I just think Diamonds might slow down now and start selling better on Friday/Saturday. Could be close to 100k, I predict 95k.

 

Which would be awesome for Rihanna imo, but really expected 1D to sell 150k.

 

Just my thoughts of course

One Direction has a physical CD with posters in it.

Oh yeah, I completely overlooked the fact that 1D have physicals! Maybe they won't do as badly as I thought then.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm off to buy my copy NOW! :w00t:

Sorry but i would have thought the physical CD sales where included in that figure.

 

If that figure is true, Rhianna will get the number 1 unless One Direction pull something out the back. A 6k lead is nothing especially since she's been beating them on iTunes for days and thats where most single sales come from.

 

It's quite sweet knowing One Direction will not be number 1! :w00t: although i admit the songs very good.

Just the one poster, which is a fold out of the whole sleeve.

unless I'm missing the point I think Doctor Blind was having a joke with us, note the source joke!

Album chart midweeks: Muse set to top the album charts on Sunday with new entry The 2nd Law. 2nd highest new entry is The Overtones at No.6

6k lead for One Direction is nothing considering they had huge pre-orders, theyre screwed.

Rihanna surprisingly close to OneDirection, I thought their pre-orders and Physical sales would be enough to give them a confortable lead and finish the week with a 10k+ lead. Guess Rihannas gonna "surprise" and walk this!

Give One Dire 7000 physicals, for the week. Consider toneless Fenty's 1500 ahead on iTunes each day mon-sat. Then you you've got her finishing up over 2000 ahead, by Saturday.

I'm not too fussed on this chart battle. Both songs are unremarkable imo, I'm sure Rihanna has it now though which would be slightly amusing. Oh and I'm pretty sure that you've all just fell for a joke, unless Lea & Perrins have more association with the midweeks than we think? :o

 

Good to hear about Muse (Did people REALLY think they'd struggle to get number 1?!) they probably won't manage to match Mumfords' total this week, but I'm hopeful for over 120k.

So Rihanna will walk it, 1D might just about scrape 100k but I doubt it now.

Good to see 1D wont have a second number 1 now. So much for the breaking all preorder records nonsense

LOL!!! 6K only??? she's double from them in the ITUNES and she is gonna be number 1 tomorrow... that's the end of them :)

How much Muse is far ahead? M&S have a lot of promo this week, I'm scared :(

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

lol

One Direction's CD is not even #1 on HMV, Zavvi or Play.com LMAO!!!! :lol:

Anyone knows what's the gap between Muse and M&S?

Why would Rihanna be only 1.5k ahead per day? One Direction are now down to 55% of her on iTunes and rapidly decreasing, they could even drop behind Ellie soon at the rate they're going. Fully expecting Rihanna to close the 6k gap by tomorrow assuming there actually is a 6k gap and that's just just something Doctor Blind made up.

 

Good to see Muse are still headed for #1 on the albums despite the speculation Mumford & Sons could hold them off. I should think Mumford & Sons will overtake them next week and be #2 again behind Ellie. 'The 2nd Law' will be their 4th #1 after 'Absolution', 'Black Holes And Revelations' and 'The Resistance', it feels like they should have more than that - difficult to imagine a time where they're not semi-guaranteed #1 with every new studio album release :P

Rihanna is selling 45% more than 1D now..... That means that if Rihanna is selling 18K per day 1D are selling just below 10K.... Which means their difference will be gone in a day
