Posted by: liamk97 27th September 2016, 10:56 AM
He actually had a #3 album this April but, I've got to admit, it completely passed me by as well!
Posted by: timjimlee 27th September 2016, 12:42 PM
Shawn Mendes had tweeted earlier in the week that if his fans streamed his Album "Illuminate" on Spotify you would automatically be entered into a competition with a chance to meet him.
The reality is this is only eligible for US based entrants but this was not really made clear in the tweet.
Seems a bit of an underhand tactic to inflate streams in the week of Release, this tactic would surely not be allowed for UK chart?
Posted by: Bjork 27th September 2016, 12:53 PM
oh my, and how does he know if you've streamed it? (just did incidentally)
sounds a bit desperate
Posted by: JosephStyles 27th September 2016, 12:59 PM
It's not underhand, it's called promotion He's so close to #1 so who could blame him? Rick Astley's tactics were even more ""desperate"" earlier in the year 
Posted by: timjimlee 27th September 2016, 01:11 PM
He's so close to #1 so who could blame him? Rick Astley's tactics were even more ""desperate"" earlier in the year Yes, who can forget Rick twerking with "Loose Women".
Both in category of "Whatever it takes"...
Posted by: ___∆___ 27th September 2016, 03:06 PM
^^ There's lots of that kind of promo going on, Sam Bailey was calling/face timing fans last week that proved they bought her album on Thursday which I assume was her attempt to stay Top 40. Looking at the tweets many fans bought a 2nd copy in order to get a call.
Posted by: Mango 27th September 2016, 03:35 PM
That really is a new level of desperation
Posted by: mdh 27th September 2016, 04:44 PM
At least Shawn didn't go to Westfield Shopping Centre and give a pair of Nike trainers to anyone that bought his song

James has extended the lead - I think its his now especially as he pulled even further away on itunes and has closed the streaming gap considerably
Posted by: liamk97 27th September 2016, 04:59 PM
Albums now in.

This will make James Arthur the first ever male winner of XF to achieve two UK #1's.
Posted by: JosephStyles 27th September 2016, 05:56 PM
Would I be right in saying he'd be only the second male soloist from X Factor to get 2 or more #1s? The first being Olly Murs 
or have I forgotten someone 
Posted by: Hadji 27th September 2016, 06:05 PM
Marillion would be on course to score their second #1 album had they released last week
Posted by: mdh 27th September 2016, 06:05 PM
or have I forgotten someone Yep, as far as I know!
Shayne Ward I believe has one number one and a couple of top twos, but nobody else has that level of success, let alone two #1's.
Posted by: Mart!n 27th September 2016, 06:05 PM
Top 50/ 60, its not even into 4 figures when the rest of the top 40 is (Monday sales) plus the track has no streaming sales.
#20+6
Posted by: cqmerqn 27th September 2016, 06:50 PM
How far away is Ellie from 10?
Posted by: Scene 27th September 2016, 07:12 PM
or have I forgotten someone Yeah I think you're right - male XF soloists have terrible form in the charts.
And to think Will Young and Gareth Gates were both massive not long before XF began.
Posted by: JosephStyles 27th September 2016, 07:13 PM
Too far - she's likely to be #12 again this week, maybe even #13.
Posted by: Ethan 27th September 2016, 08:23 PM
fingers crossed bruce springsteen can hang on~
Posted by: cqmerqn 27th September 2016, 08:28 PM
Well that sucks.
Thanks.Hoping that it's streaming figures pick up but that's doubtful now.
Posted by: ankietarrr 27th September 2016, 08:56 PM
still having OWN song as number 1 even once is more respectable than having 20 chart toppers that are covers
Posted by: pippa 27th September 2016, 08:56 PM
I am slightly disappointed that Bruce Springsteen has taken over the number 1 position from Passenger
Posted by: Jason 27th September 2016, 09:07 PM
Where's Nick Cave & Bad Seeds album please?
Posted by: Mart!n 27th September 2016, 09:09 PM

Posted by: Scene 27th September 2016, 11:25 PM
True I guess this will be his first on his own merit.
Posted by: Jonjo 27th September 2016, 11:30 PM
Would this also make James Arthur the first artist to not be streaming number 1, but number 1 officially (not counting Charity/special releases)? (Since the streaming rule came into place) If not, he's surely one of just a few, right?
(Hope that makes sense lol)
Posted by: Doctor Blind 27th September 2016, 11:34 PM
Nope because KDA, Tinie Tempah and Katy B made #1 last October whilst only peaking at #9 on streaming.
Sam Smith also bullDOZEd his way to #1 with next to zero streaming in October 2015, peaking at just 15 on streaming - he also claimed he was the first gay man ever to be #15 on streaming and yet #1 on the official chart.
Posted by: JosephStyles 27th September 2016, 11:35 PM

(Hope that makes sense lol)
Nope, there's been plenty of official chart toppers that didn't get anywhere near #1 on streaming! Mainly from when held-back releases were more common. However every #1 this year has been #1 on streaming, so it could well end up being the first #1 this year not to be #1 on streaming at some point too. Time will tell on that front! Closer for example climbed to #1 on streams during its 2nd week at #1 officially, as did Stitches, so who knows right now.
I think I answered that correctly!
Posted by: Doctor Blind 27th September 2016, 11:36 PM
Plus James Arthur will likely climb to #1 on steaming next week...
STEAMING. I meant streaming, though the kettles will be boiling overtime in Hadji's kitchen if he stays at number 1 for (god forbid I even say it) a SECOND week !!!!

