:lol: didn't know you had an Israeli alter ago as well!

60 copies is extremely close, wouldnt a joint number 1 be a great result? Would that be allowed?

I'm sure it'd be allowed, in the digital age it's easier to verify as well.

Absolutely love Coldplay, and would be happy for them to be #1 this week, but I really think it'd be brilliant for 21 to have 21 weeks at #1 :lol: Would just be so fitting for it :heehee: 60 copies between them, wow so close.

We haven't had a new #1 album yet this year, with the #1 changing between Ed, Adele, Bruno and maybe Coldplay. Hopefully next week we should see a change with Lana Del Rey, she could easily sell over 22k that's all she needs.

 

As for the singles Alyssa Reid could be a dark horse, I see the fake versions are appearing on iTunes already but saying that, the fakes can hinder her chart position. I think the #1 position is going to be between David Guetta/Sia and Flo Rida/Sia challenging for the #1 single next week, with Gotye thrown in the mix.

 

I love seeing tracks climbing to #1 after such an amount of weeks in the chart, instead of debuting at #1.

Yeah i could see Lana being #1 for a good while, untill the Brits possibly? Quite a bit of hype around her at the moment, and two singles in the top 20 on iTunes.

Sales are low too so should be easy for her.

Lana should début with 50k minimum, assuming the title track doesn't drop quickly (it's only one place below on its peak position on iTunes on Friday afternoon, which is promising for longevity) it'll keep picking up airplay as "Video Games" fades and the album should maintain enough momentum to stay at #1 for two weeks at least. Emeli Sandé and Gotye are both releasing in a fortnight though, so presumably:

 

05/02 Lana Del Rey - Born To Die 60k

12/02 Lana Del Rey - Born To Die 35k

19/02 Emeli Sandé - Our Version of Events 50k

 

The Brits are on the 21st, then if nothing gets a huge boost Bruce Springsteen will probably take it two weeks after.

BRITs on the 21st = Adele back at #1 again on the 26th :lol:

 

I agree with your #1 predictions but I think Emeli will do more than 50k (expecially if 'Next To Me' does well - it's apparently set to be top 5 on radio airplay this week which is quite rare for a pre-release track). I also don't think Lana will drop off quite so much in her second week, I can see it being quite a consistent seller like 'Video Games' (and possible the single 'Born To Die').

Brilliant to see Gotye in the top 10 today :cheer: I'm guessing Pitbull has knocked Lloyd out of the top 10 since Wednesday? I do like 'International Love', probably my favourite of his singles from this era as GME got old, so I'm glad to see it in the top 10.

 

Also great to see Guetta/Sia up to #2, Redlight still in the top 20 and 'Drunk' in the top 40 :cheer: I hope 'Drunk' ends up close to the #30 position 'Lego House' got to immediately after its video release.

 

Still insanely close between Adele and Coldplay, really impossible to call - two brilliant albums so I don't mind who gets #1. Well, I prefer 'Mylo Xyloto' so I sort of do :P But '21' will get its 21st week at #1 if it does get there which would be pretty cool too.

 

Foster The People's album has climbed since Wednesday :cheer: Please hold top 10. Great to see Drake's album looking set to climb again too, really surprised at his longevity!

 

Where are 'Earthquake' and 'Pumped Up Kicks' today please? And I assume Matt Cardle's album has now dropped out of the top 40? He could sneak back in over the new albums at the bottom end of the top 40.

 

(And by the way 'Gotye' is misspelled in the update :P)

Earthquake is a non mover and PUK #29

 

Loving the top ten at the moment, Titanium and Somebody That I Used To Know really taking off with the British public now, Sia twice in the top five and a second hit from the same era for Kelly Clarkson. I adore Twilight too and really like everything else in the top ten, save for Pitbull. Certainly it's the closest it's been to my personal taste for years :D

Thanks. Earthquake should climb this week then as it's now #8 on iTunes and increasing (plus it still has the weekend effect to come) :D Pumped Up Kicks has stopped its rapid fall on iTunes and has now stabilised in the 40s it seems, so if it's #29 now it should have no problem staying top 40 at least. I was hoping for a climb to the top 20 at the start of the week but the powers that be at iTunes finally put its price back up to 99p so it just wasn't to be :( :P

So Cover Drive, Flo Rida & Sia, Kelly Clarkson, Gotye & Kimbra and Chris Brown & Pitbull all entering the top 10 this week - what a clear out!

 

Hoping Foster the People can hold on to that top 10 album position until Sunday - even if it is incredible low sales.

Adele and Coldplay so so close, i like both so dont mind who is number 1 plus with the way sales are it really wont make a difference. At this stage im just looking forward to Coldplay passing the million sales and Adele hitting the more than impressive 4 million.
Hopefully Twilight can do 45k+. What did Jessie J do last week?

 

It'll do way more than 45k, probably over 75k.

I agree with your #1 predictions but I think Emeli will do more than 50k (expecially if 'Next To Me' does well - it's apparently set to be top 5 on radio airplay this week which is quite rare for a pre-release track).

 

When is 'Next To Me' released? I've seen the video a few times and I really like the track. I'm guessing Emeli will be performing at The Brit Awards 2012 so if she performs 'Next To Me', the combined sales (single version, Brits version) might create another big selling single benefitting from two versions charting high on iTunes.

 

I can see both Lana Del Rey and Emeli Sandé's albums going to #1 like Charlie mentioned earlier. Don't think either will have the mammoth selling power that ''21' enjoyed throughout 2011. Of the two, I'd predict 'Our Version of Events' will be the bigger selling album - possibly of the year? Difficult to tell at the moment.
