Very few people will buy all editions. I'm a super fan and I'm only buying one (the super deluxe edition).

Looking at the sales of the past few weeks, I really don't see her selling much more than 40-50k, end of June is really not a good time for sales.

As long as she is number 1, I will be over the moon.

 

Yea I'm just being hopeful! My crazy Cheryl fan self just wants her to sell loads and is deluding me. But you are probably right. We can't expect the 100,000+ her last albums have sold during opening week :(

Checking the midweeks, @CherylCole killing it this week! Smashing it! Biggest single of the year so far?? I think so! Congrats Chezza! Marv

 

And why is Marv checking the mids? They have not had a single out for ages and their recent efforts only last 3 weeks in the charts anyway :lol:

Amazing for Cheryl.

 

But poor Alexandra Burke. RCA/SONY seriously need to sort something out.

 

They need to take her to america. Or do a european tour.

 

I really want a 3rd single. But god know's where it would chart.

And why is Marv checking the mids? They have not had a single out for ages and their recent efforts only last 3 weeks in the charts anyway :lol:

 

 

Why does anyone check mid-weeks? Have you considered that he might have an interest in the charts like many people around here do?

Midweek Charts: Cheryl single nearing 100,000 sales

Source: MW

16:15 | Wednesday June 13, 2012

By Paul Williams

 

 

Call My Name is set to become Cheryl’s third UK number one single this weekend as it rapidly heads towards 100,000 sales as one of the fastest sellers this year.

 

The newly-issued Polydor track had shifted nearly 97,000 copies up to the end of business on Tuesday, according to the Official Charts Company, more than double that of closest challenger Whistle by Atlantic-signed Flo Rida.

 

Cole has previously topped the UK singles chart with Fight For This Love in 2009 and Promise This the following year and Call My Name is virtually guaranteed to follow suit.

 

With sales of the Flo Rida track up 269% on the week, the Decca single Sing by Gary Barlow and the Commonwealth Band is now down to three in the week to date having climbed to number one last Sunday.

 

Barlow’s album of the same name, having secured a second week at the top last weekend, continues to lead the artist albums market this week, but is fewer than 1,000 sales ahead of RCA act Usher’s brand new studio set Looking For Myself in second place.

 

Only a few hundred sales further behind is Life In A Beautiful Light, the third album by Mercury act Amy MacDonald, which is showing up as a new entry at three on artist albums at this stage of the week. Parlophone act Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto climbs 5-4 as Asylum/Atlantic’s Ed Sheeran album + drops 2-5 in the week it has been released in North America.

 

Maximo Park could be heading for their third consecutive Top 10 album but their first on Universal-owned V2 with The National Health currently appearing as a new entry at six, while following a label change themselves from EMI to Domino Hot Chip’s newly-released In Our Heads is placed ninth.

 

The Top 10 sellers at this point of the week are completed by Virgin act Emeli Sande’s Our Version Of Events dropping 6-7 and the Reprise/Rhino Bee Gees best of Number Ones falling 4-8, while RCA act Paloma Faith’s Fall To Grace slips 3-10.

 

 

After being discounted at retail, the four-disc Fleetwood Mac boxed set 25 Years – The Chain, which was first released by Warner Bros in 1992, is new at 12 in the midweeks. Also newly arriving is UK electronic dance music producer and DJ Orlando Higginbottom under the guise of Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. His Polydor debut Trouble is the 19th top artist seller in the week so far.

 

Other albums set to debut this Sunday include Bobby Womack’s first XL album The Bravest Man In The Universe, Sony best ofs from Johnny Cash and Stone Roses and an album of vintage Neil Young material from Reprise/Warner Bros.

 

Back on the singles midweeks and a version by Precision Tunes is leading various cash-in covers of Maroon 5’s US smash Payphone ahead of its UK release. The PT Records-issued Precision Tunes interpretation has moved 83-14 in the midweeks with around 8,600 sales in the week so far.

 

Joining Cheryl Cole, Flo Rida and Gary Barlow in the midweek top five is Asylum/Black Butter’s former number one Feel The Love by Rudimental featuring John Newman. It holds at four as Parlophone’s Coldplay climb 8-5 with Princess Of China featuring Rihanna.

 

Atlantic/Fueled By Ramen’s We Are Young by Fun featuring Janelle Monae drops 3-6 and DJ Fresh featuring Dizzee Rascal’s Ministry of Sound-issued The Power slips 6-7. The Top 10 at this stage of the week is completed by three more fallers with RCA act Usher’s Scream down 5-8, Interscope/Polydor’s Carly Rae Jepsen single Call Me Maybe dropping 7-9 and Rihanna’s Def Jam/Mercury cut Where Have You Been slipping 9-10.

 

A week after The Voice winner Leanne Mitchell’s Run To You missed out on a Top 40 place, tracks by other finalists from the BBC One programme are debuting in the midweeks. They are led in 30th place by the Island-issued Steve Winwood cover Higher Love by Tyler James, but also include Max Milner’s version of Tom Petty’s Free Fallin’ and Bo Bruce’s reworking of Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill, both on UMTV.

I don't see why Cheryl couldn't clear 100k of her album to be honest!

Very BJ-friendly chart so far :kink: Really hoping Precision Tunes isn't top 20.

 

Leanne was at #27 this time last week, so Tyler at 30 probably means he'll be out by Sunday, then again she had an extra day.

 

Euphoria only down 3, awesome.

 

Edit: #14. ARGH. Are people really that impatient/dumb?

You and your big post :(

Loreen still top 20 almost three weeks after Eurovision, she would out of the top 100 if it wasn't for the reasonable enough music channel airplay.
You and your big post :(

 

It's not the size that matters it's what you do with it :P

 

Better that then I post 5 in a row, right? Tbh this is only because I can't get on Twitter ATM.

Cheryl on 97k http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v162/melanieriley/flatback.gif http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v56/FatherA/shok.gif
Gary's Sing hanging on at number 3 in the singles! and number 1 in the albums!! Usher must be selling very poorly
I hope Usher gets #01, his album is fantastic and he deserves it much much more than Gary Barlow.
Didn't expect Amy MacDonald to still be doing so well, even if it will fade from view very quickly a la the last KT Tunstall album which went top five...
