Joel Corry & MNEK should safely remain at #1 for a third week. Leading this week's releases are Billie Eilish's new single my future, and Sam Smith & Burna Boy with My Oasis, plus new tracks from Bastille/Graham Coxon, Disclosure/Fatoumata Diawara, McFly and The Vamps

Taylor Swift's folklore could spend another week at #1, although Dublin band Fontaines D.C.'s second album A Hero's Death may put up a fight. Other new releases include Alanis Morrissette's Such Pretty Forks in the Road, Creeper's Sex, Death & The Infinite Void and Max Richter's Voices

Breakdown of the week
- Saturday: Some information may be posted on social media but it is likely to be missing most streaming data and is unrepresentative.
- Sunday: Official First Look Chart on Radio 1 from 6-7pm. Please do not post spoilers on the forum in advance as this ruins the countdown for any listeners.
- Monday: OCC Top 100 from 5:45pm
- Tuesday: Top 40 update as and when we receive them with requests, this is NOT 100% guaranteed however. The OCC may publish sales flashes of their own accord but likewise, this is not guaranteed. Twitter and social media is your friend for today. Please post any information you find with a source. Do not nag for updates, we will post a top 40 update if we receive one.
- Wednesday: Top 40 update from Music Week from 5:45, and potential top 5 sales but this is not guaranteed.
- Thursday: See Tuesday.

Other notes (please read)
- You may make requests Tuesday to Thursday but outside the top 40, specific positions will not be revealed (unless deemed necessary by a mod).
- Please do not demand a midweek update, one will be posted as and when we receive the information. Patience is a virtue.
- Sales information will be given out as deemed necessary by a moderator, please bear this in mind when making requests. Most requests for sales will be ignored. Any chart requests between No. 41 to 100 will not be answered after Monday's update.
- To keep everyone in the loop of all chart action, please refer to the iTunes and Spotify threads.

Not her best but still pretty good...it sounds almost it's taken something from Amy's album!!!

The lyrics for My Future are really nice but the song is a bit disappointing, doesn't really go nowhere

I'd expect Billie's song to drop and Watermelon Sugar to clinch No.3

Genuinely quite sad that none of the Taylor tracks have stayed in the top-twenty. I like Cardigan but I love August a lot more (maybe that should have been the lead...)

Also for the life of me I don’t underhand why Watermelon Sugar has never been discounted to 59p? Doing so would net the song a lot more sales and help Harry get his second UK number one..

Big meh from me this evening :/

Posted by: Bjork 2nd August 2020, 06:31 PM

I'm positive Cardigan will be comfortably top 20 come Friday, maybe even top 15

Posted by: Bjork 2nd August 2020, 06:40 PM

Don't think Taylor's album is holding up well enough on streaming to be #1 again :/
think it will be Fontaines for certain and won't even be close

Posted by: Cognizant 2nd August 2020, 06:44 PM

Also Folklore has been increased to £10.99 (from £8.99 last week) on iTunes..

Bit odd

Posted by: Bré 2nd August 2020, 06:50 PM

Comparing the Spotify positions for Taylor's 3rd through 12th songs (the important ones for determining album streaming sales) with where Juice WRLD was at this stage in his second week (where he ended up selling 11.8k):

Taylor: 35, 43, 48, 52, 68, 69, 74, 75, 79, 82
Juice: 26, 35, 38, 43, 77, 80, 83, 89, 96, 101

Given that Taylor will have significantly higher pure sales than Juice and her streaming numbers are looking similar if not slightly better than Juice's (I think she is doing similarly to or better than Juice was at this stage on Apple as well) I would say she's looking like maybe selling 15k second week? If that's right Fontaines D.C. will need to more than double their first week sales from their last album to beat her. Not impossible (especially if I am overestimating Taylor) but I still think it's more likely than not that Taylor will hang on. Will probably be closer than I originally thought though.

Folklore is a more suited to Autumn/Winter.

From MW

The Official Charts Midweek Sales Flash is in, and Fontaines DC are off to a flyer in the albums chart.

The Dublin band's second album A Hero's Death has raced clear at No.1 with sales of 14,472, almost 10,000 ahead of nearest challenger Creeper, who are at No.2 with Sex, Death & The Infinite Void (5,030 sales).

