April 24, 201214 yr Who was the last artist to have 3 consecutive singles peak at #2? I'm pretty sure Kylie and/or Madonna have done this but can't think of anyone else. . S Club Juniours did back in the day :D Edited April 24, 201214 yr by ElectroBoy
April 24, 201214 yr Haven't heard Calvin's song, but hope he can knock that garbage from number one. That song is harder to get rid of than chlamydia, which is also probably less painful. Edited April 24, 201214 yr by simplyobsessed
April 24, 201214 yr I doubt Calvin Harris will stay at no1 by the end of the week. Its the weakest of his three singles from his forthcoming album and the last two stalled at number two (I think both may have be no1 midweek as well). Carly is no1 on itunes still as well.
April 24, 201214 yr Id love Feeder to hold up but think they will slip to low top 10, hopefully no lower though. I hope Calvin Harris stays number 1 in the singles but cant see it happening.
April 25, 201214 yr Does anyone think that "We are Young" will eventually get to No.1? A couple of weeks ago I thought it was a dead cert, now I'm not so sure! :( I never thought it would get to #1... Good to see Calvin #1 at this stage I guess although it'll definitely fall to #2 by the end of the week I think :( I'm astonished that it's even *reached* #1 - he hasn't even gotten close to Carly on iTunes. :o Haven't heard Calvin's song, but hope he can knock that garbage from number one. That song is harder to get rid of than chlamydia, which is also probably less painful. What, no 'drama' smiley? :rolleyes:
April 25, 201214 yr Alex Clare will presumably be around #9/10 at the moment, would be amazing if he could manage a top ten place! Let's hope Radio 1 cocks up again with some sales info :D Didn't they put up an album chart from 2010 on their site last week? What'll they do this week, put up a singles chart from November 2008?! :P Edited April 25, 201214 yr by SevenSeize
April 25, 201214 yr Midweek Charts: XL's White set to earn chart stripes Source: MW Wednesday April 25, 2012 By Paul Williams Jack White is poised to make a perfect start with his solo career with his introductory Blunderbuss heading straight to number one in the UK this coming Sunday. The XL album was outselling its nearest competitor, fellow new release Out Of The Games by Polydor’s Rufus Wainwright, by around 13,500 copies up to the end of business on Tuesday with another XL offering – Adele’s 21 – in third place. White previously topped the artist albums chart as half of the White Stripes with Elephant in 2003 and then with Icky Thump in 2007. Wainwright’s current midweek position of two equals his present highest chart placing in the UK achieved by Release The Stars in 2007 and is a significant improvement on his last album All Days Are Nights: Songs For Lulu, which debuted and peaked at 21 in 2010. However, the Adele album, which returned to number one for a 23rd week last Sunday, is only a few hundred sales behind and has every chance of overtaking Wainwright’s release. Polydor act Lana Del Rey is holding her position of four achieved last weekend with Born To Die, while Rock band Feeder are heading back to the Top 10 for the first time since 2008 with their new album Generation Freakshow, released on the Big Teeth label, showing up as a new entry at five in the latest midweeks. Just behind it, Cash Money/Island’s Nicki Minaj drops 3-6 as Epic artist Olly Murs is set to climb back into the Top 10 with In Case You Didn’t Know moving 12-7 at this stage of the week. Atlantic artist Jason Mraz slips 2-8 with Love Is A Four Letter Word having narrowly missed out on debuting at number one last weekend, while Virgin artist Emeli Sande drops 6-9 with Our Version Of Events and Jessie J’s Island/Lava debut Who You Are falls 5-9. Outside the Top 10 The Script’s self-titled Phonogenic debut is continuing to benefit from frontman Danny O’Donoghue’s exposure on The Voice as it climbs 21-14 in the current Sales Flashes. Also making good ground is Island artist Alex Clare whose album The Lateness Of the Hour’s sales are up 22% on the week to lift it 36-26. He also looks set to move into the Top 10 of the singles chart with Too Close on midweek sales progressing 16-9. Among the chart entries expected to this weekend’s chart will be the re-appearance of two former number ones. Abba’s final studio album The Visitors, which hit the top in 1981, appears as a new entry at 32, while fellow Polydor-handled T .Rex album Electric Warrior, which was a 1971 chart-topper, is currently back in at 37. Also due to enter the chart this coming Sunday are albums from Atlantic’s Santigold, Decca’s Julian Ovenden, N2’s Nina Nesbitt and The Chieftains through Concord/Decca. There were just 288 sales up to the end of Tuesday separating Calvin Harris’s brand new track and Interscope/Polydor act Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe at the top of the singles market. Harris’s Columbia-issued Let’s Go featuring Ne-Yo is just ahead as the Scottish DJ/artist looks for a second UK number one, but Call Me Maybe could well overtake it and score a fourth week at number one. The Atlantic/Fueled By Ramen-issued We Are Young by fun featuring Janelle Monae holds at three at this point of this week as Parlophone’s Conor Maynard drops to four with Can’t Say No having debuted at two last