A new year (in chart terms) so time for a new thread Let's see how long I can keep up with posting regular updates this year.
Top 100 update (28/12/2014, 22:00)
The year is off to a very uneventful start, no major releases this week (I think Echosmith's album is out but that's pretty much it, I guess we'll see tomorrow) and not even any pre-orders in the top 100, though Fall Out Boy's new album isn't far outside at #108, while Madonna, Mark Ronson and Imagine Dragons are also top 200.

New single EP releases this week
Charting on pre-orders alone
I've put a link to the iTunes album chart in the main post (might be helpful ).
I think Ed Sheeran will be able to hold on to #1 for the next couple of weeks until the Fall Out Boy/Enter Shikari/Mark Ronson battle on the 19th.
Oh yes that'd probably be a good idea Thank you for that Liam.

Top 100 update (05/01/2015, 22:00)
Madonna #105, Imagine Dragons #129 and we have a couple more pre-orders sneaking into the top 200 - Enter Shikari's 'Mindsweep' at #111 and Rae Morris' 'Unguarded' at #178. Enter Shikari released the same week as Fall Out Boy and Mark Ronson, based on the pre-order positions they'll probably end up as the third highest new entry but I could see them being top 5 nonetheless.
We have a new release in the top 100! Huzzah. Låpsley's EP is only 4 tracks so sales will presumably be counted towards 'Falling Short'. I doubt it'll trouble the top 100 (possibly unless she is top 5 in Sound of 2015) but #43 is a fairly decent position.
Not a new release but George The Poet's album enters at #90 after he came 5th in Sound of 2015, this doesn't bode well for him to achieve much commercial success.

Go Rae Morris!
Pleased that Rae Morris is making an appearance in the Top 200, looking forward to her album!
Seems Fall Out Boy will get the #1 out of the 19th January releases since they're also #32 on Amazon, with Mark Ronson at #74 and The Decemberists at #98. Enter Shikari are #15 on the pre-order list (other 19th Jan releases ahead of them are Belle & Sebastian and The Waterboys).
Poor Mark Ronson if he ends up #2 behind Fall Out Boy, that'd be 3 consecutive #2 albums for him without reaching #1 (though he at least now has a #1 single when previously he similarly had 2 #2 singles). That said Fall Out Boy also have a #2 and a #3 without a #1. And Enter Shikari have two #4s without making the top 3.
Britney's 'The Singles Collection' (2009) has been reduced to £3.99 for 23 songs and 16 videos! Bargain.
Top 100 update (06/01/2015, 23:30)
Slightly missed my cue today oop ~
Other pre-orders: Imagine Dragons #111 and James Bay has popped up at #164. Madonna and Rae Morris out of the top 200. George The Poet has climbed a bit more, while Raury doesn't have any albums to see a Sound of 2015 effect for unforch.
Meanwhile the week's new releases hot up as Joshua Radin apparently still exists. You may remember him from 'I'd Rather Be With You' from 2010, the song that was not by Jason Mraz but might as well have been (especially as it peaked at #11 for 2 weeks although thankfully fell quickly afterwards).

Pity Hozier isn't top 10 after last night performance. Glad to see Hudson Taylor have a release date!
Top 100 update (10/01/2015, 22:00)
Hozier is top 10 (#3 in fact as Ultra said, with a second version at #25 too) so not sure what you're referring to Steve! If you meant on the last update I think that was before / only just after the performance so the effect hadn't kicked in yet.
Looks like Kodaline have had a big lift from The Voice UK, their album back up to #37 + #82 and an EP at #63.
Other pre-orders #101-200 today: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds #105, Enter Shikari #126, Imagine Dragons #186.

Yeh just looked at the last top 100 update and didn't realise it was from the day before . Good to see Hozier rising to no3!
Top 100 update (11/01/2015, 22:00)
Other pre-orders top 200 (definitely from a slightly later update but it'll only be slightly different to the positions from this one ~): Kid Ink #117, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds #130, Enter Shikari #137, Imagine Dragons #141, Belle And Sebastian 'Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance' #154.
It looks likely that there will be no new entries at all in the top 40 for a third week in a row, bleak doesn't even cover it. Luckily next week is looking a bit busier.

Top 100 update (12/01/2015, 22:00)
The Prodigy straight into the top 10 on pre-orders. GET IT. *.* Just seen it has a big banner on the iTunes homepage as well. There don't seem to be any other major albums set for a 30/3 release date so far, so their major competition for #1 will probably just be James Bay's second week unless someone (Adele) drops an album at short notice. Pretty hopeful they should be able to get a 6th #1.
Other lesser pre-orders in the 101-200 region today: Kid Ink #118, Hillsong Young & Free 'This Is Living' EP #136 (*.*), Imagine Dragons #139, Belle And Sebastian #140, The Wombats 'Glitterbug' #141 (was not aware they had a new album coming out at all), Meghan Trainor #176, Kodaline 'Coming Up For Air' #189.
One new release in the top 100 today but like all the other new albums of the year so far it'll likely be gone in a day.

New artist album releases this week
New single EP releases this week
Charting on pre-orders alone
I wonder why Noël Gallaghers pre order is so high? Could be a good first week for him.
The Wombats had a Hottest Record on Zane Lowe just before Christmas, glad to see a preorder up there. I assume a new single is being sent to radio too!
Top 100 update (13/01/2015, 22:00)
I must have missed the memo when All Time Low got this big Just checked the release date and thankfully it doesn't clash with The Prodigy (it's out a week later), looking like an early contender for #1 perhaps, the previous two albums got to #20 and #9 so the momentum is with them (although both of those albums dropped out very quickly, the former only spent a week in the top 100 and the latter went 9-64-x )
More pre-orders in the top 200 (there are a ton of these now!): Charli XCX 'Sucker' #102, Falling In Reverse 'Just Like You' #107, Bethel Music 'We Will Not Be Shaken' #108, Meghan Trainor #113, Belle And Sebastian #119, Kid Ink #125, Imagine Dragons #128, Rae Morris #182, Kodaline #190, Striking Matches 'Nothing But The Silence' #191 and The Wombats #200.

FOB top 10, good to see. Maybe next week we will get an all new top 2 with decent sales. If FOB sell more than 30k I will be surprised, but they've had a good release strategy with all the instant grats this week.
Also as I said The Wombats did in fact have Zane Lowes hottest record tonight so that's the new single!
Top 100 update (15/01/2015, 22:00)
The Prodigy back ahead of All Time Low. Woop. Both dropping quite a lot but to be expected as the initial hype wears off. More top 200 pre-orders: Imagine Dragons #119, Halestorm #126, In Hindsight 'You Want Me' EP #128, The Wombats #141, Kodaline #153, Belle And Sebastian #163, Bethel Music #164, James Bay standard #191.
The standard version has been charting all week but the new deluxe version of Gregory Porter's album has only just cracked the top 100. EDIT: Actually entered yesterday but didn't notice oop ~
I've added a list of #1 albums of 2015 to the first post which I will update daily - not massively interesting so far as it was Now! 89 until yesterday, and 'The Weekender' the two days since.

