If We Found Love, which secured a third week at number one last Sunday, does remain in charge Rihanna is likely to achieve a chart-topping double as her brand new album Talk That Talk continues to have a comfortable lead in the artist albums market. It was around 20,000 sales ahead at the close of trading on Thursday of Syco’s newly-released One Direction album Up All Night, which has now broken through 100,000 sales.

5th week surely??

6th week

Bublé will probably make 100k you'd imagine, it's going to be HUGE for the next month. Very impressed that Noel is only dropping one place with five new entries ahead of him. There could be up to seven newies in the top 20 next week (Gorillaz, Il Divo, Joe McElderberry, Kelly Rowland, N-Dubz, Olly Murs and Take That) but I'd like to think he'll overtake stuff like Nickelback and stay in there.

5th week surely??

Yeah it should be 5th week, they forgot Rihanna had 3 weeks previously at #1 to Prof. Green. Actually I don't know how they came up with 3 weeks in the first place.

 

6th week

 

 

It will be 6th week this coming Sunday, if Rihanna topples Olly

Very pleased that Rebecca Ferguson's stayed top 10, this gives me hope that she can actually score an official top 10 this week, as long as she doesn't drop out of the iTunes top 10 before tonight, I'd say she's a safe bet. I'm so so pleased for her too, I was worried she'd become the only finalist to not achieve a top 10 single from last series, so despite it not being #1 like the other three's débuts, she should be really pleased for herself :D

I'd love to see Noel climb back a bit.. one of my favourite albums of the year (so far); not sure exactly how many Dig Out Your Soul sold in the end - about 400K was it? - but he may yet outdo it.

The Take That Live DVD came out this week didn't it, but I thought the CD was next week? I only ask because it's already for sale in my HMV! Only saw it today so not sure if it's been there all week or it just came out today, would they carry across any sales to next week?

Rihanna's album probablay a black friday deal on amazon this afternon. The page says "Upcoming Deal:

She's hotter than Barbados." :)

 

Might push her sales more towards 200k i hope.

 

 

It won't be the Deluxe version though that I want and they'll be sold within seconds. May try at 4pm though.

And the Now! 80 CD at 7.30pm too. Rihanna will probably be £1 like Take That/SuBo last year but can't see Now being as cheap as that! Either way both deals will sell out in the blink of an eye like the One Direction CD and also The Lion King DVD, clicked on both the split second they went live and got put straight on the waiting list!

Did you get either then? What's the point of the waiting list then if they're all sold out? :rolleyes: Now 80 may be £2. ;)

Dig Out Your Soul did about 550k, I remember cos it was certified 2x platinum (same as Standing On The Shoulder of Giants) despite never quite making it. High Flying Birds should really be pushing double platinum eventually with some good discounting in January. Will probably be on about 310k at the end of this week.

Nah I did not despite being #1 on the waitlist and having a 'good chance' along with hundreds of others, also #1 on the waitlist

:lol:

Basically the 'waitlist' is if people put something in their basket and then decide within the 15 minutes they actually don't want it, when they delete it, it goes to the waitlist. Which is fine in theory but with items like those above and the Rihanna CD I'd be amazed if ANYONE deleted those items so for desirable items it's essentially useless!

lol at westlife, not only did they miss the top 10 chart run with their ever last single. Their strike of 11 top 3 albums in a row will also be over now :dance:

550K is more than I realised, but I agree HFB could still top it if it continues to hold well over Christmas. I'd also love to see Coldplay double platinum by the end of the year, although unless they spend the whole of December in the Top 10 I think that may be pushing it.

If Coldplay are on X Factor as rumored, they will defiantly stay Top 10 over Christmas, although I think they will anyway as MX would be on many people Christmas list for sure. I just wish they would hurry up and announce the next single

The Take That cd could struggle due to the DVD selling in massive numbers.

I still hope for the top-10.

Got one, at £4 a little more expensive than I was hoping for given last year's top CD deals but still a good deal, just means I'll download the deluxe tracks separately, there's 3 isn't there?

I still hope for the top-10.

 

 

I wish they could use the same system as is Germany when music dvds also counts to the regular album chart and CD and dvd music realeses are also counted together. Then they could realese both the dvd and CD the same day and it would easely topp the album chart