Taylor Swift's reigning chart-topper Folklore drops down to No.3, selling 4,680 units, while there are new entries for Alanis Morissette's Such Pretty Forks In The Road (No.4, 3,968 sales), Psychedlic Furs' Made Of Rain (No.5, 2,973 sales) and Paul McCartney's reissued 1997 LP Flaming Pie (No.7, 2,770 sales).

Elsewhere, Billie Eilish has made an instant impact in the singles chart, with My Future (11,714 sales) straight in at No.4. The Top 2 are unchanged - Joel Corry ft. MNEK continuing at No.1 with Head & Heart (29,143 sales) and Savage Love by Jawsh 685 & Jason Derulo (20,926 sales) holding firm at No.2.

Harry Styles leaps 7-3 with Watermelon Sugar (12,857 sales) and Nathan Dawe ft. KSI's Lighter (11,682 sales) dips 4-5.

Posted by: TinyDancer 3rd August 2020, 05:00 PM

Wow, I guess Fontaines D.C.'s fanbase really has just exploded that much this quickly then, I really thought that them getting to 15k by the end of the week let alone almost being there in the first mids would be a pretty optimistic prediction. Once again I ought to just not question RFC's insights on bands like this happy to see it though!

I do wonder what their second week drop will end up being though ('Dogrel' went 9-73 for reference, I obviously don't think this one is also going to fall as far as #73 given how much it is overperforming their first album's debut week but still wouldn't surprise me if this gives us the 1-out of top 40 run that we've nearly seen a couple of times this year with The Streets and particularly Sports Team).

Pop Smoke looking like he might make it to make it 5 straight weeks in the top 3 on the albums chart, that's quite amazing for a rap album. I'd guess Drake's 'Scorpion' (which also had 5 consecutive weeks in the top 3, 6 in total) is the last one to match that? Eminem's last 2 albums both only spent 4 weeks in the top 3, can't immediately think of any other rappers who even come close to the level of longevity Drake and Eminem get unless I'm forgetting someone obvious.

edit: was forgetting Stormzy but he only had 3 consecutive and 4 total weeks in the top 3 with 'Heavy Is The Head'. Also Post Malone whose last album spent 3 weeks in the top 3.

I think Fine Line could make a whole year top 10 with a peak of only #3.

Posted by: JosephStyles 4th August 2020, 10:59 PM

It wouldn't surprise me if Fine Line falls out of the top 10 as we move into Q4, or even before then if we have a busy week (it so nearly fell out a couple of weeks ago!), but its longevity has been SO impressive - I doubt anyone saw this coming, I know I didn't!

For comparison's sake, this is how it fares in comparison to the other 1D / solo albums:

Most Top 10 Weeks

33 Fine Line *
10 Take Me Home
09 FOUR
09 Made In the A.M.
07 Up All Night
06 Midnight Memories
03 Harry Styles
02 Flicker
02 Mind of Mine
01 Walls
01 Heartbreak Weather

Most Top 40 Weeks

83 Up All Night
50 Take Me Home *
33 Fine Line *
28 Midnight Memories
21 Made In the A.M. *
14 FOUR *
12 Harry Styles
09 Flicker
05 Mind of Mine
04 Heartbreak Weather
01 LP1
01 Walls

* still charting

Fine Line has spent longer in the top 10 than all 1D-related albums spent in the top 40 except the first two...! And over triple the previous highest tally for top 10 weeks.

It’s been huge for him, agree it’s a shame it hasn’t made the top 2 yet though.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 5th August 2020, 02:59 PM

Harry really has done great with Fine Line and seeing it against all the one direction releases showcases it more. Fine line still has a good few sales left in yet but it seems to be consistently selling about 5.5k every week since its release. Wouldn't be surprised to see a deluxe release later in the year.

I really hope Dance Monkey Can cling on for a 50th week Top 40, and then it can leave.

Posted by: The Hit Parade 5th August 2020, 06:52 PM

To be fair, releasing *eight* CD versions is a bit desperate.

Posted by: Bré 5th August 2020, 06:54 PM

I'm not thrilled with the prospect of Chris Brown getting another top 10 hit but on a purely musical level 'Go Crazy' is several universes preferable to 'Dancing In The Moonlight' so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It is a pretty annoyingly catchy song, I can definitely see why it's done so well. ('No Guidance' on the other hand did even better and I still don't understand what appeal that tedious pile of junk ever had...)

