Posted January 17, 201115 yr Adele chasing first number one single 10:40 | Tuesday January 18, 2011 By Paul Williams Source: MW Singles While Mars seems assured top billing on the albums chart come the weekend, in the singles market he has his work cut out as XL’s Adele looks for her first chart-topping single. Her brand new offering Rolling In The Deep is presently ahead of Mars’ Grenade, albeit by just 254 sales. Her single is one of four new releases showing up among the top six positions with Ministry of Sound’s Wretch 32 featuring L’s Traktor in fourth place, Interscope’s Coming Home by Diddy – Dirty Money featuring Skylar fifth and the Mercury-issued Like U Like by Aggro Santos and Kimberley Walsh sixth. Jive/RCA’s Britney Spears’ newly-issued single Hold It Against Me is just a few sales short of a Top 10 place, ranking 11th for the week to date, putting it two places ahead of Fascinatiom/Polydor’s newly-released Mow Or Never by Jodie Connor featuring Wiley. Albums Bruno Mars’ debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans is heading for number one this week, but he faces a close battle with Adele to stay at the top of the UK singles chart. The newly-issued Elektra/Atlantic album is more than 2,000 sales ahead of Fiction/Polydor act White Lies’ Ritual, which was also released this week and currently ranks in second place with Def Jam/Mercury signing Rihanna third with Loud. Parlophone’s Tinie Tempah appears to be benefiting from the publicity of his four Brit nominations last week with sales increasing of his first album Disc-overy by nearly 50% on the week. The album, which was eight on last Sunday's chart, is the sixth biggest seller in the week so far. Just outside the Top 10 Rough Trade-signed Oregon rock band The Decemberists are heading towards their highest position yet in the UK with new album The King Is Dead ranking 12th at this stage of the week. Two veteran rock acts will also show up in Sunday’s chart with new sets from UDR’s Motorhead and SPV’s Magum currently 19th and 23rd for the week. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Top 40 Only Singles 1 Adele {254 copies ahead} 2 Bruno Mars 3 Jessie J 4 Wretch 32 5 Diddy & Dirty Money ft.

January 18, 201115 yr Motörhead for #1!! Some of those singles listed really depress me.. Edited January 18, 201115 yr by SKOB
January 18, 201115 yr Wow, I hate Adele's new single. You really think it'll be no. 1?? Edited January 18, 201115 yr by hitmusic
January 18, 201115 yr I reckon in today's midweeks:- Adele #2 Wretch, Diddy, Aggro #5-#10 Jodie #11 Britney #15-#20, probably lower end of that
January 18, 201115 yr I reckon the top 5 today will be 1) Grenade 2) Rolling In The Deep 3) Do It Like A Dude 4) Traktor 5) Like U Like
January 18, 201115 yr I'd love White Lies to have the number one album but it will probably be Bruno Mars.
January 18, 201115 yr i think bruno mars will probably have the no1 on both charts in todays mids adele could overtake during the week but i will be surprised if he doesnt have the no1 album on sunday
January 18, 201115 yr Mids in:- Singles Adele #1 :o Wretch #4 Diddy #5 Aggro #6 Britney #11 Albums Bruno #1 White Lies #2
January 18, 201115 yr Adele :w00t: Definitely wasn't expecting that! Really hope she will stay there. Great for Aggro and Jodie aswell. Good start for Britney, will climb into the top 10 tomorrow I think. Brilliant to see Olly back in the album top 20, is Thinking Of Me still top 40? Edited January 18, 201115 yr by Poker Face
January 18, 201115 yr wow, either bruno's second week sales aren't as high as everyone thought they were or that adele's sold a lot of physicals
January 18, 201115 yr Surprised to see Adele at #1 Pleased for Britney, good start :) Edited January 18, 201115 yr by Anterny
