UK Midweek Chart: Florence likely to end Coldplay's chart reign

10:51 | Tuesday November 1, 2011

By Paul Williams

 

Florence + The Machine’s Ceremonials is poised to end Coldplay’s run at the top of the UK artist albums chart after just a week as Cher Lloyd faces a close battle with Professor Green to top the singles countdown again.

 

Island’s second Florence album has sold around 38,000 copies in the week so far, according to the Official Charts Company, about 14,400 copies ahead of Parlophone act Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto whose sales are 76% down on the week having debuted at number one last Sunday.

 

Colplday are sandwiched in second place by two brand new albums with Ceremonials at one and Virgin’s Professor Green currently a new entry in third place with At Your Inconvenience. And there are another three brand new albums presently occupying Top 10 slots with Columbia’s Manic Street Preachers retrospective National Treasures fifth, Rizzle Kicks’ Island debut Stereo Typical sixth and Decca act Alfie Boe’s Alfie eighth. Sour Marsh’s Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds completes the top five dropping 2-4.

 

A very busy week for new albums continues with another four new releases occupying positions 11 to 20, two of which are catalogue packages. The Beach Boys’ Smile is now no longer the most famous unreleased album in history and is the 12th top seller of the week to date for EMI, while Mercury’s 20th anniversary re-issue of U2’s Achtung Baby is in 16th position. With Reprise/Warner Bros act Michael Buble’s Christmas sliding 7-3, Def Jam/Mercury’s Justin Bieber doubles the number of festive releases in the Top 20 with Under The Mistletoe arriving in 14th position, while Lou Reed and Metallica’s Vertigo-issued collaboration Lulu is currently showing up as a new entry at 17. The heavy rock theme continues just below with newly-released albums by Roadrunner’s Megadeth and Universal Republic’s Steel Panther in 21st and 25th places respectively.

 

As his new album looks on course for a top-five debut this week, Professor Green must also fancy his chances of hanging onto the top of the singles chart for another week, even though he at present trails Cher Lloyd. Lloyd’s brand new Syco single With Ur Love, featuring Mike Posner and which was performed on The X Factor last Sunday, is the week-to-date’s top seller, but is only around 1,000 sales ahead of the Virgin-issued Professor Green featuring Emeli Sande track Read All About It, which debuted at one last Sunday.

 

Def Jam/Mercury’s We Found Love by Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris holds onto third place, while another Syco single, Earthquake by Labrinth featuring Tinie Tempah, is fourth having entered at two last weekend. Maroon 5 featuring Chrsitina Aguilera’s long-running A&M/Octone single Moves Like Jagger rounds off the top five by remaining in fifth place.

 

Another X Factor performer on last Sunday’s results show, Interscope/Polydor’s Nicole Scherzinger is 16th with the newly-released Try With Me, five places below another brand new release, Ministry of Sound’s Danza Kuduro (Thrown Your Hands Up) by Lucenzo & Qwote.

 

Meanwhile, X Factor contestant Craig Colton’s cover over the weekend of Adele’s Set Fire To The Rain has helped the original to increase its sales by 147% on the week to send it back in the Top 20.

By Charlotte Otter

 

Florence + The Machine’s second album Ceremonials is streaking ahead of Coldplay in the midweek charts – with the record now more than 17,000 units ahead of Mylo Xyloto.

 

Sales of Chris Martin et al’s fourth album are down 76% week on week in the listings, having debuted at number one last Sunday.

 

Virgin’s Professor Green remains in third place with a good 5,000 units separating it from Noel Gallagher’s High Fling Birds – last week’s second highest charting album – now in fourth place.

 

Elsewhere within the OCC top 10 bestselling albums of the week, and Alfie Boe and the Manic Street Preachers best of – National Treasures, battle it out – with less than 500 sales separating the two in sixth and seventh place respectively.

 

Meanwhile, Cher Lloyd looks set to enjoy her second number one single as With UR Love - featuring Mike Posner continues to move ahead of last week’s chart topper – Professor Green feat. Emelie Sandé’s Read All About It.

