Posted August 8, 201115 yr Nero head close battle to top chart Tuesday August 9, 2011 By Paul Williams UK dubstep duo Nero are leading an extremely close race to top the singles chart this Sunday with the week's top seven sellers so far separated by just 3,000 sales. The MTA/Mercury act’s newly-issued fourth single Promises is ahead of Epic’s She Makes Me Wanna single by JLS featuring Dev by around 550 sales at this stage of the week, according to the Official Charts Company. Syco’s Cher Lloyd is a similar distance behind in third place with Swagger Jagger. Lloyd debuted at number one on the week-end chart last Sunday after selling 66,316 copies. Nero, JLS and Lloyd are joined in the battle to top this week’s chart by a handful of other records, including Positiva/Virgin act David Guetta’s single Little Bad Girl with Cruz and Ludacris whose sales are up 13.5% on the week and Christina Perri’s Atlantic single Jar Of Hearts whose sales are 255% higher than they were a seven days ago. They are respectively the week to date’s fourth and sixth biggest singles with Global Talent/Island act The Wanted’s declining Glad You Come between them in fifth spot and Asylum/Atlantic's Ed Sheeran seventh with The A Team. Apart from Nero, the only other newly-issued singles showing up at this stage among the Top 40 positions is Nusic Sounds’ Charlie Simpson with Parachutes and Virgin’s David Guetta featuring Sia with Titanium. It is also far too close to call on the artist albums chart at this time with around a gap of 1,600 sales between Island’s Amy Winehouse album Back To Black at the top and Def Jam/Mercury’s rush-released Jay-Z and Kanye West album Watch The Throne at two. Winehouse and XL’s Adele continue to have two of the five top sellers with the late Island artist’s debut Frank in fourth place and Adele’s 21 and 19 respectively in third and fifth positions. Orlanda heavy metal band Trivium are aiming to score their second UK Top 10 album with their Roadrunner-issued In Waves showing up as a new entry at six in the midweeks, while just outside the Top 10 positions at 11 is J/RCA’s Pitbull album Planet Pit whose sales have more than doubled on the week. A Rhino retrospective by Randy Crawford will also be among the new entries this coming Sunday, as will be albums by Decca’ Mary-Jess and another Epic-issued Glee Cast album.

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.

August 9, 201115 yr For a change, it's virtually impossible to predict who's going to be No 1 at the end of the week....
August 9, 201115 yr it does make it interesting, if u forget it will be the lowest selling weekly sales for a number 1 all year
August 9, 201115 yr Is there even anything of note out next week? I don't see why Olly Murs or Calvin Harris don't pull forward by a week to capitalise, both have already got enough momentum around them to shift at least 50k.
August 9, 201115 yr On air / on sale being dropped has kind of killed the chart. Oh DEAR UK Record Industry. :(
August 9, 201115 yr On air on sale HASN'T been dropped as far as I'm aware, just not all record companies have taken it up as a policy yet. Anyway the chart isn't dead, it's just sleeping. Roll on 4 September :w00t:
August 9, 201115 yr Is there even anything of note out next week? I don't see why Olly Murs or Calvin Harris don't pull forward by a week to capitalise, both have already got enough momentum around them to shift at least 50k. Wretch 32, who may get a default #1.
August 9, 201115 yr Album chart 2 Jay z & Kayne West - Watch The Throne 12,340 That's rather impressive, hopefully they can hold onto at least #4 by the end of the week - even if that's half of their total for the week (which seems unlikely), they should be comfortably ahead of "4" and "19". If it's a 3x increase, they could hold #2 over "21".
August 9, 201115 yr 'Heaven' is out next week, that should hopefully go top 5, and 'Moves Like Jagger' should enter somewhere, that seems to be on the schedule for next week and seems to be getting quite a bit of radio airplay according to the airplay chart (though not having a video yet won't help). Also 'This Time' by Pia Toscano, which might get a boost from coming 6th in the most recent BJSC :kink:
August 9, 201115 yr Though the Top 7 are separated by just 3 000 sales so expect the Top 10 to change a bit over the coming week. Hopefully a 1-8 drop for Cher Lloyd though! :D
