February 6, 201214 yr Author Midweek Charts: Del Rey aiming for second week at top Source: MW 15:45 | Wednesday February 8, 2012 By Paul Williams Singles In the week Paul McCartney returns to the albums chart fellow Sixties survivor Mick Jagger could be heading for his first top five singles hit since he topped the chart in 1985 with the Live Aid cut Dancing In The Street with David Bowie. He is a guest vocalist with Jennifer Lopez on the will.i.am Interscope/Polydor single T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever), which is new at three in the latest sales flashes. Just ahead of it in second place is the Island-issued Gotye featuring Kimbra single Somebody That I Used To Know, which was three on last Sunday’s chart, while David Guetta featuring Sia Positiva/Virgin single Titanium retains the top position it secured last weekend. Island/Lava’s Jessie J is still fourth with Domino, while 3 Beat/AATW’s Alone Again by Alyssa Reid featuring Jump Smokers drops 2-5. Outside the Top 10, another David Guetta cut, Turn Me On featuring Nicki Minaj, sees its sales almost quadruple on the week to move 33-13 on the midweeks, while sales of the 14th Floor/Atlantic single Skinny Love By Birdy are up 55% on the week to move 24-15. Albums Lana Del Rey has opened up a narrow lead in her pursuit to top the UK artist albums chart for a second week as David Guetta bids to continue heading singles. The Polydor-issued Born To Die, which debuted at number one last Sunday after selling 116,745 copies, was in this new chart week around 3,000 sales ahead up to the end of business on Tuesday, according to the Official Chart Company. It is facing competition from a string of new albums in the busiest week of the year so far for new releases with up to half of the Top 10 this coming Sunday to be made up of new entries. Leading that charge is the debut album from Mercury’s Maverick Sabre with Lonely Are The Brave the week so far’s second top seller and nearly 12,000 sales ahead of the Hearmusic/Mercury-handled Kisses On The Bottom, Paul McCartney’s first studio album since 2007’s Memory Almost Full. There is an even bigger gap between albums for Van Halen whose newly-issued Interscope/Polydor set A Different Kind Of Truth, which shows up as a new entry at four on the midweeks, their first offering in nearly 14 years. Competing the charge of new albums into the Top 10 positions, Play It Again Sam act Young Guns’ Bones is the ninth top seller in the week to date, while 4AD act Mark Lanegan Band’s Blues Funeral is 10th. Having debuted at two last Sunday, Columbia’s Leonard Cohen album Old Ideas is presently ranked sixth in the new chart week, a place behind Asylum/Atlantic act Ed Sheeran’s +. XL act Adele’s 21 and Island/Lava’s Jessie J with Who You Are complete the Top 10 sellers, falling 4-7 and 6-8 respectively. The busy week for new albums is also reflected outside the Top 10 with a new Parlophone Pet Shop Boys retrospective, Format – B-sides & B-sides, in 12th position, while Virgin’s Air are 19th with Le Voyage Dans La Lune. New entries on this coming Sunday’s chart are also expected from Mute’s Goldfrapp, a re-issue of the Mercury album The Crossing by Big Country and Decca’s Juan Zelada. ===================================================== Wednesday Update Top 40 Only Source: Radio 1/OCC Singles 1 David Guetta/Sia 2 Gotye/Kimbra (5k behind) N/E 3 will.i.am/Mick Jagger/Jennifer Lopez N/E 39 Lil' Wayne/Bruno Mars N/E 64 Madonna/Nicki Minaj & M.I.A. =================================================== Albums 1 Lana Del Rey (3k ahead) N/E 2 Maverick Sabre (15k ahead) N/E 3 Paul MacCartney N/E 4 Van Halen N/E 9 Young Guns N/E 10 Mark Lanegan N/E 12 Pet Shop Boys N/E 19 Air N/E 29 Goldfrapp N/E 35 Big Country N/E 37 Juan Zelada
February 6, 201214 yr Author Midweek chart: Bottom's up for McCartney Source: MW 13:11 | Friday February 10, 2012 By Paul Williams Paul McCartney looks poised for his highest-charting non-Beatles album for nearly a decade and a half with Kisses On The Bottom heading for the UK top three this weekend. The Hear Music/Mercury album has been showing up as a new entry at number three in the midweeks all week and by the end of business on Thursday had sold nearly 18,000 copies, according to the Official Charts Company. If it stays in this position by the time the full-week chart is published on Sunday it will be McCartney’s highest-charting album outside The Beatles since Flaming Pie debuted and peaked at number two in 1997. McCartney’s albums chart success is happening in the same week Mick Jagger heads for the top five of the UK singles chart for the first time since 1985, reviving memories of the Beatles versus Stones rivalry of the 1960s. Jagger’s return, more than a quarter of a century after he topped the chart with the Live Aid single Dancing In The Street with David Bowie, comes via a guestspot alongside Jennifer Lopez on will.i.am’s newly-issued T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever). The Interscope/Polydor single is a new entry at three in the week so far. Ahead of the Black Eyes Peas man’s single, Gotye is pressing David Guetta close to top the singles chart. There are fewer than 2,000 sales separating Guetta’s Positiva/Virgin single Titanium featuring Sia and the Island-issued Gotye featuring Kimbra cut Somebody That I Used To Know, which is two in the midweeks. Polydor act Lana Del Rey is very likely to secure a second week at number one on the UK artist albums chart this weekend with Born To Die, while Maverick Sabre’s debut Mercury album Lonely Are The Brave should debut at two with latest Official Charts Company figures putting it around 15,000 sales ahead of McCartney’s album. