April 17, 201213 yr Linkin Park will easily go top 40 unless they're literally in the iTunes top 40 for a day before disappearing, which I don't think is very likely. It's heading for the iTunes top 10. I think it'll do at least as well as Foo Fighters' 'Rope' or Paramore's 'Monster'. I think the #1 album this week could go to any of Jason Mraz, Adele or Jessie J. I can't see the other new releases coming anywhere near (Train may go top 10) and no other old albums aside from 'Who You Are' will have a chance at overtaking '21'. If Jessie does make it this week she'd be just 5 weeks short of breaking David Gray's record for the longest top 40 run before hitting #1 for the first time.
April 17, 201213 yr Marina COULD hold onto the top 10. She's quite close to top 10 on iTunes and if she can stay steady her Live Lounge performance could send her top 10 on iTunes. I dunno, it will probably end up peaking at #11 won't it?
April 17, 201213 yr 4 Music claimed Connor Maynard was #1 today on their 'trending top 10' show which gives "a sneak peek of sales". How accurate it is is another question. :lol:

April 17, 201213 yr These are my predictions: 1. Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe 2. Connor Maynard - Can't Say No 3. John Legend - Ordinary People Up to midnight on Monday Edited April 17, 201213 yr by Stay Dench
April 17, 201213 yr Fantastic to see Marina in the top 10 in the first update, though she'll undoubtedly fall during the week when the EP boost runs out. Another nice top 10 clear out this week though, what with John Legend, Conor Maynard, B.o.B and potentially Marina all occupying a position - it'd be Flo Rida and Chris Brown out for sure, then either Sean Paul or Chris Brown; both if Marina can hold on.
April 17, 201213 yr 1. Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe 2. Connor Maynard - Can't Say No 3. John Legend - Ordinary People Up to midnight on Monday Can you please put "this is my prediction" or something at the top of these posts?

April 18, 201213 yr Author Midweek Charts: Mraz leading albums market as Legend finds new Voice Source: MW 14:41 | Wednesday April 18, 2012 By Paul Williams Jason Mraz has taken an early lead in the race to top the UK singles chart as John Legend’s Ordinary People heads for the singles top five after being covered on The Voice. Mraz’s newly-issued Atlantic album Love Is A Four Letter Word was around 2,000 sales ahead of closest rival and last Sunday’s number one 21 by XL act Adele up to the end of business on Tuesday with Nicki Minaj’s Cash Money/Island album Pink Friday – Roman Reloaded third, according to Official Charts Company Data. Mraz, whose last album We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things reached number eight in the UK, is looking to top the chart as fellow American John Legend is heading for his biggest hit yet thanks to BBC One’s The Voice. His 2005 cut Ordinary People cropped up twice on last Saturday’s programme, being performed by contestants Becky Hill and Jaz Ellington, and initially turned up on the following day’s chart at 27, the same position it peaked at in 2005. It is now up to third place in the midweeks behind Interscope/Polydor’s Carly Rae Jepsen with Call Me Maybe, which spent a second week at number one last Sunday and leads again this week, and Parlophone new priority Conor Maynard whose Can’t Say No shows up in second place. Legend will also see some albums chart action as a result of The Voice with Ordinary People’s parent album Get Lifted turning up as a re-entry at 18 in the midweeks. It originally reached number 12. Just below it in 16th place is the self-titled first album by Phonogenic’s The Script, led by The Voice’s Danny O’Donogue. It was 32nd on last Sunday’s chart. He is joined by fellow Voice coach Jessie J who holds her position of four achieved on last Sunday’s chart with the Island/Lava album Who You Are, while in the week so far Polydor act Lana Del Rey climbs 6-5 with Born To Die, Virgin’s Emeli Sande drops 5-6 with Our Version Of Events, Columbia’s Train are new at seven with California 37 as the cut Drive By is new at 17 on singles, David Guetta’s Positiva/Virgin album Nothing But The Beat is down 7-8, while Asylum/Atlantic’s Ed Sheeran is up 10-9 with + and Rough Trade’s Alabama Shakes drop 3-10 with Boys & Girls. Spiritualized’s first studio album in nearly four years, the Double Six/Domino-issued Sweet Heart Sweet Light, is at present appearing as a new entry at 11, while other new arrivals on this coming Sunday’s chart will include albums from Electric Generation’s Dragon Force, K Scope’s Anathema, Hassle’s Cancer Bats, Enzo’s Chicane and EMI’s Dr Feelgood. Jessie J is looking like scoring simultaneous top five hits on the singles and albums countdowns with the Island/Lava-issued Laserlight featuring David Guetta rising 26-5 in the midweeks, just ahead of Atlantic’s B.o.B. showing up as a new entry at six with So Good. We Are Young by Atlantic’s Fun featuring Janelle Monae climbs 7-4, while the midweek Top 10 is completed by Island’s Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye featuring Kimbra dropping 3-7, Cash Money/Island’s Nicki Minaj slipping 5-8 with Starships, Atlantic/VP’s Sean Paul falling 6-9 with She Doesn’t Mind and 679/Atlantic’s Marina & The Diamonds new at 10 with Primadonna. It is one of four Atlantic singles in the Top 10 midweeks. Like The Voice, ITV1’s Britain’s Got Talent is also having an impact on the market with 14th Floor/Atlantic’s Skinny Love by Birdy rising 85-22 after being covered on last Saturday’s programme by hopeful Paige Turley, while there are two versions currently in the Top 40 of This Woman’s Work after contestant Hope Murphy covered. Kate Bush’s original, issued by her Fish People label through EMI, moves 105-38, while Maxwell’s Sony-handled cover climbs 90-28. =============================================== Wednesday Update Top 40 Only Source: Radio 1/OCC Top 40 Singles 1 Carly Rae Jepsen 2 Conor Maynard 3 John Legend 4 fun./Janelle Monae 5 Jessie J/David Guetta Top 10 6 B.o.B 10 Marina & The Diamonds Top 20 13 Jason Mraz 14 Alex Clare 17 Train Top 30 22 Birdy 28 Maxwell Top 40 38 Kate Bush 40 Linkin' Park http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/update/singles/print =================================================== Top 40 Albums 1 Jason Mraz (2k ahead) 2 Adele 3 Nicki Minaj 4 Jessie J 5 Lana Del Rey Top 10 7 Train 9 Ed Sheeran Top 20 11 Spiritualized 13 Madonna 16 Script [script] 18 John Legend Top 30 24 Dragon Force 26 Script [s&F] Top 40 34 Anathema 36 Alex Clare 37 Cancer Bats http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/j...r-1-album-1347/
April 18, 201213 yr Linkin Park are #40 today, so they should easily get there officially even if they don't make the iTunes top 10 (currently #13). 'This Woman's Work' at #28 (Maxwell) and #38 (Kate Bush). Not sure either will be top 40 on Sunday, Kate will definitely drop out but Maxwell could go either way. Birdy back in at #22 so far - I was semi expecting to see it showing up at a new peak again. Hopefully it'll drop quite a bit by Sunday. Train at #17 - set to outpeak 'Hey, Soul Sister' then :D Marina still at #10. Really hope she can somehow hold onto the top 10. B.o.B at #6 - hope he can climb into the top 5.

