I don't know but I'd think it's a fairly safe bet considering his sales pattern thus far.

 

Ok I thought you meant you had info that he was gaining on Olly this week. Yeah I agree that Buble's sales will increase week on week.

 

Cheryl is going to release another album next year. I'm really, really excited for it personally, since will.i.am is producing most of it I think, and also people like Alex Da Kid have songs on there. Cheryl will struggle if she doesn't get promotion, and she'll do well if she does I think.

 

And lol @ Jessie J vs. Tulisa. They're not exactly the same! :lol: They're both white female urban-pop singers, but that didn't stop Nelly Furtado and Fergie both being successful at the same time a few years ago. Tulisa would probably do more electro stuff than Jessie.

 

About X Factor judges, I'd personally love if both Nicole and Kelly could be on the UK version together. :wub:

 

Nicole and Kelly on X Factor together? Madness! Nicole is just a less successful version of Kelly, and she's a useless judge. Personally I'd bin both.

 

Although we don't know what kind of stuff Tulisa will come out with so we don't know how similar they're gonna be, Tulisa seems pretty enamoured with her mate Jessie J and I can see her going down the same route. At any rate she'll be after the same fans. I'm not saying she couldn't be successful as it depends on the songs and she can sing but do we need her as well? Jessie J has the market pretty cornered tbh.

 

As for Cheryl I thought the Will.I.Am songs on her debut were the worst, he's become a really lazy producer with crap like Dirty bit, so don't hold your breath for anything decent out of that partnership. I liked Fight for this love and Parachutes though, more of that would ensure her success.

Midweek Charts update: Pogues lead Christmas chart assault

14:26 | Wednesday November 30, 2011

By Paul Williams

Source: MW

 

The Pogues’ Fairytale Of New York is heading back to the UK Top 40 this Sunday for a seventh consecutive year and is set to lead a string of Christmas classics back into the chart.

 

The Warner-handled track, which features the late Kirsty MacColl, originally reached number two on the chart in 1987 and turned up again in 36th position in 1991, but since 2005 and the rise of the download era it has made the Top 40 every single year.

 

Having reached number three in 2005, six in 2006, four in 2007, eight in 2008, 12 in 2009 and 17 last Christmas, it is now on course to climb back into the Top 40 again this coming weekend, according to the Official Charts Company. It is currently the 33rd biggest seller of the week, while Mariah Carey’s own enduring Christmas hit All I Want For Christmas Is You is in 39th place, having been in 64th position on last Sunday’s chart.

 

A number of other Christmas evergreens are likely to mount a chart comeback as the calendar moves ever nearer to December 25. Just outside the Top 75 sellers presently are Last Christmas by Wham!, Lady Gaga’s version of White Christmas, Wizzard’s I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday and Merry Christmas Everyone by Shakin’ Stevens.

 

Syco’s X Factor Finalists 2011 single Wishing On A Star is on course to debut at number one this Sunday, while Epic act Olly Murs’ Dance With Me Tonight is at present winning a close battle with Def Jam/Mercury’s Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris single We Found Love for second place. Murs’ newly-issued second album In Case You Didn’t Know is around 19,000 sales ahead of Reprise/Warner Bros signing Michael Buble’s Christmas at the head of the artist albums market so far this week.

Oops, before anyone asks, Kylie's album has been pushed out of the 40 by the likes of N-Dubz and Rod Stewart.

:( Hopefully it makes the Top 75, and atleast the DVD should do well on the Music DVD Chart, considering the high peaks of her other DVD's :D

Any sign of T'pau - China in Your Hand?

 

Its not even on the iTunes top 100, I don't want to sound a bit off-ish but if you look at the iTunes chart before posting "Any sign of T'Pau" its hardly going to chart anywhere near the top 40 and it can't be even anywhere near the top 75.

And it is an awful song as well

Fair point. I should look there. I'm not used to asking about these things. Sorry.

And it is an awful song as well

 

 

When has that stopped anything from charting?

Thank you Mart!in, and very observant with my age and you got it right!!god though on thinking of it i feel very old when i think of addding 4 years on!!

Happy snow patrol are still top 20 and matt cardle holding steady enough in the top 35.

 

You are older than i thought, no offense :lol:

 

 

Oops, before anyone asks, Kylie's album has been pushed out of the 40 by the likes of N-Dubz and Rod Stewart.

 

:cry: My poor little Aphrodite.

:cry: My poor little Aphrodite.

 

The fact that she has been replaced by N-Dubz just makes me wanna die! :cry:

Unlikely - their sales are normally more front-loaded than Jordan's chest. :w00t:

 

 

:lol: Maybe, but the time of the year usually means it will stay top 20 at least until the week after xmas - thats what happens most years - we'll have to wait and see!!

I don't know but I'd think it's a fairly safe bet considering his sales pattern thus far:

 

05/11 #3 53,736 (-)

12/11 #5 35,885 (-33.2%)

19/11 #2 61,535 (+71.5%)

26/11 #1 85,787 (+39.4%)

03/12 #3 115,445 (+34.6%)

 

He's increased rapidly the past 3 weeks and there's no reason he'd stop now, I suspect he'll continue to grow really quickly for the next four weeks, possibly peaking around the 300k mark in the Christmas week.

 

Also he seems to have stronger sales towards the tail end of the week (we couldn't tell this last week of course but it was obvious from the previous 2 weeks) while Olly will be starting to tail off a lot by then.

 

Pretty sure he will be whoring himself about too - on the X-Factor, maybe even the final, he has his own TV show a la Beyonce this Sunday and Ferne announced he's on her show next Thursday too!

Take That appear to have dropped since yesterday, I would wonder are they in danger of missing the Top 10.

Hmm, Olly 19k ahead of Bublé? He could stay ahead then but I still expect Bublé will run him close.

 

I hope The Pogues climb from #33 before Sunday. Top 30 would be brilliant. Ugh at Mariah showing up, it's only just cracked the iTunes top 40 so I was thinking it'd be low top 50 at best this week :(

 

Midnight Run in the top 40 :cheer: I hope it can at least beat the peak of 'Last Ones Standing'.

 

Looks like Progress Live will miss the top 10 then :o It's already likely to be their first release (bar an import of 'Nobody Else' that charted eparately at #26) to miss the top 3, but to miss the top 10...

 

Can I ask where Labrinth is today please? Thanks.

Its strange about mariah and some of the other xmas perrenial hits being 'just outside the top 75'....there must be plenty of versions on itunes, most of them are held up just outside the top 100, withn wizzard entering the top 100 today at 98?!

 

Anyway looking forward to The Pogues and Mariah being played on Gregs midweek chart - if he skips them i will be p*ssed!!!

 

Good to see mariah and the pogues entering lower down the top 40 this year - with an extra week there will hopefully be a nice rise up the chart instead of stalling randomly some weeks like last year - think the slade chart run was 51-49-52 or something stupid!!
