October 1, 201213 yr Author Midweek Charts: One Direction and Rihanna in tight race for No 1 Source: MW Paul Willams One Direction and Rihanna are neck and neck to top the UK singles countdown this weekend as Muse head for their fourth artist albums chart-topper. By the end of Tuesday just 246 sales separated Syco act One Direction's Live While We're Young and Def Jam/Mercury's Rihanna with Diamonds, according to Official Charts Company data, with the boy band in front. Last Sunday's chart-topper Gangnam Style by Island's PSY sits third. The One Direction and Rihanna tarcks have already both topped 50,000 sales in their opening weeks and look like reaching 100,000 units by the time the final chart is published on Sunday. A six-figure first-week total also appears to be on the cards for Muse's new Helium 3/Warner Bros album The 2nd Law, which was already near 70,000 sales up to the close of play on Tuesday. Last Sunday's artist albums No 1, Babel by Gentlemen Of The Road/Island's Mumford & Sons, opened with 158,936 sales, giving it the highest first-week tally of the year for an artist album. The Mumford album is now down to 2 in the midweeks with sales dropping 66%, while RCA act Pink's The Truth About Love holds at 3, Vertigo/Mercury signings The Killers continue at 4 with Battle Born and Syco act Jonathan & Charlotte's Together remains 5. Higher, the second album by Warner Music Entertainment's Overtones, appears as a new entry at six in the week so far, while Virgin act Emeli Sande's Our Version Of Events continues at 7, Reprise/Warner Bros's Green Day drop 2-8 with Uo, Epic/Phonogenic's The Script slip 6-9 with #3 and Young Turks/XL's The xx are down 8-10 with Coexist. Outside the Top 10 there are 11 brand new albums registering in the midweek Top 40, lead by Van Morrison's new Blue Note/Parlophone set Born To Sing - No Plan B in 11th position. Ministry of Sound act DJ Fresh's third album Nextlevlism will give him his first ever UK albums chart entry this Sunday as it is currently 12 on Sales Flashes, while Changing Tune, UK rock band Lower Than Atlantis's first album for Island and third overall, is new at 14. Other acts set to debut in or around the Top 40 on Sunday are EMI Classics' John Wilson Orchestra, Bullet For My Valentine singer Matthew Tuck's new side project Axewound via Search and Destroy/Columbia, Beth Orton with her first album on Anti, Deutsche Grammophon's Tori Amos, ELO with a Sony retrospective, Papa Roach on their Eleven Seven label, Warp's Flying Lotus and Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess on the O Genesis label. Back on singles and Polydor act Ellie Goulding's brand new track Anything Could Happen should join One Direction and Rihanna's new hits in the top five this weekend. Goulding currently ranks as a new enry at 4, safely ahead of Epic/Phonogenic's The Script with Hall Of Fame featuring will.i.am. This drops 2-5 as Atlantic act Jason Mraz's I Won't GIve Up is heading for a new chart peak. Having originally reached No 13 earlier this year, it now rallies 23-6 on the midweeks after being performed last Saturday by X Factor contestant Ella Henderson. Fellow Atlantic act Flo Rida's I Cry drops 3-7 and Parlophone's Conor Maynard gains 9-8 with Turn Around featuring Ne-Yo, while Mercury act Taylor Swift falls 4-9 with We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together and the Positiva/Virgin-issued She Wolf (Falling To Pieces) by David Guetta featuring Sia drops 8-10.

