Posted November 23, 200916 yr Susan Boyle looks on course to achieve one of the highest first-week tallies for a debut album in history after her inaugural offering I Dreamed A Dream took just a day to top 130,000 sales. With the highest first-day sales of the year so far for an album, the Syco release is currently outselling the rest of the week’s top five sellers combined, according to Official Charts Company figures, and could well beat the highest first-week sales of 375,872 for a debut album set by Leona Lewis two years ago. Boyle’s virtually guaranteed debut at the top of the artist albums chart this coming weekend will be accompanied by her first hit single as her cover of The Rolling Stones’ Wild Horses, which she performed on The X Factor last Sunday, is poised to debut in or around the Top 10 of the singles chart. The strong sales for the Britain’s Got Talent runners-up’s album will mean yet another week when the top of the UK albums chart is filled by an X Factor star guest, while her nearest sales challengers have both performed on the show this season: 2008 finalists JLS and 2006 winner Leona Lewis. However, Peter Kay looks likely to break X Factor’s stranglehold on the top of the UK singles chart where the last five chart-toppers have been by artists who have performed on the show. Kay’s Children In Need single The Official BBC Children In Need Medley, which debuted at 18 on the chart last Sunday, has opened up a 17,000 sales lead in the week so far. Its closest rival is The X Factor Finalists 2009’s version of the Michael Jackson hit You Are Not Alone, which debuted at number one last weekend. Lady GaGa’s Interscope/Polydor single Bad Romance is the biggest sales gainer among the Top 10 sellers in the week so far just as a new version of her The Fame album, entitled The Fame Monster, heads towards a Top 10 debut on the albums chart. Rihanna’s brand new album Rated R is also expected to start life in the Top 10, while fellow Mercury act Mariah Carey’s Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel is not far behind. Like Boyle, both Carey and Rihanna will have new entries in both the singles and albums charts this coming Sunday with Carey expected to enter the singles countdown with her cover of the Foreigner chart-topper I Want To Know What Love Is and Rihanna claiming another hit with Russian Roulette. On the albums chart another busy week for new albums should result in chart entries this weekend from the likes of Epic’s The Priests and Decca’s Fron Male Voice Choir as well as new retrospectives from Janet Jackson (Polydor), UB40 (Virgin) and Britney Spears (Jive/RCA).

November 24, 200916 yr I really don't see Peter Kay being number 1. It will be top 5 by the end of the week, possibly top 3, but Jason or BEPs will beat it to the top.
November 24, 200916 yr What id like: 1. Mariah carey 2. BEP 3. Lady Gaga 4. Xfactor finalists 5. Peter Kay Albums: 1. Susan 2. Janet 3. Leona 4. BEP 5. MAriah Not gonna happen though...
November 24, 200916 yr I really don't see Peter Kay being number 1. It will be top 5 by the end of the week, possibly top 3, but Jason or BEPs will beat it to the top. I agree. Susan Boyle - Wild Horses should be about #4 by the end of the week too.
November 24, 200916 yr Author I really don't see Peter Kay being number 1. It will be top 5 by the end of the week, possibly top 3, but Jason or BEPs will beat it to the top. I prefer BEPs to get the #1 it be a nice symmetrical run for them, with all their 3 hits of the year returning to #1 for a second time, that's never been done before. :o a la BBP and IGF.

November 24, 200916 yr Author I thought you hated songs that went back to number one :lol: I do... but this is different, when its a hat trick from 1 act.
November 24, 200916 yr What id like: 1. Mariah carey 2. BEP 3. Lady Gaga 4. Xfactor finalists 5. Peter Kay Albums: 1. Susan 2. Janet 3. Leona 4. BEP 5. MAriah Not gonna happen though... mariah No1 def not gonna happen you said it m8 has she eva had a no1 album???? Songs is dire 2 YET ANOTHER COVER VERSION zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
November 24, 200916 yr Quick question, Will 'Fame Monster' chart independatly, of will it just get bundled with' The Fame' :unsure: I really really hope Janet and Mariah make top 10. It's about time Janet had another top 10 album - it may only be a GH but it's still more than deserving :lol: I also hope BEP make it back to #1 :P
November 24, 200916 yr I think it will be listed seperately as a new album, and if people buy just the original version, it will have it's own chart position. mariah No1 def not gonna happen you said it m8 has she eva had a no1 album???? Songs is dire 2 YET ANOTHER COVER VERSION zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz In English please? :kink:
November 24, 200916 yr Hey, Cant wait to see Britneys position! I hope its Top 10! By the way, does all three formats including the CD, CD/DVD and Boxset count as one? Thanks.
November 24, 200916 yr In English please? :kink: I believe they are trying to say that Mariah hasn't had a #1 album before... which is true unless you count the multi platinum selling Music Box and Daydream :D Edited November 24, 200916 yr by Glyn
November 24, 200916 yr I'm expecting huuuuge early sales for SuBo. Maybe 200K if it includes presales.
November 24, 200916 yr Digital Spy are saying that she's scored 150,000 in the midweeks and HMV are thinking that she'll be able to do 400K in a week - for Susan Boyle http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a18...lbum-sales.html Edited November 24, 200916 yr by Knightr634
November 24, 200916 yr Speaking of Mariah, whatever happened to "Obsessed"? It only peaked at number 52 and only lasted two weeks at the charts in the UK. Was the release cancelled?
November 24, 200916 yr Speaking of Mariah, whatever happened to "Obsessed"? It only peaked at number 52 and only lasted two weeks at the charts in the UK. Was the release cancelled? It has not been officialy released in the UK until this last Sunday when the album came out. When it charted at #52 it was due to the remix version bein included in a random R&B remixes album... And her record company retiring the song from iTunes so it couldn't chart higher... A total mess... Had it been released in the UK, as in the rest of the world, it would have probably been Top 10.
