August 23, 201113 yr Author Someone just tweeted this And looks like @will_young31 is thumping @joemcelderry91 - he's sold over double of Joes album! Also he's only less than 1000 ahead of Adele
August 23, 201113 yr Over more than Double of Joe's? that's not fab is it? :lol: and i do think Will's sales will be fab. Will is number one in the Album chart and At three in the singles chart.and he is trending on Twitter right now! :D OK..so i did predict he'd do the double with Album and single..but hey..lets not split hairs., :lol:
August 23, 201113 yr Author Music week Murs, Young and McElderry bring reality to charts 11:01 | Tuesday August 23, 2011 By Paul Williams The new season of The X Factor will be marked this coming weekend by a takeover of the top end of the UK sales charts by former reality show contestants with Olly Murs likely to lead the singles countdown and Will Young and Joe McElderry battling for albums supremacy. Murs, X Factor runner-up to McElderry in 2009, looks on course to score his second UK number one single this Sunday with his newly-released Epic/Syco single Heart Skips A Beat, featuring Rizzle Kicks, having opened up a lead of around 8,000 sales, according to the Official Charts Company. It is one of three brand new Sony singles filling the week’s top three slots presently with Columbia’s Calvin Harris placed second with Feel So Close and RCA’s Will Young third with Jealously. Ministry of Sound’s Wretch 32 with Don’t Go featuring Josh Kumra is fourth in the new chart week having debuted at number one last Sunday. Young, whose auditions on his way to winning Pop Idol began 10 years ago this month, is doing even better on albums where his fifth studio album Echoes is the week so far’s biggest seller, outselling closest rival and fellow new release Classic by Joe McElderry by more than two copies to one. The early sales performance of Classic, which is released by Universal’s Decca, suggests something of a chart comeback for 2009 X Factor winner McElderry whose first album Wide Wake debuted and peak at number three last November but swiftly declined. In a very busy week for new singles and albums, Young and McElderry’s albums are among six new titles showing up among the 10 biggest album sellers so far this week with Levels/Ministry of Sound’s Wretch 32 ranked fourth with his debut album Black And White, Atlantic/Necessary’s Hard-Fi are sixth with Killer Sounds, the RCA-handled What Matters Most by Barbra Streisand is seventh and rapper The Game’s Geffen/Polydor-issued The Red Album is in 10th place. The huge influx of new albums has sent MTA/Mercury act Nero’s first album Welcome Reality, which debuted at one last Sunday, down to fifth spot, while XL’s Adele is down 2-3 with 21. On singles Noel Gallagher could open his chart account as a solo artist with a Top 10 single as the Death Of You And Me – billed as by Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds – is at present ranked as the week’s eighth top seller. Wherever it eventually finishes on this Sunday’s final chart the Sour Mash-issued single should comfortably beat the highest singles chart peak to date of his former Oasis colleagues in Beady Eye. The Roller reached number 31 earlier this year. The reality show theme continues lower down the chart with country singer Scotty McCreery, who won the 10th season of American Idol in May, turning up in 27th place with For Once In My Life. That is one place higher than Interscope/Poldyor’s Stefano Langone with the newly-released Hello.
August 23, 201113 yr So so happy with midweeks! :yahoo: :yahoo: Having Jealousy reach 3 and hopefully stay top 5 is such an unexpected bonus. I'm thrilled for Will and us with the no 1 position of Echoes but not surprised. What a fabulous album and I can honestly say...I love every track!! :cheer: Hope it hangs in there but from Sony's comment it seems positive. Lesley.x

August 23, 201113 yr Author Sunday, do you think Will could do over 100k this week? Album sales are different than when LIG was released, for example #5 in the mids last week only managed to get just over double that were posted on the tuesday...others get 3 x we won't know until we see a couple of days sales to see how it is holding up.
August 23, 201113 yr Thanks Sunday..Yes i know it's a lot different..9k for a number two album is shocking to say the least :huh: But i'm hopeful that Will's promo for this week and next will keep his sales buoyant. :D
