June 25, 201213 yr Author Midweek Charts: Will.i.am targeting first UK solo chart-topper Source: MW 16:15 | Wednesday June 27, 2012 By Paul Williams Will.i.am is heading for a first UK number one single in his own right as Linkin Park battle Maroon 5 in a bid to head the artist albums chart. The Voice coach’s newly-issued Interscope/Polydor track This Is Love featuring Eva Simons has opened up an early lead of around 13,000 sales, according to Official Charts Company Data, with RCA act Chris Brown’s brand new single Don’t Wake Me Up presently in runner-up position. Will.i.am. has scored five UK number one singles with Black Eyed Peas, but This Is Love would be his first outside the group. His highest position achieved so far with a non-Peas track is three, with T.H.E. Hardest Ever last year featuring Jennifer Lopez and Mick Jagger. The top of the artist albums market is much tighter at this stage of the week with Warner Bros’s Linkin Park newly-issued Living Things around 5,500 sales ahead of A&M/Octone/Polydor’s new Maroon 5 album Overexposed. Both bands have previously topped the UK artist albums chart twice, Linkin Park doing it in 2003 with Meteora and with Minutes To Midnight in 2007, while Maroon 5s first two albums Songs About Jane and It Won’t Be Soon Before Long reached number one. The Radio 1 Hackney Weekend is having a big impact at retail with a number of acts who performed enjoying significant sales increases. They are led by Jay-Z whose Roc-A-Fella/Mercury album Watch The Throne with Kanye West rises 20-3 on the midweeks on the back of a 225% week-on-week sales increase. N***** In Paris from the album moves 44-17 on singles Sales Flashes as its sales rise 216%, while the same album’s No Church In The Wild progresses 41-32. Sales of fellow Hackney Weekend performer Ed Sheeran’s Asylum/Atlantic album + are up 23% to lift it 7-5 at this stage of the week, while the event’s closing act Rihanna’s Def Jam/Mercury-issued Talk That Talk enjoys a 26% sales lift to move it 13-10. Other acts gaining as a result of the weekend include Island’s Ben Howard whose Every Kingdom rises 22-13 with sales up 34% and Lana Del Rey whose Polydor album Born To Die enjoys an 11% increase, though drops a place to 16 in the midweeks. Meanwhile, 4th & Broadway/Island’s Taio Cruz, who also performed, arrives in 16th place on the singles midweeks with the newly-issued There She Goes. Having debuted at one on the artist albums chart last Sunday, Def Jam/Mercury’s Justin Bieber is down to fourth place in the week so far with Believe, while Cheryl Cole’s Polydor release A Million Lights slides 2-6. Completing the Top 10 positions at this stage of the week are Virgin act Emeli Sande’s Our Version of Events, which drops 4-7, and new albums from Atlantic’s Flo Rida (Wild Ones) and Round’s Ginger Wildheart (100 Percent) in eighth and ninth positions. A number of other brand new albums will chart this coming Sunday and include releases by Hospital’s Netsky, The Levellers via their On The Fiddle label, the self-released Metric, Columbia’s Offspring, Roadrunner’s Gojira and Universal Ireland’s Jedward. After entering the singles chart at the top last Sunday, Maroon 5 featuring Wiz Khalifa’s track Payphone is now ranked third in the week to date with sales sliding 49%. Also heading towards are Flo Rida’s Atlantic track Whistle, which drops 2-4, and Polydor act Cheryl Cole’s Call My Name, which falls 2-5. The Parlophone single Princess Of China by Coldplay and Rihanna slips 5-6 and Asylum/Black Butter’s Feel The Love by Rudimental featuring John Newman drops 6-7, while Warner Bros act Stooshe’s Black Heart is now ranked eighth having debuted at four on last Sunday’s chart. Fun featuring Janelle Monae’s Atlantic/Fueled By Ramen track We Are Young is also heading in the wrong direction, falling 7-9, but Virgin act Katy Perry’s Wide Awake is now among the Top 10 positions, rising 12-10 with a 77% sales increase in the week to date. ========================== Wednesday Update Top 40 Only Source: Radio 1/OCC Top 40 Singles 1 will.i.am/Eva Simons* (13k ahead) 2 Chris Brown* 3 Maroon 