The usual fare from the big pop artists releasing at xmas cos they dont bother releasing outside of the xfactor season!! :rolleyes:

 

Who'll sell most though?

Edited September 17, 201212 yr by steve201

I'm not 100% sure whats being released but I think Mumford and Sons will sell a lot.

 

Could they hit 1m before the end of 2012?

Mumford & Sons is going to be huge. I wouldn't be surprised if Leona does really well. I'm hoping P!nk will be able to carry over well into the holiday season too! Rihanna and Lady Gaga are releasing as well right? I can see them doing big things too. So many new releases! I'll go with:

 

1. Mumford & Sons

2. Lady Gaga

3. Rihanna

4. P!nk/Leona

 

Emeli Sandé and Rebecca Ferguson's re-releases could do very well too. Robbie Williams is releasing as well right? He could do big things with the right promotion/material.

The Script - #3 10/0912

Mumford and Sons - Babel 24/9/12

Greenday - !Uno! 24/9/12 Dos 12/11/12

Susan Boyle 14/11/12

Little Mix - DNA 14/11/12

Other??

Edited September 18, 201212 yr by steve201

Of that list, I think these are the ones that will sell the most:

 

The Script - #3 10/0912

Pink - The Truth about Love 17/9/12

Mumford and Sons - Babel 24/9/12

Muse - The Second Law 1/10/12

OD - Take me Home 21/11/12

Olly Murs - Right Place, Right Time27/11/12

Robbie Williams - Take the Crown 5/11/12

Michael Buble - Christmas reissue 22/10/11

Susan Boyle 14/11/12

Little Mix - DNA 14/11/12

 

And these ones will underperform/not do great things:

 

The Killers - Battle Born 17/09/12 - I think this will be an average seller for them, definitely won't sell 1m

Greenday - !Uno! 24/9/12 Dos 12/11/12 - well past their peak, I don't think they can sell albums as well as they used to

No Doubt - Push and Shove 24/9/12 - hardly any promo, no big lead single

Ellie Goulding - Halcyon 8/10/12 - not sure about this, could go either way

Leona Lewis - Glassheart 15/10/12 - still remains to be seen how much damage Collide did

Taylor Swift - Red 22/10/12 - she's never really been a huge UK albums seller has she?

Lady Antebellum - On this Winters Night 22/10/12 - again, they've never been a big seller in the UK

Calvin Harris - 18 Months 29/10/12 - I think Calvin's more of a singles seller than an albums seller

JLS - Evolution 5/11/12 - I'm sure people are getting a bit bored of them now, although if they come back with a killer single then who knows

 

 

Is Gaga actually releasing an album this year?

Is Gaga actually releasing an album this year?

 

Next year.

 

The Script - #3 10/09/12 - will continue to sell well but no moreso than their previous two

The Killers - Battle Born 17/09/12 - easy #1 but not their usual million seller, no obvious smash second single

Pink - The Truth about Love 17/9/12 - may end up outselling The Killers if the second single is good

Mumford and Sons - Babel 24/9/12 - "I Will Wait" won't become as ubiquitous as their older singles and this will be lucky to make a million

Greenday - !Uno! 24/9/12 Dos 12/11/12 - even platinum may be a struggle but comfortable #2 next week, Tré! should go to #1 in January

No Doubt - Push and Shove 24/9/12 - will bomb after week 1, "Settle Down" has been handled dreadfully

Muse - The Second Law 1/10/12 - gigantic opening but needs a strong next single to keep momentum. Big January sales seller

Ellie Goulding - Halcyon 8/10/12 - depends entirely on "Anything Could Happen" but I think it'll smash

Leona Lewis - Glassheart 15/10/12 - depends entirely on "Trouble" which may underperform

Taylor Swift - Red 22/10/12 - would have probably done better with a September release seeing how well the single is doing

Lady Antebellum - On this Winters Night 22/10/12 - solid opening, may do well in January

Calvin Harris - 18 Months 29/10/12 - risky being so close to Christmas but "Sweet Nothing" should help it do well

JLS - Evolution 5/11/12 - could get them a second #1 but beyond that it's dependent on singles

OD - Take me Home 21/11/12 - annoyingly massive, their stature has only grown this year

Olly Murs - Right Place, Right Time 27/11/12 - new single is a risk, will either take him to the next level or backfire massively

Robbie Williams - Take the Crown 5/11/12 - "Candy" should ensure this an easy #1 and will canter to a million

Michael Buble - Christmas reissue 22/10/11 - depends on the number of 'new' songs

Susan Boyle 14/11/12 - I'm surprised she's lasted this long. Flop

Little Mix - DNA 14/11/12 - if the single smashes this could be the biggest of the lot

^The second single from 'The Truth About Love' is 'Try', absolutely fantastic. Go and listen to it on Youtube

 

Lady Antebellum - On this Winters Night 22/10/12

Is this a Christmas album? With a right promo (X Factor etc) they can do wonders.

