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.

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 *.* |

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... This post has been edited by Chez Wombat: 27th September 2016, 12:39 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. |

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. I agree somewhat, but I also think Shawn will get more casual buys than Bruce or Passenger, plus he'll have a streaming advantage over them so the #1 could certainly go in his favor. |

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 |

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? |

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

^^ 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.

At least Shawn didn't go to Westfield Shopping Centre and give a pair of Nike trainers to anyone that bought his song
