June 20, 201214 yr Do we get charts info on Wednesday midday usually or do we have to wait for the Radio 1 update ?
June 20, 201214 yr Though that applies to Bieber as well, of course... Not really, have you seen the amount of promo singles he's put out? We've heard over a third of the album just by listening to the Chart Show.
June 20, 201214 yr Bieber 13026 copies Cheryl 9,649 copies + Itunes I didn't add a source because I found it on a few sites, and I have no idea which of them is a original source.
June 20, 201214 yr Not really, have you seen the amount of promo singles he's put out? We've heard over a third of the album just by listening to the Chart Show. Which you'd think would therefore *reduce* album sales, because fans will already have bought several tracks...
June 20, 201214 yr Posted on popjustice Still #2 in today's sales update, over 20k copies now sold but missing data from Play for yesterday. Biebs still over 3k ahead.
June 20, 201214 yr If Bieber still has a good lead with iTunes data now included I expect he'll hold on until Sunday since the Newcastle signings will be included as well right? And I think he's ahead on Play. Which you'd think would therefore *reduce* album sales, because fans will already have bought several tracks... How does that logic work? More promo singles mean people have more of a feel for what the album is like and whether they'd want to buy it. Yes fans might have bought several tracks but can't they then complete the album on iTunes to add to the albums sales?
June 20, 201214 yr First day for Bieber, second day tie, and now Cheryl has a four days to overtake Bieber, it's very possible.

June 20, 201214 yr Which you'd think would therefore *reduce* album sales, because fans will already have bought several tracks... You can't have it both ways :lol:
June 20, 201214 yr Which you'd think would therefore *reduce* album sales, because fans will already have bought several tracks... If we're talking about fans: fans not just buy "some" songs they don't mind if they have something twice. So no matter if they bought the promo singles they still buy the album. In fact if they listen to the promo singles and they like it, they will surely go to the shops to buy the physical version of the album. So I never thought it will reduce album sales in fact it strengthen them.
June 20, 201214 yr The fact that JB released several song prior to the launch of the album has helped him - I for one would not have got his album this week and waited for it to be reduced however because I had bought several of the singles iTunes offered me the complete my album option making it about £4 cheaper
June 20, 201214 yr Author Midweek Charts: Maroon 5 to ring up first UK chart-topper with Payphone Source: MW 16:20 | Wednesday June 20, 2012 By Paul Williams Payphone is set to give Maroon 5 their first ever UK number one single this weekend as Justin Bieber and Cheryl Cole battle it out for album honours. The A&M/Octone/Polydor-issued Payphone featuring Wiz Khalifa has opened up a significant lead at the top, outselling its two nearest rivals combined, according to Official Charts Company Data. Its strong start reflects its UK release having been held back, prompting such a build-up in demand that a sound-alike version by Precision Tunes on the PT label made the UK Top 10 last week. As a consequence of the original finally being available, this reworking has now dropped down to 48 in the midweeks. Maroon 5’s expected debut at one will end Polydor colleague Cheryl Cole’s chart-topping reign after just a week having debuted at the top with Call My Name last Sunday with the highest first-week sales of the year. Call My Name is currently two in the midweeks with Atlantic act Flo Rida’s Whistle dropping 2-3 and Warner Bros act Stooshe showing up as a new entry at four with Black Heart. Completing the singles Top 10 at this point in the week are Parlophone’s Coldplay featuring Rihanna falling 4-5 with Princess Of China, Asylum/Black Butter’s Feel The Love by Rudimental featuring John Newman dropping 5-6, the Atlantic/Fueled By Ramen-issued We Are Young by Fun featuring Janelle Monae down 6-7, Interscope/Polydor’s Carly Rae Jepsen back up 10-8 with Call Me Maybe, the Decca Gary Barlow/Commonwealth Band single Sing sliding 3-9 and RCA act Usher’s Scream slipping 8-10. While the singles battle looks lost, Cole has a chance of leading the UK artist albums chart this weekend. Her third solo set A Million Lights is currently behind Mercury act Justin Bieber’s own brand new album Believe, although the sales gap up until the end of business on Tuesday was just 3,263 units. Following her appearance on Graham Norton’s BBC One show last Friday night RCA act Paloma Faith climbs 5-3 with her RCA set Fall To Grace with weekly sales up 64% as sales of the track she performed Picking Up The Pieces increase 84% to move it 14-11 on the singles midweeks. Meanwhile, sales of Emeli Sande’s Virgin album Our Version Of Events improve 18% as it progresses 6-5. After spending its first three weeks at number one, the Gary Barlow/Commonwealth Band Decca album Sing will fall this weekend with sales on the week dropping 54%. It is the week so far’s sixth biggest artist album with Mercury act Amy MacDonald’s Life In A Beautiful Light now fourth having debuted at two last Sunday and RCA act Usher’s Looking 4 Myself seventh after charting at three last weekend. Slash’s new Roadrunner album Apocalyptic Love featuring Myles Kennedy is showing up as a new entry at eight. Parlophone act Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto fall 4-9 and US country superstar Carrie Underwood’s first UK chart entry could be in the Top 10 with her newly-issued RCA album Blown Away currently a new entry at number 10. Reverend & The Makers’ brand new Cooking Vinyl album At Reverend Makers is 13th at this stage of the week, while also set to chart this Sunday is Oceania, the new Smashing Pumpkins album released on their Martha’s Music label through their old record company Virgin, and The Lost Tapes by Kraut rock band Can, released by the Spoon label through Mute/EMI. Back on singles and Paul Weller is set for a new entry this Sunday with a cover of The Beatles’ Birthday, especially recorded to mark Sir Paul McCartney’s 70th birthday. It is presently a new entry at 30 on the midweeks. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Wednesday Update Top 40 Only Source: Radio 1/OCC Top 40 Singles 1 Maroon 5/Wiz Khalifa* (80k) 2 Cheryl (40k) 3 Flo Rida 4 StooShe* 5 Coldplay & Rihanna 6-10 8 Carly Rae Jepsen 11-20 11 Paloma Faith 16 Emeli Sande 17 Labrinth 20 Katy Perry 21-30 21 Avicii 26 Flo Rida/Sia 27 Pitbull 29 Skrillex 30 Paul Weller [birthday]* 31-40 32 Justier Bieber [boyfriend] [Re] 38 Azealia Banks [Re] 40 David Guetta/Sia [Re] http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/update/singles/print http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/m...-1-single-1455/ =================================================== Top 40 Albums 1 Justin Bieber* (3,263 ahead) 2 Cheryl* 3 Paloma Faith 4 Amy MacDonald 5 Emeli Sande 6-10 8 Slash* 10 Carrie Underwood* 11-20 13 Reverend & The Makers* 14 Smashing Pumpkins* 20 Ben Howard 21-30 22 Noel Gallagher 24 Kelly Clarkson 26 Jay-Z & Kanye West 31-40 35 Can* *New entries http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/update/albums/print http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/c...r-1-album-1454/
June 20, 201214 yr Posted on popjustice Still #2 in today's sales update, over 20k copies now sold but missing data from Play for yesterday. Biebs still over 3k ahead. 20k after two days sound healthy enough ! Anything between 40k-50k would be pretty good, since sales are DIRE this time of the year. Number 1 sold 28k last week, and number 2 sold 26k, so whatever happens Cheryl's sales will be great. Of course the number 1 would be a bonus and would look nice on her chart history, but oh hey, what can we do...
