December 13, 201114 yr Midweek Charts: Little Mix's Cannonball firing to top spot 10:53 | Tuesday December 13, 2011 By Paul Williams Source: MW Singles Newly-crowned X Factor champions Little Mix are heading to the top of the UK singles chart this weekend, but their first-day sales are significantly down on those of 2010 champ Matt Cardle. Their Syco-issued cover of Damien Rice’s Cannonball sold 68,800 copies by the end of business on Monday to put it around 38,000 sales in front of its nearest challenger, according to Official Charts Company data. However, its sales in the week so far are fewer than the lead Cardle commanded day one for his own winner’s single When We Collide a year ago. Unusually, the X Factor winner’s single has been released two weeks before the Christmas chart, which is announced on December 25 this year, so, although Cannonball looks destined to lead this coming Sunday’s countdown, it will have to hang on another week to be the Christmas number one. Rice’s original version of Cannonball is heading for a chart return on the back of Little Mix’s cover. Having made the Top 10 for the first time this year after being performed by X Factor contestant John Adams, the Atlantic-handled single returns as the 11th best seller of the week to date. Michael Buble leads albums midweeks (see separate story). Lining up behind Little Mix, who beat Marcus Collins in last Sunday’s final, are two acts who featured on The X Factor over the weekend. Parlophone signings Coldplay look on course for their highest chart peak on the singles chart since Viva La Vida reached number one in 2008 with Paradise’s sales leaping 261% after they performed it on the ITV1 programme. Having ranked seventh on last Sunday’s chart, it is the new chart week’s second biggest seller. Meanwhile, Syco artist Leona Lewis, who performed on the Saturday programme, is showing up as a new entry at three with Hurt, while 2009 runner-up Olly Murs’ Epic single Dance With Me Tonight, which climbed to one last weekend, is now down to four. Def Jam/Mercury’s former chart topper We Found Love by Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris completes the top five, dropping 4-5. Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You is heading for the Top 10 for the first time since 1007 with the RCA-handled single moving 12-7 in the midweeks, while Warner Bros’s Fairytale Of New York by Pogues featuring Kirsty MacColl leads a wave of other festive singles progressing as it rises 15-13.

December 13, 201114 yr The top 40 albums is so static, only one entry into the top 40 (Adele). Unfortunately for some people who've played the Xmas competition, Kate Bush isn't the album that's fallen out.
December 13, 201114 yr I'm not surprised in the least about Little Mix low figure to be honest. I know they have quite a lot of support around here but the were just the best of an average bunch this year surely? They will still comfortably be #1 though which is still good for them. Does anyone know roughly how many they would sell by the end of the week with an opening midweek total like that? I know both Matt and Joe the year before sold 450k or so?

December 13, 201114 yr that figure is ok not amazing for little mix, though it is not the race for xmas #1 this week so that may have lost them sales. happy rihanna is #5 still, hoping for 110k this week.

The physical is yet to hit the shops, which will be tomorrow, that will come into effect from Thurs mids onwards.

Does anyone know roughly how many they would sell by the end of the week with an opening midweek total like that? I know both Matt and Joe the year before sold 450k or so? It's hard to say really. Joe had the Rage campaign which definitely helped him to sell more than he would've, whilst Matt had problems because of the snow so could well have had higher first week sales than he did (but then with lower 2nd week sales). It was also Christmas number one week, maybe people are waiting until next week, but I can't see it being a particularly significant number. Perhaps more people will be buying a physical rather than download in compairison to last year but is that likely? I'd have thought Little Mix would appeal less to the physical generation than Matt did?
December 13, 201114 yr Do you have an update on Ed`s album please and can you include him in the artist update? Ta muchly
December 13, 201114 yr Top 20 18 Leona Lewis [iris] 19 Leona Lewis [Colorblind] This is definitely not true. I mean, those songs didn't even enter top100 on itunes from release??
December 13, 201114 yr The physical is yet to hit the shops, which will be tomorrow, that will come into effect from Thurs mids onwards. Sure do you think they can shift almost 400k by the weekend though which would be what they would have to do to match the last two years? Will be pretty tough. I guess we'll see. Also the Physical was released midweek for Matt too? At least I thought I read that on one of the discussions.

I agree, I just think Little Mix aren't as "generally popular" as Matt was, but I think ultimately they'll do better.
December 13, 201114 yr This is definitely not true. I mean, those songs didn't even enter top100 on itunes from release?? Its a mistake that happens often in the first (and sometimes second) set of mids - it'll be correctly tomorrow, or by Thursday at the latest. One of those entries is the sales of the EP of Hurt (or the single of Hurt) but incorrectly labelled; lord knows what the other of the entries is! :o Do you have an update on Ed`s album please and can you include him in the artist update? Ta muchly Have added it to artist update :)
