Posted October 18, 201015 yr Kings of Leon off to flying start 11:16 | Tuesday October 19, 2010 Source: MW Singles As for singles, Bruno Mars’ Just The Way You Are (Amazing) [Elektra] looks set to return to the top of the chart this Sunday, selling another 50,000 copies in the last two days. Its strong sales looks set to deny The Wanted a second number one single: their Heart Vacancy (Geffen) is off to a strong start but is far behind Mars. New singles from N-Dubz, Kate Perry, Nicki Minaj and Diana Vickers should all debut within the top 20. Albums Kings of Leon look certain to top the albums charts this Sunday, after securing massive first-day sales of their new set Come Around Sundown (Columbia). The band, whose last album Only By the Night has sold 2.5m copies in the UK to date, shifted in excess of 75,000 copies of Come Around Sundown on its first day of release, according to midweek sales flashes from the Official Charts Company. These strong sales means it looks likely to secure one of – if not the – biggest sales week this year, a record currently held by Eminem’s Recovery (Polydor), which sold 139,438 in one week earlier this summer. Behind Eminem, Robbie Williams’ new greatest hits set In And Out Of Consciousness (Virgin) sold 121,688 units last week, the second highest weekly total this year, and continues to sell well, currently sitting in second position. However, Asda and Chris de Burgh’s retail exclusive album is off to a slow start. Moonfleet and Other Stories, released by the singer’s own Ferryman Productions and sold exclusively through the supermarket chain, sold under 800 copies on its first day of release yesterday, putting it outside the top 50. The Beatles’ remastered best of sets 1967-1970 and 1962-1966 (EMI) should both also debut within the top 10. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Top 40 Only Singles 1 Bruno Mars [50k] 2 The Wanted [~20k behind] 3 Duck Sauce 4 Cee Lo Green 5 Mike Posner Top 10 6 N-Dubz 9 Katy Perry [Firework] Jay Sean ft.

October 19, 201015 yr @DanWootton The Wanted look very likely to miss out on their second No1 single on Sunday. Heart Vacancy being beaten by Bruno Mars by 20,000 copies. The power of The X Factor on the singles chart strikes again. Duck Sauce at No 3, Katy Perry at No 9 and Diana Vickers at No 12.

October 19, 201015 yr MW Report added, KOL 75k, mahoosive :o :o And Bruno, 50k, also massive, he'll definitely shift more than 100k this week, don't think he'll beat Katy Perry's total for CG though.
October 19, 201015 yr Are the Sats no16? How on earth are sats 16 quite shocked but wooi. Hope pixie climbs Whoops, typo, should be 30+6. Fixed now. Apologies for the confusion. :blush:

Bruno will probably sell around 100k this week putting him on 400k total. I think he'll be end of year top 5, maybe as high as number 2 behind Eminem.
October 19, 201015 yr WHOA @ Bruno Mars. To be expected, I guess. Would love for Matt to do a full studio version of the song... Just goes to show what one good performance can do!
