November 12, 201213 yr Author Midweek Charts: 1D album nears 100,000 sales Source: MW Paul Willams One Direction are on course for their first ever UK No 1 album with the newly-issued Take Me Home already nudging 100,000 sales. Although their introductory set Up All Night made history this year by becoming the first debut by a UK band to enter at No 1 on the Billboard 200 in the US, it only peaked at 2 in the UK. However, they are now set to go one place better with their new album by the end of business on Tuesday having outsold its nearest four rivals combined, according to the Official Charts Company. The group, who performed on The X Factor last Saturday, are also making a stong impact on the midweek singles countdown with the brand new track Little Things, although it is currently being outsold by new releases from Bruno Mars and Little Mix. Rod Stewart is providing One Direction's main competition on the artist albums midweeks chart with his first festive set Merry Christmas, Baby presently registering as a new entry at 2, although it is around 65,000 sales behind Take Me Home. The high debut follows him chatting and performing on Graham Norton's BBC 1 show last Friday and if it finishes at 2 by the time the week's full chart is published on Sunday it will be his highest-charting album since When We Were The New Boys reached the same position in 1998. Two other brand new albums are presently right below Stewart's with Polydor's new Rolling Stones best of GRRR at 3 and Reprise/Warner Bros's second 2012 Green Day album DOS at 4. The Stones album, released to mark the band's 50th anniversary, comes 10 years after their last new retrospective Forty Licks reached 2, while DOS follows Uno peaking at 2 for Green Day in September. Having debuted at 1 last Sunday, Robbie Williams' Island debut Take The Crown is down to 5 in the midweeks with sales dropping 68%, while Decca's Andre Rieu & the Johann Straus Orchestra fall 2-6 with Magic Of The Movies and Polydor act Lana Del Rey's Born To Die races 38-7 following the release of the Paradise Edition of the album. Decca's Alfie Boe is seeking a third UK Top 10 album with Storyteller registering as a new entry at 8 in the week so far as Virgn's Emeli Sande dops 6-9 with Our Version Of Events, while Asylum/Atlantic's Ed Sheeran sees sales of + triple over the week following his performance on last Sunday's X Factor results show. As a consequence, the album climbs 32-10 in the midweeks, while Give Me Love - the song he performed - vaults 139-19 on midweek singles. King Animal, Soundgarden's first studio album since 1996's Down On The Upside, is new at 13, while RCA's Christina Aguilera registers at 18 with Lotus and Reprise/Warner's Deftones are new at 19 with Koi No Yokan. Having topped the chart with a best of last year, Steps are set to return to the Top 40 with their first new studio set in a dozen years. Light Up the World, issued on their own Steps Recordings label, is currently new at 22, while other new entries will come this weekend from Universal Republic/Island's Weeknd and Atlantic's The Staves. Bruno Mars is aiming for a fourth UK No 1 single with the new Elektra/Atlantic single Locked Out Of Heaven leading at the moment, although it is only a few thousand sales ahead of Syco act Little Mix's brand new track DNA with One Direction at 3, making the top three sellers all brand new releases. Syco's Labrinth drops 2-4 wth Beneath Your Beautiful featuring Emeli Sande, while the Parlophone-issued The Power Of Love by Gabrielle Alpin rockets 36-5 following its use in a John Lewis TV campaign. After securing a second week at the top last weekend, Robbie Williams' Island single Candy drops to 6 in the midweeks, while Island's McFly are looking for an 18th UK Top 10 single with Love Is Easy currently registering as a new entry at 7. Sales of Gangnam Style by Island's PSY are up 22% on the week after he performed it on Jonathan Ross's ITV1 show, although it drops 6-8 on Sales Flashes, while XL's Adele slips 4-9 with Skyfall and Decca's Lumineers climb 15-10 with Ho Hey. Future Cut/QWorks/Warner Bros's Stooshe are heading for a third hit with their TLC cover Waterfalls new at 14 on the midweeks. Other brand new arrivals include Polydor act Lana Del Rey with Ride and Ministry of Sound's Example with Close Enemies, while Atlantic's Christina Perri leaps 75-24 with A Thousand Years.