Good to see Rae Morris in the top 100 at last, still massively impressed by FOBs performance - could actually do very well next week - first new No1 album of 2015?!
Fall Out Boy and Mark Ronson will be battling it out for the #1 album next week. The former act has more impressive pre-orders, which will probably put them in the running in the first midweek update, however I think the latter act will have larger post-release sales and will hold up more impressively as the week progresses.
Great to see the Brits have had a positive affect on Jessie Ware, who's album was 190/300 and now both versions are top 100 at #56 and #94.

The Shires appeared on the Radio 2 breakfast show, had a pretty good effect for them with an EP (released a little over a year ago) at #42 and an album pre-order in the top 100. They're apparently a British country act. Who knew such things existed?

Charting on pre-orders alone
yay for a busy albums week finally
Mark Ronson should easily get the #1, as 'Uptown Funk' will undoubtedly give him a big boost with casual buyers
Fall Out Boy's previous album sold just under 25k f/w, depending on how much 'American Beauty/American Psycho' does it could either peak at #2, or possibly get stuck behind the usual Ed/George/Sam trio at #5 (hopefully the former), and for Enter Shikari i'm expecting a safe top 10 finish around #6/7 ~
4. Mark Ronson - Uptown Special
10. Enter Shikari - The Mindsweep
13. Above & Beyond - We Are All We Need
22. Fall Out Boy - American Beauty / American Psycho
33. Belle and Sebastian - Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance
40. Marilyn Manson - The Pale Emperor (Deluxe)
55. The Decemberists - What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World
104. Funeral for a Friend - Chapter Verse (Bonus Track Version)
160. The Waterboys - Modern Blues
184. Sleater-Kinney - No Cities To Love

I was actually expecting to see Fall Out Boy at #1 in the first update given how high up their instant grats were. In an ideal world, we'd have a new T3 for the first time in a while with Fall Out Boy, Mark Ronson and Enter Shikari, but sadly I can see George Ezra, Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran all messing that up; wouldn't surprise me if none of the new releases made the #1
^ it seemed like FOB's pre-orders weren't added on the first update (judging by Ronson/Shikari shooting up and FOB remaining stable). not sure if they've been added now but they're top 2 now anyway~
Mark Ronson 1
Fall Out Boy 2
Enter Shikari 4
Above & Beyond 8
Belle and Sebastian 18
The Decemberists 29
Marilyn Manson 34
The Waterboys 44
Funeral For a Friend 69
Sleater-Kinney 71
Boxed In 178
Etienne de Crécy 196
Good to see some new albums hitting the chart!
Ah, Kid Ink's album isn't out for a couple more weeks - it was in the new release schedule for this week so must have been pushed back.
Top 100 update (19/01/2015, 22:00)
Other pre-orders top 200: Joey Bada$$ #102, James Bay #116, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds #124, Rae Morris #127, All Time Low #128, Imagine Dragons #169, The Cribs 'For All My Sisters' #173 ( they still exist?), Kid Ink #197.
Not quite the all-new top 3 I was expecting, 'The Weekender' must still be selling pretty well to hold off Enter Shikari on their first day of release. I was expecting Fall Out Boy to be #1, their pre-orders seemingly not being added on may be the reason they aren't (Mark would likely have overtaken later in the week anyway).

Charting on pre-orders alone
Björk's new album is #1 Seems the hype around its sudden early release is working wonders. Bjöncé is real.
It leaked days earlier so I imagine they rush released the digital version as it wasn't planned for release for quite a few weeks I thought
Top 100 update (21/01/2015, 22:00)
More pre-orders: The Prodigy #105, James Bay #122, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds #158, Imagine Dragons #165, Kid Ink #180.
I wonder if Björk could outchart her last album even on downloads alone? 'Biophilia' only got to #21 so 'Vulnicura' will only need to sell maybe 7k (accounting for the large number of new releases) to do so. Definitely would have done it last week I think.

Oh Mark back at #1 ~

There have been a handful of new album releases today for some reason (Hardwell, another new Aphex Twin release I wasn't aware existed (was this unannounced or do I just not pay attention?) and Dirty Sterling whoever that may be). Saor Patrol at #23 and #82 were apparently on The One Show today and the Martyn Bennett album at #56 seems to be related to something or other else that was on TV yesterday.

Charting on pre-orders alone
Yeah, I saw the Aphex Twin album on Amazon last weekend but I think it's a deliberately secretive release. Apparently it's a "13-track EP".
Top 100 update (25/01/2015, 22:00)
Apols for lack of update yesterday, was distracted by BJSC stuff ~ Mark has been #1 since the last update anyhow.
More pre-orders: Kid Ink #104, The Prodigy #112, Meghan Trainor standard #132, James Bay #149, Gaz Coombes 'Matador' #153, Ricky Dillon #156, Charli XCX #172, Imagine Dragons #174, Kodaline #175, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds #185.
Meghan Trainor and Rae Morris should be top 10 at least this week, possibly top 5. Actually can't call the #1 at this stage, I don't think Meghan will quite get there and I'm not sure how well Mark and FOB are likely to hold up so I wouldn't be massively surprised if this is finally the week Ed returns to #1 again. The Charlatans, Chicane, Gaz Coombes, Papa Roach and Selena Gomez should all also be new entries this week (there seems to be very little hype for the latter but all her previous albums have gone top 20 - then again this one is just a greatest hits).

Meghan has made it to #1 on iTunes (though I don't think she's miles ahead, I'm sure it wasn't too long ago I checked and she was still stuck behind Mark and FOB). Whether she can do it officially remains to be seen ~
2 Demis Roussos compilations entering the top 100 following the news of his death today. R.I.P.
A pretty decent boost for The Prodigy's pre-order from the premiere of the title track. More pre-orders: James Bay #115, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds #165, Kodaline #167, Charli XCX #185, Sleeping With Sirens #186.

Sad to see Title dropping quite a bit, not expecting it to be #1 now tomorrow sadly
Top 100 update (01/02/2015, 22:00)
Back to a quiet week - it looks likely Bob Dylan will get a #1 album this week, he has impressive digital pre-orders for a highly physical-based act. I'm sure he should easily manage the 20-25k ish he'll need for the #1. Kid Ink could contend for a top 10 album, and Indiana should be at least top 40. Say Lou Lou are finally releasing an album this week apparently, their Sound of... hype is long in the past now but perhaps still enough interest for them to go top 40 as well.
Other pre-orders: Ne-Yo #136, Charli XCX #194.

i've heard the Say Lou Lou album is out on February 25, though there's no pre-order atm so I can't be certain. Would be surprised if it managed to chart in the top 100 at all though (whenever it does get released)
Could be the lowest album no1/overall sales in a while this week.
Yeah, I saw the Say Lou Lou album shows as "unavailable" on Amazon and their Twitter just says it'll be out "soon".
Top 100 update (02/02/2015, 22:00)
Bob Dylan obviously only really picked up pre-orders in the last couple of days! Oop at Kid Ink stalling behind two compilations though.
The release date given for the Diana Krall album on iTunes is 21/10/14 but it appears to be a new release.
Other pre-orders: Marina And The Diamonds #117, Jack Savoretti #123, Ne-Yo #162, All Time Low #186.

