January 30, 201214 yr Author Midweek Charts: Del Rey boosts flagging albums market Source: MW 15:50 | Wednesday February 1, 2012 By Paul Williams Singles Canadian teenager Alyssa Reid, a former contestant on her nation’s TV talent contest The Next Star On YTV, is currently leading the singles market with the newly-issued 3 Beat/AATW single Alone Again featuring Jump Smokers. It had sold around 40,000 copies up until the end of Tuesday, about 6,000 copies more than closest rival Titanium by Positiva/Virgin’s David Guetta featuring Sia. Sales of Titanium are up 45% on the week as it holds at two in the midweeks while Jessie J’s Domino remains third, Global Talent/Polydor’s Cover Drive drop to four after debuting at one on last Sunday’s chart with Twilight and the Atlantic-issued Wild Ones by Flo Rida featuring Sia holds a five. Sales of Island’s Gotye featuring Kimbra single Somebody That I Used To Know have almost doubled on the week to move it 7-6, while sales of J/RCA’s Pitbull featuring Chris Brown release International Love are up 28% to lift it 10-9. Lower down, rock gets a much-needed boost in the singles market with Feeder’s Borders, issued through their Big Teeth label, currently showing up as a new entry at 35. Albums Lana Del Rey’s Born To Die has become the first big-selling new album of 2012 after taking just three days to clock up nearly 70,000 sales. The newly-issued Polydor album looks an absolute certainty to top the UK artist albums chart this weekend with Official Charts Company Data showing that by the end of business on Tuesday it had outsold its nearest seven challengers combined. The strong sales for the US singer-songwriter are just what the market desperately needs after Asylum/Atlantic act Ed Sheeran’s + returned to number one last Sunday with the lowest sales for a chart-topping album since September 1995, just 20,607 copies. That is less than a third what Born To Die has sold this week with four more days of business still to go. Also already beating the week-end sales tally of last week’s number one is Old Dies, which is showing up as a new entry at number two for Columbia’s Leonard Cohen. With around 26,000 sales already and more than 15,000 units ahead of Sheeran’s album in third place, Cohen looks very likely to debut at two on the week’s final chart this Sunday to equal his highest-charting album in the UK, achieved by 1969’s Songs From A Room. Parlophone act Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto, which was second on last Sunday’s chart, is presently in fourth place, while XL’s Adele album 21 drops 3-5. As her single Domino continues to perform strongly, holding at three in the midweeks, Lava/Island Jessie J sees her album Who You Are lift 13% in sales week-on-week to rise 7-6 on the midweeks. However, the biggest percentage sales gain belongs to Chistina Perri’s Atlantic album Lovestrong, up 106% to move it 37-10. Sales of her single Jar Of Hearts are also significantly up – by 98% - after Torvill and Dean danced to it on ITV1’s Dancing On Ice last Sunday evening. TV has also helped to lift sales of Arctic Monkeys’ Suck It And See after the Domino act performed on Jonathan Ross’s ITV1 show last Saturday, albeit more modestly and from a lower base. The album moves 85-64 in the midweeks with an 84% increase. A handful of independent albums should debut this coming Sunday: the Southern Fried-issued Be Strong by 2 Bears; Because Music’s self-titled Django Django album; David Arnold and Michael Price’s Silver Screen-issued Sherlock – Music From Series 1; and Proper-signed Gretchen Peters’ Hello Cruel World. A new Decca Louis Armstrong retrospective is also set to arrive, while the same company’s Etta James album At Last – The Best Of is on course to move into the Top 75 following the singer’s death on January 20. =================================================== Wednesday Update Top 40 Only Source: Radio 1/OCC Singles N/E 1 Alyssa Reid feat.