April 18, 201213 yr Author LOL at all the fallers, no single has climbed yet, we should see some obvious ones in the top 15.
April 18, 201213 yr Great to see M+TD start off the top 10 and Train outpeaking Hey, Soul Sister. I don't think Marina will stay top 10 at the end of the week unfortunately :(
April 18, 201213 yr Is it just me, or have Radio 1 posted sales in brackets of most songs? e.g: Azealia Banks212 (feat. Lazy Jay) down 3 | 16 weeks in chart [9402] Edited April 18, 201213 yr by Robot Reloaded
April 18, 201213 yr Plenty of big fallers this week: 11 (04) Usher 'Climax' [7 places] 12 (02) Justin Bieber 'Boyfriend' [10 places] 18 (10) Flo Rida 'Wild Ones (feat. Sia)' [8 places] 19 (11) David Guetta 'Titanium (feat.

Rihanna)' [9 places] Surprised to see Jessie J's Domino down so much - all the Now 81-boosted tracks had it coming though.
April 18, 201213 yr These are my predictions: 1. Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe 2. Connor Maynard - Can't Say No 3. John Legend - Ordinary People Up to midnight on Monday I was right for the 2nd week in a row :lol:
April 18, 201213 yr Is it just me, or have Radio 1 posted sales in brackets of most songs? e.g: Azealia Banks212 (feat. Lazy Jay) down 3 | 16 weeks in chart [9402] It looks like they've posted any available sales. If they are correct - 'Call Me Maybe' is already on 48k - with 4 days left, she could well grab another 100k of sales this week; which is just incredible.
April 18, 201213 yr Presuming they're sales; 01 Carly Rae Jepsen [48,729] 03 John Legend [31,619] 05 Jessie J [18,152] 07 Gotye [17,279] 08 Nicki [14,416] 09 Sean [12,883] 12 Justin Bieber [12,237] 13 Jason Mraz [10,305] 14 Alex Clare [9,662] 15 Azealia Banks [9,402] 17 Train [8,964] 18 Flo Rida [8,280] 19 David Guetta/Sia [8,038] 20 Chris Brown [7,537] 21 Katy Perry [7,192] 23 The Script [6,670] 24 Emeli Sandé [6,362] 25 David Guetta/Nicki Minaj [6,276] 27 SHM [5,873] 28 Maxwell [5,501] 29 Jay Z/Kanye [4,829] 30 Rizzle Kicks [4,757] 31 Olly Murs [4,384] 32 LMFAO [sAIKI] [4,366] 33 Labrinth [4,200] 34 Breathe Carolina [4,178] 35 Kelly Clarkson [4,123] 36 Train [3,822] 37 Drake/Rihanna [3,666] 38 Kate Bush [3,656] 40 Linkin Park [3,582]
April 18, 201213 yr I was right for the 2nd week in a row :lol: To Predict the top 3 is not that hard to be honest.
