Posted May 2, 201114 yr Adele and Fleet Foxes battle for UK number one slot Source: MW 11:15 | Tuesday May 3, 2011 By Ben Cardew Singles On the singles chart, LMFAO’s Party Rock Anthem looks set to spend a third week at number one this Sunday, with Bruno Mars’ The Lazy Song still its closes competitor. Blue’s Eurovision song I Can is set to be the highest new entry and should debut within a top 10 that is otherwise largely unchanged Albums Fleet Foxes and Adele look set for a close-fought battle at the top of the albums chart this week, with the Seattle band’s second album Helplessness Blues going up against Adele’s 21. At this early stage, only 200 sales separate the two albums, according to sales flashes from the Official Charts Company. If 21 does top the charts it will be its 14th week at the top, while this would be Fleet Foxes first number one album in the UK. The band’s eponymous debut peaked at three and has sold almost half a million copies to date in Britain. Also sitting within the top 20 at this early stage are new releases from Jennifer Lopez (Love on Mercury Records), Beastie Boys (Hot Sauce Committee Part Two on Parlophone) and Twenty Twenty (Small Talk on Geffen). Free, the second album from Glasgow’s Twin Atlantic released by Red Bull Records via EMI, is also challenging for a top 20 placing. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Top 40 Only Singles 1 LMFAO/Lauren Bennett/GoonRock 2 Bruno Mars 3 Jennifer Lopez/Pitbull 4 Chris Brown/Benny Benassi 5 Snoop Dogg/David Guetta Top 10 6 Blue 8 Tracy Chapman 10 Adele [sLY] Top 15 Aloe Blac 13 Jessie J [NP] Top 20 16 Pitbull 18 Birdy Top 30 Chase & Status ft.

May 2, 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.
May 3, 201114 yr I expect Blue to be #11-#13 on the first update, taking into account front-loadedness, two versions of the download in or close to the top 100 and the physical, although I doubt that will have shifted much on Bank Holiday Monday. Hopefully they can remain top 20 throughout the week, it will plummet next week and then re-climb the week after that.
May 3, 201114 yr i hope blue do ok in the update today. it'll probably chart well across europe though in places such as italy and germany where they were pretty big back in the day
May 3, 201114 yr Author hmmm... nothing has been updated on the site for today, I sense they are going to be late with the updates
May 3, 201114 yr Not gonna raise my hopes for J-Lo :( I was in HMV and they had hardly any copies of Love?
May 3, 201114 yr Blue at #6 :o :cheer: Will surely be no lower than about #13 on Sunday :wub: Though i do wonder if there is missing data today, where the hell did Beady Eye come from? :mellow:
May 3, 201114 yr Beady Eye :huh:? They are nowhere to be seen on itunes, must be a mistake. I don't understand how Blue can be so high, I think they just scraped the top 15 on itunes.. do they have their physicals out this week and are they massive physicals sellers? That could be the only explanation.