 

Of those mentioned above, I'd put my money on Mumford & Sons and One Direction.

Edited September 18, 201212 yr by SKOB

I'm not sure Robbie will be that quick to sell a million - maybe he'll entice all the Take That fans that would usually be buying a Take That album at Christmas.

If his new singles catchy enough and with xfactor promo he could do well!! In fact id love him to be the xmas no1 album!!

Btw don't forget Rihanna, she must have an album or two out before the end of December

I think the biggest sellers will be Mumford & Sons, One Direction and Muse.

 

Emeli Sande, Michael Buble and Rebecca Ferguson will both undoubtedly benefit from their re-releases - many may just assume it's a new album and purchase it. I can see each album getting an additional 200-250k sales up until Christmas added to their totals.

 

Olly Murs and Robbie Williams should both do well too - I imagine they'll be big sellers regardless of how their lead singles perform. Likewise with Leona, though without looking at the schedule I don't see any of them topping the chart.

 

Eager to see how No Doubt, JLS and Susan Boyle do really. No Doubt's comeback has been handled appallingly, as people have mentioned above. There's also been no hype around JLS - the focus is very much still on One Direction; with the US success of The Wanted and the minimal success of Lawson also pushing JLS down the league table of boybands; I'd happily call them the third most popular boyband around at the moment (behind 1D and The Wanted).

 

Susan Boyle will be a big hit with the 'older' generation (i.e. it may make for a nice gift for your nan). Besides that, I can't see it doing amazing; likely to miss out on #1.

Muse have no chance, they'll start off with a big week for The 2nd Law and then probably get a jump in sales slightly when the album goes in sale in the New Year

 

Buble, Murs, Boyle, Williams, One Direction and JLS will be the huge sellers as they are presents for granny, mum and kids

Likewise with Leona, though without looking at the schedule I don't see any of them topping the chart.

 

I think Leona will get to #1. I believe Dappy and Will.I.Am are her biggest competition.

 

Q4 will be really interesting. I forgot about One Direction and Olly. Both should sell very well, with One Direction doing very well hopefully. I also forgot about Ellie Goulding, Little Mix and Muse! Wow. There are a ton of albums coming up. I can see Ellie doing really well and Little Mix too if their 2nd single does well. Not sure about Muse, but they should go platinum. I think I'll change my list (now I know Gaga isn't releasing) to:

 

 

1. Mumford & Sons

2. Rihanna/One Direction

3. P!nk/Leona

4. Ellie Goulding

Exactly. They'll struggle to hit 400,000 this year.

Will Rebeccas album still be re-issued with the legal wrangle reported today?

I think Leona will get to #1. I believe Dappy and Will.I.Am are her biggest competition.

I assume you mean 1, 2/3, 4/5 and 6 respectively.

Only competition is Dappy now really, Which i can't see selling that much, Will.i.am as pushed his album back.

 

@iamwill

 

I'm trying to finish #willpower...& now because of all the leaks I have push the album back to make new songs...I will give you updates soon

Aslong as Ellie & Leona get #1 album's and sell well over next few months thats all am bothered about haha

 

I dont really see SUBO's album being a big seller tho, Didn't her album last year sell 300k-400k to date? i think the hype for her is dying.

No obvious big seller. Missed out Jonathon & Charlotte though. ITV1 primetime documentary and sure to perform on X Factor. I think a lot of these just depends on who performs on X Factor i.e. if Ellie Goulding did I could see her album being big.

 

Calvin Harris could surprise people aswell. I think people forget that there are 4/5 really big singles on there...

Next year.

 

Lady Antebellum - On this Winters Night 22/10/12 - solid opening, may do well in January

 

Its a Christmas album, it will be dead by January

yes it is, I can't imagine an X Factor slot (although I suppose SCD is a possibility)
