October 31, 201213 yr if matt is number 7 then i can't see him staying in top 10 plus he is dropping on itunes big time - shame because its a good album & why was'nt he on xfactor last week to help his sales!
October 31, 201213 yr It is possible that everyone's forgotten to mention Neil Young. He's been top of Amazon CDs all week and so I expect the album Psychedelic Pill could be vying for a Top 10 spot. Let's see later today.
October 31, 201213 yr Peter Andre has surprised me as i thought this would miss the top 40, so been as high as number 12 is good for him, he will fall rapidly next week i would suspect. Unfortunatly i agree about Matt Cardle, number 7 is dangerous as i also think he could drop out of the top 10, i was looking forward to him been on x factor too but was he ever really meant to on or was it just a rumour,also i would wonder did he decline as he seems to want to move away from the show. Neil Young as he is mentioned will go top 10, he usually does, this weeks top 10 will be full of new entries.
October 31, 201213 yr Matt Cardle's doing a few signings this week, so it might help him out to be stable, but I think it'll drop like a rock next week. Amazon is also doing a special deal where you can get it digitally for £3.99: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009NAE...rd_i=1975643031 Edited October 31, 201213 yr by tommie
October 31, 201213 yr Author Midweek Charts: Robbie set for first singles No.1 since 2004 Source: MW by Paul Willams Robbie Williams is on course to top the UK singles chart for the first time in eight years following his performance on The X Factor. Candy, his first single on Island since a switch from EMI, had sold more than 70,000 copies this week by the end of business on Tuesday, according to the Official Charts Company, giving it a 69% sales lead over the rest of the market. Williams last led the singles countdown in October 2004 with Radio, his sixth solo No 1, and Candy's strong start follows him performing the song on The X Factor results show last Sunday. If it does debut at the top this weekend as expected it will be the second No 1 in a row to have been performed the previous week on the ITV1 programme with Syco act Labrinth lifting to 1 last weekend with Beneath Your Beautiful. Labrinth is now down to 2 on the midweeks. The week before Calvin Harris debuted at 1 with Sweet Nothing alongside Florence Welch and he is now in a close battle for artist albums chart honours. His third Columbia album 18 Months is around 2,500 sales ahead of fellow new release, Parlophone act Kylie Minogue's The Abbey Road Sessions. Harris topped the chart for the first time with his second album Ready For The Weekend in 2009. Virgin act Emeli Sande drops 2-3 with Our Version Of Events at this stage in the week, while sales of Atlantic/Fueled By Ramen signings Fun's album Some Nights have risen five-fold following their performance on The X Factor. As a result the album lifts 33-4 on Sales Flashes, while on the singles listings We Are Young featuring Janelle Monae rises 52-11 as the album's title track lifts 38-20. Having given her a first UK No 1 last Sunday, Red by Mercury's Taylor Swift now drops to 5, while below it are three brand new albums. Oui Oui Si Si Ja Ja Da Da, Madness's first on Cooking Vinyl, is at 6, one place below where their last studio set, The Liberty Of Norton Folgate, peaked in 2009, while Matt Cardle's second album The Fire and first on the So What label via Silver Screen is 7. Letters, his last album and only one through Sony's Columbia, debuted at 2 last year. Neil Young is challenging for a first UK Top 10 album since 2000 with what is his first album of new material with Crazy Horse since 2003's Greendale. The Warner Bros-issued Psychedelic Pill registers in the week to date as a new entry at 8, while Genttlemen Of The Road/Island's Mumford & Sons drops 5-9 with Babel and Mick Hucknall's second solo album American Soul via Rhino/Warner's ATCO is new at 10. Sales of Muse's Helium 3/Warner Bros album The 2nd Law increase 42% following tour dates and an appearance last Saturday on Jonathan Ross's ITV1 chat show, although it drops 8-12 in the midweeks. Below it, brand new albums registering include new sets from Snapper Music's Peter Andre, Mascot's Black Country Communion, DMG TV's The Soldiers, Epitaph's Parkway Drive, Thomas Newman's Sony Classical-issued Skyfall soundtrack and a new Blix Street Eva Cassidy retrospective. Having scored his biggest UK hit single to date with Heatwave, Wiley is set for another UK top five hit with the One More Tune/Warner Bros-issued Can You Hear Me (Ayayaya) aso featuring Skepta, JME and Ms D new at 3 on Sales Flashes. The Virgin single Don't You Worry Child by Swedish House Mafia featuring John Martin drops 2-4, XL's Adele climbs back up 7-5 with Skyfall as the movie impacts and Columbia's Calvin Harris drops 3-6 with Sweet Nothing featuring Florence Welch. Island act PSY's Gangnam Style falls 5-7 at this stage in the week as Def Jam/Mercury's Rihanna slips 4-8 with Diamonds, A&M/Octone/Poldyor's Maroon 5 lose a place to 9 with One More Night and Mercury's Taylor Swift drops a notch to 10 with We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. Outside the Top 10 positions, there are big sales increases for Decca's The Lumineers with Ho Hey (up 47% to rise 23-14), RCA's Paloma Faith with Never Tear Us Apart (up 95% to climb 29-16) and Universal Republic/Island's Of Monsters And Men with Little Talks (up 119% to rise 33-26).

