Will Taylor Swift spend a second week at #1, new tracks come in the shape of Maroon 5 collaborating with SZA on their new track of 'What Lovers Do', Paloma Faith unleashes a new track titled 'Crybaby' from her forthcoming studio album 'The Architect', Matoma feat. The Vamps 'Staying Up', Jason Derulo 'If I'm Lucky' (will he be lucky), and Mollie King let's her 'Hair Down' . Other tracks that could reach new peaks from Macklemore feat. Skylar Grey 'Glorious', Katy Perry feat. Nicki Minaj 'Swish Swish', and Charli X 'Boys'.

In the album chart, The Script are looking to secure the #1 album with 'Freedom Child', LCD Soundsystem 'american dream', Jack Bugg 'Hearts That Strain' and one of my favourite bands from the 80s, Orchestral Manoeuvres In the Dark 'The Punishment of Luxury' all looking for a top 10 chart entry. Other album releases this week from Mogwai, Bicep, Newton Faulkner, Daughter, Starsailor, Motorhead, Scooter and Bars & Melody (yawns).

Of which only half will actually have a chance of actually making the top 20, knowing how good his predictions are.

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 2nd September 2017, 07:00 PM

Can we have 17 new entries in the Singles chart Top 20 instead?

Posted by: T Boy 2nd September 2017, 07:01 PM

No, we need Pink to stay top 3.

Posted by: 777666jason 2nd September 2017, 09:34 PM

Pink could still stay top 3 in that situation

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 2nd September 2017, 09:36 PM

Hopefully the Script can get the number 1 album this week.

Posted by: SKOB 3rd September 2017, 09:37 AM

10 NE's in top 20 is a possibility I'd say.

Divide will of course remain at #2 with similar numbers it always has or is Jake Bugg popular enough to overtake?

Posted by: Bjork 3rd September 2017, 10:26 AM

the last Jake Bugg album had lots of radio 1 support and did 16K in week 1, the new album hasn't had any support and has zero buzz and pretty poor reviews, so don't think he will be a threat for the Scirpt, will be an easy #1 for them I'd say

Posted by: girl_from_oz 3rd September 2017, 12:01 PM

LCD Soundsystem are currently ahead of The Script on Amazon physical sales, judging by Amazon the big new entries on the album charts will come from those 2 plus Jake Bugg, Mogwai, OMD, Steve Winwood, Motorhead

Posted by: KY420 3rd September 2017, 04:18 PM

Sorry Not Sorry looks set for the Top 10 this week, and with Feels on ACR the door is open for Havana to possibly nab 10th. It's going to be really close between a few tracks (Despacito or Sun Comes Up could block) but I would really like to see it get there. One of my favourite tracks of the year and would also be a Solo Charting high for Camilla in the UK Charts.

Although Taylor dropping another track could end that dream!

Posted by: THEO. 3rd September 2017, 05:48 PM

Taylor is definitely coming for iTunes #1 with "...Ready For It?" and with "New Rules" at #1 on Spotify for the week so far, "Look What You Made Me Do" could lose overall #1 this week

Posted by: JosephStyles 3rd September 2017, 06:25 PM

I think Look What You Made Me Do should keep the official #1, it's still selling just under double Dua on iTunes and the Spotify lead will decrease later in the week like it did last week.

Posted by: cqmerqn 4th September 2017, 04:15 PM

I think it'll look a bit like this...

01 Taylor Swift - Look What You Made Me Do
02 Dua Lipa - New Rules
03 Pink - What About Us
05 Taylor Swift - ...Ready For It?
08 Demi Lovato - Sorry Not Sorry
10 Camila Cabello - Havana

Should be very close between #1 and #2 though. New Rules could snatch it back.

Female overload

Hopefully O.M.D will stay top 5, but I doubt it, its actually a decent album, I think it will settle for a top 10 position, probably around #6/ 7 by the end of the week.

Crybaby not debuting top 40

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 4th September 2017, 04:41 PM

Posted by: 777666jason 4th September 2017, 05:35 PM

Top 25 after less than half a day surely she should go top 10 with ease although hopefully not at the expense of demi

Posted by: SKOB 4th September 2017, 05:40 PM

Oh dear at Jake Bugg...

Posted by: Jason 4th September 2017, 05:43 PM

So, Look What You Made Me Do combined only 6k a day really? 42k on Friday then?

Mogwai WHO selling more than Jake Bugg, thanks UK public.

Shocked at Despacito at #8.

Posted by: ___∆___ 4th September 2017, 05:47 PM

Disappointing for Jake - it's a really good album but it's been panned by the critics and seems to have zero media support.