Dua Lipa - Blow Your Mind (Mwah) - #13 on itunes and #52 on Spotify
Tove Lo - Cool Girl - #36 on itunes and #37 on Spotify
NEIKED - Sexual - #41 on itunes but #26 on Spotify
Posted by: Hassaan 28th September 2016, 02:41 PM
or have I forgotten someone Yes. He'd also be the first male winner to get a #1 after his winners single.

We only have the Music Week top 40 today I'm afraid.
Posted by: Jason 28th September 2016, 06:57 PM
It looks like Teddy Mac will be top 40 on Friday.
Great to see Offaiah at #30. 
On the other hand, not pleased to see Sunshine down to #39
Posted by: cqmerqn 28th September 2016, 06:58 PM
Is the Teddy Mac song available to purchase on CD? I'm surprised that it's as high as it is!
Posted by: mdh 28th September 2016, 07:28 PM
Teddy Mac looks likely to hold on. Hurrah.
Posted by: steps 28th September 2016, 07:41 PM
As far as I know there is no CD availabe, but he is doing very good on amazon downloads. The 2-track-bundle is No. 1 in the albums and "You make me feel ..." No. 17 in the tracks chart there.
Posted by: Bré 29th September 2016, 01:00 AM
Oh no I remember that very well! 5 months is just quite a long time to wait for a new Joe Bonamassa album chart entry.
Looks like Bruce does have another #1 album after all then as he is pulling ahead of Passenger and Shawn doesn't seem to be holding up any better. Although you never know with Shawn's likely streaming advantage that won't be reflected properly in the mids I guess.
Posted by: skankhunt42 29th September 2016, 02:27 AM
Something that Westlife's Luis Walsh will never understand.
Posted by: Karma 29th September 2016, 10:58 AM
Wow the race for #1 in the album chart is close!
Massive achievement for James Arthur, I never would have guessed this huge comeback.
Posted by: pippa 29th September 2016, 02:16 PM
This album could give Bruce Springsteen his 10th UK number 1 album. That is a wonderful achievement.

Ellie still at 11, hoping she can hold that

Just outside top 50!
#12 and #14!

are Dua Lipa, Neiked and Tove Love closer to #40? (if it's ok to ask)

Posted by: JosephStyles 29th September 2016, 03:37 PM
NEIKED is close and could well make it in, Tove Lo isn't really so it's doubtful although she should get a new peak!
Nothing notable, the album's up a few spots but that's it
Top 50, up a bit from last week but not particularly close to the top 40 still
#30!
Posted by: liamk97 29th September 2016, 03:54 PM
Wow, Passenger could actually be #1 on Friday! Didn't think he'd stand a chance of re-owning that spot after Bruce overtook.
Posted by: danG 29th September 2016, 05:09 PM
I'm just glad that Shawn Mendes isn't taking the albums #1 really Who knew Passenger was still relevant enough to sell 16k copies of his album in the first week though, so many years after his only hit.
Yay for Dua Lipa making the top 40 Also good to see Calvin and Zara re-peaking this week too.
Posted by: Ethan 29th September 2016, 05:18 PM

Brilliant for Dua Lipa.
Posted by: pippa 29th September 2016, 08:00 PM
I would like Passenger to steal back the number 1 spot at the last minute as its likely his only ever chance of a number 1. Bruce Springsteen im sure will have other chances.
James Arthur looks so secure for the number 1 now.
Posted by: timjimlee 29th September 2016, 08:00 PM
Eleventh in fact, "High Hopes" was his tenth.
Eleven will equal Robbie Williams for UK number 1's, I guess Robbie will be ahead of Bruce again in November.
Posted by: Bré 29th September 2016, 08:29 PM
Passenger has gained again on Bruce today and he's now somehow both #1 and #2 on the iTunes album chart (I assume he had a TV appearance today?) - I can still see Bruce hanging on but can't really call it
Posted by: gooddelta 29th September 2016, 08:40 PM
He's been promoting the battle on Facebook too, saying he's neck and neck with Bruce for #1 in the UK, Aus and NZ and asking everybody to buy it (he also mentions it being £4.99 on iTunes). He has 3.6 million fans on his page so would have had quite an impact I think.
He's also selling CDs along with tour tickets here and promoting that: http://www.banquetrecords.com/NS171116
