Posted December 5, 201114 yr Midweek Charts: Winehouse leading albums market Source: MW 11:01 | Tuesday December 6, 2011 By Paul Williams Singles On the singles chart the big new arrival of the week is the Interscope/Polydor-issued Dedication To My Ex (Miss That) by Lloyd featuring Andre 3000 and Lil Wayne. It is new at three on the week’s first sales flashes, just ahead of Island/Lava’s Jessie J single Who You Are, which moves 8-4, and Def Jam/Mercury’s Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris single We Found Love, dropping 3-5. Heavily backed by Zane Lowe and 1 Xtra, the 3 Beat/AATW single Still Speedin’ by Sway featuring Kano will move this weekend from its lowly 137th position high into the Top 20. It is presently 12th for the week, two places ahead of the newly-issued Jive/RCA offering 5 O’Clock by T-Pain, Wiz Khalif and Lily Allen. Albums Amy Winehouse is on course to top the UK artist albums chart posthumously this coming weekend with the newly-issued Lioness: Hidden Treasures outselling its closest rival by more than 20,000 sales. The Island album, who brings together mostly previously-unreleased tracks from across her recording career, had sold around 67,000 copies up to the end of trading on Monday, according to the Official Charts Company. Behind it currently in second place is Reprise/Warner Bros’s Michael Buble album Christmas, which was at two on last Sunday’s chart. The X Factor 2010 runner-up Rebecca Ferguson further increases the number of former contestants from the show among the Top 10 album sellers with her debut Heaven currently showing up as a new entry at three. It is only around 600 sales behind Buble’s album and a good 13,000 ahead of the previous year’s silver medallist Olly Murs’ second longplayer In case You Didn’t Know, which debuted at one last Sunday. Murs is putting up a strong fight to top the singles chart finally with Dance With Me Tonight, which has been number two for the past fortnight. It is in second place again so far this week, but only about 1,800 sales behind the X Factor Finalists 2011’s Wishing On A Star, which debuted at one last weekend. The week-on-week sales decline for the Murs single is far more modest than that for Wishing On A Star, down 20% on the last seven days compared to 64%, so he has every chance of catching up and overtaking this year’s finalists. On the albums chart last year’s third-placed contestants One Direction slip 4-8 with first album Up All Night, which has now been overtaken by Adele’s ever-present XL album 21 whose sales are up 50% on the week following her six Grammy nominations, although chart-wise it drops 5-6. Asylum/Atlantic’s Ed Sheeran album + is also showing real resilience, holding in seventh place but with sales up 48% on the week to date. Def Jam/Mercury’s Rihanna album Talk That Talk completes the top five, dropping 3-5. A Strictly Come Dancing performance is working wonders for Alfie Boe whose Decca-issued Alfie’s sales are up 58% to move it 20-15 in the week so far, while the Def Jam/Mercury album Under The Mistletoe by Justin Bieber has increased its sales by 146% and climbs 54-28 after he performed on last Sunday’s X Factor results show. Its title track moves 122-28 on singles. Show judge and fellow performer on the night Kelly Rowland’s own Universal album Here I Am is also on the rise, moving in the week to date 56-30 with a 127% increase in sales. With only three more chart weeks to go before Christmas, the number of big new albums out is drying up, reflected by a paucity of new entries to the midweeks. However, Ferguson’s new album is joined by new sets from Nonesuch/Warner Bros’s Black Keys, Nuclear Blast’s Nightwish and Roadrunner’s Korn. ===================================================== Top 40 Only Singles 1 X Factor Finalists/JLS/One Direction (17,875) 2 Olly Murs (16,061) 3 Lloyd/Andre 3000/Lil' Wayne (13,924) 4 Jessie J 5 Rihanna Top 10 8 Kelly Rowland 10 Coldplay Top 15 12 Sway T-Pain/Wiz Khalifa/Lily Allen Top 20 The Pogues/Kirsty MacColl 19 Mariah Carey Top 30 22 Beyonce Slow Moving Millie Rebecca Ferguson 25 Example Justin Bieber Top 40 31 Avril Lavigne Wilson Phillips 39 JLS [DYFWIF] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Albums 1 Amy Winehouse (67,433) 2 Michael Buble (43,758) 3 Rebecca Ferguson (43,185) 4 Olly Murs (30,200) 5 Rihanna Top 15 Florence + The Machine Alfie Boe Top 20 Black Keys Top 30 22 Beyonce Justin Bieber 30 Kelly Rowland Top 40 Nightwish Korn ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ARTIST UPDATES Singles Flo Rida 5+1 Ed Sheeran [LH] 5+2, [TAT] 30+8 Maroon 5 10+3 Bruno Mars 10+10 Lady Gaga [MTN] 20+1 Christina Perri 20+6 Katy Perry 20+9 Olly Murs 30+2 One Direction [WMYB] 30+5 Albums Coldplay 7+2 Westlife 10+1 JLS 10+2 Florence + The Machine 10+4 Noel Gallagher 10+6 Susan Boyle 10+8 Take That 10+9 Jessie J 10+10 Lady Gaga [bTW] 20+2 Snow Patrol 20+3 Beyonce 20+5 Joe McElderry 20+7 Will Young 20+9 James Morrison 30+8 Kate Bush 30+2

