May 7, 201214 yr Author UK Midweeks: Keane ready to high five UK albums chart Source: MW 16:20 | Wednesday May 9, 2012 By Paul Williams Keane are poised to achieve the rare chart feat of five UK number ones with their first five albums as newly-issued Strangeland heads to the top this weekend. The Island album was outselling its nearest challenger by nearly three copies to one by the end of business on Tuesday, according to the Official Charts Company, setting it up nicely to follow the group’s four previous studio albums Hope And Fears (2004), Under The Iron Sea (2006) and Perfect Symmetry (2008) plus EP Night Train (2010) to the top of the chart. If Strangeland does make it to number one Keane will emulate a feat previously achieved by only a handful of acts with The Beatles, Oasis, Robbie Williams and Coldplay all reaching number one with their first five albums. Behind Keane, Richard Hawley looks like securing his highest chart position yet with fellow new release Standing At The Sky’s Edge – his first on Parlophone – which is the week so far’s second-biggest studio album. His current best chart showing is six, achieved by Lady’s Bridge in 2007. Following an appearance on the results show of BBC One’s The Voice last Sunday, Emeli Sande has seen sales of her Virgin album Our Version Of Events leap 137% on the week. It moves the album up 8-3 in the latest midweeks as sales of the track she performed, My Kind Of Love, rise 711% to lift it 143-24 in the midweeks. XL act Adele’s 21 climbs 5-4 and Wichita’s The Cribs are showing up as a new entry at five with In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull. Having benefited herself from an appearance on The Voice a week ago, Polydor’s Lana Del Rey now tumbles 2-6 with Born To Die as sales drop 45% on the week. And making an even sharper fall is 679/Atlantic’s Marina & The Diamonds’ whose Electra Heart is the week to date’s seventh top seller, having debuted at one last Sunday. It sales are 66% down on the week. Another one-time chart-topper, XL act Jack White’s Blunderbuss, drops 3-9, while ahead of it Global Talent/Polydor’s follow their UK Top 10 hits Lick Ya Down, Twilight and Sparks with first album Bajan Style registering as a new entry at seven in the midweeks. Having achieved their second UK Top 10 single with Drive By, Columbia’s Train round off the midweek Top 10 with album California 37 leaping 25-10 as sales rise 142%. EPS 1988-1991 leads a series of My Bloody Valentine re-issues from Sony into the midweeks as it shows up as a new entry at 22. Their classic second album Loveless is at 34 in the current midweeks and debut Isn’t Anything number 50, having both originally been issued by Creation Records. Also heading to the Top 75 this Sunday are new entries from Roadrunner’s Storm Corrosion, Island’s King Charles, Cooking Vinyl’s Proclaimers and Parlophone’s Damon Albarn. Meanwhile, Rita Ora is on course for her second UK singles chart-topper this year and the first as the main act with R.I.P. featuring Tinie Tempah outselling its closest rival by 88% up to the close of trading on Tuesday. The newly-issued Columbia/Roc Nation single follows Ora reaching number one in February as the featured artist on Ministry of Sound act DJ Fresh’s Hot Right Now. After debuting at number one last Sunday, Tulisa’s AATW/Island single Young slips to two on the midweeks with a 52% fall in sales as Island act Alex Clare’s Too Close rises 5-3, Interscope/Polydor’s Carly Rae Jepsen drops 2-4 with Call Me Maybe and the Atlantic/Fueled By Ramen single We Are Young by fun. featuring Janelle Monae declines 3-5. As sales of their album rapidly increase, Train’s Columbia single Drive By also continues to progress with sales up 22% to move it 7-6. Behind it, an Interscope/Polydor pairing of Far East Movement and Justin Bieber appears as a new entry at seven with Live My Life, while a trio of Island singles completes the Top 10. Laserlight by Jessie J featuring David Guetta holds its position of eight, Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye featuring Kimbra climbs 10-9 to reverse positions with Starships by Nicki Minaj. The Voice continues to influence retail with Temple Trap’s Sweet Disposition among the latest oldies to benefit from being covered on the talent show. The Infectious-issued track rises 53-15 on the midweeks after being covered by contestant David Julien on last Saturday’s show, while Kate Bush’s EMI-issued Running Up That Hill improves 115-33 following contestant Bo Bruce’s cover and Tom Petty’s Free Fallin’ could be heading for its highest UK peak yet after Voice hopeful Max Milner covered it. Having originally reached 64 in 1989, it rises 128-38 in the midweeks. =================================================== Wednesday Update Top 40 Only Source: Radio 1/OCC Top 40 Singles 1 Rita Ora/Tine Tempah 2 Tulisa 3 Alex Clare 4 Carly Rae Jepsen 5 fun./Janelle Monae 6-10 7 Far East Movement/Justin Bieber (New) 11-20 15 Temper Trap (Re Entry) 21-30 23 Train (UP) 24 Emeli Sande (New) 31-40 31 LMFAO (Up) 33 Kate Bush (Re Entry) 37 Matrix + Futurebound (New) 38 Tom Petty (New) 39 Coldplay (Re Entry) http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/update/singles/print http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/r...les-chart-1384/ =================================================== Top 40 Albums 1 Keane 2 Richard Hawley 3 Emeli Sande 4 Adele 5 The Cribs 6-10 6 Cover Drive 10 Train 11-20 13 Gotye 14 Alex Clare 15 Rizzle Kicks 18 Rihanna 20 Coldplay 21-30 22 My Bloody Valentine 23 The Proclaimers 24 B.o.B 25 Storm Corrosion 26 King Charles 31-40 32 Damon Albarn 34 My Bloody Valentine [Loveless] http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/update/albums/print http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/k...-number-1-1383/
