Tempah gets Frisky in chart-topping bid

Tinie Tempah has pulled off an early lead in his bid for a second UK number one single, but will face increased competition later this week with the release of Dizzee Rascal and James Corden’s World Cup single.

 

Tempah, who topped the chart in March with his introductory Parlophone single Pass Out, is currently outselling the singles in second and third places combined with his newly-issued follow-up Frisky to claim the top-selling single of the week so far. However, Frisky has yet to come up against Dizzee and Corden’s Syco single Shout, which is not released until Wednesday but is likely to provide tough competition after being performed on last Saturday’s Britain’s Got Talent final. Their single is in aid of Great Ormond Street.

 

Behind Tempah at this stage in second place is David Guetta featuring Chris Willis’s Positiva/Virgin single Gettin’ Over You, which climbed 40 places to number one last Sunday, while third spot is occupied by OMG by Usher featuring will.i.am. The RCA single, which topped the chart in May, had dropped out of the Top 10 but its sales have now lifted 77.2% on the week as a result of it being performed on the Britain’s Got Talent final. Sales of Usher’s album Raymond Vs Raymond, meanwhile, are 57.3% up on the week and it should return to the Top 20 this weekend.

 

Hollywood/Polydor’s Miley Cyrus is also benefiting from a Britain’s Got Talent performance with sales of her single Can’t Be Tamed, which was in 13th place on last Sunday’s chart, up 235.9% on the week.

 

Rascal and Corden’s single is likely to be joined in the Top 40 on Sunday by a handful of other World Cup-related singles, including K’naan’s A&M/Polydor single Wavin’ Flag, whose sales are up more than 50% on the week as it looks to reach the Top 10 for the first time. David Baddiel, Frank Skinner and the Lightning Seeds’ Euro ’96 Epic-released single 3 Lions looks set to return to the 40 where it could be joined by the Trevor Horn-produced Parlophone single Three Lions 2010 by Squad and New Order’s 1990 chart-topper World In Motion, originally released on Factory but now appearing via Warner Bros.

 

Albums

 

On albums RCA’s Christina Aguilera is in the lead with the newly-released Bionic as she looks to achieve her second UK albums chart-topper and is joined among the top-five sellers at this stage of the week by Brushfire/Island’s Jack Johnson, Epic’s Glee Cast, Reprise/Warner Bros-signed Michael Buble and RCA-handled Alicia Keys.

 

Brooklyn band The Drums are in seventh place at this point of the week with their self-titled first album, released on Monday by Moshi Moshi and Island, while other new albums lined up to enter the chart will include Island’s Steve Winwood retrospective Revolutions – The Very Best Of and the Warner Bros-issued Iyaz album Replay.

PLEASE READ REVISED RULES

 

[01] Any member that is caught spamming, or trying to cause an argument to get a reaction will be severely warned with a ban for 7 days from posting on the forum.

 

[02] This is a mid thread for every artist do not go on and on and on about a certain artist to bring the board into disrepute.

 

[03] Please be patient when you are asking for a request, as you might not get an answer straight away.

 

[04] Any member asking for information that isn't in the updates we don't have, always read the topic before you post, I do not want to see questions like Where is Britney? repeated several times on every page of the thread, once is enough, bookmark the page if you don't have time to read all of the topic. Its not that hard.

 

[05] Do not use BLOCK CAPITALS when posting a sentence its considered as shouting and rude.

 

[06] Do not use Text Talk.

 

[07] Do not use a light colour font when posting please its hard to read the topic, not everyone has 100% vision.

 

[08] Please give a mention to who posted the chart info or the site name where you seen the mid info if you are copying and posting the chart info elsewhere, it takes forever trying to re-edit all the information up for you to see.

 

[09] Please do not post lists, or sales info unless you are told to by myself or a chart mod, if you do have sales info that you wish to share round them off to the nearest thousand and name your source, do not post precise sales figures.

 

[10] Always remove your helmet when entering the public loos.

As for the album chart, its a dead week will Jack Johnson stay at #1 for a second week, or will Michael Buble be able to notch up a place, the album chart looks very difficult to predict, Christina Aguilera is looking for a top 10 entry but I see her missing the top 10 completely

 

Seriously??

 

IMO she should be #1 easily - she'll only need less than 30k for a start!

 

 

Christina should easily be number one - She will sell at least 35k i think.

Wino's dad? Please God help us all :puke: Talk about cashing in on your own child's misfortunes. I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole but the public will probably lap it up.

For some reason I don't expect much of Iyaz's album judging by the performance of B.o.B for example. I would#ve put Christina down for an easy #1 considering how low sales are but after the horrific lead single - it may put off casual buyers. I doubt she'll miss the top 10 though. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not Christina, that the Buble reclaims #1.

If XTina isn't number 1 I'll be surprised. My HMV actually had to replace the shelves twice yesterday I kid you not. Plus she was riding high on the pre orders chart and spent most of yesterday as itunes number 1 album.

She only needs 30,000. For album sales that is so low, if she doesnt get more then that that is a huge worry for her & her label. If she just gets top 10 at a time of such low sales i will be so shocked.

Come on christina, maybe she needs to go back to basics ;) such a great voice.

I think Back to Basics was crap! Thing is this new album probably contains her best ballads. She needs to showcase them more. I Am is stunning.

Where's XTina M!key? is it a good position or terrible?

Xtina might well get the no.1 album this week, but I can't see it hanging around too long, especially with the way so many eagerly-anticipated albums have fared this year
