Posted October 5, 200916 yr Two of the most successful female artists of all time are in a battle to top this coming Sunday’s UK albums chart, with just several hundred sales separating Barbra Streisand and Madonna. A Jonathan Ross special screened with Streisand last Friday has helped sales of her current Columbia album Love Is The Answer lift by around 44% week on week as she looks to achieve her first UK chart-topper with a new studio set since 1980’s Guilty. Her number ones since then have been retrospectives: 1982’s Love Songs and The Essential Barbra Streisand 20 years later. However, Madonna is not too far behind at this stage of the week with her Warner best of Celebration and could well recapture the number one crown taken from her last week by Paramore’s Fueled By Ramen/Atlantic album Brand New Eyes. Island signings Mumford & Sons are likely to claim highest new entry honours with their album Sigh No More presently among the week’s biggest sellers, while veteran rockers Kiss also look poised for the Top 10 with the newly-issued Roadrunner/Warner album Sonic Boom. At least half a dozen other brand new albums should debut in the Top 40 at the weekend, among them new retrospectives from Chris Rea (Rhino/Warner) and Andy Williams (Sony) and new studio albums from Tiesto, who is signed to Musical Freedom, Jive/RCA’s Backstreet Boys and Virgin’s Air. Jive act Chipmunk is strongly placed to debut at one on the singles chart with Oopsy Daisy, which is currently outselling its two nearest rivals combined: Fascination/Polydor act Saturdays’ brand new single Forever Is Over and the Roc Nation/Atlantic-issued Empire State Of Mind by Jay-Z featuring Alicia Keys. Island act Taio Cruz, who secured a third week at one last Sunday with Break Your Heart, is the next biggest seller. Whitney Houston is on course for her first Top 40 hit in nearly seven years with the Arista/RCA release Million Dollar Bill, while expect a number of double-digit climbers within the 40, including from Epic’s Daughtry, Island’s Tinchy Stryder and Atlantic’s Jason Mraz whose long-running I’m Yours’ sales have almost doubled from last week after X Factor contestant Lloyd Daniels performed it. Meanwhile, 4AD act The Big Pink should make the Top 40 for the first time with their new single Dominos.

This really is the year of the over 50's, at least where albums are concerned!
October 6, 200916 yr Fantastic sales for the Chipmunk (no matter if I like the song or not), and :o at David Guetta and Akon, still selling more than 10k on Sunday and Monday.
October 6, 200916 yr Barbra at #1. :o Could hit 80k easily now. At *least* - quite possibly even 6 figures! :( Due to it not previously being available in any form, sales could very well be quite front-loaded, though... Edited October 6, 200916 yr by vidcapper
October 6, 200916 yr No sales info - other than all the above sales info, you mean? :w00t: :rofl: I always forget to remove that! Mikey likes to be prepared just incase I'm unreliable and dont show up :heehee:
October 6, 200916 yr happy for the saturdays even if that song doesn't really deserve to be that high. It's more low top10 material... by the way good for them. we'll see if they can hold on during the week.
