Posted May 10, 201015 yr Keane and The National battle for albums chart supremacy 11:03 | Tuesday May 11, 2010 Source: MW By Paul Williams Singles By contrast, the singles market is looking a lot more stable. Relentless/Virgin’s Roll Deep with Good Times and the RCA-issued OMG by Usher featuring will.i.am, which filled last Sunday’s top two places, continue in the main positions, although Aggro Santos featuring Kimberly Wyatt with Candy and Warner Bros’s Jason Derulo with Ridin’ Solo are closing in on them. Santos’ Future Records/Mercury single was a new entry at five last weekend but is now placed third at this stage of the week with a 68% week-on-week sales increase, while Derulo’s sales are up 135% on the week to place it fourth. Two other singles are enjoying big enough sales increases that could move them up into the Top 10. Fyfe Dangerfield’s cover of Billy Joel’s She’s Always A Woman, currently soundtracking a John Lewis TV campaign, has the Geffen signing ranked in sixth place so far this week having been at number 14 on last Sunday’s chart. Meanwhile, Alexandra Burke’s Syco single All Night Long has nearly doubled its sales on the week to currently place it ninth. There are no new releases at this point figuring in the Top 10 positions, but lower down the Top 40 entries are lining up from UMTV’s Vika Jigulina, RCA’s Christina Aguilera, Epic’s Glee Cast with their version of the Bonnie Tyler hit Total Eclipse Of The Heart and Hard2Beat’s Fugative. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Albums Night Train could give Keane four number ones out of four album releases, after taking an early sales lead in this week’s artist albums market. However, the band’s Island-issued eight-track EP faces stiff competition from 4AD’s The National, who are little more than 3,000 sales behind with their newly-issued fifth album High Violet, according to OCC data. It will easily become the highest-charting album yet for the Brooklyn band, who have not previously broken into the Top 40. Keane and The National albums could be joined in this Sunday’s Top 10 by three other newly-issued albums, with Foals’ Warner Bros album Total Life Forever currently the week’s fourth best seller and Interscope/Polydor’s Lady GaGa placed fifth just a few hundred sales behind with The Remix. Slash’s self-titled Road Runner set is placed seventh. The high number of new entries will likely result in a big fall for Diana Vickers’ RCA debut Songs From The Tainted Cherry Tree which followed its introductory single Once by last Sunday entering at number one. In a busy week for new releases, the chart lower down will welcome new entries from Warner Bros’s Dead Weather, Surrender All’s Unkle, J/RCA’s Alicia Keys with a first retrospective, Atlantic’s Toni Braxton and Ash on the Atomic Heart label. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Top 40 Update Singles 1 Roll Deep 2 Usher/Will.I.Am 3 Aggro Santos/Kimberley Wyatt 4 Jason Derulo 5 Plan B Top 10 Fye Dangerfield 9 Alexandra Burke/Pitbull Top 15 12 Edward Maya/Vika Jigulina 15 Christina Aguilera Top 20 19 Rihanna [TA] Train Top 30 Alicia Keys [TSWABH] 22 Glee Cast [TEOTH] Fugative 28 Adam Lambert Top 40 Alicia Keys [ESOM] Ash +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Albums 1 Keane 2 National (3k behind) 3 Plan B 4 Foals 5 Lady GaGa [Remix] Top 10 Slash Top 15 Mumford & Sons Top 20 Dead Weather Top 30 Unkle Alicia Keys [TPC] 27 Toni Braxton Top 40 Michael Buble NO SALES INFO +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ARTISTS UPDATE Singles Pendulum 4+3 Kelis 10+3 Diana Vickers 7+7 Lady GaGa 10+8 Lady Antebellum 20+6 Rihanna [RB] 10+10+10 Cheryl Cole Non Mover Marina & The Diamonds 20+20 Albums Diana Vickers 3+3 Lady GaGa [Fame] 3+3+3 Florence 50+5 Usher 5+6 Mumford & Sons 6+6 BEPs 10+3 Rihanna 10+8 Alicia Keys [EOF] 10+9 Chery Cole 11+11 Madonna 17+17

May 11, 201015 yr There's an error in your report Mikey. It should be... not to forget the latest offerings from the Glee Cast. :cheer: :kink: Dreading to see where Diana is :(
May 11, 201015 yr Author Can I just stress this out when firing for a request for other artists, please be patient, as the update takes priority before anything else and it takes time to re-edit and some mistakes do creep in.
May 11, 201015 yr Hope to see Adam Lambert top 30 in singles (and albums) *Fingers crossed* Me too :) The single should *hopefully* be in the top 30 :)
May 11, 201015 yr Diana fell out of the top 5 afterall. I saw her last night and she was totally amazing, and lovely. :( She deserves all her success. I'm sure the great second single will pick it up and keep it selling steadily. I don't see Keane holding on, or having an impressive overall total either for that matter. Irrelevant band now much?
May 11, 201015 yr Brilliant for XTina. I think she will be in the top 10 by Sunday. I predict her being at 7 or 8 if her steady rise on Itunes continues. Edited May 11, 201015 yr by Madonna FAN
May 11, 201015 yr I hope Keane can hold on, Toni Braxton doing really well also.Great for Alex, Adam,Christina and Fugative hope they can all climb during the week.