Posted by: Bré 5th August 2020, 09:34 PM

Were all the pre-order sales already added in in today's update? Seems there were only a couple thousand of them if so, so maybe her getting back the #1 still isn't quite a foregone conclusion. I'd be surprised if there were that few though... (although I suspect her pre-ordered vinyl sales will probably be higher and those are still not going to be shipped for a few months).

vastariner • 18 hours ago
That's one of the most pathetic and desperate things I've ever seen when it comes to the charts. Missing out on one week, when she's bound to have got it next week and probably the rest of the month, would mean nothing to EMI and Taylor Swift but would mean the world to an upcoming band that may never get a similar chance. Just sheer spite and manipulation with basically placing the album where they want with the pre-orders.

I think there situation is different in UK-US cos in the US all the pre-orders for CDs, vinyls, cassettes from her website came with a download
so they already counted for week 1 even if shipped later
but in the Uk, chart rules are different and only count when shipped, so I guess they're counting now

Any info on 'Take You Dancing' position?

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 6th August 2020, 07:07 PM

I discovered The Coronas a few months ago and love what I've heard! Surprised I hadn't heard of them before though seeing as they've been around 17 years.

Yeh the Coronas have been around for years, remember seeing them when I was at uni about 15 years ago!

Does 'Hallucinate' have any hope of making the top 40 this week?

Posted by: mdh 6th August 2020, 08:05 PM

It helps that Fontaines have the 6 Music crowd behind them who are generally keen on purchasing physicals - Glass Animals’ have a younger and more streaming-oriented fanbase by large.

Is Alanis safe inside top 10? I am a bit worried she may end at #11....

Is LM still top 30?

i don't understand why some of you are pressed over Taylor and EMI's decision. they did what any label would do to get another week at #1. No problem at all. hoping she can get it!

Posted by: The Hit Parade 6th August 2020, 08:56 PM

I don't really know why they care that much though. It's already been Number One, it'll be Number One again, what is there to prove?

Posted by: Bjork 6th August 2020, 08:56 PM

The Coronas are great, there are lots of amazing Irish bands that are huge in Ireland
but never had done anything in the UK (ie The Frames)

I'd say Head & Heart will pass 80k for the week

I really don't think it's a Tesco mistake I got my copy from Amazon (4th August release) and some of her store orders have been shipped already, it's also available at HMV now

and Taylor deserves an album with more than 1 week at #1 it's crazy she hasn't had it already!

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 6th August 2020, 10:53 PM

Especially as she'd certainly have the #1 the week after

Posted by: JosephStyles 6th August 2020, 10:54 PM

folklore is one of the most acclaimed albums of the year, certainly Taylor's most acclaimed, so it being her first album to spend a 2nd week at the top would be amazing. Not saying it wouldn't be amazing for Fontaines too but I think there are different ways to look at it, they're not entitled to the #1 just because Taylor's been there already after all!

Posted by: Steve201 6th August 2020, 10:56 PM

And no one said they were just like Taylor isn't entitled to multiple weeks at the top. It would mean ALOT more to a small upcoming indie band.

I would argue the opposite the obvious pro Fontaines posters are quite calm and posting facts with their view points whereas the pro Taylor posters are (as per usual) being over dramatic and Stan like at the thought Taylor might miss out on a second week. I mean the first few pages had posts playing down any chance of a second week and the narrative changes as the week developed.

It's all a bit of fun to me anyway as I was LOL at the comments.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 6th August 2020, 11:03 PM

I'd agree with you there on twitter Steve, but I wouldn't say there's been any over dramatic reactions here on either side

Posted by: JosephStyles 6th August 2020, 11:04 PM

Beyond one or two posters I think everyone's been quite calm - nobody actually expected Taylor to be in contention at all after the initial mids as physicals weren't expected until next week, so naturally people have been more interested in whether she'll overtake in the past two days (and, barring a last-minute sales report from her webstore, she won't overtake). If Fontaines get the #1, then good on them, I've got no opinion as I've never heard one of their songs but it's an impressive achievement nonetheless. #2 would also be amazing though, it's not the end of the world if the #1 did get nabbed by Taylor at the last second.

As far as Taylor "deserving" the #1 goes, well I think we all think that about albums we love. I could name loads that I think "deserve" #1 after all, it's not a comment worth overthinking imo
