Posted January 25, 201016 yr Keys to the chart 11:11 | Tuesday January 26, 2010 By Paul Williams Alicia Keys is poised to score the highest-charting album of her career to date in the UK as her performance on Jonathan Ross’s BBC1 chat show last Friday prompts a huge leap in sales for The Element Of Freedom. The J/RCA-issued album, which was at eight on last Sunday’s chart, now stands as the third biggest-selling album of the week so far behind Florence + The Machine and Paolo Nutini, according to OCC Data. Providing the album, whose sales are up 46.8% week on week, remains in the top five by the end of the week it will mark a new chart high on the UK albums chart for Keys whose previous best peak on the chart occurred in 2001 when her debut release Songs In ‘A’ Minor reached number six. Her track Empire State Of Mind (Part II), meanwhile, is making rapid progress on the singles chart and is expected to move from 15 into the Top 10 this Sunday. On last Sunday’s chart just 211 sales separated Florence’s Island-issued Lungs and Atlantic-signed Nutini’s Sunny Side Up and in this new chart week the gap between them remains tiny with Florence again having slightly the upper hand. Lungs is a few hundred sales ahead of Sunny Side Up with The Element Of Freedom in third place and Decca act Andre Rieu’s Forever Vienna and Interscope/Polydor’s The Fame by Lady GaGa completing the top-five sellers. Having reached number 12 with their first album Music For An Accelerated Culture, Leeds-based Hadouken now look set to make their Top 10 debut with the newly-issued follow-up For The Masses the seventh top-seller at this stage of the week. It could be joined in the Top 10 this coming weekend by Rhino’s soundtrack to the movie Alvin & The Chipmunks 2 - The Squeakquel. The album was at 22 on last Sunday’s chart, but its sales since last week have more than doubled. Two newly-issued Sony live albums look set for Top 40 debuts: A Reality Tour by David Bowie and Dolly Parton’s Live From London. They should be joined in the 40 by the brand new album from Domino’s Four Tet, There Is Love In You, while a new Charlotte Gainsbourg album, released by Because Music, is aiming to give the French artist her first-ever UK Top 40 hit. The top-five sellers on last Sunday’s singles chart make up the five biggest sellers in the week so far, but in a slightly shuffled order. Island’s Owl City, who climbed to one last weekend, leads again with Fireflies, although Epic-handled Glee Cast’s version of Don’t Stop Believin’ is its new closest challenger, overtaking the Reprise-issued Replay by Iyaz. Starstrukk by 30H3 featuring Katy Perry and issued by Asylum/Atlantic and the Data-issued Riverside (Let’s Go) by Sidney Samson featuring Wizard Sleeve remain among the top-five hits. =========================================== Top 40 Only Singles http://images.musicnet.com/albums/036/571/319/c.jpeg 1 Owl City 2 Glee Cast 3 Iyaz 4 3OH!3 feat.

January 26, 201016 yr You've got the Top 2 albums the wrong way round. Florence is number one. ;) Yes it is :unsure:
January 26, 201016 yr Yes it is :unsure: The first post has been edited now. It was showing Paolo Nutini at number one.
January 26, 201016 yr No wonder Broken Heels is dropping... who comes up with the lines like: "all the ladies tell their fellas we can do what they do we can do it even better in broken heels" WTF does it mean? :wacko: Edited January 26, 201016 yr by MTV79
January 26, 201016 yr No wonder Broken Heels is dropping... who comes up with the lines like: "all the ladies tell their fellas we can do what they do we can do it even better in broken heels" WTF does it mean? :wacko: That women can do things better than men, even in broken shoes... How can that even need explaining? :huh:
January 26, 201016 yr nice to see rihanna's album rising. would be cool to see her with 3 songs in the top 40 come sunday.
January 26, 201016 yr That women can do things better than men, even in broken shoes... How can that even need explaining? :huh: it is a very stupid song.
January 26, 201016 yr That women can do things better than men, even in broken shoes... How can that even need explaining? :huh: I like it, but it reminds me of this: f3s0joFeajk :kink:
January 26, 201016 yr Author Interesting chart, there are no new entries in the top 35 this week :o Jason Mraz is a re-entry :heehee: so the highest new entry goes to Timbaland with Katy Perry at #36. And the Haitian Charity single by Jay-Z, Bono, The Edge and Rihanna, misses the top 40 completely, my guess its just hanging outside the top 40 by a couple of places. On the whole its a boring week. Let's hope Owl City remains at #1, I hate to think the Glee Cast might end up #1 on Sunday, while Owl City lead the mids all week.
January 26, 201016 yr it is a very stupid song. Why is it stupid? It's about female empowerment, pretty much. I like it, but it reminds me of this: f3s0joFeajk :kink: :lol: I remember that song!
