Predicting the 01/02 to 07/02 chart

Funk's #1 in every city, every state, every country you know

'Uptown Funk' seems to have #1 on lock for a sixth consecutive week and 7 weeks in total - the last record to do both was Leona Lewis's 'Bleeding Love' in 2007! There'll be a fair few new entries in comparison to last week, including Fergie's 'L.A. LOVE (La La)', Rihanna, Kanye West & Paul McCartney's 'FourFiveSeconds', Karen Harding's 'Say Something' (NOT the song by A Great Big World/Christina!) and Hannah Wants & Chris Lorenzo's 'Rhymes' which are all hoping to get Top 10 placings. Further down the chart should see Selena Gomez' 'The Heart Wants What It Wants' and Maroon 5's 'Sugar' enter whilst there could be a re-entry for Esmée Denters' 2009 #7 hit 'Outta Here' following her entering as a contestant on The Voice UK.

 

The #1 spot in the albums seems quite open at this stage: it's possible that Mark Ronson will stay at #1 for a second week, Meghan Trainor's debut album Title will enter at #1 or Ed Sheeran's x could re-climb to the top spot. The Top 10 should also see Sound of...2015 nominee Rae Morris enter with Unguarded whilst other new entries should come from The Charlatans, Papa Roach, Bethel Music and Gaz Coombes.

There should be a nice shake-up at the top end of the singles chart this week.

 

In albums I think Meghan could pip Ed to the #1 spot. Mark should complete the top three.

By the way, that’s the Meghan Trainor album at no1. Ronson is still squatting atop the singles chart like a man with the shits

Mint Royale @MintRoyale · 19m 19 minutes ago

Look at @raemorrismusic at number 4 on the album midweek!!!!

 

Rihanna/Kanye/Paul at #6 in singles

https://twitter.com/MintRoyale

On twitter.. Charlatans #2.

 

Tim Burgess ‏@Tim_Burgess 13m13 minutes ago

Modern Nature is number 2 in the midweek album charts. Wow. Thanks a million to everyone who's bought it/ listened to it and loved it

I should imagine Mark Ronson and Fall Out Boy make up the rest of the top 5.

Urgh, I'd rather not see Meghan Trainor get the #1 album - Ed managed 23k last week, are people expecting her to sell beyond that? Pleased to see Rae Morris at #4 though, hopefully it can hold a T10 placing.

 

Fab to see 'FourFiveSeconds' at #6 already, hoping it and 'L.A. Love' can both come close to 100k.

'Solo Dancing' at #80 currently, very successful re-release I'm sure we'll agree.

 

 

I don't know if this is sarcasm? Either way, it has actually done better than I expected, I didn't think it would go top #100. I still think it was a pointless re-release since it's already a top 15 single though.

 

 

UF sold under 100k last week on downloads so very doubtful that Rihanna or Fergie can do the same, I predict 80k for #2, whichever song that is.

If it was done at a reduced price (59p) then I imagine it would have done a lot better with this re-release, but as you say considering it has already been a hit it does seem rather pointless. Just looks like the label have a lack of confidence in the rest of her material.

 

EDIT: Just seen it has actually been reduced to 59p now haha.

I think it was reduced last night or this morning. It's had a decent affect too. Jumped 20 places.

Its quite a refreshing chart this week, seeing quite a few new entries and the occasional classic re-entry, at least some of the deadwood is falling out for now.

Whatever happens in the top 5, Ed to be as far from it as possible :drama:

 

 

Lol you know for a fact that Ed will end up in the top five if he's not there already. :rolleyes: I doubt that Fall Out Boy will have enough purchases to remain top five, on the other hand. Charlatans' sales will probably be fanbase-driven and will drop as the week continues.

 

Happy that Rihanna and co. are just outside the top five in singles already. Hopefully it remains consistent on iTunes throughout the week.
