Any excuse to buy "Babel", that seems to be more derived from performances than winners which I didn't expect. Pleasing to see Muse that high up though, especially given "Supremacy" is doing shit all in its own right.

1. Babel - Mumford & Sons

2. Every Kingdom - Ben Howard

3. Our Version of Events (Special Edition) - Emeli Sandé

 

Pleasant surprise to see Emeli not only not #1, but not even top 2. Really hoping that Mumford & Sons' download domination translates to physicals as well and they return to #1 this week officially instead of Emeli. I would think physicals will be far more on Emeli's side though :( As for Ben he could possibly be in for a return to the top 10? Don't want to say he'll repeak as I'll only jinx it.

Any pop up bars for the album chart?

Mumford & Sons #1 (deluxe #17) :D

Every Kingdom #2 (deluxe #18) :D

Our Version of Events #3 :D

Channel Orange #8 :D

Mumford & Sons (Debut) #15 :D

 

Smiles all around :lol: Great exposure for Ben & Frank! :dance:

I think this will do for a subtitle: An awesome BRIT event makes Mumford & Sons #1 in this kingdom. References to 5 albums. :D

I can only make out 4 references? ('An Awesome Wave', 'Our Version Of Events', 'Every Kingdom' and obviously Mumford & Sons).

 

And poor Nick Cave being snubbed when he's still (presumably) #1 in the mids :P

Sort of sneak this one - 'BRITs' comes from the 'BRIT Awards 2013' CD in the Top 10. ;)

 

I guess it was inevitable he wasn't going to hold on after the BRITs, but that's such a drop on iTunes! I presume physicals will still be very high, so Top 5 could be quite easy to get come Sunday.

 

EDIT: Or were you referring to him not appearing in the sub-title..?

Atoms For Peace could be #1 at least midweek I reckon (certainly at least top 5), since it should have the Radiohead fanbase behind it. Not sure how strongly Emeli/Mumford/Ben are still selling at this stage though. Palma, Johnny and Josh for possible top 10 entries as well.

Michael Ball may be Top 10 too (or at least Top 20). Currently #4 on Amazon's chart.
