Well I was at the Saturdays signing in HMV Glasgow yesterday (they are all seriously gorgeous up close).

 

And I was roughly half way up the queue, and we were given raffle tickets so no body could skip. and my friend and I were given 471 and 472. There was easily 1,000 people there. So they might have made their sales up yesterday.

 

I was shocked how many people were they. Quite miffed actually as it took 2 1/2 hours of queuing. lol

Why wouldn't truly be that high? Physicals, pre orders, eps? And you've failed in an attempt to be funny, you look like an utter twat.

I wasn't trying to be funny, i just can't see how they would be at number 2. There's no need to call me a twat because of that.

If you are going to continue with the flying insults I suggest to use the PM system, other members/people do not not want to read it. Thank you. End of.

He's the one who insulted me calling me a twat just because i find it hard to believe that The Saturdays are number 2.

Rochelle from SATURDAYS tweeted "Team Sats are smashing the midweek. Keep downloading 30DAYS."

Yeah, David Burke (Alexandra Burke's brother) replied to her tweet..

 

David Burke ‏ @MrDavidBurke

@RochelleTheSats approx 4k off #1 but Carly close behind at #3 ...I hope you get the top spot xx

 

Surprised they're still 1+1 (if he's right of course). They'll end up at #6 or #7 officially come Sunday I think though now they've no physical sales etc to rely on. Should have done some more signings other than just Glasgow to have more chance of keeping in the top 3 or top 5!

The Sats still #2, 4k off the top spot. Carly close behind though apparently so they're likely to drop sooner rather than later. Good old twitter :)

Only Love by Ben Howard being played on radio 1 now which may suggest its NOT top 40 YET this week unless they play it twice in an hour?!

Midweek Charts: Tenacious D head tight battle to top UK albums chart

By Paul Williams

 

 

Jack Black’s band Tenacious D lead a very open race to top the UK artist albums chart this weekend with releases by Keane, Ren Harvieu and Emeli Sande all within touching distance.

 

The group’s Columbia-issued album Rize Of the Fenix was just a few hundred sales in front at the close of business on Tuesday, according to the Official Charts Company, with Keane’s Strangeland dropping 1-2 and fellow Island act Ren Harvieu’s debut album Through The Night around 1,000 sales behind as a new entry in third position.

 

Although only in fourth position in the latest midweeks, having been runner-up on last Sunday’s chart, Virgin act Emeli Sande is also in contention with Our Version Of Events. It is about 3,000 sales behind Tenacious D at present and is joined in the top five in fifth place by Garbage’s first studio album since 2005’s Bleed Like Me. Not Your Kind Of People, released on their own Stun Volume label through Cooperative, looks like keeping up their 100% Top 10 run achieved by their four three previous studio sets.

 

XL’s Adele album 21 drops 4-6 at this stage of the week, while Bella Union-handled Baltimore band Beach House will achieve their first ever UK Top 75 hit with fourth album Bloom, which is currently ranked as a new entry at seven.

 

Sales of RCA act Rebecca Ferguson’s album Heaven are up 43.9% on the week following her performance on Britain’s Got Talent, although it drops 6-8, while Asylum/Atlantic’s Ed Sheeran climbs 11-9 with + and Island artist Gotye slips 8-10 with Making Mirrors.

 

Another Island album, Ben Howard’s Every Kingdom, enjoys a 58% week-on-week sales lift to progress 21-11 as the cut Only Love moves 80-38 on the singles midweeks, while Epic’s latest Glee Cast album Glee – The Music – The Graduation Album crops up as a new entry at 15.

 

Other albums set to debut in the chart this Sunday include former A-ha frontman Morten Harket’s Wrasse-issued solo set Out Of My Hands, a Decca best of from UK Eurovision hopeful Engelbert Humperdinck, plus releases from Columbia’s Gossip and Santana and Mercury’s Niki & The Dove.

 

Columbia/Roc Nation’s Rita Ora is likely to spend a second week leading the singles chart with R.I.P. featuring Tinie Tempah, while there are only around 1,300 sales separating the four tracks behind it. Polydor act the Saturdays’ newly-issued 30 Days is presently placed second, Interscope/Polydor’s former number one Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen holds at three and Fun featuring Janelle Monae’s Atlantic/Fueled By Ramen-issued We Are Young moves back up 5-4 to swap places with Island act Alex Clare’s Too Close in fifth place.

 

There are two other new releases showing up among the Top 10 positions at this stage of the week with Mercury act D’Banj’s Oliver Twist ninth and Polydor’s Scissor Sisters 10th with Only The Horses, which they performed on last Sunday’s The Voice results show. Def Jam/Mercury’s Rihanna with Where Have You Been and Columbia’s Train with Drive By complete the latest midweeks Top 10, moving 8-7 and 6-8 respectively.

 

Syco act Labrinth’s Express Yourself moves 34-16 following his semi-final performance on Britain’s Got Talent, while EMI’s US country act Rascal Flatts are heading for their first-ever UK hit after their track Bless The Broken Road was covered by contestant Sam Kelly in the ITV1 show’s final last Saturday. Placed 76th on last Sunday’s chart thanks to buying immediately after the show aired, it now climbs to 20 on the midweeks.

 

Skepta’s Make Peace Not War, issued through 3 Beat/AATW/Boy Better Know, will debut in the Top 40 on Sunday, but Madonna’s new Interscope/Polydor single Girl Gone Wild could miss it as it is currently new at 49 on the midweeks.

So only love is in!!

ben howard top 40. awesome!

if the sats do somehow manage to stay at number 2 all week rochelle and frankie will take the joint record they currently hold with sash for most #2's without a number 1

Wow, this Saturdays song is dire. Talk about missing the bandwagon by twelve months.

 

"R.I.P." isn't bad and it's nice to have another two-weeker at the top but fun. next week, please.

Greg James confirmed it is VERY CLOSE between the top 5 this week :o

 

At least Sunday should be interesting....

I'm assuming by Sunday it'll be:

 

01 Rita Ora

02 fun.

03 Carly Rae Jepsen

04 Alex Clare

05 Saturdays

 

Now hold on for Tenacious D on the albums.

Come on Mr Howard. Galvanise the troops. He needs a top 40.

How are The Saturdays at #2? :lol: Is the EP boosting them that much? Does this mean that they're likely to be top 5 in the chart on Sunday?

First post has been updated with positions...

Let's all forget for a few seconds that The Sats are #2 and cheer for D'banj going top 10 when I had my doubts about it. Also great to see that Make Peace Not War will outpeak Hold On as it's much better :D And another yes for Skrillex finally going top 40 with 'Bangarang'. I'm not happy that Ben Howard is about to get a top 40 hit, he is the even duller version of Ed Sheeran :drama:
