Oh, it's the double album at #6 and Frank isn't top 10 :o That's a shame for Frank, hopefully it can still repeak. Previously got to #13.

Back to Black standard would probably be #1 if not for limited availability, it was sold out everywhere yesterday. As soon as the shops get more copies in I reckon it can return to #1.

 

Impressive stats for all of her singles there :o No 5th week at #3 for Ed Sheeran then!

 

Pleased to see Caro's album holding up amongst the Amy onslaught too!

 

Who is Laura Wright?

04 Amy Winehouse 'Back to Black'

 

^ Anything in the T10 is pretty impressive, considering it only peaked at #25 upon release. This'll give Winehouse a third T10 hit (alongside 'Rehab' and 'Valerie') - of course she deserves even more.

 

Thrilled to see 'Love Is a Losing Game' looking to crack the T40 too - a #48 peak is disappointing for such a great song.

Well, I hope Amy album stocks increase over the week and she gets to #1.

 

There's only one Amy album ahead of Caro so I'm not exactly surprised she's still top 5, she'd need to be re-overtaken by Gaga or another old album to drop out :P

 

Laura Wright :wacko: How is she ahead of Little Dragon? (Who it seems I did jinx in the iTunes thread last night :( Hope they can stay top 20)

Actress apparently after searching on google, how bizarre, if she is the right Laura Wright

35 Amy Winehouse [Valerie]

38 Mark Ronson ft. Amy Winehouse [Valerie]

 

Poor The Zutons and Mark Ronson..

 

Why 'poor The Zutons'? Of course people are going to download the Amy versions :P

Apparently, because the original & 'Deluxe' versions of 'Back To Black' had to Chart separately, under

2007 & 2008 Chart Rules, The OCC have decided to keep their Sales seperate now, too. Even though

in late 2008 they changed the Rules & combined the Sales of original & 'Deluxe' Albums.

 

Which is why 'Rockferry', by Duffy, had both versions Sales combined from its 'Deluxe' Entry Date - W/E 6th December 2008 - No.13.

(And just as they combined the Sales of 'The Fame' & 'The Fame Monster', from 2009 onwards, for Lady GaGa).

 

The last Chart that both versions of 'Back To Black' Charted was that of W/E 29th November 2008. The original was at

No.73, & the 'Deluxe' version was at No.91. The 'Deluxe' version never reached the Top 100 again, after that - until now.

 

I think that BOTH versions should be treated under 2011 Chart Rules - and have their Sales combined. We are no longer

in 2008, so I don't see why it should have to have its Sales split, as if we are. Using 2008 Chart Rules could well see Amy

cheated out of a No.1 Album, & I don't think that is fair.

Anyway, according to Amazon Laura Wright is a classical singer and the album features 'brand new arrangements of British folk songs'. Lovely... but why is it in the top 10?

I know but it's just that after this it's obvious that nobody will ever get to know it's their song

Any hope of people knowing it's a Zutons song was crushed once the Ronson/Amy version became a hit. And clearly people have also forgotten Mark Ronson's involvement in the song and are downloading her (different) solo version... either that or they prefer her solo version :P But I think the former is more likely.

 

I still think The Zutons' version is the best, but it may as well have not been their song for a good 4 years now...

Don't fel too sorry for them they'll be raking it in this week!!

It's not as if Back to Black hasn't already been number. If that were the case, I'd be more anxious that it got the number 1 spot.

Amy winehouse really dominating in the albums, but no surprise.

 

Big drop for take that in the albums, but im sure they will be back in the top 20 by sunday.

Back To Black single at #4 is brilliant, really hope it sticks Top 5, and becomes her highest peaking single!

11 new tracks in the 40, one good thing the Amy tracks has cleared a lot of deadwood from the likes of Foster The People (oops), Nicole, Saturdays, LMFAO/Natalia, Mann, Vato, Adele [RITD], J.lo/Lil'Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Chase & Status and Jessie J.
MW report added, JLS on >40k.

 

Hmm, that's a bit less than I expected. But I suppose that doesn't include its physical sales anyway so it's probably closer 45k than 40k. The Wanted started out on 47.5k and finished on 117k, so based on that JLS will probably get around 105-110k ish? It won't beat their best first week sales but hopefully it can top Beat Again to become their highest first-week sales without XF.