Marina and the Diamonds is going to have been on pre-order for SO long by the time it's released in April. Hasn't really left the top 350 either.
I hope Jessie Ware's new single can push her back into the top 50.
Gregory Porter's album moves from #39 to #9 following his Graham Norton appearance with a couple of other versions of it in the top one-hundred as well.
Makes a change to see Gregory Porter getting some publicity, etc.

Charting on pre-orders alone
Prodigy, Noël Gallagher & James Bay preorders looking like decent first week sales!
Pretty much Kodaline will be the #1 album I should imagine, with Jack Savoretti at #2.
As for the compilation chart, expect huge sales for Fifty Shades Of Grey
Jack Savoretti at #2? Where have all his fans suddenly appeared from since his last album peaked at 109?
228. Lucie Silvas - Lucie Silvas - EP
Slay
Sam Smith is probably going to be the #1 album next week he has won 4 Grammys last night, damn Kodaline are going to miss out on a #1 album bugger!!! bugger!!! bugger!!!
69. Lucie Silvas - Lucie Silvas - EP
Really impressive for Lucie Silvas considering she's not been active in years Won't chart overall of course, whether it would count or not, but nice to see it on the verge of the top 50 here.
Top 100 update (10/02/2015, 22:00)
Sam Smith's top version already overtaking Kodaline and the second version also just behind? :/ Maybe Sam actually will beat them to #1. How annoying.
Not a new release but Seafret's 'Oceans' EP entering at #49 due to Radio 1's Track of the Day.
More pre-orders: Madonna v2 #119, James Bay #124, Alabama Shakes 'Sound & Color' #126, Ne-Yo #157, Big Sean #170, Charli XCX #175, All Time Low #186, Hot Chip 'Why Make Sense?' #187.

Great to see the Rebel Heart pre-orders doing much better now. Mike Tyson effect.
As for Kodaline, it does seem likely that they'll miss the top spot - #19 on Amazon whilst Sam Smith is #1 and only 2.5k separating the two in the mids. As I mentioned in the SCP thread, I believe their first album was a midweek #1 despite not making it officially so they've been really unlucky!
Top 100 update (12/02/2015, 22:00)
The Four Owls are apparently an 'ornithological-themed' UK hip hop group. Okay then
Florence pre-order off to a great start, presumably only put up a couple of hours ago
More pre-orders: Kingsland Road 'We Are The Young' #117 (they still exist?!? I'm shocked they didn't split after the single bombed), Incubus 'Trust Fall Side A' EP #143, Charli XCX #152, Slaves 'Are You Satisfied?' #153 (feels like ages since their first album!), Texas #155, The Wombats #160, Marina And The Diamonds #171 (leak effect), Imagine Dragons standard #172, Paul Weller 'Saturns Pattern' (SIC SIC SIC SIC SIC) #186.

Prodigy & James Bay's albums sales are goin to be HUGE!!
Just looked up some Four Owls tracks. I was kind of hoping they'd actually be rapping more about the the birds, but their main lyrical agenda seems to be "we used to smoke lots of weed" and "we're really good at rapping". To be fair they're not bad but they're not very unusual either.
Suspect I may be the only person who's a member of Buzzjack and the British Trust for Ornithology, but I'm willing to be proved wrong on that.
Top 100 update (13/02/2015, 22:30)
Drake's new album is almost certainly the real #1 but still not showing up in the feed at the moment. Florence got as high as #2 earlier <3 Kodaline already out of the top 10 though? Eek.
A small impact from the death of Steve Strange with a Visage compilation showing up in the low top 100.
More pre-orders: Madonna #102, Texas #109, Young Guns 'Ones And Zeros' #110, 'BRIT Awards 2015' #123, The Prodigy #128, Thunder 'Wonder Days' #147, Ibeyi 'Ibeyi' #170, Nightwish 'Endless Forms Most Beautiful' #191.

New single EP releases this week
Charting on pre-orders alone
In regards to #1 albums of 2015, it seems to be a repeat of the #1 singles in the middle of last year - no album so far has spent two or more consecutive weeks at #1 this year and it doesn't seem like it's going to end soon with Imagine Dragons probably going to #1 this week, followed by Sam Smith again, Noel Gallagher and Madonna, taking the run up to 11.
At least the possible upcoming #1s should have good sales rather than reaching #1 due to lack of competition.
Top 100 update (16/02/2015, 22:00)
A little surprised that Imagine Dragons are not even top 2 and the second version is barely top 50 Has something happened with its pre-orders? I know I read that Charli's pre-order got taken down and put back up. In any case, Drake already off #1 and back behind 50SOG.

Charli's album already down to #13. That's pretty underwhelming. I thought having two hits would have given it decent sales.

Ouch for Charli. That's so sad for her. Her album is really strong, it's a shame mediocre pop acts like Meghan Trainor can get a number 1 but this critically acclaimed album is doing nothing. I think the artwork is really awful, it's too garish.
Bat out of hell at 30 on iTunes, does that mean it will likely be back in the official album top 100 on Sunday? I'm not sure what effect iTunes has on album chart, thanks
Charli XCX is amazing, the latest single is the weak link of the album and maybe people aren't buying her album cause they were expecting similar songs on the album
Top 100 update (18/02/2015, 22:00)
Meat Loaf isn't top 100 ALL the time, usually just when the album is cheap (as it is again now )

Top 100 update (22/02/2015, 22:30)
Chris Brown/Tyga could potentially be near the top of the early midweeks, though of course the BRITs effect will defreshen things again so I'd fully predict another top 3 of Ed, Sam and George in some order or another. Other decently high new entries should come from Big Sean, Black Star Riders and Public Service Broadcasting.
Other pre-orders: Emile Haynie 'We Fall' #117, Public Service Broadcasting 'The Race For Space' #142 (certain BuzzJack posters dead), The Prodigy #154, Madonna #165, Rene LaVice #167, Black Star Riders #188.

Modestep still have a fanbase?!?
in terms of 'dubstep' acts Nero are far far better, really hope we hear about their 2nd album shortly.

