September 24, 201213 yr Author Midweek Charts: Mumford set to top 100,000 first-week sales by Paul Willams Mumford & Sons are heading for their first No 1 in the UK with Babel set to head the artist albums chart with the first 100,000 weekly total in seven months. The band's second Gentlemen Of The Road/Island set Babel had sold nearly 90,000 copies by the end of business on Tuesday, according to the Official Charts Company, outselling their nearest challenger Uno by Green Day by more than three copies to one. It puts it on course to top 100,000 first-week sales, becoming the first artist album to do so since Emeli Sande's Our Version Of Events in February. Mumford's 2009 debut entered at 11 in October 2009 with 15,732 sales and, although it eventually sold 1.3 million copies domestically, never ever reached No 1 and instead peaked at 2. It moves 21-14 in the midweeks with its weekly sales having doubled. The UK act's strong sales this week will deny Reprise/Warner Bros's Green Day a third UK chart-topper. Uno is the first of a trio of albums by the band being released in quick succession and follows up their 2009 No 1 album 21st Century Breakdown. Three other newly-issued albums are also registering in the midweek Top 10, among them Britain's Got Talent 2012 runners-up Jonathan & Charlotte whose Syco debut Together is at 5. The Mau5trap/Parlophone-issued Album Title Goes Here by Deadmau5 is new at 6, while Columbia act Lucy Rose's first album Like I Used To Know is new at 10 in the week so far. The UK singer-songwriter has previously featured as a vocalist on Bombay Bicycle Club's albums. Having debuted at No 1 on Sunday, The Killers' Vertigo/Mercury album Battle Born is now down to 4 as RCA act Pink's The Truth About Love drops 2-4. The Script's Epic/Phonogenic set #3 slides 3-7, while Virgin act Emeli Sande's Our Version Of Events falls 5-8. Also in decline is Coexist by Young Turks/XXL's The xx, falling 4-9. Following a performance on Jonathan Ross's ITV1 show last Saturday, Atlantic/Fueled By Ramen's Fun climb 15-11 with the album Some Nights. Its sales are up 60% in the week so far, while the track of the same name progresses 14-6 on the midweek singles chart with sales up 34%. Two acts whose last studio albums came out in 2001 will return to the chart this weekend. Interscope/Polydor's No Doubt finally follow up Rock Steady, which peaked at 43 in 2011, with Push And Shove. This is new at 13 in the week so far and looks likely to become their highest-peaking album since Tragic Kingdom reached 3 in 1995. Meanwhile, Scottish band Deacon Blue's own first studio album since 2001, The Hipsters, is on course to place them the highest in the chart since the retrospective Our Town - The Greatest Hits reached No 1 in 1995. The Edsel-issued new album is new at 16 at this stage of the week. Two veteran rock/metal acts will also score new entries on Sunday, led by the band Magnum whose Steamhammer/SPV-issued On The 13th Day appears at 20 in the current Sales Flashes. It could become their first Top 40 album since Sleepwalking reached No 27 in 1992. Joining them in the chart will be Iron Maiden founder Steve Harris whose EMI-issued solo set British Lion is at 23. A Universal re-issue of The Sex Pistols' 1977 chart-topper Never Mind The b****cks is at 29, while a new Capitol/EMI Beach Boys best of, Fifty Big Ones - Greatest Hits, is new at 36 in the week the veteran US band are playing live in the UK. On singles PSY's Island-issued Gangnam Style could make history this weekend as the first Korean-language single to top the UK singles chart. It leads the midweek singles chart at present with a two-place climb and lead of around 5,000 sales over last week's No 1, Hall Of Fame by Epic/Phonogenic's The Script featuring will.i.am. Atlantic act Flo Rida is in the ascendance with I Cry lifting 9-3, while Mercury's Taylor Swift climbs 6-4 with We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together despite its weekly sales being down 8%. Motown/Mercury act Ne-Yo's Let Me Love You (Until You Learn To Love) drops 4-5, while behind Fun at 7 is Ministry of Sound's Example dropping five places with Say Nothing. Syco signings Little Mix fall 7-8 with Wings and Xenomania/RCA's Amelia Lily is down 8-9 with You Bring Me Joy, while RCA act Pink's Blow Me (One Last Kiss) drops 5-10. Ministry of Sound act DJ Fresh appears as a new entry at 11 with The Feeling featuring Ravaughn, while RCA signing Paloma Faith's Never Tear Us Apart is new at 13. The latest series of The X Factor has its biggest impact on the singles market yet this week, including Atlantic act Jason Mraz's I Won't Give Up climbing 110-21 and Fray's RCA-handled 2005 hit How To Dave A Life up 71-22 in the midweeks after both featuring in the ITV1 programme.

The newly-issued Gentlemen Of The Road/Island title had sold nearly 123,000 copies since the beginning of the week by the end of trading on Thursday, according to the Official Charts Company.

