February 17, 201115 yr No idea if it's BS or not but a poster on Adele's YT SLY live video claims Adele's album sales so far this week are 90k. I predict huge physicals on Saturday from the supermarket shoppers. she as sold 90K copiesof her album in 4 days this week and 60k ahead of the next artist. hopevalleyjohn Edited February 17, 201115 yr by bellboys
February 17, 201115 yr Someone like you #3 already? :mellow: Wow. She's a huge #1 contender indeed then. The only factor which could stop her is that her sales are going to be trailed off by the weekend. I also wonder what effect GaGa's Grammy performance aired today will have on her sales. If she gets enough she will probably still manage to keep ahead of Jessie J. We have more and more interesting chart battles from week to week!
February 17, 201115 yr Gettin' Over You was #4 in the Thursday mid-weeks, and that managed #1 in the end (and on iTunes its pop bar was about 1.5x Nothin' On You's pop bar, at the end of the week), so I think Adele has a good chance now!! :D
February 17, 201115 yr Author We Bring the Stars Out (feat. Labrinth & Eric Turner): Live from the BRITs should be in the update, hmmm.... Kidz from Take That is top 40, and We Bring The Stars is #16 on the iTunes chart. Unless its sales have been combined, surely its a different version.
February 17, 201115 yr We Bring the Stars Out (feat. Labrinth & Eric Turner): Live from the BRITs should be in the update, hmmm.... Kidz from Take That is top 40, and We Bring The Stars is #16 on the iTunes chart. Kidz has two versions doing relatively well on iTunes though, so those two combined might be selling more than We Bring the Stars Out. But also, I think We Bring the Stars Out is being combined to Pass Out, for some reason. However, if it was combined to Pass Out, I'd expect Pass Out to be top 30 by now.

I was just thinking that Pass Out or Written In The Stars would have been higher than top 40, if the sales were combined, so it must be a separate entity, plus I didn't know there is 2 versions of Kidz, which probably just answered my question.
February 17, 201115 yr Woop woop for Queen Adele ! It's all about how big the gap is, but hopefully she can make it :) She could be #1 and #5 in both charts :o Btw, does anyone have a link to the Brits performances mp3s ? It can't be bought off itunes from outside the UK :( Edited February 17, 201115 yr by Hayzayy
February 17, 201115 yr Gaga: 57,285 It's looking increasingly likely that she won't make Number 1 in the UK after all! Jessie J continues to eat into Gaga's lead. This could be an incredibly close race based on current trends... Source: irishguy28

Also, they're in a similar situation with She Said and She Sad Prayin'. I would've expected that to be top 40 now, if they were combined too. Perhaps because of all the complaints they received on Twitter, they're considering leaving them uncombined.
February 17, 201115 yr REALLY hope Adele is #1 come Sunday, but I have a feeling she will just be a little short and end up at #2
February 17, 201115 yr Really really hope both Gaga and Britney totally miss getting No 1 with their comeback singles in the UK.It would really make my year if British acts dominated the No 1 positions this year.I am sure Adele can do it, not sure why she has never had a No 1 single in the UK but fingers crossed.
February 17, 201115 yr I hope with all these seemingly 'missing brit performance tracks' that they are being counted otherwise SLY wont get to number 1. Maybe all the sales of the brit performances aren't included in this update as yet (for some reason)? Edited February 17, 201115 yr by ElectroBoy
February 17, 201115 yr OfficialCharts For those asking, all Brits performances downloaded will count as their original songs, will just be a different version of it.
February 17, 201115 yr free falling JLS. . . Except that this week they'll be reaching a new peak, like a month into their chart run. :lol: Yes, I know, it's difficult to accept that JLS are climbing up the chart... Edited February 17, 201115 yr by Eric_Blob
February 17, 201115 yr Author OfficialCharts For those asking, all Brits performances downloaded will count as their original songs, will just be a different version of it. So... how can you split Pass Out sales from WITS, when they are mashed up together, same goes for Plan B :huh:
February 17, 201115 yr Author Adele's Brits performance goes to number one on iTunes chart Source: MW 10:46 | Thursday February 17, 2011 By Ben Cardew Adele’s version of Someone Like You live from the Brits has climbed to number one on the iTunes UK charts, with the original recording at four. This year was the first time that all of the live performances from the Brits were made available to download from iTunes immediately after the event, following the release of Dizzee Rascal and Florence + The Machine’s You Got The Dirtee Love last year. That song got to number two but it looks like Adele could provide an even bigger hit: as well as topping the iTunes chart, Someone Like You has risen to three in midweek sales flashes, from 43 last week. In addition, her album 21 looks certain to top the albums chart for the fourth straight week: it has sold more than 90,000 :o copies so far this week, more than 60,000 ahead of its nearest competitor, Bruno Mars’ Doo-Wops & Hooligans. Lower down the iTunes top 100, there are four more songs live from the Brits: Take That’s Kidz (currently at 28); Plan B’s She Said Prayin’ (37), Mumford & Sons Timshel (43) and Cee Lo Green and Paloma Faith’s Forget You at 45. It is not currently clear if sales of Brits downloads are eligible for the Official Charts Company chart. On the albums chart, Mumford & Sons, Tinie Tempah, Plan B and Arcade Fire – who all performed and won awards at the Brits – appear to be the greatest beneficiaries in sales terms outside of Adele. Mumford’s Sigh No More - winner of best British album - looks set to climb back into the top five from 15; Tinie’s Disc-Overy should go back into the top 10 from 25, as should Plan B’s The Defamation of Strickland Banks from 24. As well as playing live at the Brits, Arcade Fire won two awards and this has helped their latest album The Suburbs back up the charts: it should go back into the top 20 from 52 last week. Laura Marling was the surprise winner of British female solo artist at the Brits. She didn’t play live on the night but her triumph has sent her most recent album I Speak Because I Can back up the charts from outside the top 75.
February 17, 201115 yr So... how can you split Pass Out sales from WITS, when they are mashed up together, same goes for Plan B :huh: Q: iTSANcho @OfficialCharts how will you count @TinieTempah performance?! Тhere is no original song called: We Bring The Stars Out?! A: OfficialCharts @iTSANcho His single Pass Out
February 17, 201115 yr ^iTSAN, if they're combined, could you explain to us why Pass Out isn't top 30?