November 12, 201213 yr Author Midweek Charts update: One Direction aiming for chart-topping double Source: MW by Paul Willams One Direction are heavily applying the presure on Bruno Mars as they look this weekend to add a No 1 single to their virtually guaranteed UK albums chart-topper. The band's second Syco album Take Me Home has easily surpassed 100,000 sales in its first week at retail with two days of trading to go and it is destined to debut at 1 this coming Sunday. According to Official Charts Company stats, it had sold around 123,000 copies by the end of business on Thursday, more than the collective tallies of albums by Rod Stewart, The Rolling Stones, Andre Rieu and Robbie Williams directly below it. Take Me Home has been dominating the market all week. However, that has not been the case with the band's brand new single Little Things, which at the beginning of the week was being outsold by new tracks from Bruno Mars and Little Mix plus Parlophone act Gabrielle Alpin's John Lewis sync The Power Of Love. Mars' Elektra/Atlantic-issued Locked Out Of Heaven led the midweeks at that stage and was around 5,000 sales ahead of Syco act Little Mix's DNA in second place with Alpin third, while One Direction were a distant fourth, nearly 16,000 sales behind Mars. By the end of Thursday, though, the situation had completely changed with One Direction up to 2 and only around 1,500 sales behind Mars who has a 2.6% sales lead over the boy band. The momentum clearly seems to be with One Direction as they look to score simultaneous singles and albums chart-toppers. On albums Rod Stewart's Merry Christmas Baby, his first release since switching from Sony to Universal, looks like debuting at 2 ahead of The Rolling Stones' new Polydor best of GRRR. Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra's Decca-issued Magic Of The Movies has dropped 2-4 at this stage of the week, while Island act Robbie Williams' Take The Crown is down to 5 having debuted at 1 last Sunday. This Sunday's Top 10 is also likely to include brand new entries from Decca's Alfie Boe and Reprise/Warner Bros's Green Day, while Polydor act Lana Del Rey's Born To Die could return to the Top 10 following the release of the Paradise Edition of the album. Sales of the album are up 482% on the week, lifting it 38-8 on the midweeks. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Friday Update Top 40 Only Singles 1 Bruno Mars (1,5k ahead) 2 One Direction 3 Little Mix 4 Labrinth/Emeli Sande 5 Gabrielle Alpin Top 10 7 McFly 9 Lumineers Top 20 Ed Sheeran 17 StooShe.

November 12, 201213 yr I presume the Paradise Edition of Lana Del Rey's Born to Die is going to be combined with the standard edition, despite being available as a stand-alone EP in some countries, like The Fame Monster by Lady Gaga.
November 12, 201213 yr I'd guess Bruno will be #1 in updates tomorrow and it'll be close between him and 1D on Wednesday.
November 12, 201213 yr Either Bruno Mars or Little Mix for #1 please (preferably LM of course :wub:). I predict Bruno will be #1 on the mid-week chart.
November 13, 201213 yr *Hopes* for a no 1 album with + 100k in sales! Not sure how high the sales for the no1 will be, they could be below 100k but overall the top 10 will have bumper sales with more than 40k for the whole top 10 concieveable?! Edited November 13, 201213 yr by steve201
November 13, 201213 yr Steps have a new album out this week? Thought it was about to be released in December.. It's way too early for them, the album will have lots of time to drop out of charts before christmas shopping galore.
November 13, 201213 yr I wouldn't be surprised if Kylie's Flower is in the top 10/20 in the first set of midweeks. Kylie.com have pressed 5000 cd singles and 5000 7 inch records that were released on Monday. Assuming half of those go to UK households, it could put her quite high up initally. Of course it will probably drop out of the top 40/75 by the end of the week as the digitial is not selling anything.
November 13, 201213 yr 1D will be number 1 by the end of the week. 1. 1d 2. mars 3. little mix 4.lab 5. robbie
November 13, 201213 yr I don't think 1D will be #1 officially. Their lead is impressive at the moment but they have lost one day worth of sales and I don't expect them to hold up for the whole week.
November 13, 201213 yr Author Bruno should be #1 on today's update, but we are not going to get an update today until tomorrow, meanwhile OneD album in at.... Lewis Jones @lewisxjones Take Me Home is #1 in the midweeks https://twitter.com/search?q=lewisxjones&src=typd
November 13, 201213 yr Twitter ( profile says they work in artist management) Great news with @GabrielleAplin in at No.3 on todays midweeks shifting 24,325 copies of "The Power Of Love"
November 13, 201213 yr So Gabrielle is on course to do at least 65k? :o what's the highest sale for #4 charting song? (1D will overtake by tomorrow).
November 13, 201213 yr Author That's a pretty high sale for a Tuesday #3 midweek isn't it? Definitely I usually times it by 2.5 for the total sales which gives 60.8k, that's huge sales for #3, #10 could be doing over 30-35k. :o