5/Wiz Khalifa 4 Flo Rida 5 Cheryl 6-10 10 Katy Perry 11-20 14 Rihanna 16 Taio Cruz/Pitbull* 17 Jay-Z/Kanye West 19 Nicki Minaj [starships] 31-40 32 Jay-Z & Kanye West/Frank Ocean http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/update/singles/print http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/w...is-is-love-1465 =================================================== Top 40 Albums 1 Linkin Park* 2 Maroon 5* (5.5k behind LP) 3 Jay-Z/Kanye West 4 Justin Bieber 5 Ed Sheeran 6-10 8 Flo Rida* 9 Ginger Wildheart* 11-20 13 Ben Howard 21-30 21 Netsky* 22 Levellers* 23 Noel Gallagher 24 Metric* 25 One Direction 26 Nicki Minaj 27 Offspring* 28 Gojira* 31-40 33 Jedward* http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/update/albums/print http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/l...ums-chart-1464/ *New Entries
June 25, 201213 yr Author Midweek Charts update: Linkin Park and Maroon 5 run close for chart honours Source: MW 10:40 | Friday June 29, 2012 By Paul Williams Just a few thousand sales currently separate Linkin Park and Maroon 5’s new albums as both US bands look to top the UK artist albums chart for a third time. Linkin Park’s newly-issued Warner Bros set Living Things has been leading the market all week, but remains just ahead of Maroon 5’s new A&M/Octone/Polydor album Overexposed going into the weekend, according to Official Charts Company Data. Linkin Park previously reached number one in the UK in 2003 with Meteora and then again in 2007 with the follow-up Minutes To Midnight, while Maroon 5 opened their UK chart account with two chart-toppers: Songs About Jane in 2004 and It Won’t Be Soon Before Long three years later. Asylum/Atlantic act Ed Sheeran is up from 7-3 at this stage of the week with + thanks partly to coverage of the Radio 1 Hackney Weekend, which also helps the Roc-A-Fella/Mercury title Watch The Throne by Jay-Z & Kanye West progress 20-6. Meanwhile, the two albums that debuted in the top two positions last Sunday have seen their sales fall by around 70% this week, sending Def Jam/Mercury’s Justin Bieber dropping 1-4 with Believe and Cheryl Cole’s Polydor offering A Million Lights falling 2-5. Cole’s manager will.i.am has every chance of topping 100,000 first-week sales with his Interscope/Polydor singe This Is Love featuring Eva Simmons. The track is presently around 17,000 copies ahead of its closest rival, fellow new release Don’t Wake Me Up by RCA’s Chris Brown, having sold 83,000 copies so far and should give him a first solo UK number one this Sunday. Having debuted at the top last weekend, Maroon 5 featuring Wiz Khalifa’s A&M/Octone/Polydor single Payphone is now down to three, while Atlantic act Flo Rida drops 3-4 with Whistle and Cheryl Cole’s Polydor-issued Call My Name falls 2-5. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Friday Update Top 40 Only Singles 1 will.i.am/Eva Simons (83k) 2 Chris Brown (66k) 3 Maroon 5/Wiz Khalifa 4 Flo Rida 5 Cheryl Top 10 10 Katy Perry Top 15 12 Taio Cruz/Pitbull Labrinth Top 20 18 Jay-Z & Kanye West Nicki Minaj Top 30 27 Muse Top 40 Wanted Jay-Z & Kanye West/Frank Ocean 33 David Guetta/Sia Professor Green/Ruth Anne ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Albums 1 Linkin Park 2 Maroon 5 3 Ed Sheeran 4 Justin Bieber 5 Cheryl Top 10 6 Jay-Z & Kanye West 8 Flo Rida 9 Rihanna Top 15 Ben Howard Top 20 18 Ginger Wildheart Top 30 Nicki Minaj Netsky Noel Gallagher 24 One Direction The Levellers 28 Train 30 Offspring Top 40 Rizzle Kicks Olly Murs Labrinth 37 Metric Florence + The Machine NO SALES INFO ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ARTIST UPDATES Singles Coldplay/Rihanna 4+3 Carly Rae Jepsen 5+6 Rihanna 10+3 Avicii 30+6 Loreen 30+9 Albums Emeli Sande 4+3 Adele 10+5 Lana Del Rey 10+6 Kelly Clarkson 20+5
June 26, 201213 yr Author Looks like will. has got the #1 wrapped up this week in the singles chart. As for the albums its wide open between 2 acts Linkin Park and Maroon 5, my gut feeling says Linkin Park. I'm away this morning, twitter is your friend for midweeks, might find the odd positions on twitter for some acts.