Fab to see Royal Blood hitting #1! 'Figure It Out' not making quite as big an impact but still doing well for them too. Album might be top 5 again at a push this week?
Great to see RB having a great Brits effect prob due to less people knowing about them!!
Top 100 update (27/02/2015, 22:30)
Whoops not done an update here in a while, apols! Fifty Shades Of Grey remained #1 until Wednesday when Royal Blood took over and they've been #1 since the BRITs (quite impressed they're still at #1 actually).
Not sure why the Jack Ü album has been credited to 'Skrillex & Diplo'. I mean, Skrillex and Diplo ARE Jack Ü, but still odd. Maybe they just decided it'd get more attention from name recognition like this.
Other pre-orders top 200: The Shires #115, Blur #128 (dropped out of the top 100 pretty quickly eek), Rene LaVice #147, Florence + The Machine #159 (also got pretty low), RuPaul 'Realness' #171 (lol), James Bay standard #192.

Top 100 update (08/03/2015, 22:00)
Madonna SHOULD be a clear #1 this week, she may be done as a major force in the singles chart but she still has her fans so a new album should still manage a decent tally. Not much else of note out this week. Rebecca Ferguson might be top 10 but this era has been pretty silent for her.
'Chasing Yesterday' has become the first new artist album of the year to actually spend a full week at #1 on iTunes.
Other pre-orders: Blue #105, Sleeping With Sirens 'Madness' #124, The Prodigy #153, Mark Knopfler 'Tracker' #198.

New artist album releases this week
New single EP releases this week
Charting on pre-orders alone
51 hours before release isn't great for Madge is it? She's on Wossy on Saturday so maybe sell well over 2 weeks instead of one.
James Bay could beat Noël Gallagher in a couple of weeks for the fastest seller of the year as he seems to have constantly been top 100 this whole year. Should break 100k!
Admittedly, Madonna's album does seem low in comparison to where the #1 albums of this year were on their last day of pre-order, but the success of all the instant grats and her performance on Amazon seems to indicate she'll do fine.
I'd say she's more of a physical seller anyway!
35. Madonna - Rebel Heart (Deluxe Version)
Ouch.
Really surprised Madonna didn't go straight into the top 10, considering she spent a long time on pre-orders, weeks in the top 100, and all her instant grats entered really high.
Pre orders aren't included on the iTunes chart anymore, that's why Mage is so low I expect.
Ah, I quite like that Pre-orders don't impact the iTunes chart anymore, it kind of shows how popular an artist is outside their really core fanbase. Madonna is slowly rising, she's up to #17 now, I'm sure she'll be top 10 tonight.
Marina's album is now out in a week, and is only #259
The pre-orders don't get added immediately following an official release anymore, but they still count towards the overall sales.
It's worth noting that, in Madonna's case, the super deluxe edition, which a lot of people will be buying, isn't available on iTunes. As previously stated because of this her physical sales will be much stronger.
Madge up to #13, #235 and #754.
FROOT up to #233
Rebel Heart is flirting between #5 and #6 at the moment. Nice climb.
Which makes her #2 for artist albums.
FROOT up to 195!
Already cracking TOP 200!
Actually I think Froot is fine where it is. I'm fully confident it will go top 5 next week officially even if it only gets to about #8ish on iTunes due to the new rules.
Good to see Froot now in the top 100 3 days before relaese. I'm sure the album'll just have one week of moderately impressive sales before falling away but it's still rather impressive that she's looking to get a top 5/10 album after 2 years doing nothing and literally no radio support or promotion.
Muse - Drones - already number 9 after 1 hour of Pre order!
Well that's another #1 album sorted for Muse, not that it would ever have been in doubt
Wow - Muse are number 1 with their pre-order.
Top 100 update (13/03/2015, 22:00)
Go Muse! First time this year a pre-order has hit #1.
Kendrick Lamar's album still listed as untitled and without any cover art or tracklist despite all of that being revealed now Hopefully there's still a chance that means the album title is a joke
Other pre-orders: Mumford & Sons standard #101, The Prodigy #108, Sleeping With Sirens #113, Marina And The Diamonds #116, All Time Low #132, Mark Knopfler #137, Josh Groban 'Stages' #145, James Bay standard #152, Florence + The Machine #168, Wolf Alice 'My Love Is Cool' #175, Halestorm #188, The Staves 'If I Was' #189.

Sorry if this is being stupid but is Kendrick Lamars new album called 'Untitled'?
Thanks I thought this was the case just thought he was doing that arty HiFi style thing
Sam Smith #1 + #6
Madonna #9
Madonna
4, 81 Rebel Heart
10 The Immaculate Collection
49 Celebration
153 Confessions On a Dance Floor
200 Ray of Light
Froot is out at midnight - currently #142
I think Froot will debut around #6-7 officially now.
Madonna now up to #3 on iTunes, #2 behind Sam on artist albums, this is the highest she's been all week!
Are pre-orders being counted again because Froot is already #8 on iTunes?
She's now #1. Shocked.
Maybe because it's been put up for pre-order since October (?) when the rules were different, it cancels out the new rules and makes the new rules count for the albums that were put up for pre-order after the date it was made official?
(Hope that makes sense )
Kendrick released his album ALSO! A week before.. I guess it will be tight!
As expected Kendrick is now #1. Why couldn't he have just stuck to plan? (I can't complain too much, as I just downloaded his album too)
Given the success of Drake's album (debuting at #3) on less than a full week on sale, I think the hype around Kendrick's album could cause an upset for Marina and the Diamonds sadly. Saying that, Marina's album campaign began back in October and with the lack of single success, if the album can't even hit #1 then it's going to reflect badly.
I didn't really ever see Marina as a competitor for the top spot with or without a "hit"
Kendrick hasn't got physicals until next week though.
I don't think Kendrick will sell many physicals. It's common for Urban and Hip-Hop acts to sell very well digitally. I'm not sure if he will be #1 officially, and I don't think Marina will be either.
I was just put back on preorder in the US, but the clean version is still available.
Something odd it going on then. It's still to buy here? From a first brief listen it's a good album though, really hoping he can do well with this release.
So is there any word as to whether pre-orders are included in the initial update now? I can't believe enough Marina fans bought the album to get it to no 1 in the space of a couple of hours whereas it took Madonna a while to go top 10.
It's blatantly obvious the pre-orders were added on again for Marina Why is another matter, they only seem to be applying the new rules to some releases.
Hoping Kendrick can make at least the top 5 this week if Drake could go top 3 on 2 days of downloads!
Top 100 update (17/03/2015, 22:00)
Earl Sweatshirt's new album is being released in a similar manner to Kendrick's, announced only a couple of weeks before release. I know he isn't a massive name but hip hop in particular seems to be increasingly going down this route (Kanye is doing something similar, stringing us along with no release date but it'll reportedly be out very soon after we find out what that date is). I wouldn't mind seeing this become a major trend across all genres, it certainly makes album releases seem more EXCITING.
Madonna EP thing at #23 seems to be a bunch of songs that aren't on her album. I hadn't heard anything about this release.
Of Monsters And Men's new album doing remarkably well on pre-orders for a band who had precisely one hit which is now long in the past, have they done some promotion recently? Other pre-orders: 'Now! 90' #102, James Bay standard #152, The Staves #169, All Time Low #172, Florence + The Machine #173 (I'd have expected them to be doing a fair deal better than this TBH...), Blur #175, Shawn Mendes #176, The Vaccines 'English Graffiti' #183, Courtney Barnett 'Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit' #191.

