April 4, 201214 yr According to Alex Day Twitter (posted 3 hours ago): Also, spoke to the official UK chart company - we're number 9 in the charts and only three hundred sales behind number 8! :o Wherever it debuts, it'll be out of the top 100 next week for sure. Amusing though I guess to think the #9 song in the midweeks is at #84 on the iTunes chart - I expect it'll tumble to the edge of the top 30 come Sunday (#28 is my prediction). 84.

April 4, 201214 yr Author Midweek Charts: Minaj in Pink with likely first UK chart-topper Source: MW 14:44 | Wednesday April 4, 2012 By Paul Williams Nicki Minaj is set to debut at the top of the UK artist albums chart this Sunday as one-time Canadian Idol contestant Carly Rae Jepsen heads to number one on singles. Minaj’s second Cash Money/Island album Pink Friday – Roman Reloaded heads a charge of four brand new albums leading the Official Charts Company’s Sales Flashes with Syco act Labrinth’s Electronic Earth currently in runner-up position, Sony’s Moshi Monsters album Music Rox third and Epic at Lostphrophets fourth with Weapon. The Minaj album had sold nearly 27,000 copies up to the end of business on Tuesday, a lead of more than 9,000 copies over Labrinth’s debut album, with Moshi Monsters and Lostphrophets both a few further thousand sales behind. Minaj’s first album Pink Friday peaked at 16 and has sold around 280,000 copies in the UK. While Minaj will likely top the artists albums chart this Sunday, she will not have the week’s biggest-selling album overall. That accolade will belong to EMI TV and UMTV’s newly-released Now! 81, which had sold 109,314 copies up to the end of Tuesday, four times as many copies as Minaj’s album. Minaj’s albums success comes as her single Starships heads for another week in the top five, presently standing in third place, the position it was on last Sunday’s chart. Ahead of it is Atlantic/VP act Sean Paul’s She Doesn’t Mind in second place and at number one the newly-issued Call Me Maybe by Interscope/Polydor’s Carly Jae Jepsen who finished third in the fifth season of Canadian Idol in 2007. The track has already reached number one in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The wave of new albums heading the market means last week’s leading pack are likely to face steep falls down the chart this weekend. They include Madonna’s Interscope/Polydor album MDNA, which debuted at one last Sunday but is the fifth biggest seller in the new chart week to date, while the runner-up then Nothing But The Beat by Positiva/Virgin’s David Guetta is now down to six and third-placed Our Version Of Events by Virgin act Emeli Sande seventh. Adele’s XL album 21 slips 4-8, Island/Lava’s Jessie J with Who You Are 5-9 and Asylum/Atlantic’s Ed Sheeran 8-10 with +. Besides the four new albums currently occupying the top four positions, there are another eight new releases showing up within the midweek Top 40. They take in new sets from Orbital through ACP Recordings, Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson with the EMI-issued Thick As A Brick 2, Parlophone’s Graham Coxon, Spinefarm’s Killing Joke, 14th Floor’s All the Young, Atlantic/VP’s Sean Paul, Hollywood/Polydor’s Demi Lovato and the Osmonds through their own Osmonds Entertainment label. Back on singles and, having topped the UK singles chart for the first time last weekend, RCA’s Chris Brown is now fighting to hold onto his place in the top five. Turn Up The Music is the week so far’s fifth top single, around 4,000 sales behind Island’s Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye featuring Kimbra in fourth place and about 1,700 sales ahead of the Virgin-issued Part Of Me by Katy Perry in sixth position. Currently just outside the Top 10 positions is Alex Day, formerly a member of the band’s Chameleon Circuit and Sons of Admirals and with a reported 500,000 followers of his own YouTube channel. His newly-issued single Lady Godiva on the Blurose label is the week to date’s 11th biggest single. =================================================== Wednesday Update Top 40 Only Source: Radio 1/OCC Top 40 Singles 1 Carly Rae Jepsen 2 Sean Paul 3 Nicki Minaj 4 Gotye/Kimbra 5 Chris Brown (4k behind Gotye / 1.7 ahead of Katy) 9 Emeli Sande 11 Alex Day 12 Olly Murs [OMG] 18 Script 19 Rizzle Kicks 20 Labrinth [Earthquake] 26 Kelly Clarkson 30 Olly Murs [DWMT] 31 Vaccines 34 Coldplay [Paradise] 37 Flo Rida [GF] http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/update/singles/print =================================================== Top 40 Albums 1 Nicki Minaj (27k) 2 Labrinth (18k) 3 Moshi Monsters 4 Lostphrophets 5 Madonna 11 Orbital 13 Gotye 16 Ian Anderson 19 Michael Bolton 22 Graham Coxon 26 Script [script] 29 Killing Joke 32 All The Young 35 Sean Paul 36 Demi Lovato 38 Osmonds http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/update/albums/print
April 4, 201214 yr What's the hype behind Carly Rae Jepsen? Is this an Alyssa Reid 2.0? I find the song very run of the mill and not something that would normally set the charts on fire, especially by a newcomer, unless there's a story behind it.
April 4, 201214 yr OCC say that Moshi Monsters is CLIMBING! :o Not surprised at all - like I said, Moshi Monsters were always going to hold up far better than Lostprophets. Just look at how well Justin Fletcher's album is holding up so far. I didn't expect them to be #3 until the Friday mids but 300 copies isn't really that much to make up.

April 4, 201214 yr Great to see The Script at #18 :cheer: (Shame it's with one of their weakest singles though) I wonder where Madonna is in the album chart. Should give an indication on how it's going to fare in the near future. Edited April 4, 201214 yr by HausofKubrick
