September 20, 201213 yr They probably don't even know she has a new album out :P . As far as I'm aware there's been next to no promotion for it, Bog Hoops had a bit of airplay but that's months old now. Freudian slip? :P
September 20, 201213 yr Brillantly refreshing to see sales will be close to 100k for the top 2 albums this week. Although after that sales could be poorish if Bad is top 10? Not sure what to think. M & S sales should be v.interesting next week too!!
September 20, 201213 yr Very disappointed to see The Script at #1 for a second week as Say Nothing won't be likely to overtake Hall Of Fame at all. It's a very average song in my opinion. The charts really need shaking up, which is why I'm excited for the chart battle between One Direction, Swedish House Mafia and Leona Lewis in October. :D Does anyone know why Justin Bieber's As Long As You Love Me has re-entered by the way?He was on Jonathan Ross over the weekend. They played a clip of the track. The Killers performed.
September 20, 201213 yr Apparently there is around 200 copies between The Script and Example! I think Example can actually do it, with The Script hopefully losing the #1 effect when PSY overtakes, and Example on Celeb Juice and Alan Carr this week! :funky:
September 20, 201213 yr Probably, because I know it's nothing to do with the situation that Nothing but the Beat and the 2.0 version has (where the original songs from NBTB are in a different order on 2.0 version), 'Nothing but the Beat 2.0' has two songs missing from the original - the Jessie J and Jennifer Hudson tracks, so the sales won't be combined, as the deluxe has to replicate the original for it to happen.
September 21, 201213 yr Author Update coming shortly, the singles chart is very quiet this week with just 3 new entries and a re-entry for Justin Bieber, no change top 5, PSY is top 10 Simple Plan, Coldplay & Rihanna, Elbow and Plan B have left the top 40 chart from last week. And the albums no change top 5.
September 21, 201213 yr Midweek Charts update: PSY on course for UK Top 10 Source: MW by Paul Willams South Korean rapper PSY is heading for the UK Top 10 this Sunday after sales of his Gangnam Style single quadrupled week on week. The track, which leapt 64-11 this week on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, moves 37-6 in the latest UK midweeks with sales rising 389%, according to the Official Charts Company. The Island release has already made history by becoming the first Korean-language hit to ever chart in the UK. Ahead of Gangnam Style, Epic/Phonogenic act The Script look like securing a second week a No 1 this Sunday with Hall Of Fame featuring will.i.am., while Ministry of Sound act Example appears set to debut at 2 with Say Nothing. Motown/Mercury act Ne-Yo's former No 1 Let Me Love You (Until You Learn To Love) holds at 3 in the midweeks, while RCA signing Pink progresses 5-4 with Blow Me (One Last Kiss) and Mercury artist Taylor Swift moves up 7-5 with We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. On albums Vertigo/Mercury's The Killers are heading for a fourth straight No 1 with newly-issued Battle Born which by the end of business on Thursday was around 12,000 sales ahead of Pink's brand new album The Truth About Love at No 2. The Script's Number 3 drops 2-3 in the week to date, while Young Turks/XL's XX are down to 4 having debuted at No 1 last Sunday. Emeli Sande's Virgin debut Our Version of Events holds at 5, while Sony's 25th anniversary Michael Jackson reissue of Bad is new at 6 and Interscope/Polydor act Carly Rae Jepsen's first album Kiss is new at 9. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Friday Update Top 40 Only Singles 1 The Script/will.i.am 2 Example 3 Ne-Yo 4 Pink 5 Taylor Swift Top 10 6 PSY (22,000 copies behind mid-week leaders) Source: OCC Top 15 11 Dappy :lol: David Guetta/Sia 15 Emeli Sande [RAAIPIII] Top 20 Mumford & Sons Conor Maynard/Ne-Yo Top 30 Otto Knows Jess Wright 30 Justin Bieber/Big Sean Top 40 Professor Green/Sierra Alex Clare [TC] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Albums 1 The Killers (12k ahead) 2 Pink 3 The Script 4 The XX 5 Emeli Sande Top 10 6 Michael Jackson 9 Carly Rae Jepsen Top 15 Ed Sheeran Grizzly Bear Top 20 Band Of Horses Top 30 Alt-J Mumford & Sons Rival Sons Richie Sambora Top 40 Ben Folds Five Marillion Skunk Anansie 39 Pink [GH] 40 Nelly Furtado NO SALES INFO ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ARTIST UPDATES Singles Little Mix 5+2 Amelia Lily 5+3 Owl/Carly 5+5 Cheryl 10+7 Rita Ora [HWD(P)] 10+10 Tulisa/Tyga 20+5 Florence 20+6 Stooshe 30+3 Nicki Minaj [PTA] 30+4 Carly 30+5 Albums Paloma Faith 10+4 Rita Ora 10+5 Adele [21] 10+10 One Direction 20+9 Rihanna [TTT] 30+1 Pet Shop Boys 30+7 :snif: Lana Del Rey 30+8
September 21, 201213 yr Nelly Furtado likely to miss out on top 40 albums and here was me thinking it would be top five
September 21, 201213 yr I did say Nelly was going to really underperform. But I'll admit that I thought it'd end up at something like #34 in the end. It will probably chart at #49 now.
September 21, 201213 yr Will wait to see sales update but excellent to see The Killers leading and looking at over 100k. Carly Rae Jepsen appears to be doing a Katy Perry with the album doing surprisingly poorly given how massive the first single was. Still, "One Of The Boys" managed to accumulate pretty good overall sales so maybe "Kiss" will do likewise. Vaccines update please?
September 21, 201213 yr Mid report added, Killers are 12k ahead of Pink.FUCK YES! :D So pleased they've managed it with (relative) ease. I do hope they can somehow scrape the 100k, but I'm thinking 92k (which is still excellent for todays climate).
September 21, 201213 yr http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/c...on-sunday-1601/ According to the Official Charts Company’s latest sales data, Gangnam Style is just 22,000 copies behind mid-week leaders The Script and Will.I.Am’s Hall Of Fame. And with sales of Gangnam Style accelerating by an average of 20% each day this week, and Friday and Saturday's sales still to be counted, could Psy become the first ever K-pop star to hit Number 1 in the UK?