New artist album releases this week
New single EP releases this week
Charting on pre-orders alone
The Madge EP contains the songs from the super deluxe edition of Rebel Heart which isn't on iTunes!
Makes sense releasing albums straight away these days IMO always said this.
Don't understand tho why Drake's new album hasn't had any radio 1 playlist support since it was released?
Isn't Florence + the Machine's album out in June? I think being Top 200 on iTunes at this stage is nothing to worry about, especially when they're bound to do a lot of promotion nearer the time (Radio 1's Big Weekend for instance). Even though 'What Kind of Man' made the Top 40, I doubt many people are aware Florence has made a return just yet.
Drake's new release is classed as a mixtape isn't it? Not really sure what a mixtape actually is - if it's as many songs as the Drake release is, I'd class it as an album too or if it were to have 5 tracks, it would be like an EP.
Oh right so each song is mixed into the other, I didn't realise that.
That is not at all what mixtape means In the context of hip hop, mixtapes are generally collections of songs released for free and often contain mostly freestyles over instrumentals of existing songs by other artists. They're also not generally promoted. 'If You're Reading This It's Too Late' was released as a paid download so that it 'technically' counts as an album allowing him to be free of his 4-album record deal (at least according to popular rumours) but it is not intended to be the actual follow-up to 'Nothing Was The Same'.
Yeh I know I've heard a few of Dizzee Rascals mixtapes just couldn't describe it as well as yourself Bre
Top 100 update (20/03/2015, 22:00)
I think Years & Years' album pre-order got to around #6 the day it was added, not bad. I think James Bay's album will outsell theirs but both should be big.
More pre-orders: Mumford & Sons #104, All Time Low #133, Earl Sweatshirt #139, Blur #167, Courtney Barnett #168, Hollywood Undead #174, Florence + The Machine #180, Laura Marlin 'Short Movie' #182, Jme #186, 'Home' soundtrack #189, Tove Lo #196 (for some reason I thought her album had been cancelled here or something).

Charting on pre-orders alone
That's incredible for James Bay! Really hoping he does over 100k. It's out now and already up to #2, #1 in the morning I presume
James is up to #2 and #48.
I doubt he will sell +100k.
It's been top 100 on iTunes for months now. 100k is deffo achievable.
I would be surprised if he didn't pass 100k, #3 on pre-orders ahead of release isn't something that happens very often! Plus he has had a lot of hype and 'Hold Back The River' has grown into a huge hit, not to mention the fact he is exactly in line with the style of music that has commanded huge album sales in the last year or so.
The preorders been top 100 all year, def should break 100k imo
I think James Bay's album will stick around for some time inside the top 10, I guess he is the new Sam Smith in a way. but in a good way, if you catch my drift.
You won't be saying that when he has 4 singles in the top 40 still this time next yr
Let it go for the top 40 next!!
Dear bre, why you stop posting charts? (
Top 100 update (26/03/2015, 22:00)
The Prodigy have been back in the top 10 on pre-orders for a couple of days

New artist album releases this week
New single EP releases this week
Charting on pre-orders alone
Great to see The Prodigy in the top 10 before release on Sunday - they should sell better at the start if the week as they have a big fanbase too - should at least make 50k next week I hope.
Overall disappointed at James Bay's sales as he's selling slowly after the preorder start but 65k is what he's looking at is t to be sniffed at in this day and age!
Sia up to #3 after her appearance on The Voice. It may finally hit the top ten officially.
Prodigy #1 album next week, that's if they can shift more than 40k+
Really hoping The Prodigy should be safe for #1 though their complete lack of singles chart impact doesn't fill me with hope - their album has been doing pretty well on iTunes pre-orders though!
Top 100 update (03/04/2015, 22:00)
SORRY for the lack of updates again ~
The Prodigy never got higher than #3 (that I've seen), stalling behind 'Now! 90' and James Bay They look like they will be #1 in the official chart though which is of course what really matters ~
101-200 pre-orders: Muse #102, Years & Years #155, 'How Deep Is Your House' compilation #179, Blur #188, Mumford & Sons #190.

Will be interesting to see if the new Young Fathers album outpeaks the debut since people actually know who they are this time. I see Alesso has finally announced his album now - just as 'Heroes (we could be)' has probably had its last week top 40 Could have saved me the weeks of 'TBA debut album' in the chart thread!!1!
More pre-orders: Shawn Mendes #117, The Wombats #129, Eurovision compilation #130, James Taylor 'Before This World' #135, Years & Years #138, The View 'Ropewalk' #139 (they still exist???!!!), Jamie xx #157, Jason Derulo 'Everything Is 4' #161.

New artist album releases this week
New single EP releases this week
Charting on pre-orders alone
109. Nero - Between II Worlds {pre-order}
hopefully it gets them another top 5 album (another #1 is probably unlikely considering the lack of singles success this era, I know that didn't stop The Prodigy but Nero's fanbase isn't as big)
Oh I completely forgot that Nero were back again ooops (I am not a good fan x)
Their #1s with their album and 'Promises' were both massive flukes to begin with on pretty terrible sales so definitely not expecting them to come close to that this era.
Top 100 update (10/04/2015, 22:00)
Wow at Tyler, The Creator being as high as #12 on pre-orders Due for release in just a few days, not sure if this strategy will be good or bad for him in terms of the likelihood of it beating his previous album's peak (#17).
Great to see The Prodigy's album still in the top 10 and Mumford & Sons' pre-order picking up again with the release of the new track. Nero now inside the top 100 too.
Other pre-orders: Years & Years #143, Halestorm #169, Eurovision #171, Jamie xx #180.

Top 100 update (13/04/2015, 22:00)
Tyler, The Creator highest new entry on iTunes at least *.* I expect The Wombats / Paul Simon at least will be higher overall though. Don't see any of the new releases getting #1 or if they do it'll be on very low sales, it'll be James Bay back at #1 methinks.
Other pre-orders: Will Young #102, Lucy Spraggan 'We Are' #103 (amazed she still has fans tbh), Mumford & Sons standard #113, Brandon Flowers #142, Tallia Storm 'Social Security' EP #157, Nero #182, Tom DeLonge 'To The Stars... Demos, Odds And Ends' #183, Josh Groban 'Stages' #191.

