I'm so angry right now. I wanted the Deluxe Edition of Dido's album, so went to Tesco where they're only selling the Standard version, phoned Asda who are doing the same, and then went all the way to HMV in Birmingham to learn they hadn't received any and are hoping to get some tomorrow!

Amazon is your friend :P

No, when there's an album out, I always prefer to buy it myself in person. I'm very picky lol. Anyway, that's not the point, it should have been in there, every other new album was there. That's a day of sales gone now in Birmingham.

The good news is that all 3 big releases this week (Phonics, Dido & Bastille) are being stocked by Tesco, which is good I was a little worried about the Phonics not being stocked as Tesco for some reason didn't stock Keane's Strangeland last year until the week after it went to Number 1.

Laura Mvula: #14 on Amazon

Stereophonics: #8/18 on Amazon, #7/10 on Play

 

Looks like Bastille will definitely be number one, Dido and Stereophonics will be fighting for #2 but both still Top 3, Laura Mvula #5/6/7. Hopefully some high album sales in the Top 10!

The 1975's EP is 5 tracks, so it should be counted as an album right?

 

Wow at Dido making the top 3 on iTunes :o

 

O lawd, a new Brian McFadden album.

David Bowie will most certainly be number one this week, I'll be surprised if it doesn't sell over 100k with the massive pre-orders it has had (number one for pretty much a week back when Where Are We Now? was released). Bon Jovi will most likely be #2 with sales over 50k, leaving Bastille at #3 and probably Emeli Sande at #4. Sound City and Hurts will be fighting for Top 10 placings.

David Bowie will most certainly take the top position and Bon Jovi will follow suit at number 2, both should achieve great sales.

David Bowie is #1 on iTunes for UK, France, Germany, Austria, New Zealand, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden and Switzerland.

David Bowie is probably guaranteed to sell over 80k plus this week, I'll be very surprised if sells anything lower than 50k for the week.