October 31, 201213 yr Again i would have to unfortunatly agree about Matt dropping like a stone next week. I would be extremely delighted if it doesnt happen, but if the single doesnt kick of he will have nothing left to promote the album, i would be happy if this album could eventually manage 100,000 sales, anything more would be excellent.
October 31, 201213 yr 1 Calvin Harris 2 Kylie 3 Emeli Sande 4 fun. 5 Taylor Swift 6-10 6 Madness 7 matt Cardle 8 Neil Young & Crazy Horse 10 Mick Hucknall My predictions were a bit far off then! :P I presume it is either Jake Bugg or Mumford and Sons at #9? I hope it's the former, but I think the latter has a better chance. Edited October 31, 201213 yr by liamk97

October 31, 201213 yr Love when radio 1 have to play a chart no1 which never gets played on their station - how embarressing!!
October 31, 201213 yr Dappy at #39 :lol: Ouch at Lawson #17 and Leona #22 :lol: Edited October 31, 201213 yr by LeeWallaceee
October 31, 201213 yr Oops at Dappy! :lol: Considering he said he'd be devastated if he didn't get to #1 with the album, I wonder how just 1 week in the Top 40 will sit with him?
October 31, 201213 yr Author All the new album releases have push most of the old albums down, they probably stabilise at the end of the week. I count 12 new albums inside the top 40., no Tyler James, must be just outside the top 40.
October 31, 201213 yr Love when radio 1 have to play a chart no1 which never gets played on their station - how embarressing!! I bet they weren't pleased at a certain seven-week #2, either... :P
October 31, 201213 yr 21 down to #33, that will be the lowest its been since it was released. Wonder if it'll stay top 40 during the busy Christmas period...
October 31, 201213 yr Love when radio 1 have to play a chart no1 which never gets played on their station - how embarressing!! I really doubt they care. 73k is brilliant for Robbie - SHM were 72k on their Wednesday update, I'd expect Robbie to be a bit more frontloaded but he will easily clear 120k and he's on Graham Norton on Friday which could push him over 130k :D So glad to see Robbie smashing again, hopefully 'Take The Crown' will clear 200k next week. Calvin pulling ahead of Kylie nicely, should be a comfortable second #1 album for him then and hopefully with a bit more longevity than 'Ready For The Weekend' (forgot how bad a chart run that had - 1-3-7-19-36 and then out of the top 40 never to return :o 26 weeks top 100 though which was alright). Yay at 'Babel' remaining top 10 despite 5 new entries and a resurging fun. ahead of it, also 'Sigh No More' remaining top 40 with 12 new entries ahead of it. '21' down to #33 with all the new entries, hope it can climb back to the top 30 at least :drama: Looks unlikely to last the rest of the year in the top 40 unless it gets another major boost from somewhere, 'Skyfall' doesn't seem to be helping it that much. Back in the top 5 itself though :D And it did get the highest sales at #7 of the year so far last week so not doing too badly at all, think it's done a lot better than its chart run so far suggests. And finally HA at 'Red' falling all the way to #5. Edited October 31, 201213 yr by Bré
October 31, 201213 yr Love when radio 1 have to play a chart no1 which never gets played on their station - how embarressing!! You never know, they might be forced to add it to the C-list today like they did with Amelia Lily when they realised it was gonna be a hit!