New artist album releases this week
New single EP releases this week
Charting on pre-orders alone
Wilder Mind setting up for a good first week figure!
Josh Groban #1 album next week bit of a dull week in the album chart, week after should start getting better, Blur release their new album.
Can't see it Martin, Alabama Shakes are probably favourites at this stage but I wouldn't rule out a second week for Paul Simon
God its goin to be terrible on the albums front at least until week beginning 4/5
Josh coming to slay *.*
I can only really see Blur having at 'fanbase' style no1 selling 30k max l
I'm surprised Blur haven't managed to dethrone NOW 90 from the top
1 Blur - The Magic Whip
2 V/A - NOW 90
Noel Gallagher flies up to 5 & 14 after his appearance and performance on Alan Carr.
Mumford & Sons up to 5 & 12 in the preorders after Graham too!
I'd love for M&S to have really big sales again, for me they're sounding better than they ever have before with the change of direction but reactions to it in real life seem a bit muted compared to the usual hype around them. I'm sure it'll be big regardless, I'd say Believe and The Wolf are their two best singles.
Yeh looking forward to the album next week. I like their new stuff. How much did their last album open with?
158,923!
Obviously they won't get near that I'd be pleased with 80k+.
Mumford & Sons at 3 & 7.
I think they can do +100k.
1 & 3
1 & 2
This should signify another opening well over 100k for them.
153. S Club 7 - Best: The Greatest Hits of S Club 7
Not bad for a release with no hype and only one new track
15. Lucy Spraggan - We Are
Quite remarkable for an X Factor act from 2/3 years ago that didn't make the top 5 and is releasing this album on a completely independent label with limited radio airplay!
23. Django Django - Born Under Saturn
Top 40 place please though I'm not sure how likely that is
There's hype for the actual comeback but not for this greatest hits which wasn't even spoken about by their Facebook/Twitter pages until a week ago and had no iTunes pre-order
I presume it's just been thrown together by the record company at the last minute. Probably won't do as well as the Steps Ultimate Collection then.
Yeah definitely not, it's being sold cheap in most places anyway, was up for pre-order for £3.99 on Amazon a couple of weeks ago!
12. Lucy Spraggan - We Are
23. Michael Jackson - Thriller. I don't even know why it's climbed up, not that I'm complaining as it's by far one of his best albums
BEST - S Club 7 re-issue is now #18 on UK iTunes
Oh wow That's doing way better than it previously was! Nice tour boost then, hope it can officially re-enter the top 40 on Sunday
#15
They should at least manage top 100 this week with the (small) physical sales, maybe if they continue like this with the next week of the tour they can have another little climb.
Well it was just outside the top 40 in all the mids so I'd expect top 100 at least I think it can make the top 40 at this rate, I hope so! At least it has the #2 peak from 2003

Thanks for an update Liam. Muse doing very well, I assume it's moved up a lot tonight since Mercy was premiered? Florence in the top 100 as well. I assume download albums pre orders are fairly small since streaming took off in a big way this yr?!
^It's alright! I think album download pre-orders have always been small so I don't think it'll really have made a difference, but they at least show what will be a success or not.

Looks like its between Taylor Swift and Will Young for the #1 album at the end of the week, I imagine the Vaccines could get a top 5 album, Such a poor new release week in the album chart. Some of the old albums will have the weekend effect of One Big Weekend at Norwich.
Artist Album Pre-Orders (Top 200)
051. Florence + The Machine - How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful (01 June 2015)
054. Muse - Drones (08 June 2015)
120. Slaves - Are You Satisfied? (01 June 2015)
160. Jess Glynne - I Cry When I Laugh (14 August 2015)
166. Rudimental - We the Generation (18 September 2015)
I expect the next run of #1s will be Will Young (~40k); Florence (70k+); Muse (80k+); Muse again; maybe Everything Everything; not sure for the next two weeks; Years & Years.
The w/c 1st June should be good with Florence, Slaves, Simply Red, Collabro, The Darkness, Jason Derulo, Jamie XX, Melody Gardot and SOAK all being possible Top 10 entries.
How do you think Wolf Alice's album would do?
I think Wolf Alice will do well enough with sales these days - maybe top 10. Bros will be A listed on radio 1 i would say.
Although i also tink The Vaccines will be No1 this week lol
Conchita to sneak a week in the Top 100 officially this week please - Don't think the album went Top 100 on iTunes when it was released and although it dropped quickly it managed Top 25 after ESC

Wow The Vaccines not doing terribly well on downloads!
No Lifehouse?
Edit: it's at #83,slayyyyyy
HBHBHB by Florence is number 1 on the Album chart of course... YAY!
Jason at #20 in the overall album chart and #11 in the artists album chart if I've counted correctly... ouch
Has Jason Derulo ever been a big album seller?

Sonny Landreth - Bound By The Blues
Tove Styrke - Kiddo
Should be another easy #1 for Muse, albeit likely nowhere close to the 108k opening of "The 2nd Law". Of Monsters & Men reached #3 with their debut album but obviously have little hype/no hit singles heading into this release, thinking 'Beneath the Skin' might do similar to Foster The People's last album? Leftfield's "Rhythm and Stealth" (containing the Top 10 smash Afrika Shox ) reached #1 all the way back in 1999, interested to see how this new one performs. From the others there- Young Guns, Tremonti, Rolling Stones and maybe FFS to grab Top 40 spots? :3

Thanks for the pre order update Liam, anything for Wolf Alice on there?
Thanks, good god, album pre orders are doing terribly now arent they. Still fully expect Bros to be Alisted on radio 1 and be top 5 in the albums chart, ill be buying it physically myself
I'm not sure Wolf Alice have that much of a fanbase, a Top 40 debut would be pretty good for them at this point!

Some of those ore orders are looking terrible!
Following TFI Friday performance:
19. Rudimental - Home (Deluxe Edition) (+307)
32. Rudimental - We the Generation (Deluxe Edition) Pre-Order (+897)
Seems to have had a really big effect for them! Not sure who else performed, if anyone.

A few recognisable names but not any I can see really making the Top 10 i.e managing 8k/9k. Rixton could possibly do it but will probably be #11 to keep up tradition. It's too early for WALK THE MOON to make the Top 10 I think but Top 20 should be done with some ease. It's possible that they could stick around as 'Shut Up and Dance' builds more and more airplay but it's hard to say with these type of acts. If they their second single does well, their album will probably take off again.
Hoping Giorgio Moroder can get himself a Top 20 album - a lot of current names/acts with good fanbases on his album (Sia, Charli XCX, Britney, Kylie, Mikky Ekko, Foxes etc.) which could work in his favour, as well as the Radio 2 support. That said, he surprisingly only has one charting album to his name, so Top 20 may be a bit ambitious (I can see it easily making the Top 40 despite this, though).

Looking forward to hearing the EE album
A handful of potential new entries from this lot; Everything Everything sold 13k of 'Arc' first-week off the back of a Top 40 single (and another that wasn't far off), would like them to make the Top 10 again but I fear they might land just outside. Leon Bridges could do well- his music fits the same kind of market as someone like Michael Kiwanuka, might challenge for the Top 10 also. Not sure how much of a fanbase Wolf Alice have, nonetheless I expect a peak around #20-25 or so. Kacey's last album apparently made the Top 40 so i'm pretty confident this'll do the same. MIKA's been getting strong support from Radio 2, this new album could maybe peak higher than 'Origin of Love' (#24)?