June 26, 201213 yr I'd like 'Don't Wake Me Up' to have been #1 this week but I suppose 'This Is Love' isn't that bad either. Either way, DWMU should be much bigger than the awful Turn Up The Music. -_-
June 26, 201213 yr This Is Love is 100x better than Don't Wake Me Up. Not surprising when will.i.am is much better than Chris Brown and Steve Angello is much better than Benny Benassi. DWMU is better than TUTM but that doesn't mean it deserves to be #1. TEAM WILL :cheer:
June 26, 201213 yr Is ''Clubland'' allowed to Chart in the normal top 40? :unsure: No in the complilation charts
June 26, 201213 yr Sales must be dire - Ginger Wildheart #5 in today's mids :huh: Source - https://twitter.com/Gingernyc/status/217588715021799424
June 26, 201213 yr Wildhearts were big in the 90s and have 13 top 40 singles so pretty expected imo. Also: "Ginger announced on February 18, 2012 that the title of the triple album would be 555% and that when the pledge total hit that number, the 3CD hard copy of the album would be withdrawn from the campaign and immediately deleted, although the digital download would remain available to all subsequent pledgers. Also, the title of the 12-track version of the release was announced to be 100%." Every little trick helps.
June 26, 201213 yr Who or indeed what? :mellow: Indeed :lol: From what i can work out the band is a re-formation of the 'Wildhearts' - Anyway rather shocking to see them there whoever they are which would make me think they have had to sell a small amount to do so! :lol: Judging by the Tweet even the band are shocked :lol: Edited June 26, 201213 yr by Pop B!tch

They have hardly been known for their album sales though have they despite having 13 Top 40 hits so it was hardly 'expected' especially as their 3 most recent albums missed the Top 50 and they have not troubled the Top 40 since 1996 - Good luck to them though! :D Albums: Earth Vs The Wildhearts [1993] #46 - 1 week PHUQ [1995] #6 - 4 weeks Fishing For Luckies [1996] #16 - 2 weeks Endless Nameless [1997] #41 - 1 week The Wildhearts Must Be Destroyed [2003] #54 - 1 week The Wildhearts [2007] #55 - 1 week Chutzpah [2009] #53 - 1 week
June 26, 201213 yr Is ''Clubland'' allowed to Chart in the normal top 40? :unsure: What is a normal chart? There are artists and compilation charts :D It's like the NOW albums, they are always in the compilation charts ;)
June 26, 201213 yr Author Few mentions on Twitter that 'Clubland 21' album is #1 in the mids And NOW Reggae #3 https://twitter.com/#!/NotoriousNaz1 Basically someone is talking about the compilation chart, the tweeter works for Universal Music in marketing.
June 26, 201213 yr What is a normal chart? There are artists and compilation charts :D It's like the NOW albums, they are always in the compilation charts ;) You know what i ment Ben :o :P , I might like official top 40 albums, Thats 'normal album chart' to me! But yes i thought it be in the 'Compilation charts' and not the 'Artists chart' aka ''Normal Chart'' :P
