Hmm, Olly's now back ahead of Lloyd combined on iTunes (only by a bit though) so I do now think he's the most likely candidate for #1 this week. But there's still 2 days left and sales are ridiculously close so if Lloyd gets a boost for whatever reason tomorrow or on Saturday he could still challenge. I really don't mind either way, it would be awesome if Olly gets to #1 this week and Lloyd climbs there in the new year (which could happen) :D It'll be a bit crap that Olly is getting #1 by default when he sold more in both of his first two weeks but DWMT deserves to be a #1.

One thing's for sure, it'll be the closest battle of the year!!

 

Hardly, Example beat Maroon 5 by about 200 copies. So-called "close battles" are often less close than when someone gets a boost that isn't shown in the midweeks. Witness "Moves Like Jagger" getting far closer to "Stay Awake" than "We Found Love".

No mids yet, probably Coldplay has crashed the system :kink:
Do you mean 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen'? Or has she done a medley of that and 'O COME All Ye Faithful'? :unsure:

 

:rolleyes:

 

The first one, I'm just a bit of a dunce :unsure:

Can't see this posted

 

@ollyofficial: YESSSSSSSS on Final Midweeks!! I'm at #1 with #dancewithmetonight 2 DAYS TO HOLD IT!!! Would be the icing on the cake!! After a hard year!!

Lol at the triple post, somebody got so excited. :lol:
according to OCC facebook, Olly is 750 copies ahead of XFF

 

I think the only thing standing in his way is Saturday shoppers but could they really overturn that lead from itunes?

according to OCC facebook, Olly is number 1, and is 775 copies ahead of XFF

 

Is he the first reality show contestant to climb to Number 1? (Excepting Steve Brookstein and Joe McElderry's slightly artificial climbs).

I don't think XFF physicals are going to do that much tomorrow, the final is not on until 8pm tomorrow. I think Olly will benefit more as he is co-presenting on the Xtra Factor
Is he the first reality show contestant to climb to Number 1? (Excepting Steve Brookstein and Joe McElderry's slightly artificial climbs).

 

Surely this will be an artificial climb too. He's only #1 because he isn't falling as fast as the exceptionally frontloaded XFF 2011 single.. sales will be really low.

From shit (Xfactor) to shitter (Olly)

:rolleyes:

Ollys song is the better of the bunch in contention for number 1, therefore from the candidates i would hope Olly can hold the number 1 position now.

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.
