October 8, 201213 yr Author Midweek Charts: Swedes to deny Bond girl Adele Source: MW by Paul Williams Swedish House Mafia's farewell single looks set to deny Adele's James Bond theme climbing to No 1 on the UK singles chart. Adele's XL single debuted at No 4 last Sunday on just two days' sales and has got off to a strong start in this new chart week, having sold more than 50,000 copies by the end of business on Tuesday, according to the Official Charts Company. However, that is only good enough to move it up to 2 with Swedish House Mafia's brand new Virgin track Don't You Worry Child featuring John Martin currently more than 20,000 sales ahead. The Swedes, who announced in June they would be taking a hiatus after their tour, have previously hit a high of 4 on the UK singles chart, firstly with Miama 2 Ibiza with Tinie Tempah in 2010 and then with Antidote with Knife Party the following year. The top end of the artist albums chart is much closer at this stage with little more than 2,000 sales separating Ellie Goulding in first place and Mumford & Sons in runners-up spot. Goudling's appearance at 1 in the latest midweeks with her newly-issued second Polydor set Halcyon follows a performance on Jonathan Ross's ITV1 show last Saturday, while Mumford's Gentlemen Of The Road/Island set Babel holds its position of 2 achieved on last Sunday's chart. Muse's Helium 3/Warner Bros album The 2nd Law drops 1-3. Following a night dedicated to Jeff Lynne/ELO on BBC Four last Friday, three related albums are currently among the Top 10 sellers. They are led by the Frontiers label release Long Wave, a newly-issued solo album of covers by Jeff Lynne, which is new at 5 on Sales Flashes. Another new Frontiers album, Mr Blue Sky - The Very Best Of, which goes under the ELO name and includes new versions by Lynne of some of the band's tracks, arrives at 9, while the RCA-handled All Around The World - The Very Best Of holds its position of 10 achieved last Sunday. This album contains original versions of the band's hits. In a strong week for guitar and rock music, Australian act Tame Impala are new at 11 with the Modular album Lonerism, while veteran US rock band Kiss's UMC/Universal set Monster, their first album in three years, is new at 12 at this stage of the week. Completing the Top 10 at this point of the week are RCA act Pink's The Truth About Love falling 3-6, Emeli Sande's Virgin debut Our Version Of Events dropping 5-7 and The Killers' Vertigo/Mercury set Battle Born slipping 4-8. Mika's third Island album The Origin Of Love is new at 15 on the current midweeks and Barbra Streisand's Columbia-issued Release Me is at 18. Other new albums set to debut in or around the Top 40 this coming Sunday include new albums from V2's Coheed & Cambria, Atlantic's Dog Is Dead, Lemar via the AMP label and Provogue's Beth Hart. Back on the singles chart and below Swedish House Mafia and Adele is Rihanna whose Def Jam/Mercury title Diamonds slips to 3 having debuted at 1 last weekend. Island act PSY's Gangnam Style drops 2-4 and Leona Lewis is heading for her eighth UK Top 10 single with the Syco-issued Trouble with Childish Gambino new at 5. Ellie Goulding's Anything Could Happen drops 5-6 and Syco act One Direction's Live While We're Young 3-7, while The Script's Epic/Phonogenic track Hall Of Fame featuring will.i.am. drops 6-8. Following an appearance on Jonathan Ross last weekend, Mercury's Taylor Swift progresses 10-9 with We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, while Atlantic's Flo Rida slips 7-10 with I Cry. Among the singles market's big sales gainers is A&M/Octone/Polydor act Maroon 5's One More Night, which currently leads the Billboard Hot 100. Its UK sales this week are up 222% and as a consequence it climbs 64-26 in the midweeks. Meanwhile, Faith Hill 2001 Warner Bros single There You'll Be is back in at 36 ater being performed on The X Factor last Saturday by contestant Carolynne Poole. =================================================== Wednesday Update Top 40 Only Source: Radio 1/OCC Top 40 Singles 1 Swedish House Mafia/John Martin (72k) 2 Adele (50k) 3 Rihanna 4 PSY 5 Leona Lewis 6-10 9 Taylor Swift [We Are Never...] 11-20 14 Otto Knows 21-30 22 Sam & The Womp 24 Nicki Minaj 26 Maroon 5 [OMN] 27 Florence + The Machine 28 Kanye West/Jay Z 31-40 32 Rudimental/John Newman 36 Faith Hill 37 Nicki Minaj [starships] 39 Disclosure/Sam Smith http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/update/singles/print http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/e...r-1-album-1636/ =================================================== Top 40 Albums 1 Ellie Goulding (2k ahead) 2 Mumford & Sons 3 Muse 4 All Time Low 5 Jeff Lynne 6-10 9 ELO [Mr Blue Sky] 11-20 11 Tame Impala 12 Kiss 15 Mika 18 Barbra Streisand 21-30 26 Maroon 5 29 Coheed & Cambria 30 Ronan Keating 31-40 34 Dog Is Dead 35 Russell Watson 36 Conor Maynard 39 Lemar http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/update/albums/print http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/e...r-1-album-1636/