October 1, 201213 yr Author Midweek Charts update: Rihanna overtakes One Direction Source: MW by Paul Willams Rihanna has leapt above One Direction in her quest for a sixth UK No 1 single in her own right. Having been a few thousand sales behind at the beginning of the week, the Barbadian's newly-issued Def Jam/Mercury track Diamonds is now around 5,000 copies ahead of Syco act One Direction's own brand new single Live While We're Young, according to the Official Charts Company. If Diamonds does make it to No 1 this Sunday, it will be Rihanna's sixth UK chart-topper as the main artist, having first reached the summit in 2007 with Umbrella featuring Jay-Z and most recently last year with We Found Loe featuring Calvin Harris. She also topped the chart in 2009 as part of Jay-Z's Run This Town with Kanye West. Polydor act Ellie Goulding's new single Anything That Could Happen should also join Diamonds and Live While We're Young in the top five this Sunday. It currenly registers as a new entry at 4, significantly behind third-placed Island act PSY whose Gangnam Style climbed to No 1 last Sunday. The Script's Epic/Phonogenic-issued Hall Of Fame featuring will.i.am completes the current midweek top five, while Atlantic act Jason Mraz's I Won't Give Up is on course to crack the UK Top 10 for the first time after being covered on The X Factor. Muse are heading for a six-figure opening tally for their newly-issued Helium 3/Warner Bros album The 2nd Law, which leads the artist albums market in the week to date by around 80%. Gentlemen Of The Road/Island act Mumford & Sons' second album Babel is down to 2 after debuting at 1 last weekend with the year's highest opening artist sales, while RCA signing Pink's The Truth About Love, Vertigo/Mercury The Killers with Batle Born and Jonathan & Charlotte's Syco debut Together on midweek sales keep their positions of 3, 4 and 5 respectively achieved last Sunday. Warner Music Entertainment's Overtones register as a new entry at 7 with Higher, while Van Morrison new Blue Note/Parlophone set Born To Sing - No Plan B is just outside the Top 10 at 11.

October 1, 201213 yr YAY for Cody being on the list of new albums, hoping he can scrape top 40. would be a real achievement with no promotion over here. Top 100 is more likely though, especially considering only Amazon is selling physicals of it...
October 2, 201213 yr I'm very interested in DJ Fresh's opening. Muse will probably be #1 Why is Va Va Voom doing so well? Is it a new single? Somehow I've missed the info if so Edited October 2, 201213 yr by SKOB
October 2, 201213 yr Tori Amos will clearly challenge the Oasis record for sales in week 1. Other than that I can see it limping to #91 with sales of 250 copies.
October 2, 201213 yr Author Muse will probably be #1 I'm not so sure about Muse now, Mumford & Sons are performing on Jools Holland show tonight and Friday.
October 2, 201213 yr Hmm interesting. But I believe M&S will still probably suffer a 50% decline which would mean ~80k. Muse have a large and dedicated fanbase who will buy the physical product right out of the gate. Top 2 will have brilliant sales anyway. Edited October 2, 201213 yr by SKOB
October 2, 201213 yr I think Rihanna should move 120K-130K this week. I cannot see Adele selling on a path of +450K a week... (65K per day) to top that in jusr 2 days of sales. I may be proven wrong... but I think its too much
October 2, 201213 yr I'm not so sure about Muse now, Mumford & Sons are performing on Jools Holland show tonight and Friday. Muse will be number 1, definite. I think obviously One Direction in the singles, though their lead won't be as big as I'd thought it may be (thankfully).
October 2, 201213 yr There's such big hype about the Adele record that I actually think it's possible she'll be #1 on Sunday if released on Friday... stranger things have happened. And 1D could be as low as #4 but with continued promotion throughout the week should just about manage to hold Top 3. I'm gonna stick my neck out and predict: 1 Adele 2 Rihanna 3 One Direction 4 Psy 5 Ellie Goulding Or Adele and Rihanna might be the other way round. Whatever happens it's gonna be an exciting chart on Sunday :D Edited October 2, 201213 yr by mango7

Whatever happens it's gonna be an exciting chart on Sunday :D ! :o There is no way that Adele will sell 100K in just 48 hours - even "Born This Way" didn't manage that and had to settle for #3. I think #4 or #5 is the best she can hope for, and that's being massively optimistic frankly.
October 2, 201213 yr Clearly people will see that Muse "Supremacy" is the real bond theme and not the Adele snoozefest. So this will be cherry picked from Itunes and be #1.
October 2, 201213 yr Muse at #1 with a MASSIVE lead apparently. Egg and Mikey's face... are in alignment :lol: In the singles: #1 One Direction in the lead at #1 with (47 000) #2 Rihanna (41 000) #3 Psy #4 Ellie Goulding Source: Lea and Perrins. Edited October 2, 201213 yr by Doctor Blind

October 2, 201213 yr So the gap between Rihanna and 1D is 6K????? mmmm I think Rihanna could be #1 as soon as Tomorrow...
October 2, 201213 yr So there's a chance that none of the new singles will sell 100k? Rihanna could be close though.
October 2, 201213 yr So there's a chance that none of the new singles will sell 100k? Rihanna could be close though. and how is that? 41K in 2 days means that its selling on a 140K path. No way it will sell as much.... but I think 120K should be