May 7, 201214 yr Author Midweek Charts update: BBC show gives new Voice to Sande album 10:42 | Friday May 11, 2012 By Paul Williams Weekly sales of Emeli Sande’s Our Version Of Events have more than doubled following her appearance on The Voice as she looks to claim runners-up spot on this coming weekend’s UK artist albums chart. The Virgin album was experiencing a week-on-week sales rise of 107% up to the end of business on Thursday, according to the Official Charts Company, to sit at two on the midweeks with Keane’s newly-issued Island album Strangeland a long distance ahead in first place. The rise in sales of the album, which was in eighth place on last week’s chart, appears to be a direct consequence of Sande performing My Kind Of Love on the BBC One programme’s results show last Sunday. The track itself has also experienced a big leap in sales, rising 659% on the week to move it 143-25 on the latest midweeks. Richard Hawley’s new Parlophone album Standing At The Sky’s Edge is currently appearing as a new entry at three with XL’s Adele album 21 rising 5-4 and Wichita act The Cribs new at five with In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull. Global Talent/Polydor’s Cover Drive complete the new arrivals at seven with Bajan Style. Rita Ora featuring Tinie Tempah’s Columbia/Roc Nation R.I.P. has already sold more than 80,000 copies on its way to debuting at one on the UK singles chart with AATW/Island’s Tulisa dropping 1-2 with Young and Island act Alex Clare moving up 5-3 with Too Close. The Interscope/Polydor track Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen drops 2-4 in the latest Sales Flashes as the Atlantic/Fueled By Ramen-issued We Are Young by fun. featuring Janelle Monae slips 3-5.

May 8, 201214 yr I hope B.O.B gets a top ten album this time. Outrage that his first album (which is seriously fantastic, one of the most interesting and diverse albums i've ever heard) only went to #17 here. Also hoping for Cover Drive to debut in the top five!
May 8, 201214 yr Also hoping for Cover Drive to debut in the top five! I don't see how they won't to be honest, with sales being how they are and a lack of competition aside from Keane... I'd say they're in with a shout of #1, heaven forbid.
May 8, 201214 yr Author I wonder if Keane and Rita Ora are trending twitter, goes and checks to see if there is any chart info. Usually if you find the major releases that are releasing songs for the week, bits of info gets found on twitter.
May 8, 201214 yr Keane at #1 on Sunday would be very impressive. That'd be 5/5 releases... All they've got these days is fanbase.
May 8, 201214 yr Hoping B.o.B can be #2 in today's update, sales will be so close that even The Cribs are likely to drop out of the top 10 by Sunday.
May 8, 201214 yr B.o.B is only low top 10 on iTunes and you'd think he'd be more of a download seller than, say, Richard Hawley who I think is most likely to be #2 out of the new releases. To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if 'Strange Clouds' fails to even outpeak his debut. I hope I'm wrong about that though. Good good to see Keane at #1 as expected - not my favourite band ever but just so it continues their streak of #1 debuts (unless it falls from #1 of course). This'll equal them with Coldplay again for strings of #1 debuts since their first album, ignoring Coldplay's irregular releases 'Live 2003' and 'Prospekt's March'. Although I suppose 'Night Train' was arguably an irregular release itself - for the purposes of this paragraph I'm considering that to be their fourth proper release :P
May 8, 201214 yr Keane at #1 on Sunday would be very impressive. That'd be 5/5 releases... All they've got these days is fanbase. Yes, but they won't need to sell a lot to make no1 at the moment and it probably won't sell loads anyway given the poor performance of the first single.
May 8, 201214 yr I really want Keane to to be number 1 on sunday and make it 5 out 5 number 1 albums, there last album was more of an ep than an album but overall there albums have sold reasonably well its just they are less of a singles band than they used to be.
May 8, 201214 yr Yes, but they won't need to sell a lot to make no1 at the moment and it probably won't sell loads anyway given the poor performance of the first single. Its still a number 1 though at the end of the day...the single didnt perform well imo because radio 1 dropped them and radio 2 have taken on their new songs now...its a pity but it means they will become even more of an album band!
May 9, 201214 yr Rhianna will be number 10 or 11 on the chart update. Doubtful - we'll have Rita Ora at #1, Far East Movement at #9/10 - pushing out Gotye and Calvin Harris (at #11 and #12 respectively). Minaj will still be holding her place inside the top 10 (wouldn't surprise me if she'd climbed to #8). Depending on whether Marina's multiple versions are still giving her a boost, I'd imagine Rihanna will show up at #14/15 in the first update - possibly climbing into the top 10 come Sunday if she can climb a bit more on iTunes, or if Cover Drive can take a nice tumble.
