delighted that Newton is #1, I'm a fan of his but I fear it won't stay because of the album that has been released early, straight to #1 on itunes :(

 

pleased for Adam too, should be a top 10 album, top 20 single, nice to see him high up in the uk charts!

so pleased to see adam get a bit of success here at last. well deserved!

#12 is a great starting position for Adam, I'd love him to stay that high but I think he could quite easily fall to 13/14 by Sunday. (Comfortably smashing the peak of 'For Your Entertainment' though which is all that matters really :D) Dont' really care much for his album as NCOE is the only song of his I even like, but #3 is much higher than I thought he'd be based on iTunes. I know iTunes isn't everything albums-wise but he's not even top 20 there so I was thinking low top 10 at best!

 

Completely forgot about Lianne La Havas' album coming out this week, brilliant to see her at #2 so far. Newton Faulkner was an incredibly obvious #1, as strange as that sounds considering his last album only got to #3 and there's been roughly zero hype about 'Write It On Your Skin'. 1-3-1 albums run, nu James Morrison but with only one hit single :P 'Dream Catch Me' was brilliant but I haven't really been into any of his singles since then.

 

It'll be interesting to see how Frank Ocean does, I assume this is just an early download release and the physical is still not out until the original date?

no, refunds have been given!

I read on Twitter that The View were number 3, not Adam Lambert? It's #4 on iTunes (behind a single and a compilation) with Adam 26 so could be right....

Midweek Charts: Florence eyeing first singles chart-topper

Source: MW

16:15 | Wednesday July 11, 2012

By Paul Williams

 

Florence + The Machine could be heading to the top of the UK singles chart for the first time this weekend after opening up a narrow lead over Maroon 5.

 

The Island act’s new single Spectrum, which was 104th on last Sunday’s chart, currently commands a lead of around 3,000 sales over Maroon 5’s A&M/Octone/Polydor track Payphone, according to the Official Charts Company.

 

Florence’s highest chart peak on the countdown up tol now is two, achieved in 2010 with the Dizzee Rascal collaboration You Got The Dirtee Love, while individually the act’s peak is five, achieved with You Got The Love the year before.

 

Florence heads what is otherwise another fairly quiet week for the singles market with most of last week’s Top 10 shuffling around. As Payphone featuring Wiz Khalifa dips 1-2, although with every chance of regaining its lead by the end of the week, fellow Interscope/Polydor release This Is Love by will.i.am featuring Eva Simons holds at three, RCA’s Chris Brown drops 2-4 with Don’t Wake Me Up and Warner Bros’s Stooshe remain at five with Black Heart.

 

At this stage of the week, Flo Rida’s Atlantic single Whistle is down 4-6 and Asylum/Black Butter’s Rudimental with Feel The Love featuring John Newman drops 6-7, while Virgin’s Katy Perry progresses 9-8 with Wide Awake and the Parlophone-issued Princess Of China by Coldplay and Rihanna drops 8-9.

 

Cash Money/Island’s Nicki Minaj is shaping up for a third UK Top 10 in her own right with Pound The Alarm climbing 16-10 with sales up 75%, while RCA act Adam Lambert is showing up as a new entry currently at 13 with Never Close Our Eyes. The only other brand new entry among the Top 40 sellers at this stage is Columbia act The Vaccines’ No Hope at 30.

 

Lambert’s second album is one of six brand new releases among the Top 10 artist sellers at this point in the week. His former Billboard 200 chart-topper Trespassing is currently ranked seventh, while Ugly Truth/RCA’s Newton Faulkner leads the market with his brand new third album Write In On Your Skin. His debut Hand Build By Robots topped the chart in 2007, while 209’s Rebuilt By Humans reached number three.

 

Faulkner leads an all top three of new entries with the first album from BBC Sound of 2012 nominee and Warner act Lianne Le Havas’s first album Is Your Love Big Enough second and The View’s first Cooking Vinyl album Cheeky For A Reason third. Their last album Bread And Circuses, released by 1965/Columbia, reached number 14 last year.

 

Def Jam/Mercury’s introductory Frank Ocean album Channel Orange is showing up as a new entry at six, while veteran Canadian rock band Rush’s new Roadrunner album Clockwork Angels is new at 10. It debuted and peaked at two last month on the Billboard 200 chart.

 

Completing the current Top 10 sellers, Maroon 5 dip 2-4 with Overexposed, Chris Brown tumbles 1-5 with Fortune, Asylum/Atlantic’s Ed Sheeran is down 4-8 with + and Emeli Sande’s Virgin album Our Version Of Events falls 5-9.

 

Outselling all artist albums at the moment is Now That’s What I Call A No 1, the new EMI TV/UMTV compilation issued this week to coincide with an ITV1 series celebrating 60 years of the UK singles chart.

* New Entries

SIIKI already a re-entry at 40 and the Vaccines are new at 30 - thought the added eps and vinyl would give them a top 40 hit at least - lets hope the download doesnt freefall!!

The original version of Spectrum is a zillion times better than the remix.
