January 5, 201115 yr So Rihanna just 1k ahead of Matt - he`s bound to sell at least 10k physicals by close of play Saturday I would have thought so he might just make a 4th week at 1
January 5, 201115 yr I think his physicals might just narrowly keep him at No 1 come the weekend - will be close though. They aren't going to increase, so I don't see how they *can* save him, as Ri's gap over hm on iTunes gets ever wider... I`m just happy he`s selling consistently. Consistantly?! His sales dropped 40% 2nd week, then 57% week 3... :rolleyes:

And by consistent I mean that he is still riding high on iTunes.
January 5, 201115 yr How do you know they aren`t going to increase when the biggest shopping days on the high street are Friday/Saturday ? But why on earth would they buy a physical copy *this* week, if they haven't already availed themselves of the opportunity over the last 3 weeks? Do I hear the sound of straws being clutched at? :lol: And by consistent I mean that he is still riding high on iTunes. He's #2, yes - but being rapidy hauled in by everyone... I'm not sure what the big deal of him being #1 for a 4th week is, anyway? Edited January 5, 201115 yr by vidcapper
January 5, 201115 yr Not that anyone on here will care but yay for Pro Green, hope he stays Top 40 in both singles and albums! Though he should be doing so much better.

Oh didn`t realise there was a "3 week cap" on buying CDs now :rolleyes:
January 5, 201115 yr But why on earth would they buy a physical copy *this* week, if they haven't already availed themselves of the opportunity over the last 3 weeks? What does that have to do with anything? Why are enough people downloading 'Love The Way You Lie' for it to be a non-mover in the mid weeks, when they could've done that ay any time over the past 7 months?!
January 5, 201115 yr Oh didn`t realise there was a "3 week cap" on buying CDs now :rolleyes: :P I guess Matt C should enjoy his 15 minutes of fame though - 1 more single & one album, then he'll be joining Steve Brookstein, Shayne Ward & Joe McElderry on the dole queue... :) Edited January 5, 201115 yr by vidcapper
January 5, 201115 yr I think Cardle might just hold on - as others have said, physical sales are still weighted more heavily towards the end of the week than downloads are, which will give him a disproportionate boost vs. Rihanna, and he seems to be holding up surprisingly well on iTunes (I'm pretty sure Joe was out of the top 10 on iTunes by this stage last year). If he does hold on, what was the last song that spent 4 weeks at #1? Did anything do it last year?
January 5, 201115 yr Author If he does hold on, what was the last song that spent 4 weeks at #1? Did anything do it last year? Lily Allen / The Fear 4 weeks (March 2009) was the last act to have 4 weeks at #1.
January 5, 201115 yr What does that have to do with anything? Why are enough people downloading 'Love The Way You Lie' for it to be a non-mover in the mid weeks, when they could've done that ay any time over the past 7 months?! You got me on that specific example. :)

I want something to be no.1 for 4 weeks soon but not by an X Factor winner. Edited January 5, 201115 yr by *xmasG*
January 5, 201115 yr Great to see Alfie Boe climbing into the top 15. What a voice. Agreed! :yahoo: Anyone know exactly which position he is holding? Up from No 24 in his release week is really good for his genre.
January 5, 201115 yr Agreed! :yahoo: Anyone know exactly which position he is holding? Up from No 24 in his release week is really good for his genre. Very good for the classical genre (although quite why he isn`t also in the classical charts is a mystery - maybe not enough "classical" element to qualify)
January 5, 201115 yr Very good for the classical genre (although quite why he isn`t also in the classical charts is a mystery - maybe not enough "classical" element to qualify) No it needs to have 60% classical content to qualify and bar one song which isn't classical either, it's a Musical Theatre album. Like you say though, great for his genre.
January 5, 201115 yr Author Anyone know exactly which position he is holding? Up from No 24 in his release week is really good for his genre. Alfie Boa is holding 14 apples. ;)
January 5, 201115 yr Olly's falling pretty quick in the album chart now :( Bring on the third single! Fantastic climb for Eliza Doolittle though.
