Posted August 15, 201115 yr Wretch 32 opens up narrow chart lead Source: MW 10:45 | Tuesday August 16, 2011 By Paul Williams Singles Ministry of Sound could be in line for its third UK number one single this year with Wretch 32’s Don’t Go taking an early lead over fellow brand new releases from Emeli Sande and Maroon 5. The MoS single, which features Josh Kumra, is around 3,600 sales ahead of Virgin act Emeli Sande’s Heaven at this point in the week, while A&M/Polydor’s Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera completes a top three of new entries in third spot, according to the Official Charts Company. Ministry previously topped the chart in 2011with Example’s Changed The Way You Kiss Me and DJ Fresh’s Louder featuring Sian Evans, while Wretch 31’s last single Unorthodox (featuring Example) reached number two. The onslaught of new releases pushes MTA/Mercury’s Nero, whose Promises debuted at number one last Sunday, down to fourth place, although their newly-issued album Welcome Realty is the third top-selling artist album in the week so far and is little more than 1,000 copies off of the number one spot. The onslaught of new releases pushes MTA/Mercury’s Nero, whose Promises debuted at number one last Sunday, down to fourth place, although their newly-issued album Welcome Realty is the top-selling artist album in the week so far, around 4,600 sales ahead of Adele's XL album 21 in second place. A busy week for new singles is completed by A&M/Polydor’s Modestep showing up as a new entry at six in the midweeks with Sunlight, while Atlantic act Christina Perri is at five with Jar Of Hearts, the same position it held on last Sunday’s chart. Albums Adele’s XL album 21 could spend a 19th week at number one this Sunday after opening up a slight early lead at the top with Roc-A-Fella/Mercury’s Jay-Z & Kanye West placed second with Watch The Throne. Nusic Sounds’ Charlie Simpson joins Nero as a new entry in the top five with Young Pilgrim the fifth top seller so far this week with Island’s Amy Winehouse album Back To Black completing the top five sellers in fourth place. This could all push Adele’s 19 out of the top five with it currently ranked sixth. Mercury act Chase & Status’s No More Idols is the only album among the week so far’s Top 10 positions to experience a sales increase with its 7.7% week-on-week rise helping it lift 12-9 to put it just ahead of Roadrunner act Kids In Glass Houses’ newly-issued In Gold Blood in 10th position. A newly-released Sony retrospective from the late John Denver is the 16th top seller at this stage of the week, while other new albums set to debut this Sunday include sets from Universal Island’s Jedward and Specific Jazz’s Jacqui Dankworth. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Top 40 Only Singles 1 Wretch 32/Josh Kumra 2 Emeli Sande 3 Maroon 5/Christina Aguilera 4 Nero 5 Christina Perri Top 10 6 Modestep Top 20 Top 30 22 Bruno Mars [MY] 25 Nicole [Wet] 27 Jessie J [WLN] Top 40 Joe Jonas ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Albums 1 Adele [21] 2 Jay-Z & Kanye West 3 Nero 4 Amy Winehouse [bTB] 5 Charlie Simpson Top 10 9 Chase & Status Kids In Glass Houses Top 15 Rihanna Top 20 John Denver Top 30 Jedward Top 40 Jacqui Dankworth Arctic Monkeys Katy B Bon Iver NO SALES INFO ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ARTIST UPDATES Singles JLS 5+4 Cher Lloyd 10+2 Beyonce 10+3 Nicki Minaj 10+5 Adele [sFTTR] 10+6 David Guetta/Sia 10+10 Katy Perry 20+1 Example 20+8 Lady GaGa 30+5 Albums Adele [19] 5+1 Beyonce 5+2 Amy Winehouse [Frank] 5+3 Jessie J 10+5 Lady GaGa 10+7 Chris Brown 10+9 Caro Emerald 20+1 Take That 20+3 Nicki Minaj 20+5

August 16, 201115 yr It really wouldn't have surprised me if you had.. Hm, will it be like this today: #1 Wretch #2 Emeil #3 Maroon 5 with it (hopefully) looking a bit differnet by the end of the week or at least by Sunday..
August 16, 201115 yr I would be happy with either Emeli or Wretch 32 as number 1. Fingers crossed Moves Like Jagger can stay top 5 all week, both acts are in need of another uk hit. Fingers crossed Nero doesn't fall too much and Dev can get another top 40 hit this week.
August 16, 201115 yr I'm hopeful for Nero at #1 in the albums, that would be properly great. And I think they're capable of doing it, since they got to #1 in the singles chart.

I think Nero will do it, they'll only need 40k-ish to get there. I would have liked to see Maroon 5 at #1 but looks unlikely now :(
August 16, 201115 yr Author I hate to disapoint but Adele is #1, Nero #3, Charlie Simpson #5 in the albums, I let spiidey do the rest for today. As for the singles Wretch #1, Emeli #2, Maroon 5 #3

August 16, 201115 yr Full MW update not in yet but in the albums, Adele is ahead of Jay_ZZZZZZ and Kanye Vest at 2 and Nero at 3
August 16, 201115 yr Based on selling more copies than anyone else? :rolleyes: But they're not... I think that's what he meant. All signs point to them being at #3 or even #4, so he was probably wondering what would make someone think they'd be #1.
August 16, 201115 yr I expected the low sales would benefit Charlie Simpson and KIGH. Not listened to the former album but the latter one is OK. Both will plummet by the weekend though. I think Adele needs 21 weeks at the top heh, but this will probably be its last.
August 16, 201115 yr Based on selling more copies than anyone else? :rolleyes: Anybody who follows the iTunes chart knows that wouldn't be the case. You're such a douche.
