U MAD?

Could not be happier if I tried. Totally deserved.

PLEASE tell me Marina is getting a number 1 album. Love her music.

If it couldn't make #1 this week it was never going to, there's far less radio-friendly acts who could sell the 20k required (hello Bullet For My Valentine!).

With Where Have You Been shooting up thought keep an eye on Talk That Talk (deluxe edition) album at #45 right now.

 

Already a massive 22 places to #23 so far and 8 places officially to #26 in the chart update earlier.

21 back in the top 10, at #10 while dropping to #20 yesterday after the news of it being the 5th biggest selling album of all time in the UK being announced today.

Pre-orders in the top 200:

 

31. R.I.P. (feat. Tinie Tempah) - EP - Rita Ora

61. Feel the Love (feat. John Newman) [Remixes] - EP - Rudimental

95. Live My Life (feat. Justin Bieber) - EP - Far East Movement

99. Oliver Twist (Remixes) - EP - D'Banj

100. Standing At the Sky's Edge - Richard Hawley

103. Strangeland (Deluxe Version) - Keane

112. Show Me a Sign - EP - Modestep

118. Chasing the Sun - EP - The Wanted

143. All I Know (feat. Luke Bingham) - EP - Futurebound & Matrix

148. Signs & Signifiers (International Jewel Box Version) - JD McPherson

152. Rize of the Fenix - Tenacious D

158. Picking Up the Pieces - EP - Paloma Faith

183. Strangeland - Keane

195. 30 Days - EP - The Saturdays

200. The Power (feat. Dizzee Rascal) - EP - DJ Fresh

 

Rita should be a safe #1 for next week I think :D Rudimental EP is holding up really well, potential big hit? Good to see Far*East Movement finally breaking the top 100, it's been around for ages but not very high (it says it's released tomorrow, probably an error but if not strange release strategy). D'banj in the top 100 as well :D Keane aren't doing that well on pre-orders so far but they should still get their fifth #1 debut in a row easily. Modestep should return to the top 40 with 'Show Me A Sign'. Ooh at Matrix/Futurebound showing up in the top 200! DJ Fresh has taken a bit of a fall there, still a while until its release though.

Richard Hawley looks like a top contender for the #1 album next week, if album sales are poor, also Damon Albarn might have a top 10 album, both acts were on Jools Holland last night. I think Keane are appearing next week.

'21' #4 :heart:

 

Our Version of Events #7, :wub: possibly #1 by tomorrow night after The Voice (on iTunes)?

New EPs:

 

1. R.I.P. (feat. Tinie Tempah) - EP - Rita Ora

11. Show Me a Sign (Remixes) - EP - Modestep

13. Live My Life (feat. Justin Bieber) - EP - Far East Movement

23. Show Me a Sign - EP - Modestep

76. Yeah Yeah (Remixes) - EP - Willy Moon

80. Stupid Mistake - EP - Darren Hayes

 

Rita Ora predictably but good-ly straight to #1.

 

Not a new EP obviously but The Temper Trap's Sweet Disposition EP is back at #93 after The Voice :wub:

Explain to me why there are two Modestep EPs please.

Who knows?

 

The EP for 'All I Know' by Matrix and Futurebound feat. Luke Bingham seems to have vanished. Disappeared from the album feed as a pre-order but hasn't shown up in the top 100.

Adele still has the highest selling solo album on the iTunes album chart at the moment. :lol: Amazing!

 

Rita's EP still #1.

 

Emeli Sande - Our Version Of Events - #8 (hopefully back to #1 by the end of this evening) :P

Emile Sandé to #4! Her performance on The Voice has given her a nice boost :wub:

Emeli #2 :D

 

Also Marina & Diamonds isnt top 10 with either version of her album right now..#18 and #26 ouch.

The new releases for this week:

 

B.o.B - Strange Clouds

Cover Drive – Bajan Style

The Cribs - In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull

Damon Albarn – Dr Dee

The Heartbreaks – Funtimes

Here We Go Magic – A Different Ship

Keane – Strangeland

King Charles - Love Blood

Proclaimers – Like Comedy

Richard Hawley - Standing At The Sky's Edge

Ren Harvieu - Through the Night

 

Keane should probably go to #1, but i'm really not so sure they will...Richard Hawley, Damon Albarn, Cover Drive and The Cribs all have a chance of going Top 10, Ren Harvieu and B.o.B Top 30, and hopefully King Charles might be able to scrape a Top 40 place from low sales :D (wishful thinking maybe)

 

 

"The Adventures of Bobby Ray" débuted with over 8k sales, and while "Strange Clouds" isn't coming off the back of a #1 single I'd expected to be far more frontloaded and open with 10-15k - comfortable top 10, I'd imagine.

11. Strangeland (Deluxe Version) - Keane

15. Strangeland - Keane

22. Standing At the Sky's Edge - Richard Hawley

23. In the Belly of the Brazen Bull - The Cribs

44. Strangeland (Deluxe Version) - Keane

53. Bajan Style - Cover Drive

57. Strange Clouds - B.o.B

68. Bajan Style (Deluxe Version) - Cover Drive

79. Everything in Colour - Ben Cantelon

84. Like Comedy - The Proclaimers

130. LoveBlood - King Charles

140. A Kiss Before You Go (Deluxe Version) - Katzenjammer

142. Like Comedy - The Proclaimers

Good point there, not sure it'll be a "comfortable" top 10, with Keane, Richard Hawley, The Cribs and Cover Drive all looking like highly possible T10 entries, and sales boosts from any BGT performances this week, but it could sneak in there

Why are there two deluxe versions of Strangeland?

 

Very 'strange' releases this week with both B.o.B and Keane :P

Why are there two deluxe versions of Strangeland?

 

One of them has four bonus tracks. The other has those four tracks AND five acoustic performances
