Posted January 10, 201115 yr Grenade ready to explode on chart 10:57 | Tuesday January 11, 2011 Source: MW By Paul Williams Singles Bruno Mars’ Grenade is on course to match its chart-topping achievements in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand in the UK this weekend by debuting at number one. The newly-issued Elektra/Atlantic single, whose pre-release interest has been so great two cover versions made the Top 200 last week, is currently outselling its nearest four challengers combined, according to the OCC. The challengers are led by BBC Sound of 2011 winner Jessie J whose Island/Lava single Do It Like A Dude is around 2,600 sales ahead of Def Jam/Mercury’s Rihanna featuring Drake single What’s My Name, which climbed to number one last Sunday. Ahead of the release of her second album, XL act Adele’s cover of Make You Feel My Love from her first album is gaining another new lease of life with its sales up 161.4% on the week and it is currently the week’s fourth biggest seller, having sat at 27 on last Sunday’s chart. Her first album 19, meanwhile, is number six on the midweek artist albums chart, moving up from 20. There are no other new arrivals as yet into the Top 10, although Epic act JLS should move from outside the Top 75 into the Top 20 with new single Eyes Wide Shut, while Rihanna’s S&M is challenging to make a return to the Top 40. Albums On the artist albums chart Sky 1’s Must Be The Music inaugural winner Emma’s Imagination will have the first big debut album of 2011 with Stand Still presently the week’s third top seller. The Polydor release is behind Def Jam/Mercury’s Loud by Rihanna and 679/Atlantic act Plan B’s The Defamation Of Strickland Banks, which were also one and two on last week’s chart. Rough Trade’s British Sea Power and Decca’s Israel Kamakawiwo’ole currently occupy positions 14 and 18 with new albums in what is otherwise a fairly quiet week for new album releases. Meanwhile, fellow Decca act Imelda May, who appeared on Graham Norton’s BBC1 chat show last Friday, is enjoying a 268.8% week-on-week rise in sales with her album Mayhem, which was 51 on last week’s chart and has moved up to 22 on the week so far. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Top 40 Only Singles 1 Bruno Mars 2 Jesse J (2,600 ahead of Rihanna) 3 Rihanna/Drake 4 Adele 5 Katy B Top 10 8 David Guetta/Rihanna Top 20 19 JLS [EWS] Martin Solveig/Dragonette Top 30 Cee-Lo Green [iOK] Usher Top 40 Prof Green/MS James Blake Gyptian Rihanna [s&M] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Albums 1 Rihanna 2 Plan B 3 Emma's Imagination :o 4 Ellie Goulding 5 Cee Lo Green Top 10 6 Adele Eliza Doolittle Top 15 British Sea Power Top 20 Israel Top 30 Imelda May 28 Cheryl Cole Top 40 Pro Green The Overtones The XX NO SALES INFO ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ARTIST UPDATES Singles Matt 3+3 BEPs 3+4 Rihanna [OG] 5+6 Katy Perry 10+3 Cheryl Cole 10+8 Pink 20+2 TT 20+4 McFly 20+6 Olly 20+7 Nicole 20+10 Michael J 30+2 JLS [LYM] 30+7 Albums TT 4+7 Katy Perry 5+6 Wanted 10+5 Lady GaGa 10+6 Alfie Boa 20+1 JLS [OTW] 20+3 Robbie 20+4 Olly Murs 20+5 BEPs 30+1 Pixie Lott 30+3

[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] Regarding chart postions when posted when you see a sum/substraction for example 22+4, 40-7, if you add/subtract both figures together it gives you the actual position for the track. Its just simple addition or substraction. Go Figure.
