April 16, 201015 yr Strange to see the box office almost unchanged, just a new entry at #8 which pushes last weeks #8 & #9 down a place each :o No surprise that Paul Weller topped the physicals, after he was top 20 on Tuesday without even being top 100 on iTunes (or something along those lines) And I hope Diana wins the Diana Vs Chipmunk battle next week. I like both songs, but I prefer "Once", and it's topping the pre-orders :cheer:

April 16, 201015 yr Author how much did Now sell last week? 86,725ish...but that was last week. Plan B are not so far behind this week.
April 16, 201015 yr The Top Physicals, this week: 01 NE PAUL WELLER 02 03 SFG 03 02 LADY GAGA/BEYONCE 04 01 INNA 05 NE KATE NASH Interestingly no mention of Professor Gree unless the physical got cancelled? Glad to see Paul Weller was no. 1 in some form or another this week. Sadly those physicals must be edging towards 5k which will only be enough to scrape inside the top 40 come Sunday. I notice when Paul Weller did make the top 20 in June 2008 it was a much lower sales week. I reckon 'NTLTC' will have sold more this week than what 'Have You Made Up Your Mind' sold when it got to #19 in June 2008. Edited April 16, 201015 yr by Hitstastic

April 16, 201015 yr Cheers Dave do you have Chipmunks position on pre-orders? Diana seems to be trouncing him and therefore should have an advantage over him next week
April 16, 201015 yr Author Thanks Dave Does Usher look like still being number one on Sunday? Is the sky blue, Tom? :lol:

Truly we can say the physical is dead.
April 16, 201015 yr 86,725ish...but that was last week. Plan B are not so far behind this week. so plan b could be selling around 50k then, or does the now albums fall faster than that?
April 16, 201015 yr Bananarama got more physicals sold than the Prof! Truly we can say the physical is dead. Bananarama had 3 formats vs Prof Green's 1
April 16, 201015 yr Bananarama got more physicals sold than the Prof! Truly we can say the physical is dead. Were Bananarama anywhere in the top 100 btw Dave? Shame this era has been such a flop for them, it's a great album.
April 17, 201015 yr Author so plan b could be selling around 50k then, or does the now albums fall faster than that? Now 75 & Plan B must be pretty close, because at HMV Plan B are ahead of Now 75...
April 17, 201015 yr Bananarama got more physicals sold than the Prof! Truly we can say the physical is dead. Do you know what the physical sales were for Paul Weller? I'm intrigued in seeing what his sales are for this week as in Paul Weller's case, he's probably sold more cd singles than he did downloads. Edited April 17, 201015 yr by Hitstastic
