Robbie should have no problem getting to the top 20 :D

Hope he doesnt knock florence out :(

Yay JLS in top 20 :D

I guess The Fame: Monster sales won't be combined with The Fame? It would be the only way Gaga can overtake KOL, but maybe SuBo will get there first!

I hope Cheryl will get there soon.. :unsure:

TFM seems to be counted as a different album, so that's another hurdle passed for the Kings ^_^

Come on Florence, please stay top 20

Also, do you think that SuBo could be the year end number 1?? :huh:

I think she will just fall short of catching Kings of Leon.

I think 3

What a disaster for U2 i dont think it will even manage top 25 by the year end, a hugely disapointing era for them but then again in my opinion it didnt deserve any better.

 

Kings of leon will probbaly hold number 1 but with the way susan boyle and jls are selling at the moment they end up for very high in the list, and im delighted that take that should pass 500,000 sales again this year for the circus, im hoping the circus can reach 2 million by year end.

If Gaga's Fame monster is combined she could topple the KOL. :w00t:

I thought the rules had changed and so Fame Monster will be counted with Fame, unlike Amy Winehouse a couple of years back (whose Back To Black is now counted as one album in the all-time chart).

Yes i think it is so should easily pass KOL. Just hope she can hold Subo off and be the biggest selling album this year!!

So, is 'The Fame Monster' sales definately combined with 'The Fame' ??

Yes. ^_^

 

Her only competition is Susan Boyle tbh, TF(M) should easily pass KOL now.

Peter Andre has outsold the arctics. How embarrassing :(

Robbie should be top 20 next week. ^_^

I'm not too certain that the The Circus album will reach that target Pete! However ... the DVD of the tour has sold 82,414 in its first 24 hours of sales (cheers Iris). So that's a nice little bonus! I should imagine the live album release will take sales away from the original one too. It'll get to the 2 million mark eventually but it may be Spring next year.