Great to see Katy Top 20

Posted by: ___∆___ 4th September 2017, 05:50 PM

Was anyone expecting anything different though? It troubled the lower reaches of the iTunes Top 40 for a few minutes then promptly plummeted, seeing as her debut was a #90 smash with a lot more hype around it I wasn't expecting anything for this.

Posted by: omrimayo 4th September 2017, 05:51 PM

Yap, amazing.

Nice to see Pink continue slaying and Maroon 5 entering. Shame not to see Paloma top 40 tho.

Posted by: Envoirment 4th September 2017, 07:08 PM

Does P!nk have a chance at #2 with her streaming increasing? Hopefully she'll be able to climb to #2 or even #1 next week.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 4th September 2017, 07:10 PM

The Script very safe for number 1

Posted by: No Sleeep 4th September 2017, 07:51 PM

I wonder how Kelly will do next week... Heartbeat Song sold 44k first week, obviously her streaming will be minimal but I hope she can get another top 10.

Posted by: The Hit Parade 4th September 2017, 07:55 PM

Never understood the appeal of Jake Bugg myself, but it seems his last album must have put a lot of people off; I know it entered high but it sold pretty poorly in the long run.
Say what you like about Mogwai, they've had more hit singles than him.

Posted by: Jason 4th September 2017, 08:52 PM

According to Polyhex Jake Bugg had 2 UK top 30 singles and Mogwai had only 1 top 40(11 years ago).
Shame Jake Bugg's Love, Hope and Misery - one of my fave songs of all time - wasn't top 100 though.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 4th September 2017, 10:46 PM

Omg at Fifth Harmonys drop in albums

Posted by: M4NG0 4th September 2017, 10:47 PM

Only just noticed that. Could potentially be out of the Top 100 come Friday!

Posted by: The Hit Parade 4th September 2017, 11:11 PM

OK, I admit Jake Bugg has had more singles success than I realised.

I still know more Mogwai songs (well, tracks) than Bugg ones.

Posted by: Bjork 5th September 2017, 05:53 AM

NME gave the new Jack Bugg 2 stars out of 5 and had a headline saying "he's lost his way", which sure isn't helping sales. But his previous also got bad reviews too

Posted by: SKOB 5th September 2017, 06:40 AM

He's also kind of act that lives and dies based on the reviews..which is quite sad

Posted by: truly talented 5th September 2017, 09:31 AM

So much for being a critic's choice recipient. Once the hype dies down. Tom Odell another example.

Posted by: Bjork 5th September 2017, 09:36 AM

Tom odell? Did pretty well for both his albums, similar chart stories

Posted by: mdh 5th September 2017, 09:46 AM

Speaking of Tom Odell, how did Magnetised go top 40 when it was so hard to do so at the time? Was it on Hot Hits UK/a streaming hit, 'cause I can't remember it ever doing much on iTunes...?

Posted by: danG 5th September 2017, 09:55 AM

was a #23 sales hit that week plus people streaming the album on its 1st week!

Posted by: Bjork 5th September 2017, 10:01 AM

He was pretty lucky that Magnetised went to @40
But well-deserved, its a great song
Talking about critics, Nme famously gave Tom Odell's debut a 0 :/ but still sold well

Posted by: LadyLea 5th September 2017, 11:28 AM

"Trials and Tribulations" is even the name of an LCD Soundsystem song.

Co-incidence much?.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 5th September 2017, 11:50 AM

Wasn't a performance on a TV show a big factor in it as well? Or am I mistaken?

Posted by: Herbs 5th September 2017, 12:34 PM

That's one of my favourite albums. Boo to nme

Posted by: 777666jason 5th September 2017, 01:33 PM

Unless I'm very much mistaken would taylor have even been considered a critic choice nomination even in 2008/9 ?

Unless you misquoted me

Posted by: Hadji 5th September 2017, 01:56 PM

Seeing as the compilation Soul Grooves seems to be sold out in supermarkets, I expect it to topple NOW 97 from the top of the compilation chart

Posted by: cqmerqn 5th September 2017, 05:02 PM

Omg, Taylor Swift is going to stop Demi from going top 10

Posted by: JosephStyles 5th September 2017, 05:11 PM

I say this without seeing sales, but I could see Despacito being leapfrogged and pushed out of the top 10 potentially as that obviously has streaming against it!