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Top 40 Only Singles 1 David Guetta/Sia (2k) 2 Gotye/Kimbra 3 will.i.am/Mick Jagger/Jennifer Lopez 4 Alyssa Reid 5 Jessie J Top 15 12 David Guetta/Nicki Minaj 14 Lana Del Rey [VG] Ed Sheeran [Drunk] Top 20 Birdy Top 30 Drake/Rihanna 27 One Direction [OT] Top 40 Ed Sheeran [LH] Rebecca Ferguson Lil' Wayne/Bruno Mars 39 Madonna One Direction [WMYB] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Albums 1 Lana Del Rey 2 Maverick Sabre (33k) 3 Paul McCartney (18k) 4 Ed Sheeran 5 Van Halen Top 15 Young Guns Mark Lanegan Top 20 16 Pet Shop Boys One Direction Black Keys Top 30 Etta James Rebecca Ferguson Air 27 Kelly Clarkson Goldfrapp Top 40 Ben Howard NO SALES INFO ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ARTIST UPDATES Singles Cover Drive 5+2 Kelly Clarkson 5+5 Pixie Lott 10+6 Olly Murs 10+7 Katy Perry 20+6 Beyonce 20+9 Rihanna/Calvin Harris 30+2 Christina Perri 30+4 Albums Adele [21] 5+1, [19] 20+5 Jessie J 5+4 David Guetta 5+5 Olly Murs 10+5 Bruno Mars 20+1 Christina Perri 30+2 Rihanna [TTT] 30+3, [Loud] 30+7 Lady Gaga 30+4 Katy Perry 30+6
February 7, 201214 yr Looking forward to seeing where Paul McCarney ends up with his first album in 4 years!
February 7, 201214 yr Ecstatic to see that the two best songs around are likely to remain ahead of will.i.am!
February 7, 201214 yr Goldfrapp and The Pet Shop Boys should both benefit with chart positions based on the low sales count. Goldfrapp could potentially make top 10 and The Pet Shop Boys Top 40, these remixes style albums usually dont chart to well for the Pet Shop Boys so it might just enter the top 40.
February 7, 201214 yr Is Madonna out this week?? Her single was out on the 3rd February but it was ineligible to chart because it was given away if you pre-ordered the album. We don't know if this week it stays ineligible or not.
February 7, 201214 yr Is Madonna out this week?? WHEN IS IT RELEASED TO BUY PHYSICALLY AS A CD??? as digitally its stalling outside top 10??????? :angry:
February 7, 201214 yr WHEN IS IT RELEASED TO BUY PHYSICALLY AS A CD??? as digitally its stalling outside top 10??????? :angry: wow - expected a #1
February 7, 201214 yr Author Are Young Guns really #6 in the album charts? That's an epic achievement. Seems so, on their twitter page So we're currently no.6 in the album mid weeks. Help us keep it in the charts and pick up a copy if you haven't already! http://twitter.com/younggunsuk
February 7, 201214 yr Author Madonna's single is now chart eligible, its sales will be counted from today towards the chart. Robbie on Haven confirmed by OCC === Lana Del Rey #1, Maverick Sabre #2 in the Album chart, according to Maverick Sabre interview on Radio 1 Live Lounge
February 7, 201214 yr Madonna is no123 on itunes so doesnt look like it will bother the charts too much this week.
February 7, 201214 yr Ecstatic to see that the two best songs around are likely to remain ahead of will.i.am! Indeed he seems to have left the single too long....same with dj fresh and emeli sande for next week imo!
February 7, 201214 yr Madonna is no123 on itunes so doesnt look like it will bother the charts too much this week. That's because it was deleted at midnight and re-added at the same time, which means that its only just starting its natural climb back up the charts. She will suffer though from lack on Sunday and Monday sales, particularly Sunday. So whatever iTunes position it averages at close Tuesday, close Wednesday, close Thursday, close Friday and close Saturday can probably be multiplied by 1.5-2 to get it official chart position this week.
February 7, 201214 yr Goldfrapp and The Pet Shop Boys should both benefit with chart positions based on the low sales count. Goldfrapp could potentially make top 10 and The Pet Shop Boys Top 40, these remixes style albums usually dont chart to well for the Pet Shop Boys so it might just enter the top 40. Both are regular collections though, the latter (a fabulous album by the way) is a collection of B-sides. I expect PSB to debut higher than Goldfrapp, just because of their loyal fanbase, but Goldfrapp will have better longevity. I'd be stunned if Macca doesn't go top 2. So many old acts debuting on albums chart this week.. the ones I mentioned and Van Halen + Therapy? Edited February 7, 201214 yr by SKOB