Sunday. Island/Lava’s Jessie J featuring David Guetta remains at five with Laserlight, as Island’s Gotye featuring Kimbra with Somebody That I Used To Know holds at six, Atlantic act B.o.B’s So Good at seven and Cash Money/Island’s Nicki Minaj with Starships at eight. With Alex Clare in ninth place, Sony’s John Legend single Ordinary People completes the Top 10, dropping 4-10, having moved into the Top 10 last weekend after being covered on The Voice. The BBC One programme is this week having a positive effect on a selection of other oldies featured in the show, led by Stereophonics’ V2/Universal-issued Dakota returning at 18, the Mercury-handled With Or Without You by U2 progressing 114-35, Columbia act Kings Of Leon up 60-37 with Use Somebody, the RCA-issued Beggin’ by Madcon climbing 189-38 and Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris’s 2011 Def Jam/Mercury chart-topper We Found Love lifting 52-41.Other Voice songs set to return to the Top 75 include Maverick/Warner Bros’s Ironic by Alanis Morissette and the Polydor-issued Broken Strings by James Morrison featuring Nelly Furtado. ======================================== Wednesday Update Top 40 Only Source: Radio 1/OCC Top 40 Singles 1 Calvin Harris (288 copies ahead) 2 Carly Rae Jepsen 3 fun./Janelle Monae 4 Conor Maynard 5 Jessie J/David Guetta 6-10 9 Alex Clare 11-20 12 Train 13 Azealia/Lazy J 17 Flo Rida/Sia 18 Stereophonics [Dakota] :wub: 21-30 23 Script 27 Olly Murs 30 Drake 31-40 35 U2 [WOWY] 36 The Fray [HTSAL] 37 Kings Of Leon [uS] 38 Madcon [beggin'] http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/update/singles/print http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/c...ns-number-1362/ =================================================== Top 40 Albums 1 Jack White (13.5k ahead) 2 Rufus Wainwright 3 Adele 4 Lana Del Rey 5 Feeder 6-10 7 Olly Murs 11-20 14 Script 18 Santigold 19 Colplay 21-30 21 Script [s&F] 23 Rizzle Kicks 24 Stereophonics 26 Alex Clare 31-40 32 ABBA 36 Julian Ovenden 37 T-Rex 39 The Chieftains http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/update/albums/print http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/j...underbuss-1361/
April 25, 201214 yr 1 NE (Calvin Harris) 5 RE (Kings of Leon, Stereophonics, The Fray, Rihanna, Madcon) ^ Guessing Rihanna is the remaining re-entry, unless it's Alexa Goddard instead - but urgh. Edited April 25, 201214 yr by SLlewellyn
April 25, 201214 yr 1 NE (Calvin Harris) 5 RE (Kings of Leon, Stereophonics, The Fray, Rihanna, Madcon) ^ Guessing Rihanna is the remaining re-entry, unless it's Alexa Goddard instead - but urgh. u2
April 25, 201214 yr 1 NE (Calvin Harris) 5 RE (Kings of Leon, Stereophonics, The Fray, Rihanna, Madcon) ^ Guessing Rihanna is the remaining re-entry, unless it's Alexa Goddard instead - but urgh. It's U2, not Rihanna (although I'm surprised it isn't both - I would have guessed the re-entries to be KOL, Stereophonics, U2, The Fray and Rihanna, with no Madcon). U2 and Madcon will both most likely drop out by Sunday but the other three should stay in (there may be an element of wishful thinking there though). I see Greg attributed The Fray's re-entry to The Voice - let's really hope Reggie doesn't make the same blunder seeing as it's his show! Edited April 25, 201214 yr by B.r.É
April 25, 201214 yr It looks like all is down on the chart update regardless if it is a New Entry Up or staying Put.
April 25, 201214 yr Bloody hell, Stereophonics at #18 - I thought they could maybe be around the #22 mark at best :o I underestimated the power of five versions top 300 clearly! It'd be fantastic if it could somehow hold onto the top 20 :wub: One of my favourite songs ever.
April 25, 201214 yr Haven't heard Calvin's song, but hope he can knock that garbage from number one. That song is harder to get rid of than chlamydia, which is also probably less painful. Your Mean :cry:
April 25, 201214 yr Makes a change seeing some Indie music in the chart, love it. Dakota my favourite Stereophonics track
April 25, 201214 yr Out 34. Train - Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me) [2 weeks]* 35. Labrinth - Last Time [5 weeks] 38. Plan B - ill Manors [4 weeks] 39. Breathe Carolina - Blackout [2 weeks] 40. DJ Fresh - Hot Right Now (feat. Rita Ora) [10 weeks] * Since re-entering With Madcon and U2 likely to drop out of the chart officially by Sunday, I reckon Train are a likely contender to climb back in + perhaps Alexa Goddard (#33 on iTunes) or hopefully Lana Del Rey's 'Blue Jeans'.
April 25, 201214 yr Alex Clare at #9 :cheer: Another day at #1 for Calvin as well :D Also great to see climbs for Train, Azealia Banks, The Script, Olly Murs (random) and Drake + Sway staying top 20 :D Edited April 25, 201214 yr by B.r.É
April 25, 201214 yr Really think Calvin could sell around 95k unless Carley has freefalled below 100k sales all of a sudden this week!! :D
April 25, 201214 yr Pretty decent top 10 all in all - teen pop (Carly Rae Jepsen, Conor Maynard) and electro-hop (Calvin Harris and Nicki Minaj) both done surprisingly well along with some brilliant quasi-indie (Gotye, fun.) and a couple of very different R&B tracks (John Legend, B.o.B) and Alex Clare is a welcome addition. Jessie J wouldn't usually be the weakest one in there but I've not warmed to "LaserLight" at all, seems very lazy.