Posted by: 777666jason 5th September 2017, 07:01 PM

Hopefully this despacitio has had its time top 10 Demi deserves it more

Is LWYMMD remaining at #1 and RFI staying top 10 seem likely? <3

Posted by: cqmerqn 6th September 2017, 05:04 PM

Do you think Demi will do it Joseph? Ready For It will probably overtake.

Posted by: Rob Spears 6th September 2017, 05:05 PM

I can see SS dropping out of the Top 40 of it's moved back to 99p on Friday, its streaming wont be enough to hold it up.

Posted by: White Mustang 6th September 2017, 05:08 PM

Airplay is though, I can see it dropping to low top 40, and hang there for a while, Capital just moved it up the playlist for example.

Posted by: cqmerqn 6th September 2017, 05:08 PM

Megan McKenna will probably be top 40 on Friday

Posted by: JosephStyles 6th September 2017, 05:12 PM

We don't have any extra sales of course so I can only base this off iTunes and Spotify but I'd say all of the above shouldn't change - LWYMMD will be #1, RFI will probably climb up the top 10 and Demi should stay in!

Posted by: cqmerqn 6th September 2017, 05:15 PM

Thanks!

Posted by: Rob Spears 6th September 2017, 05:20 PM

Yes it's getting radio play, but I think the 59p decrease and the exposure of being in the iTunes Top 10 is benefitting it more. After all, it's still only around #75 on Spotify.

Posted by: JosephStyles 6th September 2017, 05:22 PM

Its Spotify performance is actually really quite good for a song not on Hot Hits UK tbf.

Posted by: Jack 6th September 2017, 05:27 PM

It's actually really sad how much an impact playlists make on becoming a chart hit

Do the public really need to be spoonfed that much?

Posted by: 777666jason 6th September 2017, 05:42 PM

Yes at demi climbing gives her a better chance staying top 10

And with sales that low could the second Taylor sneak top 5 ?

Imagine it could have been top 3 with a full week

Posted by: Rafael x 7th September 2017, 12:05 AM

Harry up to #27 on albums, but no Two Ghosts due to Spotify

Posted by: ___∆___ 7th September 2017, 01:30 AM

Disappointed that Katy hasn't held on to Top 20 with 'Swish Swish' but it's still doing MUCH better than I ever expected - I never thought it would outpeak its original position of #40.

Posted by: Supercell 7th September 2017, 07:29 AM

Going to be close next week should nothing else big be released, Taylor may struggle to hold on given she's now fallen behind P!nk on downloads and Dua on streaming. Either P!nk or Dua are within a chance next week or even Megan McKenna

Posted by: timjimlee 7th September 2017, 08:04 AM

Albums as well as Singles looking wide open next week - both on low Sales.

Posted by: Bjork 7th September 2017, 08:12 AM

sam smith sure is gonna be #1 by miles on itunes... so it all depends on how he does on Spotify. but even with little streaming he could be #1 overall... the song is gonna be instantly addeed to R1 and R2...

Posted by: Court 7th September 2017, 08:23 AM

Two Ghosts barely troubled the iTunes top 100 after his performance and is already almost out of the top 200. I don’t think Spotify is the only problem.

Posted by: Supercell 7th September 2017, 09:47 AM

Ah didn't realise Sam Smith was releasing tomorrow. In that case I wouldn't be surprised if he goes to no.1, he'll have fairly decent download sales at least.

Posted by: girl_from_oz 7th September 2017, 12:12 PM

Good to see OMD holding on in the latest mids, hopefully they're album will remain top five, they haven't had a top ten album since Sugar Tax

Posted by: girl_from_oz 7th September 2017, 12:13 PM

Either him or this new Zayn/Sia song, I expect that will do well on spotify as well

Posted by: mdh 7th September 2017, 06:18 PM

Yeah I can see Sam Smith taking it next week, with maybe P!nk at #2 and Taylor at #3...? Also think ZAYN will do a lot better than we think.

Posted by: Bjork 7th September 2017, 06:38 PM

was thinking if Dua could return to #1 next week... she's 75K ahead of TS on Spotify today and doing double than Pink... she's low on itunes but everybody is selling little there, don't think Taylor or Pink are even doing 3k per day on itunes...

Posted by: StillJupiter 7th September 2017, 06:39 PM

It's no different to radio playlists controlling what people bought in the past. There has always been more music released than is given a huge marketing push.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 7th September 2017, 06:44 PM

It's much different. This is essentially people just playing a playlist through passively and that making up a large percentage of streams.

Posted by: SKOB 8th September 2017, 07:37 AM

Based on first listen, Sam Smith is not going to do much... Although his fanbase might guarantee a one-week-#1
