It is SAD TIMES when Evanescene are considered for #1. :manson:

And yet I was really enjoying life the last time they had a no.1 album. Summer 2003 :wub:

I agree. f***ing dreadful and massively overrated band. Unfortunately it does seem likely they'll be #1 as Kasabian, Ed Sheeran and Adele are already selling under 35k and James Morrison will probably decline just as fast as Kasabian/Ed, so Evanescence will probably only need 30k max to get #1 :angry:

Michael Buble's album Christmas is out on Oct. 24th and could be an instant No.1. Certainly it'll be a big seller in the run up to Christmas.

Christmas albums as a general rule don't do amazingly in the UK, "Crazy Love" was huge and he would accumulate big sales with a proper new studio album but even then he relied on "casual sales" so much that I can't see this doing amazing things. Could go to #1 though.

No you're right they don't do too well but this is Buble, who's sold 2 million of each of his last 2 albums! He won't beat Coldplay in his first week but think he'll have a few big weeks in late Nov/early Dec.

<cough>Katherine Jenkins<cough>

 

She's usually good for 40k+ first week.

Not usually until late October and November. She'll suffer from Christmas advertising not having kicked in yet.

Yeah, who is generally a casual seller. You can usually work out how well an album is going to sell in its first week based on how well previous albums have done, but it's a far higher multiplier for acts with legions of fans.

Thinking about it I can't see it selling that well in late October. I'd have released a month later. He'll have big weekly sales much nearer to Christmas, especially if it's TV advertised and he's performing his single on X-Factor.

I don't think Evanescence have a cat in hell's chance of No.1 as I think Jason Derulo will take it.

But it's not an Xmas album...

I wouldn't count out Sir Cliff

 

I take it he's given up on the singles chart then, since he's releasing the single on the same week as the album. Is the 'single' download only (i.e. not a single at all)?

 

Björk's new album could do decently next week as well.

I don't know anyone who would buy a Katherine Jenkins album for their own listening pleasure, I know plenty who would buy one as a gift. Hence, it benefits from Christmas advertising.

I forgot about Bjork, some weeks we'd see a completely new #6-10 in the albums chart with this release schedule :lol:

I don't think the single is actually being released