October 8, 201213 yr Author Midweek Charts update: Mumford vying for UK chart-topping return Source: MW by Paul Willams Mumford & Sons look like returning to the top of the UK artist albums chart this weekend after overturning an early sales lead by Ellie Goulding. The Gentlemen Of The Road/Island band's Babel, which secured a second consecutive week at the top of the Billboard 200 chart in the US this week, lost their chart-topping status in the UK last Sunday after just seven days to Muse. It then stood behind Polydor act Ellie Goudling's newly-issued album Halcyon at the beginning of this week, accoding to the Official Charts Company. However, Goulding's album has now dropped to 2 in the midweeks and Babel has narrowly moved ahead of it with Muse's Helium 3/Warner Bros album The 2nd Law placed 3rd. Pink's RCA set The Truth About Love falls 3-4, while there are three other new entries among the Top 10 titles, two by Jeff Lynne. His brand new solo set Long Wave is new at 5, while the ELO-billed Mr Blue Sky - The Very Best Of, which features new versions by him of some of the group's most famous songs, is new at 7. Both albums are released by the Frontiers label. The other new entry is US band All Time Low with the Hopeless-issued Don't Panic at 7. Swedish House Mafia's brand new Virgin single Don't You Worry Child featuring John Martin is on course to achieve one of the highest first-week sales of the year having already surpassed 100,000 sales with two days of trading still to go. It leaves in its wake XL act Adele's Bond theme Skyfall, which on midweek sales has to settle for a two-place climb to 2. Having debuted at No 1 last Sunday, Def Jam/Mercury Rihanna falls to 3 with Diamonds, while Island act PSY's Gangnam Style drops 2-4 and Ellie Goulding's Anything Could Happen holds at 5. Syco act Leona Lewis's brand new single Trouble with Childish Gambino presently registers as a new entry at 6. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Friday Update Top 40 Only Singles 1 Swedish House Mafia/John Martin 2 Adele 3 Rihanna 4 PSY 5 Ellie Goulding Top 10 6 Leona Lewis/Childish Gambino Top 15 Top 20 Top 30 Top 40 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Albums 1 Mumford & Sons 2 Ellie Goulding 3 Muse 4 P!nk 5 Jeff Lynne Top 10 ELO [Mr Blue Sky] All Time Low Top 15 Top 20 Top 30 Top 40 NO SALES INFO ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ARTIST UPDATES Singles Albums
October 9, 201213 yr Author Looks like a close one in the singles chart this week, Swedish House Mafia versus Adele, and a battle between Muse, Mumford & Sons and Ellie Goulding in the albums for the #1 spot.
October 9, 201213 yr Babel for no1 again!! Not actually many massive albums out now until Robbie Williams and the X Factor ones in November now - maybe Taylor Swift will sell well?
October 9, 201213 yr Wonder if Leona can actually go top 10/20. I was so sure she'd flop with this. Of course she'll go top 10/20 - its almost pretty certain now she'll go top 10 given she's #6 on iTunes, she should be top 10 on iTunes until later on in the week and will probably reenter if she drops out due to the Alan Carr promo on Friday night/
October 9, 201213 yr The lovely Ellie for #1 album, easily! :wub: I imagine she'll be #1 today but who knows if she'll hold up :( When do we usually get mids on a Tuesday? I'm not usually around to watch this thread as it happens. Edited October 9, 201213 yr by Umi
October 9, 201213 yr If it's either Ellie or Muse I'd imagine Skrillex will be rather pleased. Can't see him being a Mumfords fan.
October 9, 201213 yr I imagine she'll be #1 today but who knows if she'll hold up :( When do we usually get mids on a Tuesday? I'm not usually around to watch this thread as it happens. See the first post. We don't get a full set of mids on a Tuesday any more :( but we do usually pick up a few scraps of information.
October 9, 201213 yr Can Ellie's album really sell over 60k which I presume is needed for #1 spot? We'll see Edited October 9, 201213 yr by SKOB
October 9, 201213 yr Is this Swedish House Mafia's last release before they split? I think they're calling it a 'hiatus'...
October 9, 201213 yr Probably Walk The Moon. Shame though. :( Why couldn't Muse or M&S be ahead of Ellie? Or have I misunderstood something? Walk the Moon have 81k followers on Facebook. Can't be them outselling Muse, M&S and Ellie Goulding. That'd be ridiculous. Edited October 9, 201213 yr by SKOB
October 9, 201213 yr SHM should be number 1 fairly easily now and should break 100k :D I really hope Ellie can make number 1 in the albums as that would make a fantastic hat trick of number 1s there. I can't imagine Walk The Moon would be beating her though? I'd imagine they'll be very front-loaded. (If this is a joke, its gone straight over my head as ever :P ) Edited October 9, 201213 yr by Hoopoe