January 30, 201214 yr Author Midweek Charts update: Del Rey nearing 100,000 sales 10:34 | Friday February 3, 2012 Source: MW By Paul Williams Singles Fewer than 1,000 sales separate the two main challengers to top the singles chart this weekend. Just ahead is the newly-issued 3 Beat/AATW single Alone Again by Alyssa Reid featuring Jump Smokers, but Positiva/Virgin’s David Guetta featuring Sia single Titanium is fast gaining ground. Its sales are 42% up on the week and it must be fancied to overcome Alone Again by the end of the chart week. Albums Lana Del Rey’s Born To Die is on the verge of becoming the first album this year to sell more than 100,000 copies in a week in the UK as Leonard Cohen heads towards his highest-charting release in more than four decades. Del Rey’s Polydor-issued album had sold around 92,000 copies up until the end of business on Thursday, according to the Official Charts Company, putting it more than 60,000 sales ahead of the rest of the market. With two more days of trading still to go, Born To Die’s figures for this week are already very impressive given in the first four weeks of 2012 sales of the number one album have ranged from 20,678 to 38,380 copies across an entire week. The nearest album to Del Rey’s is the Columbia-issued Old Ideas by Leonard Cohen who is far enough ahead of Asylum/Atlantic’s Ed Sheeran album + in third place on midweek sales that he seems assured of debuting at two this coming Sunday. If he does it will be his highest-charting album since Songs From A Room peaked at two back in 1969. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Top 40 Only Singles 1 Alyssa Reid/Jump Smokers (1k ahead) 2 David Guetta/Sia 3 Gotye/Kimbra 4 Jessie J 5 Cover Drive Top 10 Pitbull 10 Lana Del Rey [bTD] Top 15 12 Pixie Lott Ed Sheeran [D] Top 20 Lana Del Rey [VG] Top 30 Christina Perri Birdy Charlene Soraia Top 40 R.I.O./U-Jean James Morrisson ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Albums 1 Lana Del Rey (90k) 2 Leonard Cohen (30k) 3 Ed Sheeran 4 Adele [21] 5 Coldplay Top 10 6 Jessie J Noel Gallagher Top 15 David Guetta Christina Perri Top 20 Drake Snow Patrol 20 Adele [19] Top 30 The Black Keys Django Django The 2 Bears 30 Rihanna [Loud] Top 40 Louis Armstrong 32 Rebecca Ferguson 33 Kelly Clarkson James Morrison Ben Howard NO SALES INFO ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ARTIST UPDATES Singles Kelly Clarkson 5+3 Olly Murs 10+6 Katy Perry 20+3 Rihanna Feat.

January 31, 201214 yr Top 2 albums: Lana Del Rey, Leonard Cohen Leonard Cohen hasn't had a top 20 album in 40 years...
January 31, 201214 yr But he has a current single supported by Radio 2, hype behind his comeback and Hallelujah has become a modern classic. Chris Isaak reached #6 last week, can't see why Cohen couldn't do that and even better considering the relatively low sales in top 5. Edited January 31, 201214 yr by SKOB
January 31, 201214 yr Author I think Titanium will have a good chance at the #1, its going to have a nice chart run :D finally peaking #1. If it gets there, it be my favourite #1 of the year so far...
January 31, 201214 yr SHAME MDNA :cheer: sorry MADONNA is releasing on a Fri, not going to know till sunday where charts Only good thing is low single sales may be a good sign for no1 debut :dance: :w00t: def wkend WATCH OUT SHE BACK, & BACK FOR GOOD :yahoo:

January 31, 201214 yr Wow, yes, that is fab :wub: Probably more excited than I should be for this album. As for the single, I think it will debut low top 20 and climb to top 3 next week. Singles sales aren't THAT low at the moment, certainly not as bad as the albums.

January 31, 201214 yr If Del Rey is outselling the top 10 she could have sold between 40-70k in sales?
January 31, 201214 yr Looks fab!! I can't wait! :wub: :wub: :wub: I'm comfortable believeing she'll never make an album as good as Ray of Light ever again :(

That is ambiguous - to be #1 then *by definition* she must be selling more than the other songs in the top 10. If OTOH, they mean she is selling more than the rest of the top 10 *combined*, then they should have made that clear... :rolleyes: Edited January 31, 201214 yr by vidcapper

If OTOH, they mean she is selling more than the rest of the top 10 *combined*, then they should have made that clear... :rolleyes: They said the same thing a few weeks ago. It soon became clear that the album )or it might have been a sing, I can't remember) was not outselling the whole of the top ten put together. Therefore, they might just as well have said that it was outselling the rest of the top 1000.
January 31, 201214 yr Twitter Our artist @AlyssaReid is Number 1 in the midweeks, lets keep her there, buy her track 'Alone Again' here http://t.co/YTKY26Au
January 31, 201214 yr Well, I would be entirely surprised if she was outselling the rest of the top 10 combined. Say the average sales for the other nine albums is about 15k by the end of the week they won't have shifted more than 5k in the first two days. Say 4k, multiplied by nine is 36k. She'll be quite frontloaded so 80-90k by the end of the week doesn't seem so outlandish.