192. Miguel - Wildheart [29 June]
Easy #1 for Years & Years which is fantastic. I'm thinking about 30k first week.
As far as album download pre-orders go, Rudimental are going to rack up a lot if they're going to keep a mid-September release for their album.
That's excellent for Kacey! She seems more like a physical seller than a digital seller too so hopefully top 10 is in the bag
Jungles album getting that glasto effect at no2 :0
Florence at 4 with Lungs at 11!
I can't even spot a new album release this week, apart from the Glasto effect, oh well Florence #1 again, unless Lionel Richie gets there with his collection album.
Could be on course for the lowest selling #1 album this week (5 days) hmm... under 10k
James Bay could fill the summer lull well him and Florence who seems to be doing well these eras - though the sales will be 10k a week!
I wonder if there's a small chance that Krept & Konan could get the #1 album this week, taking advantage of the 5 day sales week. Their last release made the top 20 and they are now much bigger, with a top 10 single behind them. Their album did really well on iTunes pre-orders when it was first put up as well.
Y&Y are 9 and 35, album out tomorrow. Clearly a #1 but how much will it sell?
I've learnt not to take big predictions so I'm going for 30k/40k. I can see them sticking around a long time with festivals and whatnot over the summer, plus 'Shine' is getting support from MOR radio.
I'm pretty sure it will be more like 30-40k indeed. Which is still astonishing for a debut album in this dire album climate! If they have strong enough post-album single(s) I can easily see them going Platinum.
I think 40,000-50,000. I think anything under 40k would be slightly disappointing.
I could see a load of singles getting released/re-released and get instant support from Radio 1 which will keep their album a float a la Catfish and the Bottlemen and The 1975 and the like.

9. The Beatles - 1. Brilliant album but don't know what's caused this to climb
Price dropped by £3 to £8.99.
Says something for the Beatles that £8:99 is considered a bargain price for a 15-year-old compilation album.
...Says the guy who paid £175 for the boxed set of mono CDs.

Are Years & Years looking at a second week at #1?
Yay for Little Mix. Get those pre-orders.
Hoping Tame Impala do well this week, their last album got to #14 so at least top 10 this time?
Hope so Cause I'm a Man is lovely!
The Chemical Brothers' album is still on pre-order until this Friday on iTunes, was its release suddenly pushed back a week or is it just out to download a week after the physical...?
58. Various Artists - The Bodyguard - The Musical (World Premiere Cast Recording)
This was released yesterday. Alexandra getting that iTunes top 100 relevancy
My guess is that the Chemicals fancy their chances of a Number One album and would rather be competing with Y&Y's third week than their second.
Would love for The Chemical Brothers to get another #1 album, assuming this one will actually be allowed to chart of course (their last album was classed as a DVD or something IIRC so wasn't eligible to chart)
5. Bugzy Malone - Walk With Me
Looks like Dr Dre is looking at a #1 album next week, nothing else sticks out apart from Frank Turner, Don Broca and Julio Bashmore.
Still shocking that Dr Dre has overtaken NOW 91
This is Dr. Dre's final album and his first for 16 years, a pretty obvious #1.
Dunno whether being iTunes only will mess up Dre's chances though.
Possibly, but it'll only need to sell 15k or so to get #1 and I'm sure that's not massively out of the ordinary for major releases on iTunes (there are probably people who never download albums from iTunes downloading 'Compton' just because it's not available elsewhere yet). It was certainly not surprising that it overtook Now! 91 on iTunes at the very least.
Jess Glynne up to #4 on pre-orders. Wtf? Looks like she'll smash 100,000 first week sales and beat a decent band like Bon Jovi to #1

Bon Jovi coming for yet another #2 album, it's actually comical how badly they time their releases. They did have 5 #1 albums in a row but 7 of the 8 releases since then have been #2 and this looks like making it 8 out of 9
There's amazingly little hype about this Bon Jovi album, isn't there?
Its not a proper album, just a collection of (mainly) old unreleased tracks.
They are still working on a new album for release in 2016
The Bon Jovi album is basically a mish mash of old unreleased songs for hard core fans [assuming they have any left!].
tbf I'll give it a listen.
I think the fact that I didn't know that probably proves my point.
I didn't know that either, but I'd still expect it'll sell enough to be #2 anyway. Won't take much.

Interesing chart battle this week. Foals are 5 and 30 on the amazon chart while Weeknd is 16. I fully expected Weeknd to be more of a digital seller, so I can actually see Foals still taking this. But we'll see.
I forgot Ella was finally out this week
Such a good week for albums, want to listen to Ella, Halsey, Weeknd and Foals
Halsey slaying.
Really hoping for Foals to get a first #1 album this week. I wouldn't be surprised if The Weeknd beats them though, he's really made a name for himself this year.
5 Iron Maiden The Book of Souls - Could this be number 1 next Friday?!
Out 11th of Sept
19 Bring Me the Horizon That's the Spirit
48 Stereophonics Keep the Village Alive (Deluxe)
258 Leona Lewis I Am (Deluxe)
Looks like it'll be an easy #1 for BMTH. Leona should still make the top 10, possibly 5 depending on the promo she'll have lined up.
Out 18th of September

Busy week that week. I'm hoping Lana can snatch another album #1 but her biggest competition is Rudimental, who, even though they seem pretty far down, have had their pre-order out for about 5 months, whereas Lana's has only been out for 2 weeks. I just hope Sir Cliff doesn't somehow sell monstrous amounts of physicals. Carly should be safe for the top 15, I'd say - possibly top 10, as she has some decent promo coming up. I'd say Gabrielle should be top 10, too. Hopefully Rhodes doesn't bomb

BMTH Vs Stereophonics. The former will be very front-loaded but I think they could manage it. I hope Phonics pull it off though. Top 5 for Libertines and top 10/15 for Leona? Hopefully a good top 40 for Kwabs.

Oh how the mighty have fallen, who would've thought back in 2011 that Leona Lewis and Nero would be looking unlikely to hit the top 10 with an album
Phonics at 2 and 32 *.* slayyyyy. Amazing album too.
Could be de cent top 5 album sales this week with the Phonics, Libertines and BMTH released.
BMTH have held up incredibly well on iTunes. I would have expected them to have fallen by now. (I know the Vamps EP has overtaken them now).
Seen Stevie Wonder has climbed to #2. This anything to do with carpool karaoke with James Corden?
Good to see Leona climbing on the album itunes chart. It is a gem of an album.
10. Leona Lewis - I Am
Reached a new peak, still optimistic it could remain in the top 10 by Friday
27 Lana Del Rey Honeymoon
56 David Gilmour Rattle That Lock (Deluxe)
261 RHODES Wishes (Deluxe Version)
272 Carly Rae Jepsen E•MO•TION (Deluxe)
293 Gabrielle Aplin Light Up the Dark (Deluxe Edition)
347 Rudimental We the Generation (Deluxe Edition)
Things not looking great for Rudimental at all! Who'd have thought Carly Rae Jepsen would be outselling them on pre-orders?!
Looks like David Gilmour will almost certainly be number 1 next week, as his digital version is starting to really climb now and his phyical looks like it's selling a lot more than Lana's (it's been #1 all week on Amazon).
I'd love to see Carly, Rhodes and Gabrielle make the top 10 but it might be difficult, though Gabrielle has 3 or 4 signings next week which could help.
One hour before release...

