Posted June 6, 201114 yr Indie labels set to dominate albums chart 10:54 | Tuesday June 7, 2011 Source: MW By Ben Cardew Singles Meanwhile, Example looks set to beat Coldplay to the number one slot on the singles chart: his Changed The Way You Kiss Me is outselling its nearest competitor, Pitbbull’s Give Me Everything (J) by more than two to one. Coldplay’s Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall (Parlophone), released digitally to tie in with the festival season, is currently sitting in third. Peter Thompson, managing director of PIAS UK, which distributes all of the indie releases in the midweek top 10, said the result was down to “the quality of artists” in question. “Seeing a top ten containing such diverse artists such as Frank Turner, Arctic Monkeys, Seasick Steve and, obviously, Adele is exciting to look at and just shows the strength and breadth of the independent sector,” he said. Albums Indie labels currently occupy five of the top 10 slots in the albums chart, according to OCC midweek sales flashes, with Arctic Monkeys leading the pack. And an indie release – Example’s Changed The Way You Kiss on Ministry of Sound – looks set to top the singles chart this Sunday, beating Coldplay in the process. Arctic Monkeys’ fourth album, Suck It And See (Domino), has sold more than 38,000 copies so far this week putting it far ahead of its nearest competitor, Adele’s 21, which is on indie label XL. Also currently in the top ten are albums from Frank Turner (England Keep My Bones), Seasick Steve (You Can’t Teach An Old Dog New Tricks) and Adele’s first album 19 – all of which are on indie labels. In total there are 13 indie albums currently in the midweek top 40, with releases from Caro Emerald, City & Colour, Suede, Battles, Above & Beyond, Status Quo, Prodigy and Fleet Foxes sitting between 10 and 40. It reflects what has been a very strong start to the year for the indies, with XL in particular boasting a massive market share on the back of Adele’s success. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Top 40 Only Singles 1 Example 2 Pitbull/Ne'Yo/Afrojack/Nayer 3 Coldplay 4 Nicole Scherzinger 5 Alexandra Stan Top 10 Tracy Chapman Nicola Roberts :o [Top 20 BEPs Top 30 21 Nicki Minaj Templecloud Top 40 Katy B Nicole Scherzinger [DHYB] Josh Groban ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Albums 1 Arctic Monkeys 2 Adele [21] 3 Lady Gaga 4 Jackie Evancho 5 Glee Cast Top 10 Frank Turner Wonderland Top 15 All Time Low Depeche Mode Iron Maiden Top 20 Foo Fighters Top 30 21 Nicole Scherzinger Rory Gallagher City & Colour Suede Battles Above & Beyond Top 40 Craig Ogden My Morning Jacket Alfie Boe NO SALES INFO ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ARTIST UPDATES Singles Jenny Lopez [iIY] 10+1,[OTF] 10+7 Jessie J [NP] 10+3, [PT] 20+10 Alex/Kelly 10+5 Rihanna [CKB] 10+8 Lady Gaga [Judas] 20+3, [TEOG] 20+8, [bTW] 30+3 Adele [sLY] 20+5, [RITD] 30+7 Saturdays 20+6 Katy Perry 30+9 Albums Jessie J 5+4 Take That 10+6 Caro Emerald 10+9 Rihanna 20+3 The Prodigy 30+5

Its just simple addition or substraction. Go Figure. [11] Tricked you.
June 7, 201114 yr Surely Example's gonna have it in the bag, yeah? Absolutely. The top of the album chart is more interesting this week (Adele vs. GaGa, I think Adele will be taking it). Although there should be a lot of movements in the singles top 10/20 throughout the week.
June 7, 201114 yr Absolutely. The top of the album chart is more interesting this week (Adele vs. GaGa, I think Adele will be taking it). Although there should be a lot of movements in the singles top 10/20 throughout the week. Not the Arctic Monkeys? Surely they can manage 50k :o
June 7, 201114 yr Not the Arctic Monkeys? Surely they can manage 50k :o Not to mention Jackie Evancho...
June 7, 201114 yr According Steveweiser/ Suedehead on Haven- Example #1, Coldplay #3 and Arctic monkeys at #1 on albums (38K) followed by Adele!!...... Edited June 7, 201114 yr by gezza76
June 7, 201114 yr Really hoping Nicki can get top 20! She deserves it so much with 'Super Bass' and I think it's still got plenty left in it to actually go higher! Has it been added to Radio 1's playlist yet?
June 7, 201114 yr They'll easily be number one then, should be looking at about 80-90k, maybe stretching towards 100k at a push. I'm not sure whether to buy it or not, I've not really got any interest in it but I do like their other albums, and it is only £3.99 on Amazon...

June 7, 201114 yr Not to mention Jackie Evancho... Why are you so certain that this girl's going to have a huge album? It'll likely be a one week wonder mid-low top ten at best... Anyway, 38k is a great opening for the Arctics considering it's supposedly not very good, I guess it'll clear about 70-75k as an absolute minimum and that's if it's ridiculously frontloaded, but that's not far down on their last album's opening week :o
