Posted March 21, 201114 yr Indie albums set to dominate UK chart Source: NW 11:04 | Tuesday March 22, 2011 By Ben Cardew Singles On the singles chart there is considerably less movement, although Adele’s Someone Like You looks set to return to number one after being unseated by Nicole Scherzinger’s Don’t Hold Your Breath (Interscope) last week. The highest new entry is likely to come from Peter Kay and Susan Boyle’s Comic Relief single, I Know Him So Well, which should debut around the top 10 after the duo sung a duet at last Friday’s Comic Relief. Albums The top end of the albums chart is set for an indie takeover this Sunday, with the top four releases at this stage all on independent labels, led by Adele’s 21 (XL). 21 looks set to top the UK’s albums chart for a ninth consecutive week this Sunday, which would equal The Beatles’ 21st century record of nine weeks at the stop, set by their 1 album in 2000 – 2001. It would also equal the record set by Madonna’s Immaculate Collection, which spent nine weeks at the top in 1990-91, the only album by a female solo artist ever to do so. 21 is released by XL, part of the UK’s XL Beggars Group. Behind 21 in the OCC’s midweek sales flashes are two other Beggars album: The Strokes’ Angles (Rough Trade) and Adele’s first album 19 (XL). And in fourth spot is another indie release – Jone Bonamassa’s Dust Bowl (Provogue). In a busy week for the albums chart, new releases from Duran Duran (an expanded version of All You Need Is Now, released on their own Tape Modern label); Interscope’s Nicole Scherzinger (Killer Love); Reprise’s Green Day (Awesome As F**k); RCA’s Chris Brown (F.A.M.E) and Ronan Keating & Burt Bacharach (When Ronan Met Burt, released by Polydor) should all debut in and around the top 10. New albums from Virgin’s Cage The Elephant (Thank You Happy Birthday) and Wall of Sound’s Human League (Credo) should also challenge for the top 20. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Top 40 Only Singles 1 Adele 2 Nicole Scherzinger 3 Wanted 4 Jessie J 5 Rihanna Top 10 Adele [RITD] Dr. Dre/Eminem/Skylar Grey 9 Snoop Dogg Black Eyed Peas Top 15 Noah & The Whale 13 Subo/Geraldine Top 20 Mann/50 Cent Top 30 Kanye West 25 JLS Jeremih 29 Take That [HN] 30 Clare Maguire Top 40 33 Adele [MYFML] 35 Katy Perry [Firework] 36 Vaccines [if You Wanna] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Albums 1 Adele 2 Strokes 3 Adele [19] 4 Joe Bonamassa 5 Jessie J Top 10 Duran Duran Nicole Green Day Chris Brown Ronan Keating Top 20 Cage The Elephant Human League 19 Take That Top 30 23 Duran Duran [Greatest] :cheer: Rumer Top 40 Drifters Michael Buble NO SALES INFO ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ARTIST UPDATES Singles Wiz 3+3 Lady Gaga 10+1 Chris Brown 7+7 Alexis 8+8 Parade 7+7+7 Chipmunk 12+5 Pink 20+2 Taio Cruz 20+8 Olly 30+2 Albums Elbow 5+6 Rihanna 6+6 Bruno 10+5 Tinie 20+4 Olly Murs 20+6 Beady Eye 30+1 Pink 30+2 Katy Perry 30+6 JLS 30+8 Avril 30+9 OUCHIE

March 21, 201114 yr Author PLEASE READ THESE RULES BEFORE POSTING [01] Any member that is caught spamming, or trying to cause an argument to get a reaction will be severely warned with a ban for 7 days from posting on the forum. [02] This is a mid thread for every artist do not go on and on and on about a certain artist to bring the board into disrepute. [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.
March 22, 201114 yr Author Don't expect any miracles for the unofficial CR track, probably around top 20ish, top 25 maybe. Morning all.
March 22, 201114 yr No way, I'll be gobsmacked if it's not top 5 in the first update at least. The DVD sales are being vastly underestimated I think...
March 22, 201114 yr Author No way, I'll be gobsmacked if it's not top 5 in the first update at least. The DVD sales are being vastly underestimated I think... When I was out yesterday they had shedloads of the track not shifting, not sure anywhere else though how well the track is selling.
March 22, 201114 yr When I was out yesterday they had shedloads of the track not shifting, not sure anywhere else though how well the track is selling. That doesn't mean anything really, it's possible that they've been sent so many copies of the single due to expected demand that staff have been restocking it so that it looks full when you walked past. I saw a good few people buying it in HMV yesterday, despite the ridiculous £4.99 price point.
March 22, 201114 yr Can't see Peter Kay getting number one with this one as easily as the last few - although there's nothing strong to stop it really. Adele has been out for ages and Nicole Scherzinger is a pretty talentless witch.
March 22, 201114 yr I hope Duran do well with their album. It's easily their best album for a long, long time.
March 22, 201114 yr I hope Duran do well with their album. It's easily their best album for a long, long time. Agreed, top 10 hopefully. Would love to see Adele back at #1 in the singles on Sunday :)
March 22, 201114 yr Really hope Adele stays at #1 on both charts, especially album chart. :heart: She's not going anywhere, and i'm glad, representing quality music and still hope in british music that quality sells! :wub: So both Chris Brown and Nicole arent top 4, I wonder if one of them are the #5?
March 22, 201114 yr Is anyone else getting sick to death of Adele? I find her so boring and she lingers like a bad smell. :cry:
