Posted September 20, 201015 yr Manics or Collins could be Going Back to one 10:43 | Tuesday September 21, 2010 Source: MW By Paul Williams Singles Elektra/Atlantic’s Bruno Mars has opened up a commanding lead at the top of the midweek singles chart with his newly-issued Just The Way You Are (Amazing) with his biggest rival Sky1 show Must Be The Music’s first series winner Emma Gillespie. The Glasgow-born singer, who performs under the name Emma’s Imagination, is ranked second at this stage of the week with the song Focus, having won the show’s final last Sunday. Syco act Alexandra Burke, who spent a second week at number one last Sunday with Start Without You featuring Laza Morgan, is now down in sixth place at this point of the week. Taio Cruz’s 4th & Broadway/Island single Dynamite is ranked third, Virgin act Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream fourth and Phonogenic/RCA’s The Script’s fifth with For The First Time. Among the chart-bound new releases this week are Ministry of Sound’s Alex Guadino, Warner Bros act Charice, Columbia’s Mark Ronson & The Business Int and another Must Be The Music Act, Pictures. Albums Manic Street Preachers and Phil Collins with his Going Back set are both chasing their first UK number one album in 12 years with the Welsh band currently ahead by just a few thousand sales. The Manics’ newly-issued Columbia album Postcards From A Young Man has sold around 17,000 units at this stage of the week, according to the OCC, with Phil Collins’ Atlantic album Going Back providing its biggest challenge. The Collins album, which debuted at four a week ago, has seen its sales increase this week by 80% after his For One Night show, featuring songs from Going Back, was broadcast last Saturday evening on ITV1. Phonogenic's The Script are third. Coincidentally, the last time the Manics and Collins topped the UK albums chart was in consecutive weeks with the Sony act’s This is My Truth Tell Me Yours spending three weeks at the top during September and October 1998 to then be replaced by Hits, a Virgin retrospective of the Genesis frontman’s solo work. After 17 new entries in the Top 75 last week, this new chart week is looking almost as busy for new albums with the Manics expected to be joined in the Top 10 this coming Sunday by two other new entries. Mascot-signed Black Country Communion’s self-titled album is the fourth biggest seller at this stage of the week, while Maroon 5’s A&M/Octone-issued Hands All Over is ranked fifth. Other new entries to the chart are likely to include albums from Rhino/Warner Bros’s Seal, RCA’s Santana, a first new album from the classic OMD line-up in 24 years via their label 100 Percent, 4th & Broadway/Island’s Taio Cruz, Reprise/Warner Bros’s Serj Tankian, Heavenly’s Edywn Collins, Ear Music’s Kamelot and Roadrunner act Opeth. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Top 40 Only Singles 1 Bruno Mars 2 Emma's Imagination 3 Taio Cruz 4 Katy Perry 5 The Script Top 10 Shontelle Top 15 12 Alex Gaudino Emma's Imagination [TD] Charice/Iyaz Enrique/Nicole Top 20 16 Eliza Doolittle Mark Ronson & The Business Intl Top 30 The Saturdays [Higher] Missing Andy [TWWM(MIE)] Pictures [ET] Top 40 Pepper & Piano [OOTD] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Albums 1 Manic Street Preachers (17k) 2 Phil Collins 3 The Script 4 Black Country Communion 5 Maroon 5 Top 15 Seal Santana OMD Top 20 Taio Cruz Script Top 30 Usher Top 40 34 Enrique Pixie Lott NO SALES INFO ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ARTIST UPDATES Singles Alexandra 3+3 Eminem 4+3 Brandon 18+5 Saturdays [MY] 20+10 Enrique [iLI] 30+3 Katy Perry [CG] 30+5 McFly 30+6 :rofl: Albums Brandon 4+3 XX 4+4 Katy Perry 4+5 Lady GaGa 6+6 Eminem 7+7 Saturdays 20+3 Kings Of Leon 20+8 Kylie 20+9 Alexandra 30+5 Rihanna 30+6

September 21, 201015 yr How does 17,000 compare to other first day sales this year? What did Massive Attack start on? They were number 1 on day 1 but fell....
September 21, 201015 yr Alexandra Burke down to #6 I presume... I still can't believe that she managed to stay at #1 for the second week.
September 21, 201015 yr Alexandra Burke down to #6 I presume... I still can't believe that she managed to stay at #1 for the second week. Yep, its states that in the report "Syco act Alexandra Burke, who spent a second week at number one last Sunday with Start Without You featuring Laza Morgan, is now down in sixth place at this point of the week." {1}-1-6* That'll be another non-number 1 then. :lol:
September 21, 201015 yr Author Lol at McFly, the track bombed :rofl: btw... you can work out the tracks in the top 15 (Singles) its not rocket science, if Alex is #12
September 21, 201015 yr Albums 4 Black Country Communion WTF are *they* - and why are they charting so high, seeming without *any* promo?? Edited September 21, 201015 yr by vidcapper
September 21, 201015 yr Lol at McFly, the track bombed :rofl: btw... you can work the tracks in the top 15 its not rocket science, if Alex is #12 Not sure why anyone is laughing at Mcfly virtually everyone thought they would be No 1 and I am sure they had their highest first week sales.The song as a bit techno sounding.Alex has done very well to be No 1 for two weeks it is hardly a Non Number 1.
September 21, 201015 yr Author Example [Last One Standing & Kickstarts], Manic Street Preachers, Greg Street, XX, Script, Die Antwoord, Hurts, Magnetic Man and Iyaz have left the top 40 singles chart from last week.
September 21, 201015 yr Author WTF are *they* - and why are they charting so high, seeming without *any* promo?? Ever heard of Google :unsure: :P
September 21, 201015 yr Not sure why anyone is laughing at Mcfly virtually everyone thought they would be No 1 and I am sure they had their highest first week sales.The song as a bit techno sounding.Alex has done very well to be No 1 for two weeks it is hardly a Non Number 1. Yes but the 2nd week at number 1 was purely by default (i.e. nothing else out) and not strong sales - wasn't it the lowest sales for a number 1 for 5 months. I don't think it'll finish particularly high in the YTD - compared with say "Teenage Dream", which was it's runner-up. Therefore it's a non-number one. :P
September 21, 201015 yr Ever heard of Google :unsure: :P No - where are *they* charting? :w00t: OK, so Black Country Communion are heavy metal - I guess I shouldn't be that surprised, given it's the only genre that charts like this without *any* mainstream promo whatsoever... Nowadays, album sales are so much in the crapper, that almost anything can chart, at least for *one* week... Edited September 21, 201015 yr by vidcapper
