June 8, 201114 yr Greg James just revealed that 'I Giorni' by Ludovico Einaudi is at #42 as of Wednesday - pretty impressive considering it's only really picked up in the past two days or so. Nice to have some classical music in the top 40 though.
June 8, 201114 yr I'd be very surprised if Monster doesn't go top 10 unless it plummets on iTunes during the week. It was a Monday release after all, not a Wednesday one. #23 at this stage is pretty good. Shame to see Coldplay down to #4 but it was expected, they'll probably be #5 tomorrow. Hopefully they can hold onto #5. Will probably still sell more than VLV did when it was #1 (but that sale was not as bad as it seems due to the cirucumstances around its release, it was a lucky #1) The Prodigy are down 4 places today compared to yesterday :drama: Hope they can hold onto that top 40. As if Jackie overtook GaGa :o I doubt she'll overtake Adele though, but you never know I guess. I'd laugh if it somehow did go to #1 and vidcapper was right all along. :lol: Is 19 still 7+1 or has it climbed today? Also hope to see Ludovico top 40 on Sunday, I haven't heard it but it'd be a nice victory for the classical genre. Anyone know what the last classical top 40 hit was? Edited June 8, 201114 yr by Bray
June 8, 201114 yr 3+3 Ah, should be back in the top 5 by Sunday easily then. Possibly even tomorrow unless Glee have a big lead.
June 8, 201114 yr Great to see Nicole top 3 :dance: And 'I Giorni' just outside the T40, c'mon keep climbing. It's at 29 on iTunes so it could make it. Also nice to see Example at number one and Rihanna falling down fast (never thought I'd say that but her new song isn't good)
June 8, 201114 yr Also hope to see Ludovico top 40 on Sunday, I haven't heard it but it'd be a nice victory for the classical genre. Anyone know what the last classical top 40 hit was? Would assume it was the re-entry of Nessum Dorma on 15/9/07, after Pavarotti died.
June 8, 201114 yr Would assume it was the re-entry of Nessum Dorma on 15/9/07, after Pavarotti died. Ah, that seems likely. But as that had gone top 40 before in 1990 it probably wasn't the last *new* classical T40 hit, but it was almost certainly the last time a classical song was T40. Edited June 8, 201114 yr by Bray
June 8, 201114 yr Author From the OCC update on Facebook: "Example is leading the way with double the sales of nearest rival Pitbull (#2)."
June 8, 201114 yr Ludovico is top 20 on iTunes now, so he's bound to get top 40 officially in the end! :o

June 9, 201114 yr Paramore only climbing four places, that should be enough but I fear they'll fall short. Why are Foo Fighters climbing again, poor sales? Seems odd given the number of new entries, I'm glad "Wasting Light" is maintaining some sort of stability though. Actually, it's probably because of "Walk" :D
June 9, 201114 yr Ouch at Nicola, sales must have been ridiculously close between the 10-22 region over the past couple of days :o Amazed to see Wonderland still on course for the top ten!
June 9, 201114 yr Thursday Update Top 40 Only Albums 3 Lady Gaga 4 Jackie Evancho Why did she drop back below Lady Gaga? :cry:
June 9, 201114 yr I think Wonderland will end up top 15 by Sunday, although i'm very happy it's lasted top ten so far. :D
June 9, 201114 yr Why did she drop back below Lady Gaga? :cry: Because she sold less copies yesterday :D

Ludovico Einaudi is now within the top 40 - meaning he occupies #35, #36, #38 or #39; I'm going to guess #36!
June 9, 201114 yr Ah, that seems likely. But as that had gone top 40 before in 1990 it probably wasn't the last *new* classical T40 hit, but it was almost certainly the last time a classical song was T40. Actually, the last classic hit to go top 40 was on 06/06/2009, when 'Paladio' by Escala reached number 39 in the chart. It's good to see some more classical music in the chart though.

Ludo is at 30+8 btw.
