Well ok sorry if I was out of line by asking about Adele, but you all saw how much "Candle In The Wind" sold after Diana hit the block.

Do you think if Adele dies soon it could help her sell more than 20K for a week?

Did you even read the PM I sent you?

You know that thing when you say something bad, then say something else bad, then try and make it better but make it worse?!

You will never run out of unintentional MotW's. You are the gift that just keeps giving.

GOOD!!!! GOOD GOOD!!!

KEEP IT COMING IT'S GOOD

For the first time in a while (since the last Shelli thread) I went on BJ and felt like "reading" the porn film shooting. By that quote out of the context I'd never guess that it's actually about the top-200 best selling females?!

Midweek Charts: 21 battling for 21st week at number one

Singles

 

Island/Lava’s Jessie J is very likely to lose her singles crown with Domino after two weeks this Sunday as Barbadian act Cover Drive prepare to score their second UK hit with a number one. The newly-issued Twilight is around 15,000 sales ahead of Domino as it gets set to follow breakthrough hit Lick Ya Down, which peaked at nine last year, into the Top 10.

 

Positiva/Virgin’s David Guetta track Titanium featuring Sia is in third place, the same position it held on last Sunday’s chart, while Sia is lined up to feature on a second Top 10 hit with the Atlantic-issued Wild Ones by Flo Rida, which includes the Australian singer, showing up as a midweek new entry at five. Flo Rida is also on course for two simultaneous Top 10 hits as Good Feeling drops on midweek sales 5-7.

 

Island’s Rizzle Kicks fall 2-4 with Mama Do The Hump, while just ahead of the release of her debut album Polydor’s Lana Del Ray is appearing as a new entry at 10 with Born To Die as predecessor Video Games holds at 20. The MTA/Mercury-issued Get Out My Head by MTA, meanwhile, arrives in 16th place in the week to date.

 

Among the week’s big sales gainers are RCA’s Kelly Clarkson with Stronger (up 51% to climb 11-8), The J/RCA single International Love by Pitbull featuring Chris Brown (up 31% to rise 14-13), Island’s Gotye featuring Kmibra with Somebody That I Used To Know (up 84% to move 21-15) and Virgin signing Professor Green’s Never Be Right Time (up 30% and moving 42-34).

 

Albums

 

Adele’s 21 is leading the race to be number one this weekend in what continues to be a very quiet albums market with its closest rivals fellow 2011 chart-toppers by Coldplay, Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars.

 

However, the XL album, which returned to number one for a 20th week last Sunday and now could be on course for its 21st, was only around 300 sales ahead of nearest challenger Mylo Xyloto by Parlophone’s Coldplay up to the end of business on Tuesday, according to Official Charts Company Data.

 

Ed Sheeran’s Asylum/Atlantic debut + is the third best seller of the week so far, while Elektra/Atlantic’s Bruno Mars is fourth with Doo-Wops & Hooligans. They are joined in the top five by another 2011 debut, Columbia act The Vaccines’ first outing What Did You Expect From The Vaccines, which moves up from its position of seven on last Sunday’s chart.

 

Taking advantage of another quiet week for big releases, Chris Isaak could be about to land his first Top 10 album since Wicked Game reached number three in 1991. The Rhino-issued Beyond The Sun is currently showing up as a new entry at six, a place ahead of Roadrunner act Lamb Of God’s newly-arrived Resolution.

 

Following his appearance on Jonathan Ross’s ITV1 chat show last Sunday, Seal is enjoying a near tripling of sales for Reprise/Warner Bros album Soul 2, which moves in the midweeks 68-16. There are also big sales gains for two Sony Simon & Garfunkel albums with Greatest Hits moving 33-22 on a 164% week-on-week sales lift and Bridge Over Troubled Water rising 95-57 with sales improving 414%.

 

Three further albums are showing up as brand new entries within the Top 40: Wichita Recordings’ First Aid Kit are presently 27th with The Lion’s Roar, Century Media’s Lacuna Coil 28th with Dark Adrenaline and the Ruby Works-issued Area 52 by Rodrigo Y Gabriella and Cuba 40th.

Lana #10 and will presumably be overtaken by Gotye by the weekend. What a pain, my favourite two releases of the year so far :( ALTHOUGH Lloyd's top version has dropped significantly on iTunes so you never know.

 

Pitbull at #14 has some work to do to catch up, with Labrinth at #18 he'll need to go top 10 on iTunes this afternoon to be any threat.

Yes! Born to die top 10 :D
This Flo rida song is so overrated. Meh!

Guessing by Sunday:

 

01 Cover Drive

02 Jessie J

03 Guetta / Sia

04 Flo Rida / Sia

05 Rizzle Kicks

06 Kelly Clarkson

07 Flo Rida

08 SHM / Knife Party

09 Gotye

10 Taio Cruz

 

11 Lana Del Rey

12 Lloyd

13 Pitbull

14 Avicii

15 Coldplay

There is only 3 climbers (Kelly, Goyte, Etta James) in the top 40, and Prof Green's new track. Lots of tracks falling down the chart
Guessing by Sunday:

 

01 Cover Drive

02 Jessie J

03 Guetta / Sia

04 Flo Rida / Sia

05 Rizzle Kicks

06 Kelly Clarkson

07 Flo Rida

08 SHM / Knife Party

09 Gotye

10 Taio Cruz

 

11 Lana Del Rey

12 Lloyd

13 Pitbull

14 Avicii

15 Coldplay

 

I mostly agree but SHM won't be behind Flo Rida [GF], especially with the Tommy Trash remix being reduced to 59p. I think they could be #6, or #7 if Gotye takes off a lot over the week. I also think Labrinth or Olly will be top 15 instead of Coldplay. And I think Pitbull could challenge for top 10 instead of Taio. (Basically I don't agree at all :kink:)

 

Pro Green finally in the top 40 :D #34 isn't too bad, neither of the post-album singles from 'Alive Till I'm Dead' did very well either - he seems to be like Example where he can only get big hits with pre-album releases, with post-album releases stalling in the lower half of the top 40.
