Big drop for Madonna this week.

Electra Heart is doing horribly after that week at #1... outsold by Eric Prydz!

 

New single, promo performance... ANYTHING and pronto!

 

Also, mega OUCH at Garbage although there was nothing to save the album from plummeting anyway.

 

Very impressed by John Mayer. Must be his best sales week to date as well

 

 

 

Many disapointments this week in the album chart

 

Garbage

Madonna

Marina and the Diamonds (again)

 

I wonder if ∆ is the first charting act with no letters, numbers or punctuation in their name? (Appears as 'Alt-J' on the OCC website, but their actual name is ∆).

 

 

It is a letter, albeit a Greek one!

 

Prince was known by just a symbol for a period, and the artist listed in the books as "Freur" were also only known by some sort of squiggle (the word being how they said they pronounced it)

 

 

Strangly, Kylie's Timebomb isn't in the Top 40 Download Chart... :wacko:

I might actually dance with joy...after 135 weeks, Michael Buble's Crazy Love has fallen out of the Top 100! :w00t: :cheer:

Slightly delayed due to downtime.

Bit of a bad week for long running albums - both Crazy Love and Sigh No More dropping out of the top 100 for the first time ever :o And also '4' and 'Echoes', which have both been around a while but nowhere near as long as the former two.