1 Drake & Future What a Time To Be Alive
Wow, that went to number very quickly.
Though I'd like to say it'd be an easy top 3, I'm not sure since while Drake's last mixtape sold around 21k in two days, it was quite front-loaded and only sold 13k over the next 7 days. Also, this is an apple exclusive this time so it isn't on Google Play, Amazon digital or Spotify.

It looks like delaying the album and getting the Ed collab out their first really has helped the album
It looks like Sam Smith's Album will soon have a new burst of life. He is re-issuing it as the 'Drowning Sorrows Edition' on Friday 6th November. It's
had a 2nd CD added to it, with 9 Tracks. The Tracks include Duets with John Legend & Mary J Blige. One of the added tracks is his cover of Whitney's
How Will I Know, & another is his cover of Amy Winehouse's Love Is A Losing Game. The OCC will combine its Sales with those of the original version.

^ interested to see who gets the #1 this week- unless Rudimental hold up immensely well then we could get Jess Glynne/David Gilmour/something else returning there by default. John Grant doing surprisingly well on pre-orders, hopefully he'll nab a Top 10 spot with this new album

Jamie Lawson will likely end up with the #1 this week then. Demi should do what Selena looks unlikely to do and go Top 10, also hope Nothing But Thieves manage that too.
John Newman not doing so well, could probably still go Top 10 but reviews are mostly saying it's a disappointment compared to his debut, and the singles have certainly reflected that.
No surprise to see Take That re-releasing - I suppose ~500k for the main edition is pretty disappointing for a band who usually hit 2m without much effort!

I love the fact that the deluxe version of 1989 has been £29.99 for the last few days and they still haven't recognised the mistake!
I wonder if people are actually stupid enough to buy it for that price too!
I saw a Turin Brakes album that was £799.99 on Amazon downloads once. Don't think anyone bought it at that price.

Adele to remain at #1 on pre-orders until its release.
Not expecting at all for 21 to do what 19 did and re-enter the Top 10 for lots of weeks but returning for a week or so definitely seems doable. It probably won't be long until its in touching distance of the 5 million (!!) mark - currently on 4.775m so even if it manages like 100k in the next 10 weeks (?) until the Year End Chart, it'll nearly be at 4.9m.
4. Adele - 21. Who's still buying this? I'm sure everyone has it by now. Let's hope she doesn't stop 5SOS from getting a well deserved #1 album
My uncle's album didn't get to Number One either. Does that mean he deserves a Number One next time?

This is aready doing better than I thought, I imaged low top 40 at best. Hopefully a top 20 come next week.
Is Coldplay album coming out in December? If so Adele's stay at number one in the album charts will be shorter then predicted

Ellie is lower than I anticipated. I guess she'll pass over Adele by tommorow - hopefully a 20k+ opening is still on target for her.
Fleur's album is appearing in the top 100 now as well. It was #76 earlier when I checked; now I can't get on the LivePopBars feed because my laptop is running slowly.
Amazingly high position for Anastacia's hits collection, but it's deserved. She's very underrated, a great artist.
The '25' pre-order is now back up to #2, only behind a compilation! Bieber's pre-order also up to #3.

I'm surprised NOW 92 can't overtake Adele. I reckon it will be the first time since 2009 where an artist album outsells a NOW album in its first week
Very low chart placing for Olly Murs

20 Benjamin Clementine - At Least For Now
Did Anastacia perform on Strictly at the weekend? Seems like it's had zero impact on sales of so - Her GH is at #50 even though they dropped the price to £5.99
Her performance is shown tonight on the results show
I'm actually surprised it has risen that much on itunes.
Ana all the way back up to 15 on itunes. Glad the promo paid off.
Fleur's album has been floating around the 100-150 mark for most of its release (except for after her XF performance when it climbed into the top 30), and right now, somehow, it's fallen all the way to 244. Oh dear. It's not doing great on Amazon either, but I can't think of why Fleur's fanbase or the general public would bother to pre-order her record. I think her physical sale will have a high percentage share of her overall amount rather than the digital copies she sells or her pre-orders.
Sigma at 65, but dropping from the 45 position they were at after their XF appearance. I doubt they'll sell many physical copies.
Troye Sivan at 140. Blue Neighbourhood shot straight to #1 upon its availability. Most of his first week sale will probably already been accounted for through his pre-order, to be honest.
I agree with Joe that releasing the album after a second single in January would have been a better plan. Sax is certainly a novelty song as well.
I still think she shouldn't have a problem going top ten, and will sell consistently over December anyway. There's always a chance of her record to peak higher next year if more singles are successful and push its sales.
Tomorrow's largest pre-orders in comparison to the last update I posted in brackets:
Coldplay - 5 (6)
Sigma - 53 (65)
Fleur - 67 (244)
Troye - 70 (140)
Fleur gonna surprise us all and knowck Adele of the top
Troye up to 42 OMG! I hope he sells surprisingly well. The Guardian gave Blue Neighbourhood a 5/5; that critical acclaim will be helping him.
1 Coldplay A Head Full of Dreams
2 Adele 25
15 Fleur East Love, Sax and Flashbacks (Deluxe)
18 Troye Sivan Blue Neighbourhood (Deluxe)
Coldplay may manage a week at the top after all
Coldplay doing an Adele and not allowing the album on Spotify yet
And because the albums at the top of the chart are further apart, the top end is almost always the same as the sales chart. It's only lower down that streaming seems to make any difference.
1 Coldplay
6 Troye
7 Fleur
8 Sigala
Sigma is doing really well, but I can image it'll be a 70% digital seller. I can't see this selling many physicals at all.
^ all Rita Ora fans will buy it, so 5 sales in total
curious to see how Coldplay do this week after the supposed predicted underperformance in the US
Coldplay won't get to #1 but I still think some of the sales predictions have been a bit on the low side on here.
Sigma and Troye will be lucky to sell 20% on physicals, if that. HMV aren't stocking either in their front sections, and had a poor amount in stock in their artists sections. They won't sell anything in Supermarkets, because 1) those stores which only sell a small amount of CDs won't have it in stock at all, and 2) who is going into the Supermarket to pick up a Sigma or Troye Sivan album anyway?
Troye will do okay in Physicals (In the first week) as he has a strong fanbase, and loads will have ordered Physicals from his store.

1. NOW 92 I imagine it will beat its first week sales
Adele back up to #1
Hope the Sigma album can climb now it's been reduced on iTunes (Also less than £5 in HMV today) - They took far too long to release it though
NOW 92 back at the top where it belongs