December 5, 201114 yr Author Midweek Charts update: Sheeran album hits half million Source: MW 13:57 | Thursday December 8, 2011 By Paul Williams Ed Sheeran’s debut album + has this week surpassed half a million sales in the UK as it firmly establishes itself as one of the Christmas market’s biggest sellers. The Asylum/Atlantic album moved over the 500,000 mark during trading on Tuesday, while sales are up 31% on the week to make it the seventh top-selling artist album of the week so far, according to the Official Charts Company. Parlophone act Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto has also this week surpassed half a million sales, having sold another 37,000 units this week up to the end of business on Wednesday. Sales of the album are up 31% on the week, although it has dipped 8-9 on the midweek chart listings. Island’s posthumous Amy Winehouse album Lioness – Hidden Treasures comfortably remains the week’s top-selling artist album, while Reprise/Warner Bros act Michael Buble’s Christmas is currently around 10,000 sales ahead of Rebecca Ferguson’s newly-issued debut Epic album Heaven to take second spot. Buble’s album sold its 500,000th copy in the UK last Sunday. There is a close battle raging in the singles market with Syco’s X Factor Finalists 2011 single Wishing On A Star fewer than 1,000 sales ahead of Epic act and 2009 X Factor runner-up Olly Murs’ Dance With Me Tonight up to the close of business on Wednesday. ================================ Thursday Update Top 40 Only Singles 1 X Factor Finalists (1k ahead) 2 Olly Murs 3 Lloyd ft.

December 5, 201114 yr Author Midweek Charts update: Amy up to nearly 150,000 sales Source: MW 11:39 | Friday December 9, 2011 By Paul Williams Amy Winehouse’s Lioness – Hidden Treasures is heading for one of the biggest first-week sales of the year in the UK after shifting nearly 150,000 copies in just four days. The posthumous Island album reached 143,803 sales up to the end of business on Thursday, according to the Official Charts Company, already giving it the sixth best first week of the year with two days of trading still remaining. While it may not reach the first weeks of Lady Gaga’s Born This Way (215,639), Coldplay’s Xylo Myloto (208,343) and Adele’s 21 (208,090), it is poised to beat the opening numbers of Rihanna’s Talk That Talk (163,819) and Olly Murs’ In Case You Didn’t Know (148,532), both of which topped the artist albums chart in the past fortnight. Lioness is presently around 30,000 sales ahead of its nearest rival Christmas by Reprise/Warner Bros’s Michael Buble with RCA’s X Factor runner-up Rebecca Ferguson third with her newly-issued debut album Heaven. That had already sold 95,396 copies up until the end of Thursday, putting it easily on course for a six-figure sum first week. On singles Epic artist Olly Murs’ patience may finally be rewarded having been at number two during the past two weeks with Dance With Me Tonight and narrowly stuck again at the beginning of this new chart week behind Syco’s X Factor Finalists 2011 single Wishing On A Star. The Murs track has now turned that narrow deficit into a narrow lead to head the midweek rankings, but it is far too close between the two singles to determine who will be number one when the week’s total numbers are tallied up on Sunday. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Friday Update Top 40 Only Singles 1 Olly Murs 2 X Factor Finalists 3 Flo Rida 4 Lloyd ft.

December 6, 201114 yr Author I'm back... update coming shortly in the meantime Amy is #1 in the albums, XFF are still #1 with Olly at #2 and Lloyd #3.
December 6, 201114 yr Does that mean 47,000 for Rebecca? Wow, that's way more than I thought. Maybe that's due to high pre-orders, and by the end of the week, she may struggle to sell 100k.
December 6, 201114 yr Rebecca at 3 with about 45k already, it's fine with me. Olly had sold 50k by the same time last week ! She has no chance on gaining on Buble I think as he will most probably increase his sales as we get closer and closer to Christmas. Olly better not overtake Rebecca though or I will be well pissed. Edited December 6, 201114 yr by Hayzayy
December 6, 201114 yr Rebecca really #3? :o Wow, that is SO much better than I thought. Well done to her.
December 6, 201114 yr Author Please be patient for artists requests the chart mod team are working on them, the albums have really screwed us up, as there is a column missing, the position for last week's. Reading between the lines from the MW report I think the ripped out sales look just about right.
December 6, 201114 yr Where are Marry the Night and Born This Way (album) please? Marry The Night 15+6 Born This Way 15+7 ^_^
December 6, 201114 yr Surely there must be an error in the album chart Cher Lloyd was at #25 last week and her sales have increased the last few weeks yet she is not in the top 40 yet other artists who had no increase the last few Weeks are still there. I know she could have dropped ..but by that much ?
December 6, 201114 yr Gobsmacked by Rebecca's sales, very pleased for her. And Paradise is finally Top 10!!!! :cheer:
December 6, 201114 yr Whenever somebody has time, could I please get the position for Take That Progress Live?