Virgin artist Emeli Sande's Our Version Of Events started with 113,319 sales two weeks after that. With the chance to accumulate more sales on Friday and Saturday, Mumford & Sons' album has every chance of topping 150,000 sales first week on its way to giving the band their first UK chart-topper. Debut album Sigh No More peaked at 2. Babel is also shaping up to achieve the highest week-one sales in the US this year with estimates putting its initial sales at upwards of 600,000 copies. Trailing Mumford & Sons in second place by around 90,000 sales in the UK is the new Green Day Reprise/Warner Bros album Uno, while RCA act Pink's The Truth About Love falls 3-2 in the week to date and Vertigo/Mercury signings The Killers are at 4 having deuted at 1 last Sunday with Battle Born. Britain's Got Talent 2012 runners-up Jonathan & Charlotte's Syco debut Together is new at 5 in the latest Sales Flashes, while Deadmau5's newly-issued Mau5trap/Parlophone album Album Title Goes Here appears at 7. Island act Psy's Gangam Style is moving ahead in its quest to become the first ever Korean-language track to top the UK singles chart. Up to the end of Thursday it was around 14,000 sales ahead of Epic/Phonogenic act The Script featuring will.i.am's Hall Of Fame, which secured a second week at No 1 last Sunday. Atlantic act Flo Rida's I Cry climbs 9-3, Ne-Yo's Motown/Mercury single Let Me Love You (Until You Learn To Love) holds at 4 and Taylor Swift's Mercury track We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together rises 6-5.

September 24, 201213 yr Author Don't like the sound of that. :no: "edited" Really? Already? Where have you been for the past few weeks, I've been dropping the thread topic around this time for ages. It just gives members to post their predictions or whatever, when most of the community are at school/college, or working, during the day. Why no Alyssa Reid in the new releases for singles? :kink: Not showing on iTunes top 100 :( I only picked a few tracks that are most likely to chart top 40, sorry.
September 24, 201213 yr Not showing on iTunes top 100 :( I only picked a few tracks that are most likely to chart top 40, sorry. Haha, 'tis fine! I didn't expect it to chart TBH, but I saw it cracked the top 100 on TV airplay this week. :o
September 25, 201213 yr Author Looks like the Kylie single won't chart its eligible, the same situation as Madonna's single. And not sure if the Rihanna single is dropping tomorrow.
September 25, 201213 yr Ill be dissappointed if theres less than 90k for M&Ss, would love I Will Wait top hit the top 10!!
September 25, 201213 yr Author hmmm... naoise @naoise_ Gangnam Style is #1 in the midweeks!https://twitter.com/naoise Storm Yee-Chong @stormyeechong It saddens me that in the midweeks No Doubt have sold less than 4000 copies of their new album :( https://twitter.com/i/#!/search/midweeks
September 25, 201213 yr Looks like the Kylie single won't chart its eligible, the same situation as Madonna's single. Slightly confusing sentence above - is Kylie's single eligible or not? I don't see why it wouldn't be eligible - I checked iTunes & it's there for 99p... :unsure:
September 25, 201213 yr Looks like opening sales for Mumford & Sons is good :w00t: Scott Colothan@scottcolothan Gangnam Style is number one on the midweeks! Mumford & Sons look as though they're on for the fastest selling album of the year too
September 25, 201213 yr Slightly confusing sentence above - is Kylie's single eligible or not? I don't see why it wouldn't be eligible - I checked iTunes & it's there for 99p... :unsure: It's available from an album which is currently only a pre-order. It's the same situation as 'Paradise' and 'Give Me All Your Luvin''.
September 25, 201213 yr Wow happy days - that means M&Ss are set to out do Emeli Sandes sales in Feb - what were they again - 120k? Edited September 25, 201213 yr by steve201
September 25, 201213 yr Author Looks like opening sales for Mumford & Sons is good :w00t: Love to know their opening first day sales, must be doing better than the Killers
September 25, 201213 yr It's available from an album which is currently only a pre-order. It's the same situation as 'Paradise' and 'Give Me All Your Luvin''. Sorry, I must be missing something here? :unsure: It's hardly unusual for a single to be available while you can only pre-order the parent album - e.g. Taylor Swift-WANEGBT, and 'Red'...
September 25, 201213 yr Sorry, I must be missing something here? :unsure: It's hardly unusual for a single to be available while you can only pre-order the parent album - e.g. Taylor Swift-WANEGBT, and 'Red'... As in, it's a "free" inclusion when you pre-order the album.
September 25, 201213 yr Kylie;s management team just seem a complete waste, they have messed up about 4 singles now, why can they not just do a normal release and a phyisical cd, it is what has always worked in the past so why fix it if it is not broken. Kylie can still manage a relatively decent selling single but it is looking like they dont it too happen.