 

Lloyd’s track is the only new single entering the top 10 this week, with Lucenzo & Qwote’s Danza Kuduro sitting pretty at number 12.

UK Midweek Chart update: new sales high for Florence

10:41 | Friday November 4, 2011

By Paul Williams

Source: MW

 

 

Singles

 

On singles the Virgin single Read All About It by Professor Green featuring Emeli Sande has extended its lead over fellow new release With Ur Love by Syco’s Cher Lloyd featuring Mike Posner and now looks like becoming Green’s first chart-topping single. {This is clearly worded incorrectly}

 

 

Albums

 

Ceremonials has already achieved the highest weekly career sales to date in the UK for Florence + The Machine just four days into its release.

 

The Island album is set to debut at number one on the artist albums chart this coming Sunday having sold around 72,000 copies up to the close of business on Wednesday, according to the Official Charts Company. That is already more than the highest sales Florence’s first album Lungs managed across an entire week.

 

Lungs debuted at number two in July 2009 after selling 63,020 copies, which remains the most copies it has sold in a week, despite eventually spending two weeks at number one the following January. It has now sold around 1.4 million units in the UK.

 

Ceremonials is currently about 55% ahead in sales of its nearest challenger, Parlophone act Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto, whose sales are down 72% on the week having debuted at number one last Sunday.

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.

[08] Please give a mention to who posted the chart info or the site name where you seen the mid info if you are copying and posting the chart info elsewhere, it takes forever trying to re-edit all the information up for you to see.

Wondering how high Lou Reed and Metallica will be, good chance of top 5 today and top 10 by Sunday.

Manics will miss the Top 10, I reckon.

 

 

Manics should easily get a top 10 album its their first GHs and most people don't have their full back album catalogue like me, so its a bonus and they did perform on Jo Wiley's Music show and its getting advertised in the ad breaks, I can't see it missing.

Praying to God that Nicole is in the top 10
They had a greatest hits in 2002...

 

 

It is a much superior package though. And a lot more dignified too.

:mellow: One that I missed, I only have 3 of their studio albums.

really hope cher lloyd doesnt get to number 1 it was bad enough that her first single got there

UK Midweek Chart: Florence likely to end Coldplay's chart reign

10:51 | Tuesday November 1, 2011

Florence + The Machine’s Ceremonials is poised to end Coldplay’s run at the top of the UK artist albums chart after just a week as Cher Lloyd faces a close battle with Professor Green to top the singles countdown again.

 

Island’s second Florence album has sold around 38,000 copies in the week so far, according to the Official Charts Company, about 14,400 copies ahead of Parlophone act Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto whose sales are 76% down on the week having debuted at number one last Sunday.

Sour Marsh’s Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds completes the top five dropping 2-4.

 

A very busy week for new albums continues with another four new releases occupying positions 11 to 20, two of which are catalogue packages. The Beach Boys’ Smile is now no longer the most famous unreleased album in history and is the 12th top seller of the week to date for EMI, while Mercury’s 20th anniversary re-issue of U2’s Achtung Baby is in 16th position. With Reprise/Warner Bros act Michael Buble’s Christmas sliding 7-3, Def Jam/Mercury’s Justin Bieber doubles the number of festive releases in the Top 20 with Under The Mistletoe arriving in 14th position, while Lou Reed and Metallica’s Vertigo-issued collaboration Lulu is currently showing up as a new entry at 17.

FATM 14,400 ahead of Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto whose sales are 76% down on the week having debuted at number one last Sunday.

 

wow. i didnt expect that :o not going great for coldplay

 

cher lloyd will lose top spot by 2mo

I can't believe that C.Lloyd is no.1 again! Who the hell is buying that crap song, especially after that underpar performance on The X Factor?
The manics new best is is a complete singles package. All 38 singles and in chronological order on 2cds. Worth the money even if you already own the previous 2002 best of. That best of is only good if you have the remixes cd that accompanied certain ltd copies of Forever Delayed.
