October 4, 201213 yr She could well sell upwards of 90-110k for the next few weeks. Lets hope she doesnt mess up the video release now and wait until the song declines - next week or the following week would be perfect. Dont know what happened to 1D, i thought the early release would have meant it would have sold better and hung around but they seem to have just done the same if not worse than a massively held back release - maybe the song is simply poor?! I see 1 Xtra have playlisted the new Rudimental single and it features John Newman again with Alex Clare!! Edited October 4, 201213 yr by steve201
October 4, 201213 yr 1D chose the wrong week to release their new single.... Otherwise it would've been a dead cert number 1..... To be honest it's just a What Makes You Beautiful part 2. Nothing new from them, just a boring song.
October 5, 201213 yr 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 5, 201213 yr The Script are 5 and 7? Don't care for them, haven't heard the songs, but thats impressive.
October 5, 201213 yr @MattAATW ...well no I-tunes data in today's midweeks means we'll all have to wait until Sunday to find out!
October 5, 201213 yr Sigh, I can't post these things without making one mistake at least, lol. The Script aren't #7, let me edit. :) #7 is Jason Mraz. ^_^
October 5, 201213 yr Jay, you've also put the wrong Adele song at #33 :kink: @MattAATW Surely the addition of iTunes data will only help Rihanna, anyway?
October 5, 201213 yr Jay, you've also put the wrong Adele song at #33 :kink: :cry: *Hopeless chart mod* :lol:

October 5, 201213 yr iTunes data is missing. A rather significant omission! :P It also means that RiRi's lead will be well above the 5k stated in the narrative - perhaps more like 10k? Edited October 5, 201213 yr by vidcapper
October 5, 201213 yr Does anyone know if Call Me Maybe & Play Hard are top 40 in today's update please?
October 5, 201213 yr Play Hard is not top 40. Call Me Maybe is still in - the highest prime number under 40 :P
October 6, 201213 yr Play Hard is not top 40. Call Me Maybe is still in - the highest prime number under 40 :P #37!!!
