If another single is released a little later in the year, then I can could see his album returning to T40 as it is the sort of album which should do well over Christmas.

 

As for Classic Christmas, I can definitely see that returning to the T100, along with Justin Bieber's Under the Mistletoe and, evidently, Michael Buble's Christmas! :P

Run Boy Run! WOT

Pity Natasha isnt getting much airplay for this album - radio 1 plays her songs at night but she cant seem to make the playlist and 6 music seems to be the only other radio station on board with her, she should go top 10 next sunday though!!

Who is Natasha? I can't see through an initial glance through the chart, anyway...

Oh, I initially thought of Natasha Bedingfield! Silly me!

Sorry should have made it more clear there!!

What's with the seemingly random re-entry of Beatles 'Magical Mystery Tour' at #64?

 

There was also a documentary about the making of the film on BBC 2

Huge flop for Mika, it's such a great album too, 10 times better than his last at least. Pleased to see Michel Telo finally go top 75 here but it deserved so much more, it's a defining hit of 2012!

 

I don't think its as strong as his last album. It's still good but a lot of the tracks don't stand out enough. Commercially, he is set to flop.

Shame Lemar only managed 49 as his new material is really good but oh well the music industry changes :lol:

 

Would've been funny if he was #50. 50/50 is a tune! :lol: :D I wouldn't be surprised if this was his last ever album. In which case Fame Academy alumni would all officialy be done (unless Carolynn manages to do something after this year's X Factor.. which I doubt)

You can never assume - remember Alistair Griffin suddenly coming back with a low top 40 hit in 2010 after vanishing for years!

Florence officially has two of the ten longest running albums in the T100 with unbroken T100 chart runs! Extremely impressive considering 'Lungs' was already on 121 weeks before 'Ceremonials' even entered. 'Lungs' should easily hold out for the 1-year anniversary of 'Ceremonials' considering it went up a place last week.

 

Made some educated guesses for a couple of the more inexplicable album chart re-entries. Does anyone have any idea why that UB40 compilation has been hanging around the lower end of the top 100 the last couple of months?

Interesting album cover, too... :)

I checked HMV website and there's a 'buy any 2 for £10' deal on it. That might be the reason lol

I can see Joe McElderry's album sticking around in the lower end of the charts, it would be nice if he could manage 100,000 sales at the least overall, interesting to see if his classic christmas will re enter the chart for christmas.

 

 

If another single is released a little later in the year, then I can could see his album returning to T40 as it is the sort of album which should do well over Christmas.

 

As for Classic Christmas, I can definitely see that returning to the T100, along with Justin Bieber's Under the Mistletoe and, evidently, Michael Buble's Christmas! :P

 

Nice to see the Album going up this week, apparently he is releasing another single/focus track in Nov, 'Rescu Us' re-mixed from the delux download.

It was played on Radio 2 last sunday, Not sure how thats going to work as its not on the main Album, unless there will be a Delux CD.
