July 5, 201214 yr Is it me or do Buzzjack members seem to be able to hold on to a grudge and not think that people can learn from their mistakes, more than anyone? For goodness sakes, let it go lol! And outselling Maroon 5 by 80% in the album charts, seems he has it in the bag. Of course, I'd rather see Linkin Park get a second week at the top, but you can't have everything. Beating up a woman isn't a "mistake"
July 5, 201214 yr Beating up a woman isn't a "mistake" So you think it's a good idea then? Wow, I never thought I'd find someone who shared my viewpoint on that.
July 6, 201214 yr Is it me or do Buzzjack members seem to be able to hold on to a grudge and not think that people can learn from their mistakes, more than anyone? In my case I can't let it go because IMO he wasn't really punished - he should have spent time behind bars!
July 6, 201214 yr people, can we stay on topic please. The "morality" or otherwise of the Chris Brown and Rihanna situation is not of relevance here. It must be lovely to sit in moral judgement over other people's actions but making statements as to whether or not a singer has been sufficiently punished or not "in your eyes" might be enough for you not to buy his songs but don't try enforcing this judgement onto others. thanks
July 6, 201214 yr BTW the Wednesday update said on the OCC website that the top 3 singles are separated by 4k, so will.i.am at #3 is around 4k away from Maroon 5. ;)

July 6, 201214 yr Update is in, Maroon 5 still #1 single... as for the albums wait and see :kink: Hate it :( CB will lose by a 1000-2000 copies top! PP is soooo BAD.

Plus, he makes hideously awful music. Back to topic-I hope Maroon 5 hold onto both singles and albums this week. Edited July 6, 201214 yr by madollar
July 6, 201214 yr Midweek Charts update: Graceland set for big chart revival Source: MW 13:06 | Friday July 6, 2012 By Paul Williams Paul Simon’s Graceland is heading for its highest UK chart position since its original run ahead of the singer playing the album in full at next weekend’s Hard Rock Calling 2012. Sony’s 25th anniversary edition of the album, which reached number one in 1986, has moved 45-6 in the midweeks with sales more than doubling on the week, according to the Official Charts Company. The re-issued album spent two weeks at number 10 last month, but it looks poised to better that when the week’s final artist albums chart is published on Sunday. Simon will perform Graceland at Hard Rock Calling in London’s Hyde Park next Sunday (July) with a line-up featuring trumpeter Hugh Masekela and Ladysmith Black Mambazo, who both played on the original album. Above Graceland, RCA act Chris Brown is on course for his first-ever UK number one album with newly-issued Fortune, which is currently 72% ahead in sales of nearest challenger Overexposed by A&M/Octone/Polydor’s Maroon 5. Warner Bros’s Linkin Park album Living Things, which entered at one last Sunday, is the week so far’s third top artist seller, while Asylum/Atlantic’s Ed Sheeran drops 3-4 with + and Virgin’s Emeli Sande holds at five with Our Version Of Events. The week’s 10 biggest-selling singles are exactly the same as they were on last Sunday’s chart but reshuffled with Maroon 5 featuring Wiz Khaifa’s Payphone little more than 1,000 sales ahead currently of Chris Brown’s Don’t Wake Me Up in first place. Payphone was second on last Sunday’s chart and Don’t Wake Me Up second, while Interscope/Polydor’s will.i.am featuring Eva Simons singe This Is Love is down to three in the midweeks having debuted at the top last weekend. Atlantic’s Flo Rida holds at four with Whistle and Warner Bros’s second Stooshe single Black Heart moves back up 8-5. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Friday Update Top 40 Only Singles 1 Maroon 5/Wiz Khalifa (1k ahead) 2 Chris Brown 3 will.i.am/Eva Simons 4 Flo Rida 5 StooShe Top 10 fun. 9 Katy Perry Top 20 16 Nicki Minaj [PTA] Gotye/Kimbra Top 30 22 Lady Antebellum 24 Rita Ora/Tinie Tempah 28 Blur The Wanted Professor Green Top 40 34 Dappy Skrillex/Sirah 40 Jessie J [Domino] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Albums 1 Chris Brown 2 Maroon 5 3 Linkin Park 4 Ed Sheeran 5 Emeli Sande Top 10 Paul Simon 8 Rihanna Coldplay 10 Lana Del Rey Top 15 11 Adele [21] Top 20 Stone Roses [TVBO] fun.

July 6, 201214 yr Even though there's no sales today, the fact that Payphone is still #1 makes me think they pulled away a little bit. That said I can imagine them losing the #1 single and gaining the #1 album, it's going to be very close on Sunday that's for sure. Can anyone explain the random massive climb for Paul Simon by the way? I love Graceland, my dad always played it in the car when I was growing up.
July 6, 201214 yr Awful update for Cheryl, I wanna cry. :cry: It's character building for her, she might even employ a voice coach now as well as a hair, makeup and fashion stylist.
July 6, 201214 yr I hope Dappy and Jessie J fall out of the top 40 by Sunday, two songs which don't need to be there! Great to see Nicki already as high as #16, I think it could possibly get to #13-#14 by Sunday! And Starships still holding strong at #20!

July 6, 201214 yr Do Will Young fans have ANYTHING positive to say about any artist that isn't Will Young? You only seem to come in here and give sly digs to other artists who have a fanbase on here, possibly to try and provoke a reaction. They only seem to come in the thread when Will Young is releasing another song or (worst of all!) if another X Factor/Reality TV show-related artist has released something to give them digs and give their "Will Young is the best ever!" sort of attitude. PLEASE say I'm not the only one who's noticed this? It annoys the f*** out of me and has done for a long time (hence my nominations of a couple of them for "hate charts" or whatever.
July 6, 201214 yr Do Will Young fans have ANYTHING positive to say about any artist that isn't Will Young? True, I am a big Will Young fan since day 1, but I just find their attitude sad. Especially since Will used to have so much criticism back in the days, you would think they'd learnt from it and wouldn't do the same to other artists.
